The Revival of a Planet

[Atreides2]

Rachel remembered what Nerva said in the Wormtail "Well, as you can see, everyone is having a gun here. Is standard protocol when you are in a recently conquered planet. You do not know where a battalion of Gauls are hiding. Plus at the moment, here are mostly soldiers and Fleet pilots, very few scientists and workers but even them are armed. And this Pangolins here" she pointed to the Guard "are carrying enough firepower to counter a whole platoon. What you looking at?" she responded to the stare the Guard gave "What? Is there a problem? You are Special Team and yet assigned here and not on Leeds."

"We go where the Marshall sends us."

"Seems you are not his favorites." Rachel said and she chuckled as the Guard chose not to respond "Do not worry, the is not that much love between Special Forces and Grunts and Fleet. Is more like a competition between us." she said leaning toward Nerva "Does the Dragons do not have this competition?" she managed to answer but the response didn't came as they entered Aeryn room.

Rachel changed all of the sudden and she became stiff "Governor, Lieutenant Rachel Aziza, Atlantis Battlegroup, reporting as ordered, escorting Doctor Nerva and Dragon Momoshiki."

"You are released, Lieutenant. Please do not leave the chamber as you are assigned as their escort. Thank you"

A tall slim man came, him being almost in contrast with all the people they met in the building as he was having a semi protocol uniform with the Phoenix cress on it but he didn't seem to have that military attitude that all other have it, more like a gentle civilian but he was still armed. He approached them and bow in front of them "Konnichiwa and welcome to Borneo, gentlemen. I am Aeryn Condor, Governor of Tau 44. Welcome again. Any refreshments?" he asked while showing a small buffet on the right wall "Please, you must be hungry and thirsty. Serve yourself. How was your trip ? What you think of the system we will inhabit together?" he asked and smiled waiting their reply.
