Galia dragged the Rama by the arm back inside the building to the private lounge where the other prisoners were gathered, not even bothering to try and pick the big guy up and put him on her shoulders. She knew she could, for he wasn’t that heavy, but it would leave her vulnerable and she didn’t feel like trusting the local denizens that much. After she got him inside the Knight deposited him next to the last four individuals she’d claimed from the Kiritas, then headed back out to get the 5th of what was 12 reported captures…with a few having slipped their grip again.

This time, though, they had some 40+ captives and hopefully that was going to be enough to get the answers they needed.

As Galia walked out Donn knelt next to a Drepwen with his exposed fingertip on his forehead, probing deeply into the unconscious mind as he had been doing the others. There was only so much information he could get when they were asleep, but he was using it to sift through the lot and figure out who would need a thorough interrogation later. Right now they were in the middle of a raid on a world that they hadn’t announced their presence to, and while technically Archons could go anywhere within the ADZ, slums like this didn’t take well to following rules, meaning that this wasn’t a safe place to stay and chitchat.

And even the governments of a lot of member races didn’t hold to that policy, though they’d initially agreed to it upon being given territorial slots as they fled the lizards and others, giving rise to a number of previous conflicts when Archons had gone in to investigate or put the smack down on someone who deserved it. Star Force wasn’t about to back down under public pressure, and routinely asserted the agreed upon rules despite the pushback. Donn wasn’t too sure how this particular region worked, but he knew the Scionate and Lacvamat had gotten extremely territorial given that they held systems with no Star Force presence.

The Archons usually asked permission, just to be nice, but if they refused they’d go in anyway…and Donn had had a great deal of experience doing just that with Crimson Team, though most of their ops were not public knowledge and had them going in and getting out before any of the locals even knew they were there, much like this mission. Any forewarning to the local authorities might have tipped off the Compact that they were coming, so Donn had expected to have some local security troops showing up on the doorstep to deal with the ‘interlopers’ in response to an alarm.

That hadn’t happened yet and the Kiritas would give him a heads up before anyone else could get inside, though the complex was quite large and the 8 of them couldn’t cover all the entrances, just the main ones. Donn figured he had a few minutes at least to do some probing and he wasn’t going to waste a second of it.
