Miles to Midnight

Deep withing Sierra Ice field, an Interdictor-class battlecruiser decloaked for only a short moment. While it could be easily mistaken as local naval vessel at first glance, closer inspection told a different story - it had damaged and rusting hull on several places and visibly mismatched equipment and weapons meant that there were some less than usual attempts in order to keep it space and combat worthy.
Battlecruiser opened its belly hangar and launched Grizzly shuttle before disappearing as suddenly as it appeared. While its cloaking capabilities were far from perfect, it was deemed good enough for this ice field.
Shuttle made quick approach towards Fontana Freeport and docked as soon as it received green docking clearance.


Virginia left the shuttle dressed in her longcoat with brown turtleneck underneath and black pants with heavy, clearly military-like boots. Her above-average height and proud body posture gave her somewhat imposing and commanding presence, a posture carefully and dutifully learned when she served as officer in Hellfire Legion. Two men following her were dressed very similarly, although they preferred leather jackets instead of coats - and like Virginia, none of them had any visible rank insignias on them. For all intents and purposes, they were 'civilians' now.

Virginia eventually found her bearings and arrived at the door to the small improvised conference room, followed by her most trusted pilot and bodyguard. She casually gestured at her men to wait outside and was genuinely surprised when Damien's honor guards not just haven't checked her for weapons, but also saluted and opened door as she approached.

"Greeting, Mr. Morreti.", she greeted Damien formally as he entered small conference room and immediately, almost like an instinct, reached into her coat's pockets for small metal lighter amd cigarette case, "I am Captain Virginia Belle, in person.".
