[dcs_p]Ace slowly raised his index finger, “Trust me, my new friend, to know secrets
such as my team does cannot go without price. Such information is only prey to
the predator of war.” He looked the other commander in the eyes, seemingly
judging the younger’s knowledge of politics. “You may not understand the system
even yet, but surely you know that underestimating politics can be dancing with
death. My friend Llana learned that all too well. For her mistake, her entire unit
was destroyed.”[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]Mike now realized how this man had survived such an exile from the mercenary
business. As with any good commander, Ace’s team was his first priority. Ace
had been close friends or even more with Llana of Llana’s Breakers, the
companion team of the Acer’s Hueys. By losing her and her entire team, Ace
was forced to take whatever actions he could to ensure the survival of his own
team. Unfortunately along with Ace’s safety net, all the Acer’s Hueys were
condemned to a life of never ending hiding. Ace and Mike both hoped to change
that soon.[/dcs_p]
