Not many of the troopers knew that their feeds were being relayed to their carrier and then beamed to any crazed adrenaline junkie CEO that paid a high enough price to see that footage.

Tachyon transmission technology made the universe seem like a much smaller place.

The consumers had flocked to the paid channel and the investment more than paid for the troopers extra training and tanks.

People loved to watch violence, the rawer and bloodier, the higher the cost.

He looked over the reports coming from his intelligence department who were acting as announcers, highlighting the most popular clips, throwing in information that Nivad or the viewers might find interesting. Such as the fact that the Troopers against a colonist revolution would be terrifying, bets were already being placed on the outcome of a battle between Reclaimer’s troopers and their next colonist uprising.

More bets were being placed on casualty ratios and the outcomes of Guaranak.

A message interrupted Nivad’s thoughts, the sound almost stunning him into inaction. No one called him unless it was of vital importance.

“Go,” Nivad’s voice cool as he accepted the call.

“There’s been a report out from Masoul. We believe that there is an underground religious network in play,” Dalia, Nivad’s assistant said, her voice level and emotionless. She had been in his service for five decades and more than earned her life-extending drugs. If Nivad came close to actually trusting a person, it was Dalia. She was certainly one of the few that he listened to and allowed to critique his plans.

Which made her simple message turn away from his holographic imager in thought.

“Go on,” he said.

“We have had only one report, but the source has been reliable, even through all of their checks for the last thirty years. They are placed in the mining facilities and have taken a position as CEO living on Masoul prime. It was only through their closeness to the population that they picked up rumors of not only a religious taint, but a possible group. They have not been able to confirm or deny the information. Their position as CEO puts them at a disadvantage. They wish to go undercover for more subterfuge,” Dalia said in her analytical and cool voice.

Neither Nivad nor Dalia ever said the name of informants or referenced which sex they belonged to. One never knew who was possibly listening in.

“Very well give them clearance, take measures to ready other agents if needed,” Nivad said.

“Yes sir,” Dalia answered, taking that as her cue to cut the channel.

Nivad’s eyes slid over to the holographic images of the Reclaimer’s troopers.

When Earth had started to colonize the stars they had initially expanded in the direction of Guaranak. Fifty years into exploration they had diverted their explorations to the other side of the sphere which became Earth’s colonies.

For a hundred-and-fifty-years people had been sent to these planets. They had the largest population centers of humans other than Earth itself. If something was going wrong with them, or they incited a rebellion then Strike station in Masoul would go active.
