The bar tender looked up as the women entered, she was young no older then 24, but his old eyes spotted the fact she walked with the grace of a trained fighter. This alone wasn't enough to worry him to much after all her facial tattoos did proclaim her as Brutor like himself. What was cause to worry was they didn't state her clan, unusual in itself but when coupled with the fact she was wearing a long jacket and trousers witch hid any others she may have it was down right curious.
However he had been a barman long enough that when she approached the bar and asked in fluent, though he didn't recognise the accent, Matari for a Ale he poured it without question, though looking into her eyes he saw more years there then her age betrayed. “This kids seen too many battles.” He thought. She payed and sat at the bar pushing her red braids back from in front of her eyes revealing multi pierced ears for a second.
He shrugged to himself and headed to the next customer chucking a glance at a group of people in the corner most wearing uniforms of TLF crewman and marines, not capsuleers but normal grunts like he had been back in his youth.
He let out a smile, remembering past battles,as the group of soldiers started singing.
“Men of Auga stop your dreaming
Can't you see their Hull plates gleaming
See their Ion trails streaming
To this battlefield “
He served the drink then turned his gaze back on the odd women and frowned as he saw her lips moving and heard her voice over that of the group the song now on its third verse.
“From the hills rebounding
Let this song be sounding
Summon all at Sasa's call
The mighty force surrounding “
The bartender shook his head as he spotted that the group had also noticed the red head singing it and a few had started to head over. As they reached her he started taking the more expensive bottles off the shelf putting them under the bar top.
“And what right do you have to sing that?” The speaker was another Brutor female this one not hiding the tattoos she had.
The bar tender put the last bottle under the bar and stood up just as the red head stood up herself sliding her jacket off “You have no idea Kid.”
The sight of the redheads arms made even the grizzled bartender do a double take, They was covered not only in tattoos but by dozens of small raised unusual looking scars, “Been a while since I saw those.”
The Scarred women grinned “Long time since I met someone who knew what they was.”
The bar tender shook his head at the small group confronting the women “I wouldn't.”
Most the group moved off except the women who had spoken who charged at the red head. “Don't call me Kid.” The bartender winced as the red head moved too swiftly to follow and defy moved to the side sending the other Brutor over the bar into the empty shelves, she then slid down the wall coming to a rest in a heap on the floor, before sitting back down and sipping her drink.
Now intrigued the tender moved over to her “Whats your name,” He lowered his voice “Kameira?”
The women sighed “Eliza Mariska and kindly don't call me that.”
The barman went to respond when another patron stood up “Alice's sister?” A Brutor bearing the marks of the Kal'tu clan, the owners of the local training dojo moved up to stand beside her.
Eliza nodded “Yeh,”
The Brutor chuckled “I'm Talis Kal'tu, her clan brother and that kid you so neatly put on her arse is Kali her sister as well.”
Eliza smiled “Yeh sorry about that” She offered a hand to Kali who was coming round and helped her up.
Kali shook her head “Don't worry about it, hell if I'd known who you was I'd of brought you a drink not attacked you.”
Eliza chuckled putting her jacket back on “You took my blood in, and offered me your hospitably without ever meeting me. I think I'll be paying for the drinks while I'm here.”
The bar tender looked on perplexed as the group decided to go and see where Eliza would be staying he then raised a Eyebrow as Eliza chucked a chip on the bar “Sorry bout the damage” The bartender swiftly pocketed the chip as the group left. She had given him a 2mil Isk chip more then enough to buy his bar many times over,he wondered for a second why someone that rich to be tossing that about would drink in a “local” but wiped it from his mind and went about the business of placing bottles back on shelves.

TLF Again
Men of Auga stop your dreaming
Can't you see their Hull plates gleaming
See their Ion trails streaming
To this battlefield
Men of Auga stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Stand and never yield
From the hills rebounding
Let this song be sounding
Summon all at Sasa's call
The mighty force surrounding
Men of Auga on to glory
This will ever be your story
Keep these burning words before ye
Matari will not yield
I smiled as I heard the song come over the comms, these midday patrols were always the most boring but needed to be done.
"Stay frosty lads, And remember theres some women of auga to." As my fleet laughed I checked the Camera drones of my dramial and saw that the compund was ours. "one down"
"Night hawk at my "Plex" gate." the call came though a litle rushed.
"Right guys be ready." I set course for the gate reported and as I exited warp I smiled The pilot hadnt left probally wondering why he couldent enter, I got point and shortly after the command ship wasnt bothering us any more
"Right Sasa jobs done I'm rtbing then standing down." I sent the message and after reciving the reply of "Good job Mariska." I left the fleet and started home.
I started thinking as I headed back to base, it has been 3 weeks since I left piracy behind on the request of my sister and have to admit its done me good.
As I dock up at base I smile to myself and decide its time to find a place to call home.

Coveant Attack
The Falcon touched down and from her capsule Ja'li Dertian sent a message to the hold.
“Your in rest is up to you I've done my part.”
Eliza Mariska double clicked her comm to acknowledge and looked at the only other member of her squad.
Vincent Pryce, The veto insignia on his dark combat suit blacked out, Checked his rifle one last time before slinging it onto his back and clipping his knives into place on his belt. “So far so good.”
Eliza nodded and checked her own weapons before drawing a silenced pistol “Lets go.”
The bay doors opened at Ja'li's code. And the two capsuleers passed into the Covenant of Ithiria Deritan.
Eliza looked at the Gallente as they walked unopposed towards the barracks “This is too easy where the fuck is everyone.”
Vince chucked the Brutor a sly grin “Don't Complain” as the pair entered the lobby in front of the slave barracks. Eliza broke into a run as she spotted a corpse on the floor and knelt next to it.
“Fuck its Kay. Vince check inside.”
“Their here but asleep and Fuck me Lizzy she looks just like you.”
Eliza flashed a weak grin as she laid her jacket over the body of the young Jin-Mei “I forgot you'd never met Alice better I wake her you get Sienna.”
She headed inside and carefully nudged the sleeping form of her sister “Hey Kid time to roll.”
Alice Mariska grumbled as her eyes snapped open suddenly fully awake “Don't call me kid and took you long enough.”
Eliza shook her head and unslung her rifle handing it to the younger Brutor. Looking over her shoulder she saw Vince doing the same to Sienna who looked at Eliza with red eyes. “Kay....they Kill..........”
Eliza nodded “Yes she's outside Ill take her Vince take point.” At the Gallente's nod she walked over to the body of Kaylee Orchidia and hoisted her carefully over her shoulder.
The group headed back to the Falcon without incident Eliza shook her head as they boarded the ship. “That was to easy.”
5 hours later.
Vincent Pryce stood a bit away from the smouldering pyre watching the Brutor scoop up the ashes.
Eliza then pulled a knife from her belt and cut a long gash in her arm without flinching.
Vince raised a eyebrow slightly as Eliza then rubbed the ashes into the wound and held them there until it stopped bleeding before heading back over to the ships.

Memorial
The words said by Eliza Mariska CAG of the Alcys and Capsuleer at the memioral for the bomber pilots lost in the attack.
Pilots, friends.
We have just sent off 40 of our Wingmen and yes they may of survived if as some of you are saying we had just blasted the planet some of you have come to call “The shit hole” from orbit.
But think of this why when the mission was simple recon would we wanna kill that many people? The person who set the charges killed your friends not Your command staff.
Yes we took a bloody nose but we will recover and come back stronger then ever to get our revenge. Lets leave this in the past until then and think of the future.
Yes we're alone Yes this ship rarley see's the actian it deserves but NO we are not without hope.
I may be a capsuleer but as the older pilots amoungst you will know I'm nearly always up there with you I die outta the pod thats it I'm gone.
So to you I say this We will previl we will continue and we will WIN.
Now drink hearty guys send them off in style.

Destruction at Dawn
The Achlys recovered from her jump and aligned to the planet on either side of her Sub Capitals and two Thanatos class carriers bearing the Markings of Citadel, Lonetrek and Forge Guristas bands formed up flanking the Nyx class super carrier.
On bored the Achlys the only capsuleer of the fleet Sienna “Nauticaa” Orchidia opened up a comm channel.
“Right guys you know the plan simple Re-con mission with a twist we go in land troops and raid the databases for information concerning the location of Kaylee Orchida and Angelina Ballentyne,”
Sienna waited for a moment for the cat calls on the Guristas ships and even amongst her own crew at the mention of Ange to die down, She was one of them and they knew it.
“Remember your training trust the guy next to you and we're get though this and be one step closer to bringing them home. Battle stations.”
At her last words controlled chaos erupted as bomber pilots scrambled into space to be joined by the fighter escort from the carriers.
As the fleet exited warp in orbit of the planet, A lightly defended outlying Deritan estate 5 frigates and 5 cruiser rose to meet the formidable assault force.
Down on the planet the dawn was ruined as the sky suddenly grew darker as thousands of missiles rose to meet the defence force quickly followed by 10 explosions.
Aboard the Achlys sienna smiled at the reports her bombers had taken down the land based batteries before they could make any major effect on her fleet, She made a note to praise the Guristas TRIAGE ability as she gave the order for drop ships to land.
50 Attack ships each bearing squads of 20 Guristas detached from the under belly of the Nyx and headed towards the planet, Fighters and Bombers followed closely in escort formation.
“Red leader this is Assault one we are touching down”
“Copy that Red blue and green squads pull up prepare to offer Air support.”
But as the fighters started to come about to form a perimeter a massive explosion rocked the estates .
Aboard the Achlys Sienna watched in horror as all 40 fighters in the air was destroyed by the blast as well as the drop ships and All of the estates.
“Fuck all ships BUG BUG BUG I repeat all ships pull out.”
The Nyx and the two thanatos's started to apply remote reps to any and all ships as the fleet started to turn away trying to out run the blast coming towards them.
“All ships away ma'am” The report came in from the captain of the lead Thanatos.
“Roger that get outta here”
“Not until you do Ma'am.”
Sienna swore but order the Achlys to align just as the mighty ship reached full speed she was rocked as the blast reached the 3 ships.
“Damage report.”
“Half armour Ma'am that was a hellva blast but were here.”
“The Degauss and Victory?” Sienna named the 2 Guristas Carriers that were on her flank
“Degauss is gone Ma'am Victory is badly hurt and listing our DC party's are en-route already.”
Sienna nodded to herself and sent a message preparing to rescue whatever crew members from the doomed Thanatos's as she could before pulling out.
On the other side of New Eden Eliza read the message then looked at the sleeping form of Dia beside her and held her head in her hands “What the fuck have I done.”
On bored the Achlys the only capsuleer of the fleet Sienna “Nauticaa” Orchidia opened up a comm channel.

Past Sins
I guide my Vagabond cruiser carefully along the length of the Achlys, Sienna's Nyx class Super Carrier while looking though my camera drones at the bulk of the Gallente built ship.
A sense of alarm fills me for a second as I see a Archon class carrier bearing the markings of the 1st Praetorian Guard passes unhindered though the shields of the star base, it leaves as I see docking tendrils extend from both it and the Super carrier and realise sienna is refitting.
I sigh as I know she's refitting to leave. I dunno where and I doubt even she does but I hope the fact she is being assisted by a 1PG carrier doesn't mean she's returning to the empire.
I turn my back on the “Achlys” probably for the last time and set off.
The Empire, my masters before I lost my memory and became a capsuleer. And who I believed I should serve as soon as I found this out. Holy shit what a mistake that was.
I can still remember the look on mryh's and the others faces when I left and the wardec came in. Thinking back I have no idea why I did that and will never forgive myself for it. But that doesn't change the fact, I did it. I betrayed the people who took me in when I was at the lowest I'd been at until now.
I gave her a chimera the other day. I really hope she doesn't think it was to make up for what I did. I want to of course but its something isk cant do.
I direct the Heavy assault cruiser though another Stargate and sigh again.
How the hell am I supposed to make up for betraying my friends. When I was a Kameira I wouldnt of dreamed of it. Why now I'm one of the immortals would I do that.
I let out a scream the sound hidden by the fluid surrounding me. That part of my past will never be forgotten as it shouldn't but I swear now if I can make up for it I will.
Now how to do it without fighting beside them that's the hard part.
**The Vagabond speeds away towards a belt.**
