Former Primarch Anjuren Kahn is turning up the heat on Progen officials, demanding that more be done to free captured Centuriata Amah. Speaking from his private base on Primus in an exclusive interview with Net-7 editor Heracles Gravel, Kahn again insisted that Amah’s return be given higher priority.

"A valuable warrior is being held hostage and (Sabine leader) Vinda is doing nothing about it," Kahn asserted bluntly. "All other priorities in Progen society should be put on hold until Amah is rescued.

"Not only have we abandoned Amah to her captors, but we are doing nothing to stop them from doing it again! Who will these bugs kidnap next? Var? Vinda herself? Is that what it will take to spur us into action?"

Kahn explained his reasoning in forceful terms, and reiterated the offer to end his self-exile and reassume control as Primarch.

"I have reliable information from secret sources who tell me the aliens have no intention of withdrawing from our galaxy, and they will only be removed by force. We should begin by issuing a stern warning to the aliens that Amah must be treated well, or there will be dire consequences. And then we must be willing to apply those consequences if need be.

"There are moral obligations that go above and beyond the letter of the law, and this is one of those cases. It is a warrior's sacred duty to defend fellow Centuriata, and abandoning Amah now would bankrupt Progen ethics to the point that our law would no longer be anything but an abstraction.

"If a leader is needed to address this issue, then I humbly offer to return and assist however I can to secure Amah's safe return. Every day that Amah spends in captivity, all of Progen society is further disgraced. Unfortunately, this is what happens when the Sabine are allowed to run our society."
