The Secondary Saga - Prologue, Introductions

[Yu Kanda]

Klaud was leaning against a the tree while observing, judging the people around her. Some looked quite peculiar, some she didn't trust from the first impression but there we also those that she could see as potential allies. She was not the only person with somewhat of a military background. Near her was a young man with short dark hair standing near her. The emblem on his heavy armor, the gun, his way of standing and observing, all signs of him being a military man. But he seems to be more confused than any of the others, perhaps he only recently got taken into the Omniverse, or did the ghost-girl get to him as well ?

“So what brings a general to the front lines?” Klaud turned her head towards the older gentleman that approached her. Her eye quickly moves up and down as she quickly observed the man's appearance. He was an older man who must have seen many hardships, not only did his eyes betray the suffering and pain he has gone through over the years, he was also missing his left arm. Even though the man may have seen better days in his youth he stroke her as friendly and though. His clothing and weapon suggested that he as well could be a military man.

"Same as any of you, the search for the one they call Omni. Besides, where i am from, Generals are expected to stand in the frontlines. What about yourself ? You strike me as someone who has seen his fair share of combat ?"

The man offered her a friendly smile " You may be right about that one, and yes, Omni is also the reason I am here today. The name is Isaac" His right hand was extended towards Klaud as a greeting which she gladly accepted and shook his hand. " General Klaud Nine, but in this place Klaud will do just fine. So what is your take on all of this ?" She nodded towards the others in the rather unusual group which only became bigger in numbers.

"I am not quite sure myself yet, we have some very, unique individuals."

"That we have indeed, and to be honest i have trouble seeing myself working with several of them. Glad to see some people with some military background here as well. Hopefully common ground like that will suffice as a foundation for cooperation and trust within a group like this." Klaud's words were carefully picked and observed the man's reaction.

"Perhaps, yes" Again he offered a gentle smile. It was difficult for Klaud to read him and was not completely sure what he meant by that. But before she got a chance to ask him the young soldier behind him which she was observing earlier loaded his gun for everyone to see before introducing himself to the group.

"Col. Jan Templar, of the ISA. Interplanetary Strategic Alliance. for those who don't know."

" A colonel hmm? So what does a Colonel want with Omni ?"

Jan turned his attention towards Klaud and Isaac as she addressed him. He approached the duo, taking another whiff of his cigarette before talking to them. " Ma'am i don't even know who this Omni character is everyone is talking about. What the hell is going on here"

Both Isaac and Klaud looked at him for a moment. He clearly hasn't been in the Omniverse very long. But if the ghost-girl led him here he had a reason to be here .

"It seems there is much you need to know soldier. The story i am about to tell you might strike you as odd at first but it is the truth."
Klaud and Isaac both began explaining to him where he was and what was happening. At least as much as they knew themselves. Which wasn't a whole lot when it came to the ghost-girl.

During their talk the group only expanded. Just how many more were joining them ? Klaud just hoped she made some allies for the venture to come.
