For Mando'ade

[Sisk_Renelo]

The halls of Haven were quiet as Sisk moved through them, flanked by the two Mandalorians that he had pulled aside after the convocation. Inga Kelborn, an old loyalist, and Ral Aran walked silently behind him as they moved deeper into the depths of the station. Around him bustled warriors who had sworn their loyalty who went about their daily tasks. Renelo, Orar, Fett, Skirata, independents, all of them united once again under one banner. And soon that banner would move, but for it to move effectively he needed more than himself. More than his Clan. He needed Mandalorians who could go where he could not, give orders in his stead, and most importantly be willing to do what was needed for all of Mando'ade.

As they entered the control center of Haven they were greeted by a mix of voices and computers, while members of Renelo checked readouts and tracked the departing ships, calling out outbound vectors and defense emplacement statuses. And in the middle of the room stood a holographic command plinth with an image of Haven surrounded by the swirls of the Veil, small green triangles escorting larger blue triangles away from the station, winking out of existence as they made the jump to hyperspace through the safe corridors meticulously plotted by the Protectors over a decade before. As the final ships sped away Sisk waved his hand over the holographic projection and shut it down. His hands found the edges of the Plinth and he let them rest upon the machined metal.

"Ner vode, inviting you here is a great show of trust on my part. And trust, as we all know, has been in short supply among us for many years." He looked them both in the eyes nodded slightly before continuing. "The members of my Aliit that were in your rooms have told me that you two defended the idea of reunification and vengeance with the most passion and fervor. It is for that reason and that reason alone that I have held you back. I need those who believe as I do, but who can see what must be done from different viewpoints. To do this I must have two different temperaments. The tactical minded to carry the sword, and the subtle to carry the needle. And it is for that purpose that I have chosen you."

The emotionless face of her t-visor seemed to still speak magnitudes for her as Inga Kelborn watched the signatures of the various Mandalorian ships disappear from the holoprojector. It was a gaze of awe. A gaze of wonder. A gaze of hope. Underneath it all, a gaze of apprehension if it all went horribly wrong. Those were her brothers and sisters going to fight the good fight. They were united under a common banner now. The days of the fragmented clans were no more. Renelo had plans for the Mandalorians and Inga had been asked to be a major part of these plans due to the fervor of her arguments. She stood aside another Mandalorian. She did not know much about him aside from the fact that his name was Ral Aran and that she'd be working with him as well as with Sisk Renelo. The blue hologram reflected off of her visor as she watched the ships disappear. As Sisk waved his hand to close the hologram, Inga looked at the clan leader as he spoke.

Grasping both sides of her helmet, Inga hoisted the beskar helm off of her head and lowered her coif. She pulled her hair out of her eyes and placed the helmet on the defunct holoprojector table as she nodded at Sisk. "Indeed, ner vode. I am truly honored that you would place this trust in me. This is a marvelous privilege to be part of these plans of yours. Your trust is well-placed. I am looking forward to working with both of you, Inga said. "I will be truthful: I was apprehensive about coming here as a former member of the Loyalist faction during the civil war. But now is not the time for factions among the Mandalorians. I can only hope that the others will recognize this. As for my clan, worry not. They will not hesitate at this chance to re-unite the Mandalorian clans once more."
