Dinner aboard the Neith

[Dave Synk]

"While the artifacts are in hands of Cerberus, no one will lose his life. Our methods are simple and efficient. Search. Discover. Extract. Disappear. No one will ever know we've even been there. Trust my knowledge, I never put someone in danger because of some relics..."

Then he took a serious look.

"Why do I fight ?"

He glared at Ellie and then continued.

"Because our lives are at risk. I knew my place wasn't in Liberty from the start. I took another challenge. Liberty casted me out. I found Jack. We went to the "unknown" Edge Nebulae. There we found the reality and the gravity of the situation. Since I've lost almost everything, I did want to make a change. A change in this world we live. So that's my purpose, to make ... a change. And because of my knowledge Cerberus evolved into a very advanced technological organization. "

" Humanity first ! And the progress of it at any cost ! "

But he again was more serious then ever...

"You need to know this... at various points in our life, we need to make some sacrifices even... very hard ones. And all from Cerberus know this very well."

Dave looked at Ellie with a very serious look.

"The Order is obsolete. Because they fought a glorious battle against a major threat, that doesn't mean they are supreme protectors. Never. They are just concerned and feared of Liberty. The fools forgot about the major threat ! *rising his tone with an amazed look on his face* They are coming again ! Why they even ignore this ? *lowering down* We found evidence all around Sirius, in Gallia, Liberty, Bretonia, Rheinland, Kusari all of the territories are attacked, slowly. And what is the Order doing at the moment ? Using their last resources against the savage Bounty Hunters, and the mindless Navy. The Order needs to change the perspective, and fight against the K'Hara and their infected allies. *and with a very relaxed tone* That's why I formed Cerberus with Jack , dear Ellie... that's why I keep fighting and struggle...."

He took a cup of Bretonian tea, drinking it very gently, and gave her a look of trust.
