---Nolan---
A few things occur to Nolan as he watches the exchanges between the boys and the Emperor with his high command. Some of the members of the high command are VERY personable with the boys. There is no way … there isn't something more to that. Something they are not saying in the open. With that revelation, mixed with the fact that Joseph the second sent him here and this is the first time he is meeting them? He isn't the only one to suspect some deeper connection between the Brand boys and the Emperor along with Viego and Underhill.
For the life of him, Nolan can't imagine what it could be. Are they related to the boys somehow? Are the boys powers directly linked to these men? God knows what's possible with Psionics … or …even magic. He had only dipped a toe into it himself. Was their some magic connection that the Leaders of the Coalition were dabbling with? Where they hiding it somehow?
Would that explain why Joseph was so interested in them? Was that why the Emperor had kept Joseph at a distance considering this was apparently his first time meeting the boys?
There was something here for sure. And now he was deeply involved in it. In that moment Nolan knew had to tread Veeeery carefully or this involvement could easily prove fatal.
---Everyone---

With that the Emperor gestured for everyone to follow. "Well, you boys have already had breakfast, but we have some cake, snacks and drinks set up in the Officers quarters. We can discuss discuss your promotions to Corporals as well as your first assignments. Welcome to the Coalition Army boys. I have no doubt you will all do great things for your country."
Everyone started to move inside toward a spot to relax, eat and drink.
