Jasmine walked up the stairs, but instead of walking up to the control room, she took a turn halfway, off a dusky corridor to a plain metal door. Opening the door, Jasmine walked in, beckoning the crew to follow.
What greeted them was a two metre across square of optronics, rising a metre high off the floor. The structure was rimmed by strange circuitry and machinery, and multiple cables extended in every direction. Jasmine walked over to the structure, resting her hand steadily an inch from the surface.
She stated clearly. "Hex5. Control Room." As soon as the worlds left her mouth, a holographic display appeared, the single red eye hovering in front of the group.

"Hello Mon Reine. I presume this is the crew of the Diomedes vessel. It is a pleasure to meet those partially responsible for my creation."
