Reports were still coming in from Count-Dowager Andarta and the agents in the field regarding the Battle of Serenno. The deserter Konstantine had made a desperate bid for Serenno, key to the Commerce Fleet's operation in a quarter of the empire. Its fall would have sent several supply lines into disarray. However, thanks to the sacrifices of two brave solders on Ord Radama, Serenno had been prepared. Konstantine's ambush was turned on the famed general. In the end, Battlegroup Statera lost and Konstantine was captured.Empress Teta

Konstantine had been put under heavy guard and transported to Empress Teta, where Geist was currently running operations to counter these anomalous insurgencies and insurrections. The Dark Lord had a high suspicion that Royston Spektor's treason was involved, but there was no concrete proof yet. And on its way was epiphanies gift wrapped in skin and muscles and bones called Konstantine. The traitorous general was being escorted by Imperial Guard to the Iron Citadel. The man was chained, traversing on mechno-chair. The Cinnagaran lord observed the bleeding horizon as Konstantine arrived.
"I remember Coruscant as if it were yesterday," Geist said, pleasantries forgotten in the wind. "I still feel every life that perished that day. I felt Andraste's raw power as she ravaged Coruscant. Years later, I experienced that raw power personally." Geist turned to face Konstantine. "I have endured the pain, endured the pain of the empire. And what have you done? Rather than endure the pain too, to aid the empire, you break it and hurt it and desecreate it. Tell me. Why are we here in our current predicament? What broke in you that caused you to turn on the empire, the very thing keeping order!"
