"My Father, no, The Father of Fathers" Augustus said to The Council, full of Protogens, some hundreds if not thousands of years older than him, the senators look at him with judging LED eyes, but Augustus did not falter "Generalis Maximus Caesar IV, was murdered, right there on the marble podiums where some of you sit." Augustus points to the podiums, a spot stained with dried blood and coolant "He was murdered by fellow members of the council, some of them he considered friends. My Father helped The Republic, he didn't do it just for himself, no, he did it for the people, Protogens from all classes, he helped build roads, temples, bakeries, hospitals, I remember when I was but a pup, swaddling in his toga as he had a triumph after defeating the barbaric invaders!" Augustus took a breath, recovering himself from his rant "And he was killed for it, I remember some of you here saying he was a hero, that you promised to help him like he helped you, yet here you all are, sitting around like old, senile, men." Augustus said, gesturing to the entire council, even the younger senators "That is why regardless of permission, I declare myself Imperatoris Militaris, and that this council is dissolved until further notice, until I find who killed My Father and punish them accordingly!" Augustus snapped and soldiers entered through the doors and windows of The Senate House, as they entered, Augustus sat down on a curule chair, the other being occupied by his twin brother, Romulus IX
