Ashton and the rest of the crew entered the Tower, the central hub of their Ghosts. They made their way to the conference room, where they were greeted by the other members of the organisation.
Ashton sat at the head of the table, and the rest of the crew sat around him. They all looked at each other in silence for a few moments, each lost in their thoughts.
Ince everyone settled down, Ashton walked everyone through what had happened on Planet Verdantia and the Deacon. The only silver lining was Ashton befriending the Xylopians, as the mining right of Neoradium would ensure the Ghosts never ran out of funds.
Finally, Otiga said, "So, the Deacon is dead?"
Ashton nodded. "Yes. We were able to take him down, but it seems the Cult was one step ahead of us and had planted some sort of creature inside their followers, which gets triggered and kills the host once they get weakened enough."
