Pierre saluted Storgen and his agents respectively. The personal guard of the Amiral emerged from the Liner and completed the welcoming assembly. Several screens installed near the command post of the platform #6 had been prepared to show the two flags of Gallia and The Order when the ceremony would begin.

Vaillant answered to Storgen: -"Ignoring his allies is not in the Gallic manners, Commodore. Nevertheless, I have to say I really had to make an effort to come till this place, so far from Gallia, while I am already well occupied leading the operations against the Kusarians in Burgundy."

Pierre waved his hand to his guard, asking them to come. He then turned to Storgen. -"I would like to have my guard escorting us to the office where we could discuss properly. Do not consider this as an offense to your own soldiers, however. I have a total trust in their professionalism. But as we know, trust doesn't exclude control isn't it? "
