The Gran Canarian Feast

[Erasmas]

The Cerberus carrier AV-Solar Flare approaches Gran Canaria and places itself on geostationary orbit above the Ravenov estate; the ship is visible from the surface as a small grey dot in the vast blue afternoon sky. On the ship, an unarmed shuttle is prepared and then launched from one of the frontal hangar bays. The small craft descends almost vertically through the atmosphere, then upon approaching one of the landing pads a set of potent thrusters on the vessel's belly is fired, bringing the shuttle to a near halt and allowing it to land placidly.

A side panel lifts, showing a small group inside; a woman in a formal uniform is discussing with a soldier, she writes something on a pad and hands it to him, then answers to his salute and exits the vessel.

The woman stops for a moment to admire the landscape, then walks towards the entrance and inside the buinding.

Santiago: I hope I am not inconvenienly late, colonel Ravenov! *smiles walking to the host, then offers her hand* Lieutenant colonel Corazon Santiago; I am honored to be your guest, sir. And allow me to compliment you for this magnificent estate.

Eriksson turned around as Santiago came in. "Why thank you Lt.Col. Santiago. Likewise." Eriksson kissed her hand. "Now if you excuse me, Ms.Santiago. I have a guest to attend to."

Daniels walked over to the butler quickly remembering his name, it was Hans. When he looked at the wooden box he seemed intrigued. Of course, he couldn't read any of the stuff that was written on the box, but still, it looked amazing.

Daniels : Thank you, "Hans".

He took a cigar from the box, closed his eyes and smelled it.

Daniels : Yes, you were right Hans, this is great. You might wanna ask your Boss if you're allowed one as well, because man, this is the good stuff right here.

He took out his golden cutter and placed a well spotted Guillotine Cut. Slowly lighting it with a few matches he drew on it. Whilst exhaling in circles he asked...

Daniels : Astonishing, do you have any Whiskey here Hans?

Hans closed the box again.

"I'm sure I've have some."

He looked around.

"Would anyone else like a drink?"

Santiago: *her smile quivers only a moment at the handkiss* Thank you, colonel. Is Daniels here already? *looks around, noticing some known faces and some notorious ones It almost looks like all the Order high ranks are here; luckily we have plenty of ensigns to mantain the patrol duties. *chuckles*

On low attitude, single Karasu fighter was flying above surface of Gran Canaria. With no escorts it slowly aproached and landed at one of free pods. Young officer went out of vessel and slowly walked towards castle. One knowing him would recognize Michal Golanski, leader of The Order. At one momenth he stopped and took time to look at other ships that landed. He noticed guests coming in and followed their direction. Inside he noticed Ravenov who spotted him fast.

Eriksson noticed the admiral as soon as he walked through the entrance. He should have - he recruited him. "Admiral, what a pleasant surprise."

[font=Century Gothic][color=#FF99FF]A very heavy fighter came into Gran Canaria's atmosphere with a serious sonic boom. Flying at full speed, avoiding mountain peaks, the Sabre was showing some pretty purple lights. The ship was followed by two other Eagles flying at higher altitude. When the group approached the designated area, the speed was reduced and the noise dissapeared. Seeing the rather crowded landing pads around the estate, Raluca told the other two:

That little problem back home delayed us. I hope we won't be a problem for our host.

The three ships slowly descended on one of the free pads. Raluca changed her clothes during this maneuver. Now she wasn't a fighter pilot anymore. She was an Omicroner lady and elegance was the word of the day. Wearing a short black dress and high heels, the woman was a looking very attractive. She went inside. A rather big crowd of people and a lot of salutations going around. The woman realized she wasn't late at all. In fact the party was just starting.

Raluca never met colonel Ravenov so she only knew about him from rumors and news. She tried to find him with no success, when, she saw a butler:

Excuse me. Can you point me in the right direction? I'm trying to find the host of this party.

Santiago: *following Eriksson's look, she notices the admiral* Admiral Golanski, a pleasure to meet you again. How was the travel from Toledo?

As the Major entered the Omega 49 system he breathed a sigh of relief...

"Phew, finally made it, that must be some sort of record. All the way from the top of The Barrier to the bottom, I just hope I was quick enough not to be late..."

The Major continued on his way to the Gran Canaria docking ring...

"This is Major Dan Beckz of Cerberus requiting permission to land."

The Major then turned up the volume of the music and completely drained out any other sounds. He proceeded to land once the ring opened...
As he neared the surface he started to search for the Ravenov castle... He typed the coordinates into the ships systems and sat back while the auto-pilot did all the work....
After about five minutes of flight, the Major's music was interrupted by the ships computer as it informed him of his arrival...

"Right now where can I set her down? Ah there is Colonel Danels' ship, I'll park next to him, better not bump into him" *Laughs*.

The Major sets his Sekhmet bomber next to the Colonel's...
Somehow he manages to change out of his Cerberus jumpsuit into something slightly more... Formal...
As he disembarks he clutches several bottles of Gallia's finest wine, one of the many benefits of working in the Taus, fixes his tie and heads towards the breathe taking castle...

The Major enters the grand entrance and looks around at all the guests... he sees a man who appears to be the host... Ravenov...
As the Major approaches the man he suspects to be Ravenov he thinks to himself...

"Damn I hope this is him, we've never meet so `i have no idea what he looks like... And I really hope he likes the wine, with a castle this big he must have an entire seller! Oh well its the thought that counts...."

The Major reaches the suspected host, smiles, offers his hand and says...

"Colonel Ravenov I presume? I am Major Dan Beckz of Cerberus, it is truly an honor to meet you sir."
