Destiny

Sorry for the delay Herr Smith, there was a slight holdup some Hessians were attempting to hold up a convoy just south of New Berlin. We came as soon as possible, you understand, ja? I could see the Valkaries had combed the debris before falling back to enter formation around the transport. I was silently grateful for a little extra protection.

Well its good to have you gentlemen with us, I can tell you. Well be pulling in to Bonn to take on crew and supplies. Smith cut the transmission and lined up with the newly reactivated lane. With the acceleration fields back online, we were propelled forward towards the bulk of the station and its guardian battleship.

As we entered the stations holding area, a burst of chatter erupted over the comms, part of it human to ratify our docking codes, and part machine language - trinary - talking to the ships processors. Once the feed was cut, there was a grating noise as mooring clamps were engaged and the transport latched itself to the stations side.

Once the seal on the boarding tube was complete a green light appeared on the command consol, indicating it was safe to disembark. Here I walked out, the detective scurrying after me. I was halfway down the corridor when the door hissed open again and Smith walked out, no doubt to meet the embarking crew.

As I walked out through the tunnel, several men pushed past, all of them talking in loud Bretonian voices. I glad to be back among my own people, but angry that these people were unruly louts that could not recognise a social superior when one presented itself to them.

Inside, the station appeared clean and well kept. That was one thing at least. With the detective in pursuit, I found my way to the recreation decks were I decided to wait. The loading of cargo would take a while anyway.
