DECEMBER XII 824 A.S | PLANET BALTRAM ATMOSPHERE; THE VAULT

---

There was a clunk as the Athena moored with the Vault. Beeps and clicking could be heard as the Exit Bay decompressed itself. Suddenly, with a loud whoosh, the Bay doors slid open and Nathan Archos with a detachment of 6 Core Marines. They were all clad in dark blue AP-ARM battle armour, with golden shoulder guards and a circular golden plate on their upper torso. Archos had a burgundy cloak that covered his neck and extended down to his waist. They held their almost-alien looking rifles tightly in their hands, with sharp Iridium combat daggers holsters on their waists. hung They embarked into the Vault, with two of them sticking near the entrance to guard the exit. As they walked into the landing area, they spied Ezrael Vertiga and the crew of the La Rochelle from the Marine Royale Gauloise. He raised a clenched fist in the air, signalling to The Core marines to halt.

"Marvelous!" Archos proclaimed, clapping his hands as he walked towards the other inhabitants of the Vault. He was dressed in similar attire to the Marines, except with a burgundy cloak that covered his neck."What a glorious occasion this is - The Core and the Gallic Royal Navy in one room!". He stopped and then turned his gaze to Ezrael "And... you..." he said bitterly. Although to The Core Ezrael was a criminal, it was through his efforts that they were able to walk in the abandoned halls of the Vault. "The Core thanks you for your help, Vertiga. We will see to it that our agreement is met, provided you keep your end of the deal".

Archos crossed his arms, before addressing the group. "For the sake of those ill-informed, I suggest we introduce ourselves before moving further into the Vault. My name is Nathan Archos. I am the Supreme Guildkeeper of The Core and the discoverer of this station. I currently hold the highest authority in our military, bested only by that of Guildmistress Loyola who is currently attending other duties".
