"Well, when I get back I'll drink to that. It will be to peace and safety, on Zoner terms." Coen said quietly, opening the door and striding through it whilst Argus turned back to his papers.
His two guards escorted him silently from the conference room to the hangar bay. They launched effortlessly and Coen's ship was immediately encircled by the two other escort ships which were flying around Freeport 9 during the meeting.
Their trip to Freeport XV was dead silent. No-one on scanners and no comms between any of the pilots. They landed on Freeport XV, and Coen breathed a sigh of relief. "It's over for now."
"Best call that battlegroup off too, before we burn though more resources." Coen thought and laughed, whilst leaving XV's hangar and heading for Raluca's Arcadia. "Doesn't really matter. We have more where that came from."
The four guards left Coen. Two of them went to their rooms on the Freeport, whilst the other two headed to Livadia Shipyard for their respective quarters.
