Slowly pushing up from the table, the Saiyan commander rose from where he'd been seated, engaged in a challenging battle of wits and tactics, a chess match with Captain Chill, the leader of the unit of changeling troops they had assembled to further their goals. "I'll accompany you Commander." Replied the changeling, also rising from the board, before placing a large cardboard box over the game, to show that there was a match in progress and to leave it undisturbed.

In moments, they'd reached the door, the Changeling Captain standing at his Commander's right hand, and slightly behind, as Ryder gave the nod to the two guards standing at the door to unbar and open it, in order to allow the individual outside in the cold to speak with them, and, if he proved friendly, find shelter from the cold. "Welcome friend." Spoke the Saiyan as the door began to creak open.

Hachi had told him that all demons had an inner darkness, one that none would ever suppress, but Ryder refused to believe that. Everyone had good in them, with which to fight the darkness. So what if demons had less light and more shadow, they also had the potential to be good, he knew it in his heart. "I am Commander Ryder."

Suddenly he smiled and looked to the man, he had the goodie goodie glow about him. “Well I guess I should introduce myself as the wannabe recruit, once I am more powerful, I can act as a surprise unit in combat… though as I gain more power there is a chance I may go berserk…” he said as he finished warming up.

Those words finished, the Saiyan reached down into a bin, grasping a laminated sheet of paper and sliding it over to the space infront of the seat he'd instructed Akuma to take. "On that you will see all of our core laws, rules of living that separate us from the other groups with desires for Icer. While they desecrate the land and it's people's, we respect all, and honor those who depend on us." Should Akuma read the list he would see the simple basics, be peaceful, treat people as equals, etc etc.

Pausing a moment, he turned, scanning the room for a soldier, to find that the only ones were himself, Captain Chill, and two of the guards on the door. "Hey guys, I need one of you to go grab Hachi, make this official. Make sure he brings a contract with him a swell." Once the guard left, Ryder flashed a casual smile Akuma's way. "Only a few minutes, and everything will be in order."

“This place used to be a medical facility, downstairs holds a number of rooms, on my side is the sanitarium, so the style of room you requested will be up by days end, outfitted with built in lights, the solitary confinement room… the healer is downstairs too, as long as you’re not dead, you’ll be perfectly fine… save for lost limbs” Hachi explained as he stepped in front of the gravity chamber “ in here things are meant to endure, where fighting all out is not only encouraged but required”

When the doors opened, it would show just how large the gravity room was, it was bigger than most people’s homes, more than enough room for mid and long range combat, ceilings many stories tall, and everything around made of industrial metal save for the floor, which was made of solid ice that was scored deeply for traction. The celling was made up of many panes of glass with heavy beams of metal and track lighting, either of them letting a lot of light for battles. Sitting in the corner beside the gravity machine was a set of weights that Ryder often used.

Eventually, Hachi had explained the situation, but that didn't make it any easier on the young man. He understood why the demon had needed to die, but that didn't make it any easier. A commander had to remove the weeds, but it wasn't easy, as Ryder's nature lent himself to growing attached to his men. "Make sure you don't kill this one alright Hachi!" He yelled out teasingly, curious how the likely demon would respond to the call.

As soon as the words escaped the daemon’s lips, the gravity kicked on with all its weight coming down at once, causing Hachi’s legs to bow out for a second before he slid into his fighting stance. The demon physiology allowed both Akuma and Hachi to withstand heavier gravity than most other races, but the body needed moments to adapt since they did not constantly suffer under such heavy gravity, at least that’s how Hachi’s body reacted to the machine.
