Endgames

'''All the pieces are in place for Vocus and the Remnant. All that is left is the final battle...but who is moving behind the curtains?'''

Background
Written by SDM, Endgames takes place before the climatic battle between ERAC and the Remnant in the Lunar Cell. It is from the perspective of Vocus, then Valis Ail.

Synopsis
The solo opens with Vocus explaining to the statue of Executor the Remnant's success in making ERAC believe they have all they need to defeat the Remnant. As the statue rattles off commands for defensive formations, Vocus reflects on how he had reached this point, from The Founder Valis Ail retreating, to the loss of the Shadow Factory and the Undying Refinery up to now, and how it was all thanks to Executor's willingness to remain with them. Yet when Vocus brings up the desire to leave a guard for Executor, the statue dismisses such needs, stating that he will has other business to attend to and has confidence in Vocus's men. Vocus in turn promises success, and as he leaves, two words bounce around in his head: "What curse...?"

The solo then shifts to an unknown perspective in the shadows as it watches Vocus stare at nothing, then leave the room. The shadow muses about how he won't need to play the false prophet nor stay any longer, how the world had bought time for him to build the Clan's greatest accomplishment, and how the Anathemites will have laid ruin to many other worlds due to their presence instead of saving them. The shadow considers how he'd thank them as a lesser being, but knows how all bows before the supreme Judge, revealing that Valis Ail had been acting as Executor all this time.

Even so, Valis did not lie to Vocus, as there was one last piece for him to put in place...
