Stokes knelt in the crater, surrounded by pieces of Kurze and his entrails. He finally stood and walked out of the crater to see Lock with his pistol aimed at him. "Cadan Stokes. I am arresting you for the murder of Warmaster Kurze." he spoke coolly. Stokes just stood there confused as Isaac came over "Lock what the hell?!" he shouted as Erebus restrained him. "You and your co-conspirators will be intered in crystaline statis. If you resist you will be killed." Lock continued as the men started to complain and raise weapons to which the Darkstriders aimed at them. Stokes looked at Lock angrily "You backstabbing Bastard!" he shouted Charging Lock and Lock merely clicked his fingers. Stokes froze as blood poured from his mouth. "Will you comply?" Lock asked and Stokes nodded as he bled. Lock clicked his fingers again and Stokes' heart started beating once more. "Assemble the traitors on the shuttle. I am going to 318." Lock spoke as he disappeared.
The 318 news crews had gathered around the government building, most of them confused. As the great clock in the centre of the city chimed 3pm Lock stepped out onto the balcony of the building. "Greetings, people of the Fedaration. I am Knight Lock of the Nex and it pains me to inform you the Warmaster Kurze has been murdered!" he spoke to gasps and whispering from the crowd. "This man" he began throwing out a hand to a huge screen displaying a restrained Stokes "Killed the Warmaster in cold blood, seeking to take his place through subterfuge and murder. Myself and my forces were to late to stop him, however we did manage to arrest him and all involved and rest assured they will never see the light of day again. With no clear line of succession, the Nex will be annexing Krieg Territory, but fear not, this is no hostile take over. You will benefit from Nexus citizenship, and the benefits it brings. Our people will live in harmony, your barren worlds will be restored to their former natural glory, your families will be cared for, and the defence of your nation will fall to us and a voluntary defence force. In this time of sadness, there is hope. We will protect you." Lock finished speaking and there was silence. Slowly a man started clapping, and others followed until the crowd was cheering and clapping. Lock just smirked at their cheers as he walked off the balcony. "Fear not Stokes, my words were not lies." he spoke as the crystal climbed Stokes body slowly. "Your people are safe." he said as Stokes was fully encompassed in the crystal.
