"Your quick response is appriciated and Fomorian affiliation have been noted."

Shortly after, the Orbiter jumped.

Upon arriving at the planet you receive communication from an woman clad in ornate robes.

"We have been informed that you are carrying supplies for reconstruction." She says. "Please dock at the Citadel. The Chancellor will meet you there to discuss payment and other details."

"We have been informed that you are carrying supplies for reconstruction." She says. "Please dock at the Citadel. The Chancellor will meet you there to discuss payment and other details."

"Operator, are you allright? We will be arriving soon. Do you need help composing yourself?" Ceda asked Luna as she joined her by the airlock.

"I'm fine, just a little nervous." Luna responded with a faint smile while leaning against the wall as the ship drew closer to the Citadel. "I just need to get out more." She added while summoning a holographic screen to her left, which were empty for just a moment before it showed her the outside. "I wonder how it will feel.." "Feel?" Ceda asked curiously as she once again materialized near Luna while initiating the docking sequence. "The air.. every planet is supposed to feel different, right?" "I.. i'm not sure if I can describe that for you, I don't breath."

The ship came to a stop with a small thud as it locked into position. After a few seconds the door opened and a soft breeze moved in. Oh- my! So that's how it feels!

Luna begun to walk out of the ship, followed closely by Ceda. She could recognice someone approaching them but she had some trouble adjusting to the light -or in this case, sun- as she held one hand over her forehead while leaning carefully to the side. It would not be far off if anyone got the impression that she rarely left the ship.

((Luna is wearing a simple but elegant white and black dress with light blue accents that allow full movement while still being responsible enough to be worn even around more regal meetings. It also have a discreet hood that can be raised if needed. Luna herself is lithe and easy on the eyes but also young, just around 15 with black hair almost touching her shoulders. Her body is somewhat frail but she possess a very strong mind. Due to this, she is carying a single weapon, a custom black and white Synoid Gammacor with an ice blue energy.))

[Rakawan]

A robed figure wielding an Orthos approaches you. 

"Luna?" A voice asks. "The Chancellor will see you now."

The doors on the citadel open.

A cephalon contacts Ceda. It seems to be free of the glitches that plague the ORDIS model.

"Greetings Cephalon Ceda." It says. "I am the Combat Analysis and Logistic Cephalon."

Theylin looks at Teloch. A HUD transmission of his operator's face appears.

"Did you really think they were going to just hand us contracts?" He asks. "Confidence is one thing, but that's a little much."

He bows.

"Where are my manners? Captain Theylin at your service." He says. "I look forward to working with you."

He gestures up and you notice a ship descending.

"In one hour my boys are going to be at that colony." He says. "We'd appreciate any back-up you could provide."

 

 

 

 

Teloch remained in his posture after Ryoko's leave; after a brief pause taken to consider something, he replied to his interlocutor, "These modern customers... The thing is that the group you see now, including me, has a "big game" to take down, and, should it be left ignored, it would cause much more damage in lives and assets than an average mining colony has to offer. That means you and your men will work not with me directly but with my subordinates", the man shifted his weight center a bit forward, "If I heard right, your group possesses civil carriers, which is quite fortunate to the situation, since my guild's fleet is mainly composed of combat vessels. Sticking to this roles division, consider the next scenario: your men are to cater the in-field evac procedures and work with civs while my forces will establish air dominance, convoy escort, and provide assistance in security perimeter establishment. Please, organize your mobile groups in accordance with the planned support, which will consist of three attack xiphoses, five heavy scimitar fighters, one reckon liset and two dropships carrying four squads in total." The Rhino slightly lift his helmet chin before continuing, "Major Therese Bloom will be in charge of this operation from our side. She will get in touch with your responsible officer at the designated location's orbit. Approximate ETA - fifty minutes from this moment" 

The Rhino eased his posture, took his palm from behind his back, and said "Godspeed, Theylin" before disabling loudspeakers, turning away and gesturing his group to get a move on while walking to the exact scimitar he landed from. The group's take-off took even less time than the landing, and, after a couple of minutes, the fleet has already jumped back to the Origin system.

The ancients stagger and two more fall. One of them raises its mouth and emits a haunting cry. You hear a roar and the wall shakes. The remaining Ancients fall to Namira's flames. The wall shakes again and the maggot hides behind you, chittering nervously. It seems to be extremely worried about whatever is behind the wall.

*She looks down to her leg*...Oh uh..somethings big is coming, get ready Namira!, *she picks up her maggot and puts it near the back of her head, where her infested hair like tentacles are to keep it safe, She then commands the broodmother to take point*

Go scout!, attack anything that comes around the wall!.

An Archon notices you and walks over.

"Hello ma'am." He says. "Looking for something?"

*She Nods* *Hello Sir" *She Says* "I'm waiting for the Prime Trader, a good friend of mine, is there a place I can rest until he arrives?, and where most whuold be out of harms way of my pet here" *She then rises a brow* "Speaking of which" *She says, sighing* "What are the laws for keeping such pets?"

*The Conculyst draws a bit closer to the Archon, but stays close to its master, it seems to watch every move of the Archon, it even opens up to do a scan*

Luna gathered herself and followed inside with Ceda just behind. Ceda cheered up as she heard the voice of another Cephalon but kept the conversation private. "What a pleasant suprise! I didn't know there were other Cephalons around, but to meet an unglitched series-2? Remarkable. You will have to excuse my excitement though, I presume you are here for the cargo?"

((Ceda is a Cephalon from the time before the Old War. She wears the shape of a single horizontal oval in a light yellow tone. However, there are a few Cephalons -like Cordylon- who knows her shape used to be more grand.))

Foleus readied a Bastille, just in case.

A grey and blue liset flew towards the rail.

"Ember Prime, Katrina here. I'm part of the fire hawx. I have been directed here by the advice of my fellow clan mate Lucious and like him am here to help rebuild this city." 

Katrina looked at the Phoenix helmet she was holding. Aaron had told her to use the trasnference due to her nature in combat. But she simply felt like a coward if she used that. Besides what could happen here. It was a simple city rebuild.

Foleus tossed down the Bastille after configuring it to levitate cargo that was being carried.

There was a pause and muffled "hmm".  "That works, too," came the voice, and the door was opened by a solid black Trinity Prime with silver trim, sans helmet.  Richard pulled the levitating crates in behind him and placed them on a side table before unstacking them.  He took a quick visual sweep of the room, then nodded to Foleus.  "Good to see a Vauban around here.  Simon rarely leaves the Comm Center."  He walked across the room and extended his hand for Foleus to shake, or not.  "I'm Richard."

"Pleasure's all mine."  He looked at the blueprint.  "What've we got here?"  He flicked his hand, and a levitating data pad flew out of one of the boxes and into his hand.

Richard pulled on the hologram of the blueprint until it copied itself, and dragged the copy to his datapad.  "I'll admit I'm not big on tinkering with things other than my Warframes.  Pimped my baby out pretty good, but beyond that?  Not so much."  He gestured to the boxes in the corner.  "Your stuff's here, Zareth.  Came in about two hours ago."  He fiddled with a few options on his datapad, then turned to leave.  "Well, I'll leave you two tekkies to do your thing."

The Archon slides away from the scanning beam.

"No pictures please." He says. "As for laws. Well if it kills someone you're responsible. I doubt it would be capable of causing any other problems. Unlike those thrice blasted fluffles. Why people cannot seem to nueter the darn things is beyond me."

He looks around.

"You could wait here." He says. "Most buildings are damage by the attack, and the ones that aren't are chock full of refugees. None who would take kindly to seeing a sentient."

He looks at his armpad. 

"The Trader should be arriving momentarily." He says. "I will notify him that you are expecting him."

"A series-2?" C.A.L.C asks. "Why I never! I, my dear, and a NX-1 series cephalon. You might say I am the first modern cephalon to be designed to interface with both humans and AI." 

The Cephalon shifts to a shape reminiscent of an atom.

"I am here to welcome another Cephalon." He says. "The only others I have met are the new Athena series, a bit stuck up if you ask me, and the Ordis models."

The lights seem to dim.

"I tried talking to Suda but that old motherboard wouldn't even acknowledge me." He says. "To busy with her Science. So what is the origin system like for we Cephalons?"

---

The guard leads Luna to an ornate office. A chair sits before a desk.

"The Chancellor will be with you shortly." She says. 

There are several interesting relics hanging on the wall. They seem to be a mix or Orokin and Tenno design.

As the Broodmother trudges towards the wall it collapses. A giant scythe cleaves through the allied infested. A head like a cobra slips into the room and a giant leg pushes at the edges of the wall. This seems to be the Lephantis clone you have heard about.

As your forces arrive at the coloney you see that the carrier ships have already begun to descend. A message from Theylin reaches the Major.

"Sorry to jump ahead of your precious schedule." He says. "But if we waited any longer civilian casualties would have escalated." 

Scans show heavy fighting within the colony. Grineer ships are arriving, mostly Galleons and fighter craft.
