"Permission granted Ambassador two, we have been expecting you. Docking bay four has been cleared for your arrival. Apex Reaver has been expecting you", the ship's AI spoke.

Being notified of the arrival of the Inquisitor, Andre scrambled the crew aboard the Nergal and moved them all to docking bay four. Four hundred and thirty three crew members have been lined up in a formation in the bay, awaiting her arrival.

The docking bay doors open. A crimson red dromedary enters the bay with elegance and precision, like the ship was made out of feathers.

"Attention! The Inquisitor has arrived! Act according to the information I just gave you. Do not make me regret this decision!"

As he turns around, the doors of the dromedary are open, and two figures are seen standing in the darkness of the ships interior. They have arrived. Andre turns around, and starts walking towards the ship, eager to meet her. As he was to approach, the figures step out. An unknown man, bearing the Crimson insignia, and Inquisitor Espinosa. As she spots them, he takes two steps back, and bows before her.

"Miss Espinosa. Your arrival has been long expected. Welcome to our headquarters, the Nergal's Flame. We have a lot to talk about."
