Outpost Alpha-832

[Rhoden Carbine]

The Admiral remained largely silent after the initial tour of the operations decks. Rhoden lead them through the biodomes, the holographic areas, the mess hall, down and through the various other areas, both recreational and functional, finally the group crossed the impressive promenade into the science areas. Rhoden could tell there was less interest here, for whatever reason that might be, and concluded the tour quickly.

The group marched into the main briefing room with enough chairs for the senior staff and then some. The room, in keeping in line with the rest of the station, was carpeted, well appointed, and had an impressive view of surrounding space. Rhoden took his seat, straightening his dress uniform, and smiled at the Grand Admiral's praise.

"Thank you, sir." he said, "I would invite you to remain here for a few standard rotations, if you've no pressing business, anything that can be conducted over the holonet can be securely managed from here, I assure you." Rhoden glanced to Commander Kaon who spoke up, "Our guest quarters are well appointed and all of our facilities would be at your disposal." he said.

Rhoden was being courteous, after all, why should he enjoy the station and the Grand Admiral fly off on his various time-consuming duties. There was another benefit, that being Rhoden's potentially finding time to lobby expanding the Task Force due to their newfound ability to service ships. If the Admiral declined, Rhoden lost nothing except perhaps some company, if he accepted he'd find some well-earned rest and relaxation at his fingertips and Rhoden would have some time to politely bring up various topics should the opportunity present itself.

Rhoden's glance flicked over to the Grand Inquisitor, "You would be welcome to, ma'am." he said, not entirely truthfully, but her presence would be of no concern. Besides, it would do them both well to learn to get along with some semblance of civility.

[Lady Kota]

"Safety measures are up held at this moment though the costs haven't bore the fruits promised, though I fail to understand why someone as arrogant is in charge." She said to Argus before stepping out to the decks. Kota followed in stride with the grand admiral to the briefing room. She made sure to take notice of everything and everyone. If there was an emergency she would have to act fast.

When Carbine invited her in she could tell he was lying through his face expression. She just stepped in without saying a word. Simply put she was Argus's guard should he need one and with to many unknowns with this project an accident could happen. Kota didn't trust this commander and his arrogance towards her would not change her mind soon.
