The Commodore walked out to the main room of his metal fortress, returning from the outer layers of the complex to deal with trivial guardsmen issues. He entered his war room, and looked upon a pony, waiting for The Commodore.
"I've heard from many people about you, what power and influence you posses. I hope you live up to their words."

Tome sat in the war room, sitting perfectly still in a chair by the large table. Unnervingly still. He hardly seemed to so much as blink. After a moment, he turned his head towards the Diamond Dog dictator. The motion was oddly disconnected, as though his mind was elsewhere. The moment passed, though, and his eyes focused on Claw's face.
"Their words and more. Few know of my true abilities."
He stood and turned the rest of his emaciated body to Claw, bowing deeply as he did.
"I wish to seek employment."

"And employment you shall have!"
The commodore said proudly, laughing menacingly as he approached the table. He placed his massive paws on the table as he began to speak.
"I've heard of what people say you can do, I want to hear it from the horses mouth. So, if you could."

Tome chuckled in the back of his throat, a rather chilling sound, and he nodded.
"As you wish, sir. I will, however, require something to...demonstrate my power. I understand you are a...trader of certain commodities? One of them should do nicely."

"Right." Crimson looked back at the door. "Guard! Bring me a welp!" The guard saluted and left the room, and upon returning he had brought with him a foal. "Good, show me what you got."

Tome regarded the foal for a moment. She was a young pegasus filly, purple with a red mane. She huddled down, her body covered in welts from the lashes of a slaver's cruel whip. With every movement around her, she flinched. Quite a wretched existence, and one that should not be borne. I will give to you a gift, little one...the gift of oblivion.
He lifted his head to the air, his horn glowing with a sickly grey glow. He brought it down, pointed at the filly, and released a blast of scouring wind. It howled as it ripped through the air, blasting into the filly, and tore her flesh from her bone.

"Good to see such ruthlessness for a change! You're deffinetly what I'm looking for." The Commodore said proudly as he looked to the guards to take away what's left of the foal.
"What else are you capable of, hmm?"

Tome sat back down and turned his head away from the Commodore. He felt nothing after what he had done, nothing more than a slight irritation that the Diamond Dog still pestered him. Of course, what the fool needed was an adviser and puppetmaster, not living artillery. That, he already had.
"I am intelligent and highly versed in matters such as logistics and strategy, and I have informants placed throughout Equestria, and other lands as well. I suspect that this information and thinking will prove more useful to your endeavours than yet another living weapon."

"Quite so." The Commodore pondered for a moment. Tome was utterly perfect for his plans. "Consider yourself hired, you shall have whatever you desire after the invasion. Anything will and shall be granted after that."

Tome nodded. The Commodore was one who would do anything to obtain his goals, regardless of who it might have hurt, and his goals were all of worldly things. Such minds simply could not comprehend the idea that goals of a much more lofty manner might even exist. Good. It made him all the easier to manipulate.
"There is one matter I would wish to discuss, as my first service to you."
