Jaune Radec

Chapter 25

As Winter and Clover enter the interrogation room and are met with Ironwood.

Winter: General James Ironwood.

Ironwood: It's just James Ironwood now, the Atlas Council revoked my position as General of the Atlas Army.

Winter: I see.

Ironwood: And who might you be?

Winter: Colonel Winter Schnee.

Ironwood: Ah Winter, I see the Helghast Army is treating you well?

Winter: Indeed they have, but enough pleasantries. I wish to know what you can offer us, due to your position in the Atlas Army. My superiors won't trust you at first. So, what can you give us?

Ironwood: All the information about what the Council and Jacques has planned.

As Ironwood showed Winter a USB.

Ironwood: These are all the locations and plans that both the Council and Jacques have devised.

As Winter looks at the USB.

Winter: I'll have my men look into this. But I have a question for you Ironwood. Are the soldiers you have capable of being loyal to the Helghast cause?

Ironwood: Yes they are, these are the soldiers that chose to fight for the right cause. They do not wish to die in a pointless war because of the Council's greed.

Winter: I can take a guess and say that Harriet didn't join?

Ironwood: No, she's staying with Atlas till the end.

Winter: A shame, all of the Ace Ops are here and she is the only one missing. I guess blind loyalty will only end up with you dead on the ground.

Ironwood: Indeed, so what do you plan to do with us?

Winter: I'll speak with General Cobar and have all your men be inducted to the Wolf Brigade as for you we will decide to put your skills by assigning you to either my Mother's PMC Unit or the Helghast Spec Ops.

Ironwood: I see, thank you Winter. I'll make sure we serve the Helghast Army with pride and honour.

Winter: I know you will.

As Winter suddenly gets a call as she is speaking to the caller.

Winter: Yes. It's done. I already made preparations. Understood.

Ironwood: Who was that?

Winter: That was Supreme Leader Radec. He was informed about your proposal Ironwood and wishes to meet you. A Dropship will arrive and you will be escorted to his Cruiser.

Ironwood: And you?

Winter: With the info you gave me, we'll work in flushing out Jacques forces.

Ironwood nods as Winter had her men escort Ironwood to the Dropship. Once he reaches the Dropship, he is met with a Helghast Officer as they were transported to the Helghast ARC Cruiser.

Once they arrived, Ironwood was escorted to the Bridge of the Cruiser where he comes face to face with Radec.

Radec: General-Wait no, James Ironwood. It was a surprise to see you here.

Ironwood: Supreme Leader Radec, I take it Winter has told you everything?

Radec: Actually Clover informed me of your situation. The Wolf Brigade are already bringing in your men to their ranks as for you, that will still be discussed. Now on to business.

As Radec gestures Ironwood to looks at the windows of the Bridge as they are nearing Remnant Space as Ironwood sees the structure.

Ironwood: What is that?
