New Sadow Palace
Sepros, Orian system
Sakura Haruno was lost; it was a hollow and hopeless feeling. She had landed herself in a predicament she never dreamed of ever being in. It was something she feared telling the man she had been sleeping with for many months.
The Equite thought back to when she had first met the Overlord. It had been not long after the Battle of Lehon. Sakura had somewhat saved the life of her former master, Ashura Isradia while aboard the Harbinger. Ashura had been severely wounded by Lord Caerick's seneschal Eosara Goratis. She was now even with him as Ashura had killed her former master and freed her from the False Brotherhood.
Haruno had approached Tron about joining the Clan. The False Brotherhood Knight in essence had then defected and become a Disciple of Sadow. She was later given the rank of Templar. It seemed after their initial meeting a spark ignited between them. It wasn't love. It had been lust and basic attraction; all in all just sex. However, this time Aurelius got more than he bargained for, opposed to most of the women he had pleased himself with. Sakura knew how to play the game, and she knew how to keep it going. It had been something the bastard who had tricked her into joining the False Brotherhood years ago 'taught' her.
The female Obelisk had been in Tron's bed during the shocking incident that occurred near Inos. The Temple of Sorrow had been sealed off, meaning she couldn't leave. She didn't know the Orian system had descended into civil war until afterward. However, she was chilled to her bones when she learned the man she was sleeping with had planned it all. She had demanded an explanation from him, and she didn't get one. And now she was standing outside the Viceroy's office with news that perhaps would chill his bones instead.
"I'm afraid Viceroy Dlarit is in a meeting at the moment, Commander," replied one of Tron's Adjutants. "You'll have to wait."
It wasn't an answer Sakura liked as she demanded to know who the meeting was with. "With who might that be?" she snarled.
The clone looked at her impassively through his helmet. "Viceroy Dlarit is with Marshal Commander Paladin, Marshal Commander Macron Sadow, Senior Commander Tsainetomo and a new arrival by the name of Firefox, ma'am."
"F-Firefox," trembled the woman as she took a step back in fear. The others were bad enough, but now another Grandmaster was in the Orian system. Two former Dark Lords were with the Overlord. Sakura knew now that something was seriously wrong, indeed.

Inside the Viceroy's office
"I suspect the site of the necropolis you've been seeking is on the forty-second moon of Inos," said Macron as he sat at the meeting table with the others. The nearness of the three Elders made him quite a bit more more nervous than normal. He had been summoned along with Tsainetomo to debrief the Overlord on a recent discovery.
"What's your proof, Macron?" Asked Astronicus as the others sat silently with their cold eyes boring into the alchemist. "Your work is usually thorough, but even so..."
"Yes my Lord," replied the Warlord. "I did a preliminary landing and reconnoiter with Tsainetomo." The newly named Sadow nodded nearby as Macron continued with a nervous cough. "We found evidence of ruined temples. The feeling I sensed through the Mark of the Wanderer was strong with the Dark Side. And the rock type is basalt, which was popular with the Sith as far as building material goes. Also, there were traces of mining. As you know, often the Sith built underground tombs in what had formerly been mines."
"It is as he says," added Tsainetomo Sadow. "The architecture and markings that I examined were clearly ancient Sith in nature. So was the Korriban-type Zombie we encountered. And Urias Orian's weathered seal on one of the perimeter markers surely has me convinced as to the authenticity."
Both Grandmasters closed their eyes, their awesome command of the Force barely showing as they felt for the truth of the information. Both nodded sagely.
"That settles it then. As head of research and development, Macron you will take a group there and investigate the place. Report to me when you are finished," ordered the Overlord. "Tsainetomo, your skills as a warlike and studious Krath will be useful, as well as your common sense which Macron here obviously lacks. Please accompany him, as I know you both work well together."
Both the Sith Warlord and the Krath Archpriest stood and bowed. "As you command," they both intoned before turning and walking out the door past a concerned-looking Sakura.
"What the hell have you gotten me into this time, man?" asked Sai as they walked away.
Macron giggled.

"It's unfortunate this had to happen, Lord Sadow. But your test did ensure your assumptions were correct. The Star Chamber understands the urgency of this situation. Caerick and Vexatus' seeds of betrayal have indeed rooted themselves within the hearts and minds of your fellow clansmen," said Lord Firefox.
"Indeed, my lord. My public scolding from Darth Sarin will help fool those who have fallen to the traitors' manipulations from learning the truth," replied Tron.
Jedgar Paladin had been in deep thought, his eyes closed while he puffed on his pipe. The second Grand Master had meditated on the situation and finally added his thoughts to the mix. "And what of your leaders? Ashia's resignation will open a fight for the Consulship. Sarin will indeed want someone you trust to represent the clan on the Dark Council"
"That is something I have already seen to, your Grace. I have approached my old friend and ally Robert Daragon. I have no doubt that Ashura, Derev or Faeril would make a fine replacement," answered Astronicus.
"However, I don't know how far the traitors' taint has corrupted their minds. Governor General Daragon will be able to determine that. As a Son of Sadow he will enforce my will. Order will be restored. The Battle of Inos showed just how corruptible the Clan has become. I do not believe all have fallen, but those who have must be exposed. I am sure your presence in the Orian system will help Lord Firefox. We must be ever vigilant."
Both of the Grandmasters nodded. It wasn't a perfect solution, but it was an acceptable one.
"Indeed, Lord Sadow. When will you put your plan into action?," asked Grandmaster Firefox.
"Soon. There will be no place for the tainted to hide." Astronicus then asked, "What of the Thunder Dragon? Has there been any sign of Shan Long?"
It was Lord Paladin's turn to speak this time, "No. Although we have a theory where he might be Shan Long has become more of an enigma since he consumed Caerick. I suggest you do not dwell on him for now."
Tron's face had become a placid mask as he bowed his head slightly in acknowledgment.
"The time for talk has ended. We shall wait until your plan has initiated before acting," said Firefox gravely.
Then both Grandmasters stood, effectively ending the meeting. Tron Sadow stood as well.
"Good hunting, Astronicus."
Both men then left through a side door leaving the Clan Overlord with his thoughts. A buzzer sounded on his desk.
"Yes!"
"Viceroy. Commander Haruno is here to see you."
Sakura? What is she doing here? Tron thought and then replied. "Send her in, Dorn."
<><><>
Her heart began to quicken as she walked into the Overlord's office. It was a grand room with a huge holographic display at the center. There were two huge statues at the far end and in between them was the desk of the Overlord, Astronicus was standing next to it.
Sakura could feel his green eyes staring into her as she approached his desk. There was an awkward moment as she didn't say anything. Tron obviously must have sensed something amiss as he said, "What's wrong?"
The young woman trembled for a moment and finally replied, "I wasn't feeling very well this morning so I saw one of the medics." Her voice caught in her throat, giving away her intense emotion.
Her gray-steel eyes looked at the marvel floor and then to him. "Astronicus, I'm pregnant. And yes, it's your child without a doubt." The woman then dropped herself into one of the luxurious chairs (in fact the same seat Firefox had been sitting in). Her emotional barriers broke down and she started to cry. This was the last thing she had ever wanted to happen.
It was hard to tell how the Viceroy was taking this latest batch of news. The woman he had been sleeping with was now pregnant. He was partly to blame for that.
"What ever am I going to do with you Sakura?"
To Be Continued.

It's here! The site is mostly complete, and adds some very important items for the Clan to utilize.
1) Integrated News Posting
For general use, as well as relaying important information in the event of an issue with mailing lists, site downtime, etc.
2) Back-up Roster Listing
Copies of the Clan and House Rosters, which are password protected. In cases of the main DJB website being down, we have full copies of our rosters, including contact information.
3) Back-up Report Listing
House and Clan Summit members have the ability to add reports to the website, which can be utilized during site downtime.
4) Automated Library of Sadow
This is not quite complete, I'm working out some coding issues still. This will allow members to upload fiction, graphics, poetry, and other creative arts directly to the website, and be archived for all time in a safe location. We will also have the ability for members to critique uploaded content.
You may notice, most of the links on the site lead directly to the DJB Wiki. This is not out of laziness, it's simply easier. Anyone can update the wiki, rather then having to wait for someone to update the website.
If you have suggestions for additional links from the website, drop me an email and we'll see if it's something we should add.
