Sieurs, Dames et Inconnus

[Exile]

Planet Nevers, Martinique, Estate of the Grande Marechal. 14:00 SGM.


"...I don't give two damns if he's a loving father or not. Crime like that will not go unpunished Colonel, see to it that he gets his due, or I'll be forced to take other measures. Report to me when you're done. Albert, what's next? "

[color=#000000]"Colonel Giroux is here to see you, Madame. Concerning ope-"

"I know, I know. Send him in."

[color=#000000]"Very good, madame."



LaCroix stepped away from the fireplace and walked over to her desk. There were papers lying all over it, some marked Classified, others normal reports, and yet others of a more personal nature. She sat down in a rather large bureau chair and lit up a cigarette. Only after this did Albert open up the massive wooden doors to her office, granting entrance to the Colonel. She does like her image.

The Colonel stepped through the massive wooden doorway and into her office. Normally when people first came in there they were surprised, stunned perhaps by the extravagant, massive office the Grande Marechal spent most of her desk time in. Not the Colonel. He was here to do a job, not admire the sights. He walked up unto the Grande Marechal's desk and then stopped. He saluted proudly before speaking.

"Mon Grande Marechal, the status reports as ordered." he spoke.

"Excellent, Giroux. This'd better be some good news, or I'll have to take other measures. His majesty is getting... Impatient. "
She placed her cigarette in the ashtray and took the folder from the hands of Grioux. The Colonel stood there for several minutes as the Grande Marechal closely read every word in his report. "This disc?", she asked. "Video only of the bugged apartment in which we are currently housing the subject."

The Grande Marechal took the disc out of the folder and inserted it into a slot in the wall. A rather large projector came down from the ceiling and then projected the image onto the wall. "Play".

Several moments passed as she carefully viewed every second of the video recording. There was one thing that stood out in the whole room. Whether it was a Sirrian thing or something else, it had to be investigated.
"The Object on the table. I want to know more about it. I want to know what would cause a person and one of my Colonels to freeze for such a long period of time. Again Giroux, I want to know who she is, who she works for and what her exact reason for being here is. "Wonders of the universe". Sirrian bullcrap. Get me stone solid answers. I've arranged for certain.. Measures to be taken for your next meeting with this Anje. I've placed her ship is under twenty four hour surveillance, along side this I have arranged for twelve marines to aid you in your.. Investigation. Should she continue this vague cryptic oracle crap, bring her in. We'll get her to talk here. Dismissed. "

With that as orders, Giroux saluted and made his way out of the massive office. Back to work.
