Fonder l'empire

[Serpentis]

• The Serpentia where in orbit of Malta when the meeting had started, the impressive Ranseur had multitude of fighters circling it, sabre's and Falcatas, all moving around it protecting it's sole important inhabitant.
  
  Don Set Ramirez, formerly Don and leader of the Venezi Syndicate, now one of the more influential Cardamine owners on the Planet.
  
  He walked slowly trough the hallways of the Serpentia, his oldest ship, and containing his most loyal soldiers and most powerful slaves. Not that long ago he had underwent an extended physical operation, to alter his appearance, what not many knew was the reason behind this. An attempt on his life, an explosion at his mansion causes his face to be terribly disfigured something a man with his self confidence could not live with.
  
  It took months for him to recover, but now, he was more determined then ever in his own plans, devious in design yet brilliant in their complexity.
  
  As the hallway ended with a door to the elevator that would take him to the hangar bay, one single soldier walked by his side.
  

• "My lord..", said the armored individual, as they stood in the transport tube
  
  "Yes Dante?", said Ramirez as he looked into a datapad which contained the coordinates of the meeting
  
  "You do not think the others will mind the late appearance?", he said as smoke poured from inside the helmet
  
  "Perhaps, then again I do not believe they will have said much of importance before my arrival..", he said as he waved his hand to make the smoke disspitate.
  
  
  They remained silent until they reached hangar bay 13, the hangar containing the heavy support ships.
  
  They walked down the stairs towards one of the Tridentes waiting for them, two of Ramirez personal guard stood waiting outside, both saluting by putting their arms with closed fists against their chests.
  
  He nodded as his eyes where completely fixed on the datapad, now having switched to his information gathered on Gallia so far by his information gathering group.
  
  The Tridente left the Serpentias hangar bay and cloaked a second afterwards..
  
  The Tridente came over the mountains as it turned to the landing pad close to the mansion, it circled twice observing the other ships that had landed, it's thrusters initiated and it eased down onto a empty spot on the pad.
  
  Moments passed before it's hatch on it's back opened, Dante and Ramirez started walking towards the entrance of the glorious mansion, Set stopped in his tracks, looking up at the wonderful building. Shook his head twice and then continued walking besides Dante, his bodyguard and most loyal soldier.
  
  ---------------------------
  
  They walked in trough the hallway, meeting at the end of it a weird looking being.. A man called Vulpe...
  
  He raises and eyebrow, looked behind him at the door and opened it without really saying a single word to the man..
  
  The doors opened, Set simply nodded at Dante to stay outside waiting..
  
  Then he walked in towards the giant table, walking around the table once, looking at each and everyone, finally stopping at an empty seat, taking it without saying a word.
  
  He smiled once, coughed and said ironically.
  

• "Well, is this not a great day? Hmm? How does our Gallic 'Friends' enjoy Malta so far? hmm?`"
  
  He nodded at each of the Gallics in the room..
