Meeting at the Citadel

[Kauket]

Revenant nodded in response, acknowledging their hastily telepathic message. It did hurt a little to receive, oddly enough. She cleared her throat, reorientating her thoughts.

"Of course. Take what you will, we would rather it be within your hands, rather than Humanities. "

She stood up in line along with Audax who was waiting. "Follow us, if you may, please. "

The two would lead the gang out of the meeting room, the Captain and his cohort were present outside the room, boredly awaiting. The group would be led down the hallway into another corridor of varying doors. They were lead through a reinforced door with an orange stripe. They entered the containment cell. Ahead of them was presented what appeared to be a crystallic chunk in suspended stasis, held up by the anti-gravity field.

Audax would nervously open up, elaborating more upon the specimen before them, he would briefly tap into a nearby console with a display, showing the brief scientific jargon of the material properties amongst other things,

"This sample was retrieved from the southern quadrant of the structure, just above the defunct stabilizer. There was a previous forceful entry upon examination, which had revealed some of the interiors, uh, 'veins' - as you will. This sample was the most intact extraction from the mission. Unfortunately, the City cannot be saved, the damage to the stabilizers is far too extensive and the pressure of the atmosphere has damaged majority of the structure. Most of the samples were extensively damaged. Ah. I-I'm sure you already knew that though... We do, ehrm, have more samples, stolen from Corsair extractors. Xeno Relics, they nickname them. No doubt those horrible creatures horrendously damaged all the samples during extraction..." The nervous protege recomposed himself, "They are next door, if you wish to go through them. I-uh, must warn you, there is a lot to go through..."

The screen showed the sample was primarily consisting of what was mentioned on the comms previously. "Xesxum" - Azurite A6, biocrystal composition... Along with other elements that was yet to be identified in its entirety. It was a pretty hefty sample, definitely not something that could be held by hand. There were some cross references to another City within the file, namely the Newcastle one, including some discreet trailings of Ingenuus Research Vessels, following them to that site. It seems the Technocrats had visited that site before their conflicts with Bretonia. Including a bold raid of one of the observation facilities within orbit, they had stolen some data from the Bretonian facility.

Revenant stood back, holding her arms behind her back. She peered to the side for a moment as a message came in on their augment piece, something alerting them on through the Uplink, pouting in response. With some mild irk within their tone from the report, she turned back to the group from the back,

"I must warn you of your returning trip. Local teams have detected Order assets on the move transferring Kusari to Liberty garrison, last seen in Kepler. Last capital sightings were detected in Coronado, a recon cruiser under the "S8" markings. I advise you go through Vespucci to Leeds to avoid direct conflict on the way back. "
