"It will be a pleasure, Doctor. I'm sure." Eriksson looked at his watch. "Ohh, could you excuse me, I have to attend to one of the other guests. It was a pleasure talking with you Dr. Holiday. I wish you, and your lovely wife, a pleasant time for the remainder of the evening." As Eriksson was heading towards his office, he gestured Hans to bring the Blood Dragon into his office.

Golanski used occasion when everyone was busy with each other and blended into crowd observing every newcommer. Spotting known and new faces his eyes rested on a pair: Christopher Dangen and Kate Miller. '...Be vigilant all time...' He said checking on his holstered pistol and continued walking around not drawing attention.
Kate did notice the arrival of the Admiral Golanski. She considered him as one of those that were potentially dangerous, simply because he was one of those guys that were not stopped by a simple magic trick.
Lennox could notice she seemed to be in another world for a moment, as the purple gem of her ring lightly glowed for the same duration.
Observing whole party, mind message turned him on high alert. Looking once at entrance to Ravenov's office, then at Miller and others he did not knew. This message disturbed him, being vary of Nomad mind influence capability, he noticed his thoughts of Miller's abilities were possibly underestimated but from other side he knew another card she could use. Whether it was Miller herself, some kind of unknown to him artifact or 'third force' none of those speculations were good news.
Lennox felt something. It was not much but he reminded when he felt like this before, too. He grabbed his head, like he would feel pain, as as he saw the same pictures crossing his view like years ago again. He almost didn't see what the woman infront of him was doing but it was obvious it was nothing that was usual for humans. Like he could feel the energy streams of neural activity around him he felt like he would be locked in a very small cage. His breathing went faster, his heartbeat rate higher. He couldn't believe he forgot all the memories that appeared in seconds infront of his eyes. What was going on? He saw all those people die through his hands in the past. Citizens, Navy, LSF and even his own girlfriend. He could scream out of pain in his head but when the 'streams' disappeared the visions disappeared, too. He couldn't explain anything. He was just under shock, not realizing his environment really well.
When the woman spoke to him he could barely understand what she said, trying to speak normal like he would have understood it.
"I...dragging....back? Yeah....past is bad...."
His visions were still there, weak and almost not to see, but they were there and distracted Lennox almost completely.
As Dave came closer and closer to Gran Canaria planet, he began to scan the old hideouts he knew and some other major places known by him.
Dave : NEX please scan the planet's surface for possible friendly contacts. Especially Cerberus. I will give you their ID codes.
NEX : Initializing scan. Scanners indicated several figures from Cerberus at these coordinates plus another amount of human signatures.
Dave : Gran Canaria is not used by Cerberus for ... "operations" ... there must be some sort of event. Ok we should get into the lower orbit and try to hail some old frequencies. NEX keep the ion emissions low.
The Phalanx entered with a considerably high velocity into the atmosphere arriving near the zone where the coordinates were indicating. He saw several ships landed near an old medieval-like building. He took the ship on a nearby area of the building, making not too much noise and not too much mess. He then opened his Holo-Receiver and tried to contact his Cerberus IDs. No luck. He tried to search for his old friend Eriksson.
Dave : Eriksson do you receive this message ? Please contact me asap. I think you have much to ask but I will explain to you after we will meet.
Then he activated his ship's spy drones to go into the nearby area to scan for unknown contacts.

While Eriksson was walking towards his office he heard a noise coming in from his communicator. He took a look at it and saw the name Dave Synk blip. "This can't be right." He listened to the message and then concluded. "Damn thing, must be broken. It's probably started repeating messages from before. There's no way Dave Synk survived the accident when he tried to cross into the other dimension."

NEX : Systems are almost at 30% repaired. Full completion of the operation will take approximately 12 hours.
Dave : Then I think we are stuck here with nobody to know of my presence.
Then taking his Holo-Receive he boosted the signal.
Dave : Colonel Erkisson, the coordinates are these *sends the coordinates via the message*. I am at Gran Canaria. Please contact me as soon as possible.

"You ok mate? You seemed like you were searching for someone." Or something
Jeremy looked at him curioualy, behind him Rika and Izzy dancing together happily. Seth was at the punch bowl, drinking quietly while he kept an eye out. Ellie, in the other hand, was waiting for Eriksson at the edge of the dance floor.
While the two men walked towards the balcony Daniels replied...
Daniels :Ah, yes, Feasts like these always turn out to be amazing. Especially since Colonel Ravenov is the host, believe me, the man knows how to throw a party like this.
When they reached the balcony Joe said this.
