*** Holodeck District, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
"Izzy is an old friend of mine - she was my chief AI, like a glorified personal assistant," Kyle explained. "She helped me when I was a part of Team Star Dragon, prior to the Marauder War. During the war, she served as my shipboard AI... and she still does, when I leave Dragon'taan to personally oversee operations. But while we're on Dragon'taan, she is the chief AI that keeps watch over traffic in orbit. She also keeps an eye on affairs down planetside, too. Can't fault her for keeping busy."
*** DMC Military R&D Lab, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
Xalek nodded wordlessly, then approached the aforementioned target, speaking quietly with him. The man - who appeared Vulcan, but with a twinge in his expression that suggested otherwise - nodded, then approached Shoon. "I am told you needed a volunteer for this?" he asked.
*** Tigress' Armory, Dragon'taan ***
Travis kept his irritated comment to himself as he followed Tigress.
*** Crusader Temple, Dragon'taan ***
Mathayus slowly nodded, Maria with a suspicious frown on her face. Mathayus motioned Tanya to follow him. "Come with me," he requested, starting for the Archives.
In the Archives, the librarian approached Tony. "Yes, how may I help you?" she asked.
*** Dragon'taan Orbit ***
"That's affirmative," Izzy replied. "Welcome home, Shadow Wolf." Shortly thereafter, a small fleet emerged from hyperspace - the DMCS Iron Will.
"Command, this is General K'torr - returning from mission," K'torr said.
*** USLV Assured Victory, Sangheilios Orbit ***
Luro stepped onto the hangar deck, and boarded the waiting drop ship, waiting for Ambre to board before the craft would seal, ready itself, and head for the surface of Sangheilios.
*** 'Vadam Keep, Sangheilios ***
Thel hummed in thought. "Luro... connected to the Force... that would be a first among the Sangheili. But we'll need to wait for his account. I am grateful you brought this to my attention. I am, of course, well aware of the attacks elsewhere in the galaxy, and I strongly suspect whoever is behind them is trying to drive a wedge between the allied powers of the galaxy, though to what end remains... unclear." He looked to Blaine. "If you can get in contact with your superiors, advise them to be on the lookout for any similar attacks. Whoever is behind this may try it on them."
*** Flagship Chimera, Coruscant dock 14-A ***
"You're in luck there; a holodeck is one of the first upgrades Captain Vasily installed on the Chimera - I'll light a path for you," Gemini said with a smile.
"Query: How long should I let this simmer?" Hector asked after Gemini disappeared.
(Technically, I figured the hour on Dragon'taan was actually getting into the late nighttime hours.)
