The Burden of Command, page 46
part #14 of Empire Rising Series
“Very good,” the Speaker said, “I will expect regular updates on this. The General Assembly Members may have more questions for you, so do not leave the homeworld just yet. You will be informed if you are needed further before the day is out. May I ask, where do you plan to head once we are done with you?”
“To Karacknid space,” Rarmanca answered at once. “I have a meeting scheduled with Imperator Tanaka-lan. If it goes well, the end of the Karacknid civil war should be in sight.”
“Then we will delay you only as long as necessary,” the Speaker said. “For the sooner we have the Karacknids, Humans, and even the Antarians at war with one another, the more easily the Assembly and all of our people will sleep at night. You are doing a satisfactory job Agent. Continue the good work.”
Sensing that she was being dismissed, Rarmanca prostrated herself before the Speaker once again. “It is my honor to serve the Assembly.” Raising herself, she quickly left the large auditorium. Entering the lift, she tapped the button that would take her to the ground floor again. As she descended, she relived the brief conversation. Her tongue began to flick back and forth from her mouth excitedly. A number of new potential exploits were coming to her. Soon, neither the Humans and their allies, nor the Karacknids, will dominate the Karacknid sector, she promised herself. And then my name will be spoken of throughout the Ministry of Seclusion for centuries to come.
The End.
I hope you have enjoyed this continuation of the Empire Rising Series. The tale of James, Christine Jonathan, Georgia and all the others will continue in book 15 where the even greater threats to the Empire will threaten to stretch the Imperial Navy to breaking point.
