Imperious Nebula, Atlas Sphere, Trajas Palace, Throne room:

Dozens of Priest mill about at the foot of the massive dais that holds the famed Dragon Throne of Atlas. They look on as the Demi-Priest Argus makes his way into the room and down the length of the red carpet right to the steps of the dais. Argus’s long, black, flowing priestly robes sweep back as he walks half way up the steps of the dais and bowing deeply to the empty throne turns and looking down on his fellow Priest says,” I thought you would enjoy this, I am about to contact the Emperor with a gift, for it is never advisable to contact him without one.”

Argus holds out his hand and the Priest look on as the massive wooden doors open and two massive TitanGuard march into the room holding between them the battered form of a young woman, her armor bashed and bloody, her once beautiful face tear streaked and scarred. Argus laughs as he says,” May I present the daughter of Atlas, Aria.” There is a hushed gasp as Argus moves down the steps as the TitanGuard stop short of the crowd and heft her high. Argus looks with feigned pity as he says,” A certain young lady thought that she had not been watched during the Civil War.”

Argus moves closer and grabbing her hair wrenches her head back so that she can look into his eyes as he says,” Did you think that from the time you disappeared from the shipyard til 3 days ago that we were not watching you, foul spawn of Quetesh!” Argus brings his face closer as he says,” You were followed by Ash’rak at every turn, every contact you made we killed, every safe house you visited we burned, your would be coup is a joke and is exposed witch!” Argus lets her go and wipes his hands on a towel with a look of distaste as he says,” But your ultimate fate is not mine girl, it is his!”

Behind Argus the holoprojectors roar to life as they project the massive image of Emperor Atlas into the vast throne room. Atlas looks down at her and with an irritated looks says, “Aria is it? The daughter I have never met, the daughter who would forsake her father without even knowing him, has your mother poisoned your mind so badly that you would act as nothing but a marionette to her will?” Atlas shake his head sadly as he says, “IF I was not busy with this upstart Republic I would come and deal with you personally, but I have no time for afamily reunion now.” Atlas looks slyly at Argus as he says,” Tell me girl what should I do with you?, What would you do?”…..

,” Tell me girl what should I do with you?, What would you do?"

Aria smiles, head down low, her maroon mane dirty and mottled "You know what i would do" she laughs
"Or prehaps you can have done to me what he done to youre precious Circe, i heard he has her head as a trophy of his accomplishment, but i would not bother - not much of a trophy..."

Imperious Nebula, Atlas Sphere, Trajas Palace, Throne room:

The holographic image of Atlas sneers and making motion laughs as he says,” I see you have your mother’s temperament, how very charming.” Argus looks sinister as he looks over her shoulder and Aria turns and sees two Priests pushing a floating carriage into the room. They stop a short distance from her and press some crystals on the device, which lowers and settles into the floor. The carriage segments and begins to deploy into a seat of some kind.

The cruel demonic voice of Atlas says,”It is a shame that I could not be there for a true family reunion, but I guarantee that when we do meet you be of a much more pleasant disposition.” Atlas laughs wickedly as his image fades. The Demi-Priest Argus steps close and holding up her chin says,” The Za’tarc chair will have quite a time with you.” Aria’s eyes go wide as she quickly looks over her shoulder to realize that the floating carriage was a mobile version of the chair. Argus laughs as the TitanGuardsmen growl ominously and begin to drag her to the waiting priest and the Za’tarc chair….

She struggles, as her feet are dragged "Argus!" she shouts "are you so clouded by your love for your titan that you are even comprimised? i learnt that you are one of the more logical grunts of the crumbling empire..."

Argus holds his hand up and the TitanGuard halt their progress as Argus smirks and says,” If that was your attempt at a compliment it was lacking girl.” The sound og his armored boots fill the room as he walks around and stands several feet from her and folding his arms into his robes says,” A last minute attempt at a ploy? Why bother? The Titan has spoken, your fate is sealed, in a few moments your new life will begin for the better no doubt.” Argus looks over his shoulder at the now humming Za’tarc chair and says,” Any last words “princess””…..

she looks him directly in the eyes raising an eyebrow "I misscalculated your intellectual capabilities... But tell me, of someone who is known to have loved no material object as much as Circe, to not show a flicker of emotion, you cannot disagree, there was no true emotion, not even in his vocals, now you tell me that is the true Atlas, the one destroying the history of our race, you tell me he is the truth"

The Demi-Preist Argus stops in his path, and looking Aria over looks suspicious as he says, “Not the real Atlas? What foolishness is this, true he seemed to lack any true emotion at the loose of his beloved daughter, but to go so far as to say it is not the true Titan is blasphemy, especially without any proof.” Argus pulls one of the voluminous folds his black robes back and produces a pain stick as he twirls it casually and says, “I will give 30 seconds to convince me, or you will have an very unfortunate accident and will never make it to the Za’tarc chair!” Argus points the sticks curved end at the forehead of the beaten Princess….
