Warmaster Syn Kaek looked around at those assembled. He had called this meeting, his first as Aedile of House Galeres since his departure, to address some issues he had been meaning to discuss. He looked out over the crowd of the gathered Galeres members. His Quaestor, Arcturus, has only just walked into the room. Kaek smiled darkly and cleared his throat.

"Some of you have criticized me for not making this address 'on time.'" The Aedile watched with pleasure as

the Proconsul of Arcona, visiting briefly, strolled into the room to hear these opening words. "Some of you are my superiors and some of you are not. Regardless of who you are and what you think, I shall make it clear to all of you my intentions."

"I have disobeyed my instructions because I so choose to. I am a Dark Jedi; I am not here to obey the wishes of anyone but myself. I will address you when I choose to: not on some schedule imposed by the Summit of this great Clan." Kaek smiled at Arcturus' scowl. Lan remained expressionless.

"Henceforth, let it be known that as a true Dark Jedi and not a whiny, spineless, follower of men, I assert my own doctrine of non-compliance. Let it be known as a contradiction in terms of all those doctrines that have come before that stress subservance before our masters. No longer. As a true practitioner of the ancient art of the Sith and a true master of the future of the Brotherhood," at this, most everyone in the room realized this was yet another Sith rant, "I will hereby declare that we are reverted to the old way of things but in a new fashion. From now on, I shall challenge with my very soul anything that asks for my blind obedience. And I shall accept anything with equal passion that which is of sound reasoning and appeals to my aspirations as a Sith Warmaster."

With that, he finished his lecture. The Sith smiled with satisfaction since his point had been made to his superiors

as well as his followers. Arcturus grinned silently and Lan turned away with disgust. Galeres was indeed the home

of Arcona's mavericks.

OOC: I hope you enjoyed my intro to this report. It comes at the middle of a hectic week. I've just moved into college so my report is naturally late. Instead of just making a standard report with no explanation, here is a fictional one and a real one. Hehe. Despite the fiction, my reports will be on time in the future. Thus enjoy the rest of my report; it will all be in character!

BIC:
