Two Nephthys' are jumping into the system. The cold, white clouds remind the pilots of how dangerous that place could be. Normally they would only be here to do some special missions or just to scout. However, that wouldn't be on the list of today. The vessels initiate the cruise engines and head for the Docking Ring of Canaria. Slowly arriving, the two fighters are entering the atmosphere via the docking ring. The two fighters set a course to the castle where the feast should be.
(Lennox)
(Sombrero)
Some minutes later they arrived and landed on the, a bit distanced, landing pads. The cockpits open up and two men are jumping out. Lennox and Sombrero finally made it to Canaria without too much trouble. Though, Sombrero didn't set up a message for his arrival but he just wanted to have some fun this time too. Away from all the duty and stuff to do, he always see in the Omicrons. The two pilots walk towards the entrance, impressed by the splender of the huge, almost ancient-like, building. They walk in, seeing a lot of guests have already arrived.
Both pilots split up, searching for known faces in the crowd.
'I had some business to atend... and I did not came from Toledo really. Seems after all I am not late.' His uniform was officer's one but lacked any rank insignia. 'And you dont need to name me... admiral. I decided it's safer and more efficient to not draw attention.' He turned to Santiago. 'Welcome colonel, congratulations on your promotion. My visit was not announced... not on that public channel if you can understand me. I hope you're good since last time we met.
[font=Century Gothic][color=#FF99FF]Raluca looks in the direction the butler pointed and she sees the colonel discussing with other guests. She approaches and decideds to intervene:
Hello! I'm the neighbour next door. Have you seen the one that parked that Sekhmet on my royal roses?
Not waiting for their reaction, she continued and introduced herself:
Hi! I'm Raluca Kiss. I hope I wasn't too direct. Colonel Eriksson Ravenov, it's an honor to finally meet you. James Ferguson described you with an abundence of positive adjectives. He also sends you his best wishes and he's sorry he couldn't come.
Butler :Es tut mir leid, mein Herr. But I am not ze Colonel, he is over zer. Next to zeh crowd, from zer to zer. Meine name ist Friedrich, do you want anything to drink Major Beckz?
"A pleasure it is, milady. I welcome you to my estate, and wish you a welcomed stay. Please, make yourself at home." Eriksson greeted Ms.Kiss with a dash of chivalry.

A Kusari-looking ship slipped past the ice crystal fields covering the jump-hole to Dublin. A Blood Dragon Katana surely wasn't a common view for the population of Omega 49, hence the vessel was lucky enough to be ignored by the couple of Corsair small raid groups heading to Bretonia in order to resume their looting fest. Following the usual procedure, the Dragon entered Gran Canaria's atmosphere via docking ring and followed the GPS coordinates showing the location of Ravenov's castle. As soon as the Katana landed on one of the many pads surrounding the castle, a man on his early 40's jumped off the Katana.
Suspecting he would be the only one of his kind there, Kazuo Akechi silently followed the crowd while trying to spot the host of the party.
Lennox moves around and could see the face of Eriksson. He then walks to him, seeing a young woman standing there, too. He reaches a hand to the Colonel to greet him.
"Good day Mister Eriksson. A pleasure to meet you in person. How is it going? Everything alright? Oh...Miss..."
He nods at Raluca with a smile.
---------------------
Sombrero is, meanwhile, searching for the Butler to get a drink. Without drinks nothing should work. Then he notices the Admiral is present.
"Good day Admiral.....didn't expect to see you here Sir. Everything alright?"

The Hollidays took a few minutes to settle into their room. After Midori re-assured her husband that she would be fine for a little while, they ventured back into the crowd. Doc wasn't used to these kinds of parties. Normally, he knew those around him quite well. Today, he felt like a stranger. His reputation and work were well known but many had never physically seen him. Still, he sat at a small table with his wife eating some hour'douvers (sp) and each enjoying a drink of choice, Doc a glass of brandy and Midori her favorite, Gallic wine.
It was a special time for them as they hadn't been out together for awhile since the birth of the twins. As they sat, they discussed them as they still hadn't decided on names for the two infants still in incubators at Canaria Medical. Despite the on goings around him and his conversing with his wife, he was still aware of what was going on around him.
