"I shall have the report of the planet done when I have the troops taken to the planet. Just to conserve resources of course," he said as he continued to write notes in his journals. He then leaned back into his chair with a smile on his face, "As for my ship...Has it ever not been in working order Admiral?" @TechCaptain "Please notify me when you are ready to have this meeting, Lord General," Mathius said as he continued to listen to everyone.
Lord General mentions a time to Captain Mathius that is shortly after meeting they are in. " That is the beginning time but we start as soon as all key sections have represented themselves. Tavel, I want you there so you can chose the politically savy for your scouting."
"Indeed, though you may call me Saul if you wish. We will be working closely together for the forseeable future, so I think it best we get to know one another as quickly as possible" shaking the Mathius's hand. "More to the point, please extend an invitation to Admiral Tockman to attend me in the Observation Galleria at 2000hrs, if he is not indisposed of course. I am hosting a cocktail party for the military component of this expedition. A small celebration before we dive into unknown. All senior officers and their aides and senior NCOs are invited to attended. Their shall be refreshment and libations aplenty!" "Please RSVP as soon as possible." Saul added smiling. "And also impress upon the Admiral that I will request a private meeting with his senior officers and staff, in order to discuss key details" ~*~ "Ah well met Staff Sargent" Saul exclaimed, standing to meet the man, nodding in reply to the salute. "Please extend my gratitude to General Diamon, and request he attends me in the Observation Galleria at 2000hrs. The PDF command and his officer and senior staff are encouraged to attend. The same applies to the Guard. Senior NCO as well" Saul added smiling. "As for the General's tastes, I will respect them fully, though I ask that he let my staff know his particular beverages of choice and I will have them available at our next engagement" Saul concluded. He turned away and followed behind Magos-Artisan Zeth as he departed. ++As you will, my Lord Magos. I will only address those issues that strictly pertain to our immediate concerns++ Saul canted. ++I apologize that I tend to take the offences of the Eccesiarchy far to personally++[/user]
@Mechiaus "Of course Saul. I shall inform the Admiral as soon as he becomes available. I shall also move some things around on my schedule to ensure I am able to attend this celebration," he said as he made some notes in his journal. @PorOborosCain Mathius then handed a message to one of the Admiral's crew to give to him. The message had all the Mechanicus Executor Saul spoke of and wished to inform the Admiral of.
The Staff Sergeant dropped his salute and returned to the Lord General with the response. Then he got assigned to arranging all the items needed for the party with his mechanicus counterpart. Lord General, himself, leads the way to the conference room given over to the guard. As he went down the halls, he was talking numbers and who will lead what.
@PorOborosCain @Colapse Mathius then stood from the table after closing his journal and placing it back in his coat. He turned to Jannika, "Please keep me up to date on your trip to Ven I and your finds with the Mechanius members. I am all to eager to hear what is found there." He then turned to the Admiral, "As always Admiral it has been a -pleasure-. For now I must go to plan with the Guard to ensure everything goes smoothly." He nodded to both of them before walking out of the room with his hands behind his back. @TechCaptain Mathius quickly caught up to the Lord General, "Lord General. Are you wishing to conduct this mission now? If so I will be need to call a few of my officers and NCOs for this."
"Captain Jannika, after this meeting I will send a representative to you for the guardsmen contingent to guard the ground crews." He turned towards Mathius. " Yes Captain and you time to call your guys. Mine should just be getting there." He was listing the needs of the forces in his head.
@matt23 @PorOborosCain @TechCaptain "Understood Admiral, you'll have the report on your desk in the morning," Jannika replied, "And sure thing Matty, if some shit occurs, I'll be sure to ring you!" "Finally, Lord General, feel free to send your representative to my ship and you can send the regiment while you are at it as well, send me someone reliable if you can because despite the looks, I actually do care quite a lot about discipline," she warned half-jokingly before turning on her heels and going out of the room, her cadre of soldiers encircling her and following her out in a practiced-like routine. Once she was out, Jannika made her way to the hangar bays and quickly boarded a shuttle that transported her back to her own ship, the Overlord class Cruiser "Durandal". "Would be cool if Serious was here, would save me a lot of effort in dealing with all this banana politics bullcrap...."
As the pair left the meeting room, the Assistant lead Wing-Captain Durham. "Please only speak when directly addressed and try not to take the Admiral's word too personally. It's not every day he chooses to speak with just any fly jockey. My name is Second Lieutenant Iona Nova, it's nice to meet you. I read your file. This won't be the first time the you and Admiral had met, most impressive commendations." Before Alexie thought over Captain Webber's words. He had proven his abilities to the Admiral numerous time and was a dependable Captain to those who served him. It was his sumgness that rubbed Alexie Tockman the wrong way. 'He's young and with healthy aspirations, but I hope that arrogance doesn't get the better of him... Emperor knows it did for me. I wish I could drink.' The admiral thought as he waited for the lift with his second aid. Also a young officer but with red frizzy hair, tied up under her cap. Now @EvicusDasan1 Both Durhan and Iona joins the Admiral in the lift. "You have some nerve showing up late in front of the whole assembly. Don't bother with excuses, I care not what you occupy your free time. I should have you flogged and confined to the hold, but now is not the time for such pleasantries. I have need of you beyond the flotilla. You will be stationed with Captain Oswald, a fire squad will be provided. Don't worry, I won't part you from your steed, The 'Crow'. I want you to keep an eye out there. Wild beasts and grounders, The Guard can deal with, but void combat is our strength. Watch out for Predators, Pirates, and other such scum. ALSO, find out what you can about this Freeblade ah... His name was..." "Gale Orion, Admiral" Iona inserts. "Thank you, yes 'Sir' Orion. He is under contract to defend the colony efforts, thanks in part to Captain Jannika Oswald. However I would know more of him before I go placing my trust in a feudal world greenhorn. Are we understood Wing-Captain Apker?" Alexie finished just in time for the lift to reach the Medical ward. He continued on his path, long strides as if pressed for time. ~Medical bay~ The Chief Ship Surgeon was there to great the Admiral and company. "Right on time Lord, please take a seat and we can begin. Also, a message was just delivered from Captain Von Webber. Would you like take a look before I started?" The Surgeon asked. "If it's not those scans or a matter of dire urgency, it can wait. Give it to one of the help's hands and let's get this over with. I have a fleet to keep running!" Alexie says irritatedly. These weekly check ups were a great source of displeasure for the Admiral. It forced him to admit his age and he was almost assured to Learn the latest part of him that required more medication or damned procedure. Used to be a Juvination treatment would do the trick, now Alexie didn't have that luxury. "Lieutenant Iona, remind me to schedule a meeting with Prefect Darius later. Wing Captain Apker, you are dismissed. Go knowing the eyes of the Imperium are upon us! Surgeon Quill, you may begin." "Right away Lord. Please hold still and try not to blink." -- The Admiral will be indisposed for the time being-- [edited]
Durhan just saluted with a smile on his face. Shooting a glance towards Iona that said 'I prefer your company' Perhaps later he could have a drink with Iona, she seemed pleasant and that was quite the trait in the Navy. Durhan knew his buddy would have Crow ready at any moment, it was now the time to be aquainted with this Freeblade. "What a life." Apker said aloud with a small amount of jealousy.
