Dublin System, Arranmore, Control tower.

Local Time: 14:07



The Arranmore chief traffic controller was pacing the room; men and women were busy on their consoles replying to the pilots patrolling Dublin, pointing out to them the armed forces and corsairs vessels spotted, system wide.
The outer Dublin's orange light was going through the Venetian blinds, warming up the atmosphere of the control tower's room.

Suddenly one the men sat before his own console, turned back on his desk chair toward the chief.

We got a contact 'ere, a large unidentified vessel dat jus' entered d'system frem O-Fourty Noine !

Contact the patrols around, tell'em toget a clear scan on it.

Replied the chief traffic controller. He, then, hit the red button on the wall activating the air-raid siren, and a red revolving light in the room. He picked up his headset lying on the holo-table before him.

Dhis is an alert, contact the security guards on the docking bay, tell'em to prepare to be assaulted o' besieged. Whoile ye're at it, tell d'lads tae launch a bomber squadron.

Pointing at one the men on his console, he carried on.

Contact the Goldern Coin, tell'em tae stay on alert until further notice !

After pausing for a few seconds, he spoke again.

Boyos, tell me we do have a scan on dhis shippie !?

One of the women on the consoles raised her finger, seemingly focused.

Go on lass !

The women with a poney-tail still holding up her hand, changed its hand stance to an opened palm as if if she was telling him to wait.
After a brief moment, she lowered her hand, and started to speak in her headset

Roger dhat ! O'er.
Oy got Dublin's patrol black-six 'ere ! Said they got a scan on it : CPW Lithuania, destroyer class vessel, displaying d'Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army 's transponders codes !!!


The chief sighted, and finally hit the red button on the wall again, turning off both the alarm and the red light.
Adressing anew to the crew in the room, he started again

Alert cancelled! Oy repeat : Alert cancelled !
Call back d'Coin, Arranmore's docking bay, also tell them to recall the bomber squad.
Lass, do tell black-six patrol to be ready to escort them, and prepare to call our guest if necessary.

The women nodded at the man with grey sideburns.
The later smirked., thinking that at least their defense system was ready in case of any invasion coming from O-49.
The man sat in his chair in front of the holo-table, wearing off the headset and puting it aside.
The Arranmore chief traffic controller started to follow the CPW Lithuania as it was know shown on the holo-table and was moving forward to Arranmore.





Dublin System, Arranmore, control tower.

Local Time: 14:09





The man with grey sideburns and temples was sipping a glass of whiskey, still monitoring the holo-table; while the various controllers were answering the numerous incoming messages.

The women with a poney-tail raised her hand again, snapping the fingers as the main screen went on.
However no image was displayed, as the sounds was the only thing that could be perceived :

"This is CPW Lithuania on approach, we are here with a VIP for a meeting, requesting mooring permissions and approach vector. Over."

The man gave a sign with his hand, as he grabbed again his headset. The screen split in two, displaying a black part on the left side, and the chief on the other one.

"This be Arranmore control tower to CPW Lithuania, we received your transmission and already have you on our scanners.
Your request to moor is granted. We're sending you the approach vector right now, as well as the current mines layout.
If you request an escort, we're able to send you one squadron.
We, however, suggest you to use the drydock at Foyle, instead of Arranmore, after the disembarkation of your VIP, if you suspect it to last more than an hour, as it would be safier for everyone.
Over."

The man with grey sideburns gave another sign with his hand and the screen went black , as the controllers where transmitting the informations requested.



Do tell the security guards on the docking bays to be prepared for any trick.
Also, oy wanna have d'Governor on screen, o' any councillor oif tis not possible to contect her.

Later, one of the controller raised his finger and point it at the chief as was displayed the live video of the governor on the main screen.

"G'day, ma'am, dhis is Arranmore chief traffic controller McNally, speaking. Oy must inform thou that a VIP from the Sirius Coalition should be on Arry in a few moinuts. Security guard chief has alreaday been warned 'bout dheir coming.
Is dere anything else we can do ?
Aye.
