[Retane]

"What's the Green Eyed monster?" Reatus asked, slightly concerned.

Retane watched his facial expression and saw that Dante wore almost the same visage. The namekian wanted to laugh and smirk, but he held it back. "The Green-Eyed Monster is a nasty one. He sneaks up on you when you start having jealous thoughts of another, wanting what they have or thinking that you deserved it. He grabs you when you are least expecting it and latches on, feeding off those bad thoughts you have until he consumes you and makes you do bad things. His name is Envy."

Reatus looking almost unnerved for a moment, glanced at his brother who had a grin on his face, "Envy can try to sneak up on me but if he tries, I'll hit him one good time and he will run away crying!"

Reatus, looked back at Retane and nodded with his own grin as he regained his confidence, "Yeah! What he said!"

The Emerald Warrior grinned at their eagerness and patted them both on their heads. He stood up, looking down at them and hoped they would never have to deal with the green-eyed monster, but thought that a bit of sibling rivalry might push them to get stronger and hone their skills. That would be up to fate to decide, and he would not intervene on their own paths to growing. They seemed like they could manage themselves, but he did have an idea and produced the Dozier from his cloak. He handed it over to the siblings and the glanced up at him curiously before opening it and starting to read. Retane waved them on to follow him as they read up. The two whispered and pointed at things on the paper as they tried to figure what it all meant.

The trio of nameks soon found themselves entering the Control Room of Jade Reckoning. Sasha, Grixx, and the two Lythian's were near the center looking up at Jade while she was doing a scan of the perimeter, perhaps still trying to figure out how Deadpool managed to get in and get a hold of Triumpht. As the door slid closed behind the namekians, Reatus looked up, "What is the Copper Eye and what is Project: Rogue Code?"

Retane grinned and read the face of Sasha as she heard the names. The mercenary from Coruscant seemed to have heard of the names, and may have had some intel on it, but her eyes didn't really tell a whole lot. Still information was information, and the namekian wasn't sure what to believe on the paper and what not to believe on it. Lady Tsunade had given it to him, but it had to deal with the Empire once again. He hadn't actually read the Dozier yet, but he knew there was a ninja in the Pale Moors he would meet that could help him out with the mission.

"So they hatched did they? They look so much like you Retane, " Sasha said, changing the subject. The Leader of the Horsemen wasn't sure if it was intentional or unintentional, but looked back with a nod.

"This is Dante and Reatus. Reatus, Dante, I'd like you to meet Sasha, Grix, Arith, Inirtias, and Jade", the namekian said as he pointed each one out, finishing with the female namekian on the large monitor who offered a gentle smile. The two boys grinned and waved, "Probitas has also hatched, he is in the care of the Hidden Village. I don't know about the other three."

The Golden Warrior strolled over and knelt down to the to namekian children, "I just want you to know, I was with your father when he gave birth to you and I was also the mid-wife."

The green mercenary let out a low grumble shaking his head as he planted his palm upon his face. after a few moment's he removed his hand and before the two young namekians could ask another question, Retane looked to Sasha, "So he asked a valid question. What do you know about the Copper Eye and the Rogue Code?"

The slender brunette paused for a moment, as if thinking or digging out information from her past before she spoke, "I honestly don't know much about it. It was said that Copper Eye was a group or terrorists set out to destroy the Empire or someinthg. Hey used the Dataverse as a hide out. Judge Dredd, space marines, and Bounty Hunter's Samus Aryan and Proto Man went there to stop them. The Project: Rogue Code, is a mission trying to catch a rogue space marine that was using a prototype device that allowed them to enter the Dataverse from just about ahywhere with a slow upload time. He went AWOL, and has been hiding in the Dataverse ever since. Since his body is a digital code, he is considered the Rogue Code."

"That's all you know?" The namekian questioned, watching her eyes for the truth.

She nodded after a pause, "I wasn't involved in the operation. I just heard the tales and rumors like everyone else."

The Emerald Warrior saw that her eyes hadn't betrayed her and gave a nod, "Can you use Jade and see if you can find out anything else?"

Sasha offered a nod , but turned around, looking at the envelope in the young namekians' hands, and after a brief moment, "You're going after another Empire Artefact?"

The green warrior nodded, "The ninja offered us two missions. Jack took one and I took the other. He should be heading towards the Ashen Steppes as we speak."

Sasha's eyes rose at the statement but she didn't speak. Retane knew her thoughts, or could guess that she were suprised by his actions. He wondered if she questioned his decisions, but wouldn't outright question her in front of the others. Maybe she was uneasy about what had happened from their first encounter, perhaps it was something else. The Emerald Warrior would find out later. Right now he had a mission to prepare for. "I don't know if Jack is returning here to prep for his mission, he may just leave outright from where he is. He has the communicator, so it shouldn't be a problem.

"I have the Dozier, and I'm about to leave. I just thought I would let you guys know what was going on. Arith and Inirtias, I'm going to unsummon you for now, for when I need you two but other then that, I think it's time for me to go." Retane took a deep breath and turned around.
