“I told you he’d remember me,” Thomas said. Roux ignored him as she piloted the ship toward the designated docking bay. The NRS Dawn’s Grip was the largest ship she had ever seen in her entire life, and every gun and weapon system she passed by automatically tracked her ship, making it very clear that she should not stray from the projected course.

They landed and quickly lowered the ramp. Thomas exited first, followed closely by the others. The team was met by Admiral Aidmen Majex himself and behind him was a platoon of Nightfang, which was standard procedure for the docking of non-fleet vessels. Majex was of average height and a sturdy build, but his hair was a light gray, betraying his age. He was very clean cut and looked like he was born holding himself in a naturally professional manner. He had an aura of command about him that was rivaled only by the Dominar himself.

“Hello, Admiral, it’s good to see you again,” Thomas said. Majex offered a hand and they exchanged a firm handshake while Majex looked over the team accompanying his former pupil.

“It’s good to see you too, Thomas, a shame it isn’t under better circumstances. Now, won’t you tell me what this is all about?” Majex asked firmly.

“Do you have a room with a projection table?” Thomas asked.

“Follow me.” Majex turned, his white cape flowing behind him. They traveled down a nearby corridor to a tram pick-up. The tram cars took them from the hangar deep into the heart of the vessel, passing through massive bays full of spacers hard at work. It took a lot of maintenance, both autonomous and manual, to keep a ship of such a size up and running smoothly. Majex’s personal guard never took their eyes off Thomas’s companions. The cars stopped, and they disembarked just outside the bridge. As they entered the crew was rather startled by the curious new characters aboard but remained silent. Majex pointed Thomas toward a holographic projector on the ceiling that could be used.

“Karr, go ahead and plug in.” Karr extended a thin cable from his vambrace and connected to the port. With the push of a few buttons he began to project his HUD images of the Rae for the Admiral and the crew to see, while Thomas explained it all. It took about an hour to describe the situation. Majex had to take a seat but did so in an incredibly dignified manner.

“Tavington… damn that man,” Majex whispered to himself. “And you think the Rae fleet will meet us here, now?” Majex asked Thomas, for all to hear.

“Sir, multiple warp distortions on scope, near X two zero zero zero two one, Y three two—”

“I’m not getting any younger, lad, just plot the points on the display” Majex interrupted. The radar officer plotted the points on the three-dimensional strategic display map as told. In the distance, a massive Coalition fleet exited warp. “Sir, their weapons are all hot!” The radar officer said quickly.

“Hail them, immediately!” Majex called to the communications officer.
