Planetary Governor Corvin Augulant stood looking out the window in his office. His Deputy Governor Reeta Nirom, was dressed in her PDF Garrison Military attire of the Khymara Air Mobile Cavalry, a Dark Olive Drab Coat, Tan Shirt, Olive Drab pants with Black stripe, the Khymara PDF Air Mobile Cavalry in Black and Olive Drab shield with Dark Olive Drab Aquila as the Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, and her Service Ribbons on her chest. Her black hair done up in bun, her eyes the same color of the sky stood by a bureau reading the current incident reports.

  "You know, when I was a young man in the Air Mobile Cav, my flight commander, figured out stuff faster than you, Deputy, " commented Governer Augulant. 

   "Lucky for you, then. I had this blond rich kid Navigator, that got us lost, on his home planet, near his Family's ranch, in a canyon, he grew up in," responded Deputy Governor Nirom.

   They both laughed. Deputy Governor Nirom, or Colonel Nirom, a Valkyrie Chassis, Aqulia Lander, and Arvus Lighter qualified pilot, and was asked to become the Deputy Governor, when her former Navigator, a Captain named Corvin Augulant officially become Planetary Governor by family birth right. Deputy Governor Reeta Nirom was still Active Duty and Overall Commander of the Kymara Air Mobile Cavalry, but her duties limited her military commitments. Years of service together, highs and lows, happiness, loneliness, sadness, losses of friends and family, victories and defeats, through it all, created an unspeakable bound. 

   "Well, what do you see, Reeta," asked Governor Augulant as he dropped the formality. 

   "Corvin, my gut has a bad feeling. Something is not right. The Adeptus Arbites, have reported multiple incidents of mysterious military grade incendiary devices used in building ruins, source unknown. The Enforcers have reported multiple encounters of extremely violent gang fights in the underhive and Hive Cities, where one side is beheaded.  Lady Satzie Lucotor, Descendant of House Ko'Iron, is requesting a meeting with us and the leaders of the Arbites, Enforcers, Ecclesiarchy, Adepta Sororitas, and any higher ups in the Adminstratum as she has information that may seem to be crucial to the survival to the Imperium on the Khymara. My thought is make sure the Aquila Shuttle is fueled, stocked and ready to go, as something big is going to happen." Reeta answered honestly.

   "Well you confirmed my suspicions," Corvin replied. 

   Captain Corvin Augulant's family, has been in charge of Khymara for the past 150 years. Each member of his family that served as Planetary Governor each had stents in the local PDF, most as Armored tank commanders. Corvin was unique and chose flight school. He missed making pilot due to a minor eye sight issue. Corvin graduated 2nd in his overall class and 1st in his class of Flight Navigators. On his first deployment as a Lieutenant, the airbase he was at became under attack and the squadron, he was assigned to suffered major causalities. Between the 12 Valkyries assigned to the squadron, Flight 1 was deployed, Flight 2 were attacked while returning to base, Flight 3,  3 of the 4 were burning wreckage including Valkyrie 3-2 that was prepping for take off and destroyed and most of the crews were gone too. Corporal Caspiel Deddark and Sgt Enos Maldenze both heavy bolter gunners from Valkyrie 3-3 survived, along with Corvin from Valkyrie 3-4  were running down the tarmac towards, Valkyrie 3-1, Flight Leader Captain Nirom's Valkyrie. The Valkyrie flew at them closing the ground between the three men. Captain Nirom, touched down briefly, Corvin climbed in the navigator position with Caspiel and Enos jumped in the back, manning the heavy bolters. Climbing airborne, Captain Nirom then flew straight up so they all could engage the enemy fighters in a dogfight. Returning to another airbase, Captain Nirom would be promoted to Major, Corvin to Captain, with Deddark to Sgt, and Maldenze to Staff Sgt, for their gallant actions along with becoming the Squadron XO and eventually Squadron CO. After 5 years of service together, Jullianne Augulant, Captain Corvin Augulant's mother and Planetary Governor, passed away. Corvin left the PDF to take over as Planetary Governor. Nirom was promoted to Colonel and was placed in charge of the Air Mobile Cavalary. Staff Sgt Deddark continued to serve as Colonel Nirom's Khymara Air Mobile Cavalry High Non Commissioned Officer . Unfortunately Sgt Major Maldenze decided to stay in the squadron, and on the first training flight with the new squadron commander, the Valkyrie crashed due to pilot error killing all onboard. 

   "Wait, you want to run from a fight? Since when did that start happening, Reeta," Corvin asked. 

   "Corvin, I'm telling you this is bad. You and me spent years away from the fight as flight crews. Even the times we were flying med evac missions, you and me did not see it like Caspiel and Enos, Emperor rest his soul, did. You left the PDF, to take over as Planetary Governor, which was your birth right. Reports came across my desk as Air Mobile Cavalry Commander along with picts attached. Caspiel sometimes would see these photos and get silent. Once he described the smell, as he remembered from one of the Med Evac Missions. The description was so vivid, that I could smell it. You know Caspiel, he was a comedian and very likable. These photos he had saw, triggered memories and he was quiet and would seclude himself. I am telling you this because these reports of military grade incendiary devices used in ruins, means someone or something is hiding their activities." stated Reeta

   "What about the Enforcer's reports, seems odd to you?" asked Corvin

   "Well, is it in a fight both sides have casualties and this seems to contradict that. And the removal of the heads." Reeta said with a slight confusion. 

   "The Arbites are Off Worlders, the enforcers are locals. As local as us, Reeta. Maybe we went to school with some of the enforcers. But I do not fully trust them or expect them to not be corrupt. Lord Confessor Gallius Varnack and I had 8th Precinct Marshal Mat Dylon meet with Hive Preacher Olaf. The reports have been interesting, at the very least. In fact Marshal Mat Dylon is to be meeting with us shortly," said Corvin.
