(OOC: Although he would ignore this, i have to make it clear, but i dont care even as well. text wall time! )
-soon, this speech is broadcasted in numerous locales of crawler-owned land and Breen clears his throat and looks serious, looking away to glimpse his notes before turning back at the camera. His snow-white hair and beard gleeming in the camera that gave off this seemingly handsome affect to him.-
“...I have been asked to say a few words to the transchimian bat arm of Chima’s Sector Seventeen Overwatch, concerning recent successes in breaking away from the rest of the Overwatch, as well as their appointed commander i gave them. Let me say up front that I regret having to temper my heartfelt congratulations to their commander with a strong measure of disappointment. But I wouldn't be doing my duty as Overwatch Administrator if I didn't pass along the message I have received from Our Benefactors. The break up of the trans-chimian bat arm is an event of major significance, make no mistake. And while it's true that conceivably we scorpions could have taken it back in our control at almost any time in the last several months of Barney’s Forgotten leave, the manner of Brakket’s and morely Brakket’s decisions may prove to have unexpected problems.”
”It cannot have gone unnoticed by all Forgotten resistance members that major slashing of Overwatch numbers coincided with the act of giving more shelter to Scordon Freeman. This might cause other resistance members to not think twice before harboring Doctor Freeman. It might cause them to not question his allegiance; even prompt some to not turn him out, or turn him over to our cause. However, we cannot count on such developments. Doctor Freeman's reputation is such that other desperate renegades are likely to grant him a great deal of license in the spirit of spreading general chaos and terror In Chima. This brings me to the one note of disappointment I must echo from our Benefactors. Obviously I am not on the ground to closely command or second-guess the dedicated forces of the Overwatch, but this does not mean I can shirk responsibility for recent lapses and even outright failures on Barney’s and Barney’s part. I have been severely questioned about these shortcomings, and now must put the question to you both, Barney and Brakket...”
”How could one man have slipped through your force's, not just mine’s, fingers time and time again? How is it possible? This is not some agent provocateur or highly trained assassin we are discussing. Scordon Freeman is a theoretical physicist who had hardly earned the distinction of his Ph.D. at the time he left Aperture Mesa to start his “adventures” if you will. I have good reason to believe that in the intervening months, he was in a state that precluded further development of covert skills. The man we have consistently failed to slow, let alone capture, is by all standards simply that—an ordinary man. How can we have failed to apprehend him?”
“Well… I will leave the upbraiding for another time, to the extent it proves necessary. Now is the moment to redeem yourselves. If the Transchimian Scorpion and Spider forces are to prove themselves an indispensable augmentation to the Combine Overwatch, they will have to earn the privilege. I'm sure I don't have to remind you that the alternative, if you can call it that, is total outland extinction – in union with all the other unworthy branches of the chimian species’. Let's not allow it to come to that. I have done my best to convince Our Benefactors that you, Brakket, Barney, and to an extend, Bliston, are the finest the chimian species has to offer. So far they have accepted my argument, but without concrete evidence to back it up, my words sound increasingly hollow even to me. The burden of proof is on all of you. As is the consequence of failure. I'll just leave it at that, but i should retort, this isnt about your forces, Brakket and Barney, it’s about all outland Overwatch... but i do concern on your actions of separating. I’m very close to tearing about our tribe’s relations my little brother ensued, and im not hesitant to cut ties betwen our tribes. Consider this a warning, that said, it’s all i have to say...”
-the speech ended as that as Scortica nodded with a mild frown in his face, looking all too serious, and the multiple screens all over Crawler Empire controlled lands (aptly named “Breencasts” ) that broadcasted this flicked out to Overwatch propaganda images-
(OOC: Wew, my fingers are tired. ) (OOC: TL;DR: I blame you and Barney for breaking away needed air-augmentation and much need forces important to the Combine or i will cut ties with the CE if you don’t give them bats back... and possibly risk all outland extinction by our alien overlords. )
OOC: I read it, i like reading. Barney's division and then, even after he was demoted, Scortica's division were needlessly attacking inlanders and forgotten. They proved they were not going to follow orders (which is going rogue) . What else did you expect? Unless Brakket gets orders from Balthazar or Bliston to do otherwise, he does not care what Scortica says and will ignore him.
(OOC: I just make them act a bit brutal, so they are still following orders, no matter what you say. It’s all in the keyboard and mind! )
Suddenly, armed bats jump out of the shadows and surround Bratta in the throne room, their chi blasters pointed at her head. A British voice comes through the cave entrance, followed by organ music. It is Grand Admiral Balthazar, his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze emotionless. Balthazar: "Bratta, sister of King Bliston, I hereby place you under arrest in the name of the Crawler Empire." He steps closer to her as the bat soldiers handcuff Bratta. Balthazar: "You are probably wondering how I figured out you would defect. It is quite simple, really. For a while now I have been piecing together information. Your close relationship with the traitor Barney, the letters he has been sending you, your visits with the therapists, your time in the Asylum, your past interactions with Scrin, your past employment under Scrin, your subtle verbal and physical mannerisms when interacting with your brother, indicating your discomfort with the tribe, your recent odd behavior in regard to the Crawler Empire. And this newest letter... [he picks it up, reads it quickly, and casually rips it in half] ...was the final piece of the puzzle." Balthazar turns to the soldiers: "Take her to the bottom level prison. Actually, no. Take her to the highest level prison we have in this mountain. We can't have her imprisoned anywhere near Aperture, can we?" As the handcuffed Bratta is taken to the prison cave below the throne room (near the peak of the mountain), Balthazar sits on the throne.
(OOC: Thefirstdecade's post replying to this is nulled, because of the events on the FAC topic and the banning of all teleportation.)
Bratta is taken into a prison cell close to the top of the mountain. It is heavily guarded, with 8 bats around it at all times. Inside the cell is a toilet and a bed, but no TV or any radio-capable device.

OOC: The bats are in no way related to the aliens, and said aliens pose no threat to them, as the aliens will never come to Chima.
(OOC: you just wanna disregard my plot line i follow so much do you, it aint gonna change, bruh. They conquered all of the theoretical planet (say lets just make it earth as to not confuse anyone) in as little as 7 hours, even if that was a very very very long time ago. They just didnt notice chima yet. )

{Jammers on jgread} The Black Overwatch has been dissolved into the army for now. Do you think it would be better to stay that way, or if another elite unit was founded by Balthazar or Bliston and manned by the former black overwatch?

{JAMMERS! -Balthazar- ONLY!} Ewinus: "This is Ewinus, acting commander of the Eagle Tribe. The Gorillas just hit us with a blast from a Gorbav Gun, and are threatening to destroy the Spire unless the Crawlers withdraw within 24 hours."

{JAMMERS! -eagles- ONLY!} Balthazar: "I was under the impression that the Gorbav Gun was destroyed. We have hundreds of factories in your land, so we can reinforce your defenses. Additionally, I will be calling the Crocs to provide even more reinforcements. The gorillas' attack on the spire will be futile."
