"Think nothing of it, Liuetentant. Vardia considers our alliance of the utmost importance. it's only fair we make sure that we aren't the cause for any problems, is it not? anyway, I think it might be time we organised a decent place for you to stay. i take it you haven't truely had time to rest since the trip to Berunai" said Aragren. it wasn't long until they came to a hault, Aragren looking towards Chardossk. "One moment. i'll be right back". and with that, he left the vehicle, Jack and his family following. he handed them the key and led them up to the floor below the top floor. "Just below the penthouse suite. Serephir decided it might be a good idea to have you guys within easy reach if trouble did somehow manage to get to you. there are defense systems in here that you couldn't even to begin to imagine existed. you should be perfectly safe" said Aragren with a smile. Ravar nodded thankfully, before unlocking the door and stepping in. the room was a penthouse suite in itself. a large, golden marble floored room with rich maroon walls, a crystal chandelier hanging from the cieling. and this was just the entrance to the suite. Jack's eyes almost fell out of his head, similar stunned reactions coming from Ravar and Illira. "We can't let him pay for this....we..." started Ravar as Aragren cut him off, chuckling. "Even if you wanted to try and stop him, it won't happen. I know him personally, hell, i consider him like an older brother, and, if there's one thing Serephir's known for, it's that he won't take no for an answer. there's no point arguing with him. you'd be wasting your breath. Even his majesty Aleron himself hasn't managed to succeed in that regard" he said with a smirk. defeated, Ravar fell silent. "Anyway. your cases should be around that corner, by the dining table. I'd love to hang around and help you settle in, but, as you can probably guess, i've got work to do. if i finish off early today i'll check in and see how you're doing" said Aragren, turning to leave. "What about Serephir?" asked Jack. Aragren stopped, and looked over his shoulder. "According to the message i recieved before you landed, he was preparing to leave immediately for Trandosha and Geonosis. you heard his conversation better than i did. i'm sure you can imagine the kind of responsibility his position demands". Jack nodded. "Anyway, i'll see you guys tonight provided i'm free. the suite's already stocked up with everything you might need. you shouldn't need to leave much. it's up to you, but i wouldn't advise it if you could help it. if it gets claustrophobic in here and you want to go out, give me a ring. my number's on the dining table. at least i can make sure there's nobody watching you that way". and with that, he left, returning to the car. in a matter of minutes, he climbed the car again, and closed the door behind him, the driver taking him and Chardossk elsewhere. "So, Chardossk. care to expand a bit on the TGDA? beyond the official stuff, i mean. Our information on your faction is rather little. more information would make it easier for us to operate, do business, have set coordinates for our ships' computers, you know, stuff that we'll need to work more efficiently"...
Serephir walked into the enormous bridge of the flagship. he watched the 3d projector on a large table in the middle of the Captain's deck of the Bridge, observing the operations going on around the flagship. the fleet was almost ready to leave. the automated shipyards had repaired the damage done to the Executioner in record time, and, as a minor improvement, boosted the shields' power and added a powerful magnetic force field generator to help improve the ships' defenses against various electrically-based weapons. it'd do until the Ministry of Science's Military Technology department could come up with something more decent to hold off weapons of the type used by the Koult, and others of similar power. thus far, no problem had been faced regarding defenses against Imperial Weaponry, but that was likely due to Vardia using it as a standard upon which to construct their own weaponry, as they were by far the biggest threat currently, with their size posing a major problem. in several cases, Vardia had sent agents into the technological black market of various advanced planets to attempt to get as much combat data on Imperial weaponry as possible, including blueprints for several weapons, among which were weapons stolen by various dealers and sold off. the resulting blueprints had aided Vardian Military Science considerably, and now, chances were Vardia's agents would start hunting for other kinds of weaponry...
Ridley left the Bridge of the Vanguard, walking towards the marines who he had left to wait just outside the top floor entrance to the Bridge. "Well, we have an agent waiting for you at Zelinar to show you around. we've booked a number of rooms in one of the military owned hotels on the planet, usually reserved for soldiers who request a vacation on Zelinar. fairly high class, from my experience. you should have anywhere between three days and a week there. if we ever find ourselves crosing paths again, here's a number to contact me by. if you ever visit Vardia again after this, i'll be happy to help you out" said Ridley as he handed a small black card to Crowley, his name and a number ingraved into it in gold with the Vardian Star Force's logo at the top. he began to walk towards an elevator, which would take them to the hanger, where a small transport craft awaited...
Sergeant Furell walked towards the Prison Craft carrying the three criminals captured by Serephir and co earlier. she was one of the soldiers serving in the VAMCEB's special prison watch, the Guardians. her objective now was to escort former Vice Admiral Mikhail Remaro, his son, Rick Remaro, and Lord Markus Tirante of the former Sardanian Empire. the black trenchcoats and upwards facing golden crescent arching around the VAMCEB logo on her hat was a clear sign of her position in the Guardians' ranks. as she reached the craft she recieved a couple of salutes from a couple of Vardian soldiers guarding the entrance. she walked on board, heading for the holding room at the back of the ship, to check the prisoners...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
