Episode 9 What is Mine

General Jax Brynn, a formidable figure in the ranks of Atuj'R's military elite, had orchestrated the coup that had sent shockwaves through the planetary system. With a mind as sharp as the gleaming blade of a sword, he meticulously planned every move, leaving no room for error.

His ambition was as boundless as the cosmos itself, and he had seen the opportunity to seize power as the path to realizing his vision for the future of Atuj'R. Behind closed doors and veiled in secrecy, he had gathered a cadre of loyal officers and influential figures, all driven by their shared desire to unseat the democratically elected government and place themselves at the helm.

On the fateful day of the coup, he had executed his plan with precision, using the military's formidable might to swiftly neutralize opposition forces and seize control of key governmental institutions. The chaos that had ensued had been calculated chaos, a means to an end that he had envisioned for years.

As the mastermind behind the coup, Jax Brynn now finds himself in a position of ultimate authority, the reins of power firmly within his grasp. He believed that his vision for Atuj'R would bring prosperity and strength to the planet, even if it meant extinguishing the flame of democracy that had once burned brightly.

General Jax Brynn, despite his newfound power and authority, found himself facing a growing crisis that threatened to slip through his fingers like grains of sand.

Reports had been trickling in, painting a troubling picture of citizens leaving Atuj'R in droves, defying his rule, and seeking refuge in distant quadrants.

The situation was a mounting challenge to his authority and a direct affront to his vision for the planet's future. These efforts to smuggle citizens away from Atuj'R represented a resistance he had not anticipated.

These ants think they could undermine his grip on power.

As General Jax Brynn reviewed the intelligence reports, a sense of urgency weighed heavily on his shoulders. He knew that he needed to regain control over the situation to preserve his newfound authority.

He held a report in his gloved hands, its contents weighing heavily on his mind. As he read the words aloud, the gravity of the situation became clear.

"Quadrant 06, Planet Atuj'R Vecta-06," he began, his voice laced with a mixture of frustration. "Over 500 civilians have been reported to seek asylum in Quadrant 04 Planet Proxima."

Planet Proxima was once governed by a tyrant Queen. If she were still alive, she would have shot the refugees down and had the space winds scatter their remains.

"It seems the new queen is different."

The words echoed in the room, and for a moment, the general's stern demeanor wavered. Proxima had been under the yoke of a tyrannical ruler, a queen whose cruelty had left scars on the collective memory of its civilization.

Jax Brynn's eyes narrowed as he considered the implications of this report. Over 500 civilians had made the perilous journey to seek asylum in Quadrant 04 on Planet Proxima, a bold act that spoke volumes about their desperation to escape him.

"What's mine is mine," he said as he held a picture of the new queen up to the light of his dimly lit office. There she was, a pathetic picture of a queen embracing what should be his people. "What's yours? It could also be mine."

The next day, General Jax Brynn, was resolute in his determination to regain control over the situation.

His directive was clear: retrieve the people fleeing Atuj'R and bring them back under his rule.

With a steely resolve, he mobilized Atuj'R's military forces, marshaling the might of the planet's security apparatus to carry out his command. Patrol ships were dispatched to intercept vessels carrying refugees, deploying stringent measures to halt their escape and bring them back within Atuj'R's borders.

Borders were fortified, and security checkpoints were reinforced, making it increasingly difficult for those seeking asylum to slip away.

The general's orders left no room for negotiation or hesitation, as he was determined to reassert his authority and quell the growing resistance.

If they did not want to live in Atuj'R. They will die on Atuj'R.

As the operation unfolded, it became a race against time, with refugees and their allies mounting desperate efforts to secure their freedom, while General Jax Brynn and his forces pursued them relentlessly.
