The disturbing meeting

[Vitoniz30]

William watched the gauls which were passing through the scanner and nodded in approval once the last man finished the scan.
- Admiral Vaillant, you're not in the Gallia, you're not even in the Sirius, but in Omicrons - here is no place for applause and flowers when all of us are involved in the long and exhausting war, where your enemies are in shadow and small mistake may lead you to disaster. I will explain the details once we reach the combat control room.

For the few next minutes, the procession walked across the station corridors and Vaillant couldn't ignore the fact each soldier or officer, who passed by or stood near his or her workplace, saluted to Commodore with a single word "Commander". Despite his quite young age, William's rank was deserved.
Finally, they reached the room 5-G "Combat control room" that was under guard:
- Admiral, come in. Only high ranked officers have rights to enter this room.
