Description A picture I wanted to do for after an event occurred in the game via someone's roll. That and the story bit I had thought up was too good to pass up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isaac Marshall walked into the Operations Command Center of his PMC station alongside his secretary Janet, bringing with them a trolley of coffee, water, juice and food for everyone inside.
"Morning all, refreshments for everyone."
Most of the staff cheerfully made their way over to grab what they desired, morale was good at the moment. Word came back from their fleet over Almian that they managed to fight off a big Azen Imperial Navy fleet alongside a conglomerate of other fleets. Combine that with the previous wins and deals, Checkmate Solutions was doing pretty well.

Marshall sipped his coffee, having finished sending off letters of condolences and personal items back to next of kin for the people lost, as well as seeing the newest Destroyer, the 'Claymore', take it's maiden flight. He now watched over the OpCom center with content
"Sir..." Janet spoke. "There's a transmission being broadcasted on all open channels."
"Let's hear it then." Marshall replied

Janet swiped at her hand held tablet to access the comms before voices in loud unison blared:
"FROM THE CHAINS OF CORPORATISM, FROM THE SHACKLES OF OPPRESSION, FROM THE ASHES OF RENEWAL, WE RISE!"
The word 'RISE' stayed there while displaying the banner for the United Spacers Liberation Front.

The room slow turned to look at Marshall.
"Oh good... the weeds have returned." He slowly drinks from his mug. "Janet, bring up Sector 5's map and cross reference it with live radar pings and comm updates, please."
The map was brought up on the Holo Table. Slowly, but surely, mines across the sector turned orange with the USLF banner.
"Looks like the concentration of uprisings is happening in the East." Queen of the Fleet, Emma Wilkonson spoke. "With two above our HQ."
"And they've taken Sikarain Belt... again." Queen of the Armoury, Fred MacCallum noted. "And they've taken that same Mine when they first appeared... oh hey... they've taken over Olfkum, right next to the LTC! That must suck for them! Hah!"
"The bounty board updated. The Corporations are offering a lot of money for these to be put down and the mines returned." Janet responded.

Marshall drinks again before talking.
"MacCallum, ensure the Armoury is right to go. Wilkonson, contact Knight Captains Maloy and Belkov. Let them know they've got new co-ordinates and orders."
Both nod before heading off as Marshall clicks the intercom.
"Attention all hands, this is Black King speaking. The alert level is being raised to Orange. All combat personal: be prepared to deploy at a moments notice. Business just got good."
