Welcome to Gaia! ::

Other than his own lord, Titan had made it policy to try to draw as little attention to himself as possible from the greater whole of the Negaverse high ranks. It was deliberate, but mostly out of a sense of not troubling them with the foolishness of a warhorse. They were busy with noble things, with great moves of strategy and sweeping edicts of command to worthy subjects and subordinates as far as he was aware. But he couldn't get by on these issues on his own, and he wasn't certain that his Lord's opinion would be in line with what might be the preference of their greater leaders. And having witnessed the presence of their Queen, he was fairly certain that going more directly to a high source would actually work for benefit and preservation rather than against.

So Titan looked for 'someone important in the Information Branch'. But he couldn't really remember anyone IN that branch's names, having not written them down ever. It made him nervous, both the idea of doing that should it not e destroyed immediately, and the idea of not remembering because it was a lot of names and ranks. So the only one he managed to be able to ask after was the very General King, and he found himself easily directed to the man's office.

He didn't have a very clear idea of the man. He might have seen him from a distance? Maybe? He almost wished it was from a distance right now. But that was foolish cowardice. Titan rapped on the wall next to the door- it would echo less, he hoped, and be less intrusive.

He wasn't sure if it was cheerful or not, but the greeting was certainly a lot more active than he was used to. The General-King Zinkenite didn't mince words or time, but then, why would he? Ceremonial expectations were perhaps too old fashioned, and Titan blinked owlishly before unfreezing and taking the two strides of his long shanks into the office.

"Konge Zinkenite, " Titan bowed low in recognition. "I could ....use clarification. Not on records, but it might help them. Some things have happened that are odd for being part of SpecOps. I do not know how to go forward. "

"There are two scouts. I met the first before I was raised up. She saved me from a Youma. Lady Pomona. She offered to take me when she 'phoned home'. To her place, Pomona. " Was it a betrayal to her to reveal or offer this to his superiors? He didn't know. Maybe? He was beholden to the jarls and Konge, though. It was uncomfortable, and the muscles of his jaw working showed it. "The second is very recent. Sailor Avior. I found him and he was not managing well. It is hard to explain. "

"He is not satisfied, he doesn't know much, and he suffers as new soldiers at first battles do. The fear and confusion that go along with it, but he has no King or Queen who's strength will lead him. A very young noble."

"We talked, I said if he was 'fighting for the safety of his home', meaning Earth, then he should join the our fight. We are that Kingdom. He was willing to hear me. He agreed to stand by me for a night and see the truth."

"I said I would not bring him to our gates. That I would try to answer what I could. It is a poor mouth to seek answers from, " Titan lifted a large hand to ruffle his own braid- light pressure pushed along scalp muscles as though to relieve a headache. "He was curious how he could join. How he would be marked one of us. I guess...how it would happen. How he would give fealty to the Throne here, and offer Avior as part of us. I don't know what I can tell. I don't want to betray our laws and needs."

The General King had gone to a sushi's world? It couldn't be a terrible idea then, could it? Well, other than he sounded like he was saying it was a positive experience sort of experience. And he knew Lady Pomona as well, which was reassuring. "Should I take her up on it then? And...what should I look for, or look to find? What would be helpful to bring back as information?"

Thankfully he'd written down notes back when he'd talked to Pomona- information to share and talk over with Colin. He couldn't quite remember why, but it had been important- maybe just because he certainly didn't want the other getting attacked by Youma. He'd brought the little notepad with him, and flipped to the pertinent pages, "She said all the every single planet were ruined. Her own had bees. Poisoned water. But that it was abandoned. "

Titan looked up from his little pad, "Avior...So I can tell him he will have to speak to one of the Konge if he is serious? Is there some way you would like for him to prove himself ? Or something I should look for in him? Or something to learn from him? "

"I am not so graceful in words. But he seems willing to treat with me honorably....it is unexpected, but an opportunity, I hoped. "

Titan scritched little notes to himself, listening to Zinkenite's advice-
Go to space- ok
Ask him what he proof


The best thing about notes was that they didn't have to be legibly English, Norwegian or Swedish to anyone but himself. He put the little notebook away, and gave a respectful nod. "Thank you, Konge. It puts my mind at ease ....I did not expect to deal with such things in my branch. But it is true what you have all said- everyone must have some skill in all the branches. "

"Should I send word of any new information? Or to another less busy Information specialist? I admit I cannot remember many names, and haven't met any to...know better."

Titan gave a stern, slow nod. Of course the General King would bring up that. "Data base is a computer word."

He'd gotten a a very solid 'C' or lower in any digital-focused course. He could turn on a computer, double-click, drag-and-drop, use very basic word processing programs, open a browser, 'research' a paper, and send email. He'd done every assignment, not stellar, and had shown up to every class. That was the extent of his mastery. 'Database' was scary, used only loosely in remedial Hillworth textbooks for remedial learners. "I will do my best."

Maybe he could find an info who was willing to help? He didn't expect it would be likely. 'Fine officers' was just as troubling. He'd just admitted he didn't know any of their names. He didn't recognize them. Ask for someone I don't know...

Titan gave another slow nod, more to himself this time, "I will do my best."

"That was I had to ask, Konge. I am honored." He bowed low for a held moment. "I will put it to work."
