Begining of the end

The Ableben was escorted to The Ring, and there she was told to stay put. The shuttle that carried Dab and his two bodyguards was also escorted by the Feuer and the Wasser. Just before the shuttle went to land, a quick transmission from the Feuer came in.
"Lord Captain, we have to break formation. We appear to have a... situation."
Dab: "What kind of situation?" His eyes narrowed in suspicion.
Feuer Captain: "It would appear as if we have a rouge unit to take care of. This does not require your attention, Lord Captain. We will take care of it." With that, the connection was broken and the two gunboats turned off to find that one 'rouge' gunboat who had dared mess up what should have been a simple meeting.

There was no incident in landing, but when Dab stepped out of the shuttle a whole platoon of Rhinland soldiers had drawn up honnor guard positions. At first glance it was a show of respect, however a closer examination revealed that all the weapons were loaded and the soldiers were in (if highly polished) full combat gear. A Commisar and two more soldiers aproached Dab.
"Lord Captain, transport to the Chancellor's Citadel is awaiting." He motioned for Dab to follow.
