Admiral looked over, for a moment freaking out Lucien as if he actually stared directly at his wife which until recently had been “dead”. Likely Lucien’s fragile mental status reinterprets stuff out of proportions on top of livid hallucinations. Adjusting in his chair to be more comfortable, the supreme commander of The Order looked directly at Lucien with concern or even little suspicion. Staring him down as he started to mumble to himself, after a few more moments of silence, Admiral finally spoke. “It has been what, 15 years?” He might have been wrong plus or minus a few, but the disparity was great nonetheless. “I had known the story but until you told me I did not know it was you. Entire planet was speaking about it at the time.” Cretan violence between the clans and families subdued to nil in the wake of external enemies in the form of the Sirian Houses to unite the Elders, such episodes were extraordinary and uncommon at best. Golanski himself was raised on this world, way before he joined up with The Order.
