Notorious scientist and metallurgic alloy pioneer.
he said, when almost as if on cue the doors at the back of the room opened, causing an interruption as the entering party made their way into the dinner.This is interesting—
rambled a thin grey-haired figure, who punctuated his sentence by adjusting his optic lenses with a bizarre mechanical replacement for an arm.We apologize for our tardiness, sir. There was a disturbance at one of our on-planet facilities. No matter, it has been resolved now. Is this the client?
Ah, Dr. J. So glad that you could join us. This is Vidious Renati, the gentleman who I was telling you about.
he alluded, referring to the new predictive neurobindings that enabled faster-than-thought reaction times in the new line of mobile suits. This, in combination with the new type of beam weaponry that Dr. J had discovered and the new bioferrous armor that Instructor H. had pioneered, was going to play an integral role in securing Sol Enterprises' firm grip on the weapons industry in this new market.This is the team of engineers who are developing the very—ah, special, yes very special indeed—the very special features of our mobile suits that you will be getting the galaxy's first taste of,
Doctor, have you seen the updated specs?
Yeessss, yes indeed. We exceed all of these specifications using the current production model by no less than 35% in the least marginal of cases. This is very agreeable, and gives us the ability to—
snapped Dr. J, causing Instructor H to glare begrudgingly at their research leader....add some flair to this special order, of course.
Arcus snapped, walking back over towards Vidious.So.
The only remaining details we have to cover is your delivery date and destination. Have you a place in mind?
he said as he turned back towards the departing Vidious. He and splayed his fingers out on the table before leaning forward onto them and rose to his feet, causing the chair to slide backwards with a soft shuffle.I suspect we'll be ready in one week's time. I'll reach out with information regarding the demo.
he alluded, before gesturing to the door with his right hand.You know, there is a storm coming.
commanded Stark.Initiate sensor recalibration and move to sustain orbit theta. Signal to surface upon confirmation.
replied the navigation officer as the fleet instantaneously acknowledged the flagship's relayed signals.Roger that. Moving to orbit theta,
...and initializing continuous calibration sequence zero niner gamma. All systems reporting nominal.
inquired Stark as he rose from the captain's char. He wanted to be certain there were no mistakes made with this operation, or the blemish on his record would forever mar what would be an otherwise flawless career. The glint of light in his eye might have been a reflection of the dawn rising over Terra, or perhaps a glimpse of his aspirations, but no… no. He was not one to let his mind wander.Confirm systems nominal, ensign?
Aye, commander. The Oijanen, Hentogaira, and Akhrad all report systems nominal.
he chided in return, folding his hands behind his back. The smirk erupted into a smile, as it had been far too long since he'd had the pleasure of Arcus' amusing personality.I couldn't wait any longer for a vacation, you know.
came the curt response as the transmission terminated. Not much needed to be said, everyone knew what needed to be done. The hardest part of the journey was over, and now they waited....and a good vacation it will be. Welcome back, Stark. Arcus out.
Break formation. Hirodu to exit point echo delta and detachment gamma to Lagrange Luna Two. Broadcast emergency rendezvous point lambda six to the fleet, and instruct them to enter defensive pattern echo bravo. Reinforcement points for escort group Caladbolg Lagrange Sol four and five; and make sure they confirm those orders. All stations ready, we've got a rough ride ahead.

he pondered, turning his attention to the bazaar.Now, where is that damned shop...
