The Marines of the SMS Emmerich stood on standby, as their commander led them through the harrowed halls of the Governor's villa. Not long ago, word had come over the wire for the arrest of Arnulf von Thiersee and his wife Kahwihta, as well as the Colonel in charge of the local Colonial Expeditionary Forces.
The order had come from the Kaiser himself, and because of this, these brave men would drag Arnulf back to Kufstein even if they had to fight against an army to do so. Luckily for them, Colonel Bartolde Von Tettingen was so ashamed about what had happened in Berenwalde that he handed himself over into the Marines' custody without incident. His last orders to his troops was to assist the Marines in their efforts to arrest the Colonial Governor.Β
