The Path to Salvation !

[9th.Legion]

-After the meeting with captain Tavros Hernández in Palacio Imperial at Crete, captain Erwin D. Smith was sent back to his room. He sends a message to the 2IC of Excommunicado to meet him at the elevator, then quickly packed up his belongings and marched out to his ship, while holding a folder, with full details about the few new members of his crew. While walking In a few hasty minutes, near the elevator for the ship deck, a shadowy figure was waiting for captain Smith, It was none other than Chief Frankie Solomons of Excommunicado !

-They shook hands, went inside the elevator and head straight for the deck.

*Smith looked at Frankie and says*
"What do you think about the new crew members, Chief ?"

*Solomons with a smile says*
"Well, i hope they can keep up with the pressure *laughs*, come on captain, we've been through alot. We'll push this through as well !"

*Smith looks at the folder, opens it and reads through the information presented to him. Not sure if Tavros decision was right, he could only hope for now, Smith says*
"Let's hope that everything will turn out fine, for now i'm only concerned about the repairment of Excommunicado's engines and the upcoming mission. We will be diving again in danger and surrounded by enemies, fighting for a new purpose and a new cause but under Detterence's name."

*Solomons says*
"The Detterence are highly respected by the Corsairs Empire, we should give our best and make them proud of us. Their Empire is vast and strong, but still they chose to accept us, maybe we should strive for the same, captain. The danger was always lurking around us anyway, so I got used to it long time ago, but now... At least we have a chance to call this place "Home". With their might and power, we can avenge our people and bring down the corrupted Libertonians."

-The elevator signals that it reached the deck floor, Smith and Solomons step out of the elevator and continue their way to the Battlecruiser. While walking, Smith noticed that, the whole crew calmly talking to each other and laughing while waiting for both of them to arrive. In the middle were the new crew members, silently awaiting for their orders by their new captain and chief.

*Smith with irritated face says*
"Are we having a break or something ?"
"We have a arranged escort team waiting for us outside Crete and you all are slacking off ?"

*One of the new crew members says*
"No, sir ! Everything is boarded and the ship is ready to lift off at your command !"

*Smith surprised, looks at him and says*
"Very well then, It seems you have already recieved your instructions by captain Tavros without my knowledge"
*Smith opens the folder and goes to page 1*
"So, judging by your tone and preparation, you must be the new "Second Mate" - Ceres Diego Salvador, am I right !?"

"Yes. sir. I'm at your service, may we bring glory to Detterence and the Empire !"

*Smith looks to the left and points at the other crew member*
"You must be the "Deck Cadet" Sanchez Santiago Rodriguez?"

"Yes, sir. One and only for now, more will be waiting at Syros, but I will give you my best, sir !"

*Smith looks to the right and pauses for a bit*
"So... You must be the "Cheif Engineer" - Lorreta Gracia Dominguez, am i right !?"

"Yes, captain. Believe it or not, I am really good at my job and with time i will prove it to you. A lot of men doubted me at first, but the way I handle things, many were surprised ! Those men behind me, will help out for the repairment at Syros Shipyard, they are yours to command, captain !"

*Smith smiles and says*
"PERFECTION ! Everyone, welcome the new members of our crew !*everybody starts clapping and cheering* They are sent by captain Tavros to help us during our journey. more will be waiting for us at
"Syros Shipyard" , so let's board the ship on the double !"
"The escort outside is already impatient, so let's not make them wait, I will reveal more details about our incoming mission, for now all i can say is... There will be ships to burn and destroy !"
"Let's make Detterence proud !"

-Everybody boards the ship, the engine runs and the ship lifts off.
