Murph hated going to Central Command for anything, let alone to make the request he's making today.
Located in Charleston, WV, Central Command was where the Captain Generals' of the Conservative Army communicated nationwide. They all meet several times a month, usually by telecom but to make this request he had to be at the Command Table in person.
Walking into the old Capitol building, he felt his phone vibrate. 'All Set' texted CGB with an attached naked photo of Morgan. He smiled looking at her body, she was truly worth all the trouble of this shit. They had heard a lot of chatter about an attack on the Center today. With him being across the state, he had to rely on CGB to protect her.
As much as he hated CGB most of the time, even he was noticing how soft Morgan was making him. He had never treated a slave like he treats her, he hasn't hurt her or even really been mean to her, which was odd for him.
Murph walked past the troops standing outside the Blue Room, saluting them. The Blue Room had a secure connection to all 29 other states under Conservative leadership. It was the only place a request under Rule 23 could be made. CGB's approval of her was just half the battle. Now he had to make a request to his comrades and explain why a half-breed should be branded, when they have almost 70 other white slaves.
The Blue Room had dozens of screens showing different images across the wall. Some had Captain Generals' already sitting at them, talking to each other. While others were of empty chairs, with just their name and the state they represented on the screen. Murph hit a button on the table that sent a flashing red light to each monitor, letting them know he had arrived. Within moments, all 58 screens were filled with men staring back at him, two CG's for each state.
"Commanders, thank you for meeting with me on such short notice," Murph said saluting. "I've called this Command Table to request an exception under Rule 23. I have both sealed letters of confidence from my Lead Captain Smyth and my equal Captain General Barberi."
Murmuring amongst themselves, Murph heard CG Kensington of Louisiana say, "Well if Barberi signed on then it must be fine."
"Who is this for and what kind of exception are you requesting CG Murphy," asked CG Wagner of Mississippi.
"I am looking for an exception to brand a slave for private use with CG Barberi. The slave is a half-breed, half Irish and half African." Murph waited as the voices openly spoke to each other.
"A branding exception for a half-breed? You don't have any other white slaves for use?" asked CG Hall of Montana.
"We have 72 slaves in total, with 68 of them being white. Of those 68, 27 are with child or recovering and the other 38 are used by soldiers and Officers regularly. This slave, although a half-breed, is healthy and young. She could easily give us multiple children," Murph said putting the letters into a slot on the wall. They would be opened to verify authenticity.
"How are you certain of her fertility? Has she been tested yet? Has she been exposed to the E-12 Virus?" asked CG Wagner. Murph knew he would give him a hard time, he always fucking did.
"She is immune to the virus having come directly from the East. I'd be willing to have her fertility tested if that would satisfy you," Murph said curtly. More murmuring could be heard from the men. Murph stood still, trying to not show his emotions. If they didn't approve the branding, she would be open for use by other soldiers and Officers down at the cabins.
"I will demand one qualifier before approval. She must be tested for her fertility by Dr. Porter. He can be on your compound by tomorrow. If he advises that she is fertile, than I will not hold up your request," said CG Wagner.
"I can accept that demand," replied Murph.
"All right, all Commanders are called to a vote on this exception. This exception can be solidified by branding once confirmation of fertility has been made. Anyone against the approval of this exception?"
Murph let out a small breath as he heard silence. "Exception request for private use is approved pending confirmation. We can telecom with you and CGB after Dr. Porter has done the examination on your slave," said CG Kensington.
"Aye, thank you for your time brothers," Murph said saluting. As all the screens signed off, he felt a huge weight lift from his shoulders. Murph walked out from the Blue Room and felt his phone vibrate again. Not a second later he heard the intercom click on.
'Attention Captain General Murphy, there has been an attack on your compound. Transport is waiting outside, Sir.'
Murph's mind went dark as he ran to the door. They actually did it. They fucking attacked while he was away. Those fucking pussies. Jumping into the waiting sedan, he took out his phone.
One missed call from CGB.
Calling him back, Murph looked outside the window impatiently. He watched the scenery fly by as a soldier drove him close to 110mph, back to their compound.
"Red these fucking fag*ots set off a bomb at the grain silos. They got seven of ours already," CGB yelled in anger.
"How bad is the damage?"
"The grain barn is on fire but it hasn't spread past that. We need to retaliate against these fucks. They are getting ballsy now that they have California's dick in their mouths." CGB said, before shouting commands to soldiers in the background.
"Did they attack the Center?" Murph asked.
"No, but don't worry I left a team to watch her. They probably faked the chatter to distract us from the barn. Fucking scum."
"I'm less than a half hour away. I'd prefer us waiting to retaliate until we go over things but if it's necessary, you have my approval," Murph replied.
"Got it, haul ass up here, I'm fixing to burn their whole motherfucking base down right about now," CGB replied. "Did those fucks approve her?" he continued, yelling into the phone as the sound of engines roared in the background.
"Conditional approval dependant on Dr. Porter's examination," Murph replied.
"She'll pass just fine, good to hear," CGB responded. "Now get the fuck over here," he shouted before disconnecting.
Murph shook his head, the United People's Party were changing tactics, playing dirtier. They had never attacked food and water so much before. Murph watched as they drove out of Charleston, the weight that had been lifted now firmly sat back down on his shoulders.

Morgan crept down the dark stairwell of an emergency fire exit, leaving the fourth floor of the Center. She felt her instincts kicking back on, taking her almost out of herself as she moved in the dark. She was hypervigilant, could feel everything from her damp hair braided over her shoulder, to the cold air against her bare stomach.
She got down to the second floor before she heard anyone. The sound of deep voices and heavy boots stopped her from moving forward. She pushed herself into a corner as the 2nd floor door opened.
