(Um... Rho'Syn, did you mean Coruscant?)
*** Dragon'taan Orbit ***
A slipspace portal opened up, and from it, two ships emerged. One was a Sangheili Assault Carrier - the other would be the Mother of Innovation. Both would emerge safely.
*** Krystal's Mansion, New Cerinia ***
Krystal's voice woke Markus from his nap "I'm up!" he responded, getting up and digging around for the wrapping paper. "You hear from Saraabi yet? Did she finish her business on Cardassia Prime okay?"
*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Dragon'taan ***
Ann looked up. "Yeah, in case the backpack doesn't give that away. Came here from Earth," she responded. "Heard so much about the home world of the dragon-shifters, wanted to see the place myself. Saved up a fortune, came here, now just... taking in the sight. Which reminds me, what's the night life like?"
A baby could be heard wailing, and Ann would look over in time to see a young lioness reach down and pick up an infant child. There was a human with crimson dragon eyes sitting with her, who smiled at the sight of the child, and the implication was clear. That was the child's father, which, Ann thought, made the lioness the mother.
*** Earth ***
Fleet Admiral Hood stood alone in a briefing room with a folder in hand. His aides outside would direct Fayam to this room. Hood had high hopes that this bounty hunter's reputation was well-earned, and that he could play this subtle. The UNSC could not afford any more slip-ups with the target.
*** Outer Space ***
The Interdictor Star Destroyer would rock as it was hit by a Photon Torpedo, then another, followed by another. "K'torr to boarding party - get out of there! We have multiple cloaked vessels bearing down on you! They're firing through the cloak, we can't get a lock! Get out of there, and I'll destroy the ship! That should allow us to escape!"
*** Indari Manor, Dragon'taan ***
Drake offered an arm to Raz, so that he could climb onto his shoulder or back, before he marched off to find his aunt Maria - the family dragon medic.
