Onboard of Secunda

[Hitman-76]

Meeting aboard the war vessel "Secunda."

Topic: Classified

After meeting Sheila, Duke and his companions follow her to Oliver's office. The scientist and engineer take notes silently, briefly examining the ship. They particularly take notes on the computers, communicators, consoles, and other interactive technology along the way. Duke is silent for the entire way there not mentioning a word until they arrive at the office.

Once they arrive at the office, everyone follows Sheila in and Duke acknowledges everyone in the room before speaking to Oliver directly, "Salutations, I assume you have quite the story to tell, Mr. Taylor." Duke slightly nods in respect to Oliver, knowing what they have all been through. The two others who came in with him acknowledge everyone by simply nodding without a word while taking a seat. "The two gentlemen I have brought here are with me today are a scientist and an engineer from my ship, the Lockdown. They are here to take notes and amass data, all for safety purposes of course."

Duke sits as he says this and thinks a moment before saying something else. "I do not doubt your chief scientist, but a more direct "involvement of intervention" may be necessary, which is why they are here today. I don't want another Mars incident; every precaution must be taken into consideration to prevent this from happening again." As Duke finishes speaking, the engineer takes an envelope and hands it to Duke. "Now Mr. Taylor," Duke continues, "Take this and open it, I'll explain why we brought this to share." Duke holds and offers the envelope in the air for Oliver to take it, still being seated.
