Tactical Warfare: From the Tales of my Father's past

The time of the day is perfect to conduct the operation. I hope that we will succeed with our... new cause. His thoughts were safe from the others' minds.

But in the same second the commanding officer arose from his seat and looked straight at the door. The two Stormtroopers in their new blank-polished white armor suits saluted while trying to take a similar position to the standard guard of honor procedure. The dark cabinet was suffering from a sudden illumination of white light as all lights came to life. From the outside you were able to hear the steps of many persons. Everyone in the cabinet became silent as the footsteps became louder. "Mark one, prepare", the commander ordered just before he closed his eyes for yet another second. The tall man, a once forgotten soldier of the Republic, was now a high ranking commander in the New Empire. Another minute of silence followed while the steps became louder. There were many of steps, and everyone knew it was time for the new beginning.

He swallowed, and turned his head in the once dark corner of the room knowing exactly what would happen. His red eyes were shortened to small slicing daggers by the huge amount of light in the cabinet. As if he was viewing through all soldiers, he knew that his master had to appear, and with a high hissing sound the locked door opened. The first pair of Imperial Guards entering the room were providing the honor vanguard for their master, the new master, the anvil of the dawn. The red armor was a huge difference to the room which was covered in white colors including the Stormtroopers, the commander, but not himself. He was covered in a black suit. But this black color gave him another interesting appearance due to the pale white color of his face. And I'm going through this now? Very well... how much I like these appearances. Perhaps I'm going to regret this.
He lowered his head as his view turned onto the white floor. Then he kneeled down to await his master, inside of himself he was smiling in a bitter and sarcastic way. Another pair of red troopers entered the room, then all turned each one for 90 degrees to provide an extra escort position for their master. As he was about to enter the room his left hand mentioned a gesture to his following elite guards who stopped to follow him into the cabinet. Wearing a black suit and a long deep purple robe, his white and grayish hair was just an addition to make his appearance more attuning towards others. Walking that slowly he finally entered the room. With his yellow eyes he focused each person in the room before he looked at the kneeling person. Then his eyes closed for a second just before he began to speak.

"Arise, my friend."
The kneeling man did as he was ordered.
"Today your mission will begin. You will serve my wish, you will be my voice, my friend. As my dark soldier you will represent my right hand. My mind will be yours," he said with a swallowing voice, "Guards, you are dismissed for now. Wait outside until I give new orders."
His followers saluted again and walked out of the cabinet. It was not a very huge room, but you could easily use it as a rancor cage. About 40 meters tall and 50 in width and length this room would be a perfect command room for a small Empire as well. As everyone except the red eyed man was gone, the yellow eyed did maglock the door with his hand.
"My Emperor, will everything proceed as planned?" he asked.
"Of course it will be, my friend. Soon I will investigate the upper chambers again. Luckily, only a few days are left until my organization will wipe out the others with a furious strike."
"And I shall speak of your wishes soon, my master."
"Again you are right," he spoke with a deep voice. "You will follow your orders precisely. The time of the corruption and destruction for the Republic has come to an ending. As I said, only a matter of time. My forces are awaiting my orders, as the Secret Order does as well." He did not even try to think. He knew that his master was able to know what he thought, but he was able to do so as much as others. But Emperor Palpatine was more of that with his idea to bring back the law and order to the galaxy, to rule it with a new power to bring peace to all worlds.

The red eyed man nodded slowly.
"Will you take care of my family and reward them as much as possible?" He swallowed. "And do never tell them why I did, just tell them that I joined your cause for good. Take care of them as I will bring your law to the other side."
"Your wish shall be possible, my friend. Our time has come soon, and all my supporters will become that what they deserve," Palpatine said smilingly. "It is time for you now, my friend."
Palpatine extended his hand towards the other man. "Shall your voice reach those who are enclosed. Shall your voice be the thunder of my lightening. The Secret Order is that what we are."
"Your wish is my command, master. May the Jedi breed new again after these unforgiving rulers have been vanquished. Luckily, my family will never be a part of them."
"Watch your back. We will never know how the future will develop. If I should die too soon, you will be in my place then," Palpatine mentioned and gestured to the sarcophagus in the middle of the room. "Take your place now."
The red eyed man did as he was supposed to do and walked towards the sarcophagus and lay down inside of it.
"Fare well, my friend!"
"May your Empire become the sun of the suns."
And the sarcophagus closed itself. He was laying inside of it, not knowing what would happen. Slowly his mind became interested in the 'why' and the 'how', but then a feeling of incredible tiredness overcame him.
And then he was asleep. As soon as his body was unconscious, the machines started to work and isolated himself from the past, the now and the future. He became only a matter of the galaxy that was never supposed to be found again.
