Back on the flag ship, the coms buzz.

"Commander, we have secured their flag ship and captured Mustang au Augustus. How shall we next prosede?" 

 

[[Let's give it a few hours to see if Vitus has time to respond. If not, he said I could play Garagas like an NPC, so I might do that.]]

 Back on the flag ship, a notification pops up on all the screens. In golden letters, it reads, "The Acros fleet has been defeated! Only two fleets remain."

"Is that so?"

Lazaren motions for Mustang to be securely bound. "Contact Garagas and tell him the situation," he tells Mave. 

 "Your gonna need me for what comes next."

 

"Yes sir."

 "Oh, and what's next?" Lazaren asks, a curious expression appearing on his face. 

 "My brother and the Bellona's. Not a great combo. Not great for you, anyway."

 "Sir, Commander Garagas says to report back to the flag ship. Leave prisoners tied up in the cargo hold, but bring mustang to the bridge."

 "Let's get to it then. Thank you."

Lazaren sighs softly in relief, glad to have beaten Mustang, at least for now. 

Now, with no enemy left fighting, everything goes smoothly. Your orders are followed, and the remaining enemies are tied up. Victra leaves the gift in her shuttle and picks you, Mave, Pax and Mustang up, and takes you all back to the flag ship. 

The 5 of you walk into the bridge to find Garagas, Roque, Cassius, Antonia and Quinn waiting for you. Surprisingly, Roque walks over and shakes Mustangs hand before any of yours.

"Long time no see, Virginia." 

"Long time no see, Roque."

 Roque chuckles. "She's a friend from school."

Quinn looks at you, and then at everyone else. "It's been a busy day. Why don't we all get a drink, relax, and then possibly get some sleep?"

"I second that. Being defeated can be quite taxing." Mustang smiles. First time You've seen her properly do that.

Lazaren's thoughts: 

Lazaren is feeling a bit paranoid right now. Though he feels like he can probably trust Quinn, he's surprised at everyone's sudden easy going-ness. He's keeping his eyes open, keepin' the adrenaline pumping, because he still has things to do, and people to watch out for. 

He'll go along with them for now. 

 Everyone walks off towards the commanders bar to get drinks, and start talking. 

Quinn doesn't really get how you're feeling, but she can see your slightly on edge, not relaxed.

"Hey, Lazaren. The battles over, we can celebrate you know."

"Hey, Lazaren. The battles over, we can celebrate you know."

 "You're right. I should be happy." He gets a can of ginger ale, and takes a drink. "Things just feel a bit... off. But, uh, don't worry about me." He smiles again.

He's going to make an Insight check as well, not just focusing on Quinn, but on the other Golds, too. 

Insight: 9

 Garagas: N/A

Cassius: Seems happy, if a bit put out that he didn't get to fight.

Antonia: Attempting to get really drunk, she seems conflicted.

Quinn: Muttering under her breath, you're not sure what she's feeling, but you get a sense that she might be telling herself that this is all just a test and that she has to get through it. She doesn't seem to like being around all these powerful golds.

Roque: Happy, reveling in social activity.

Mustang: Strangely content, she seems happy to be on the team. No one's locked her us so far, and she is on her father's fleet now.

Victra: Seems reasonably happy with how things have gone today, and is getting more talkative as more drinks are served. 

Lazaren decides to keep an eye on Quinn, but also starts talking to everyone else (just simple conversations, unless he hears anything out of the ordinary). 

The night wears on, and celebrations are made. You all find yourselves talking long into the night, getting to know each other. Bonding.

After a few hours, Quinn speaks up. "Like the people of old Earth used to say, I'm going to hit the hay."

"Yes, I think I will too." 

"Let's all get some rest then."   (I think that was Garagas's colour)

Everyone begins to walk off to their domatries, which they seem to already have claimed.

 "Night, fella's." 

Lazaren goes to find his own dormitory, sits on his bed (I'm assuming that there's a bed), and takes out his deck of cards. He starts shuffling them expertly, in fast and fanciful ways. He doesn't try to sleep, instead trying to keep his mind preoccupied. But if he falls asleep, he falls asleep, and that's that.

 The message is from Garagas. It reads:

"Hi Lazaren. Just thought I'd give you commander permissions so you get all the notifications I do, as we said we'd command this fleet together. Be ready for an influx of messages sometime in the next moments."

The info pad starts making sounds.

Tons of notifications come through, and the info pad sorts them out into files. There's 67 messages in the junk file, 84 in the systems status file, 1 in the private messages file, and one in the urgent files.

(Dang.)

Lazaren will read the private message, then the urgent, then skim through the system status, then also skim through the junk.
