[quote][b]Remus (Jul 08, 2003 12:50 p.m.):[/b] [b]THE STORY[/b] [i]Chapter III: Soldier[/i] In a cutscene, we see Seila step off of a shuttle onto Ixim soil, looking around her with presence and authority. Nemin walks up and falls into step beside her as they walk toward a cluster of tents, and reports the current situation. She asks to see one, and is taken to a ruined fort strewn with dead draconans. In the distance, she sees smoke. Returning to Xan, we see him standing alone before a pair of funeral pyres, the smoke from which is rising high into the air. Xan greets Seila solemnly, and congratulates her on the success of her army. Seila invites Xan to return with her to the camp, and he accepts. That evening, at dinner, Xan accepts her two-year-old offer to join. Xan aids the assault the following morning, fighting beside the other soldiers (a condition of his enlistment). Thanks in large part to Xan's help, the offensive is successful. That evening, at the celebration, Xan is greeted and congratulated by many of the freemen formerly of Arraxis' plantation, now officers in Seila's army. A cutscene summarizes the progress of the recapturing of Ixim. Xan is assigned a squad to lead in the final attack on the main draconan installation, which he commands through a mini-game. After the successful completion of the Ixim campaign, Seila leaves the bulk of the army in Nemin's hands and departs for Calera with Xan. There she gives a stirring speech to an assembly of fence-sitters. She asks Xan to say a few words. Nervously, Xan gets up on stage, but before he can speak, he senses an attack and moves in time to catch an energy bolt in the shoulder. As he falls he sees a dark shape in the rafters fade into the shadows. Seila drags him off stage, grabs a rifle, and leaves in pursuit of the assassin. Xan passes out. When he comes to, Seila has returned, and tells him that no one could find anything. She decides that it would be best for them to be scarce for a while. They depart with her entourage for TC-2471. Along the way, Seila explains about the Hive. They are intercepted and brought before the Queen. Xan acts as an interpreter for Seila, speaking mind-to-mind with the Queen. An agreement is reached wherein Seila's army may use the system as a staging area for an assault on Commonwealth space, and Xan must take a self-willed Drone with him as an observer. They depart Hive space, returning to Calera. Many new recruits have been enlisted. Xan is surprised to meet Kariis there. Kariis reveals to Xan some of the shadier operations Seila's army has been carrying out without Xan's knowledge. When Xan confronts Seila, she accuses him of weakness. Xan leaves.[/quote]
