"Well then, I thank you for that otherwise our asses would have been kicked!" Blake said with a chuckle once they exchanged hands.

Elizia went pale with satisfaction and took back her hand, “I am honored to be of service to your kind, Fleet Admiral.”

Then, a call came in through Elizia’s headset. Her sister spoke, “Fleetmaster Thelarfash has arrived and is on his way to the bridge. Meet him there.”

“Thanks, Brella. Let’s grab drinks after, Ca Puf?”

Brella chuckled, “Didn’t think you were the drinkin’ type, Sis. Sure, I’ll see ya on the ship after.”

Elizia gestured in the direction of the bridge, “My Fleetmaster is here. Shall we make our way to the bridge together?”

"If you say so," Blake said with a smile as he started to lead her to the bridge.

{Back sorry, I was just a little busy. Got time now!!!}

Carabali had been allowing the two to speak of course as she had contacted Geary and told him where they should all meet. He'd agreed easily before noting that the chat was done and hastily signing off before following along. "My apologies personally, Fleet Admiral for not addressing you directly as of yet. Admiral Geary is already informed of who will be arriving on the bridge and he is waiting there." She stated, keeping her weapon holstered, she didn't want to make hostilities where there was already high tensions… To an extent at least.

"Good to know, and no worries…?" Blake said.

"No worries for the moment, Fleet Admiral. Admiral Geary will have his hands full trying to salute our ally's Fleetmaster properly however. I do apologise Elizia, I did tell him that it was fine doing the normal salute but he wants to desperately try the salute your people do." She stated now with a small smile. "However, my presence will have to be on the bridge at all times or in meetings. It's custom to have one Marine… Keeping the peace and to make sure everything goes smoothly. It's normal even for the Fleet… I apologise personally, Elizia, if it's not something your people are used to."

“The Fleetmaster will not be discouraged, Carabali. Have no worry,” she replied, “We too closely guard those of high rank. He’ll have an escort of his own. We best meet with him soon, yes?”

Not waiting for an answer, she strode past Carabali, an unnatural confidence calling her closer and closer to the bridge. After the battle, the stress, and now the salvation, the importance of her place… she felt like she could rip worlds apart!

From hiding on a planet where no one respected her to doing small business with human traders to helping turn the tide of an entire battle. It was exhilarating. So exhilarating that Elizia nearly bumped into a table on her way by, but managed to slip by and only damage her hip. She cursed and cast a glance backward, hoping Fleet Admiral Blake hadn’t noticed.

Blake continued walking, slight chuckling inward when Elizia bumped into a table. He still kept a straight face though and pretended he didn't notice it.
He then put his hands to his ear as his second in command, Hussain had told him the successful production of the bots.

The group arrived outside the meeting room. Elizia was about ready to burst through the room, but something of a shadow of a doubt made her pause with her hand above the keypad.

This was gonna be a big change.

Carabali and Blake had been doing this for their lives. They probably saw this as a routine debrief after combat. But Elizia’s whole life had been spent hidden. Here, she was in the open, and probably about to be catapulted into a line of work she had barely dreamed of doing. Or maybe she’d be honored, and then sent back to the Mechanists: a brave soul with a big name.

Somehow… surprisingly enough to her, that didn’t seem like the favorable of the two outcomes.

Even then, anything could happen. Even without spiritual beliefs, it could be felt: a thousand different futures stemmed from this moment alone for Elizia. She took a deep breath, “Sorry, I’m just a little excited. Perhaps you should enter first, Carabali?”

{Sorry for being so late!!! If I need to edit the reply do tell me!!!}

Carabali watched Elizia for a few moments before giving a light smile and nod. "Of course. Fleet Admiral, if you and your entourage would like to walk behind me a few seconds after? Safety precaution that's practiced on Dauntless. The Marine of high rank, no matter who they're with, has to enter first… It's more in case something gets planted on the door without anyone seeing." She explained to Blake then turned to the keypad and put in the code to open it up. Giving Elizia a small smile before walking in.

"Admiral Geary, Carabali reporting." She stated, giving a salute before moving to one side to allow Blake to walk in. "The Fleet Admiral is also here, sir."

"Ah, welcome back to Dauntless Fleet Admiral. Little early but that's fine."
