Victory...
The reports come in from all sides.
"The gates are secure!"
"We've got the prisoners here, safe and sound. We're bringing them back to join the rebels now."
"The munitions factory is clear of Gigas troops!"
There is, of course, one distinct exception.
As news of the various successes across the city trickle in, the Gigan representative's expression becomes one of unrestrained rage.
"You don't know what you're doing, you complete fools. You listen to me - stamp out these wretched mages or you'll live to regret it."
But there is only so much she can say with her support in shambles. Turning on her heel with an icy scowl, Valeria storms out of the room. The remainder of the Gigan troops are escorted out of the city within the next 48 hours.
Before the celebrations can become too much extravagant, however, the command center quietly relays news of what had occurred in the tunnels to all the outside forces that had come on Sanctuary's behalf. While the natives of the city are certainly overjoyed, an air of unease descends over their saviors...
The next day, General Ironborn convenes a public mission debriefing. At his side stand the members of Team Evolution, Rory Donnachaidh and Ryuuko Nishimura. All three look equally somber.
"People of Union, Caldera, Citadel, Refuge, and Sanctuary... We're happy to say that we've successfully driven Gigas out of the city. After forty years of occupation, Sanctuary is finally free." ...A pause as scattered cheering breaks out across the square. "But as you all know by now, a troubling new situation has come to light. One which has caught us unaware. After discussion, we have determined that we cannot make a decision until we have spoken with the Council of Magi and the ruling parties of every city involved in this effort. We will continue to station our men here until such time as we can reach a decision.
"That said, we declare our primary mission over. You are all free to return home. We couldn't have done it without you."
They step back now, though they remain on the scene in case there are any questions. It seems to be a vaguely unsatisfactory end to a great ordeal...
