Relina stood at rest, military style, near the holoprojector in the middle of the room. She listened to the Admiral speak, hearing him out. "I appreciate Ta'a Chume's swift response. I admit I didn't expect my request to be received so quickly. I trust the Ministry of Intelligence had seen the evidence and the interrogation in an investigation of their own. For this, I am grateful." she began.
She reached over to one of the controls on the table, pressing a few keys and dimming the lights slightly. A hologram appeared above the table, showing the Dammerung. "This is the Dammerung. He is protected by several layers of particle and ray shielding as well as 16 point-defense ion cannon batteries. He isn't a warship and frankly isn't very mobile, considering he is more a skyhook than a true space station, but he is capable of self-defense. The defense measures were originally in response to the rim incursions of Galactic Empire 800 years ago." She explained, pointing out the locations of the ion batteries on the skyhook's docking pylons and the super-tensile cable that tethered it to Hapes Prime. "Fortunately, these defenses were never truly challenged, thank Hera. The Empire never got past the Lorrelli Reach at the time."
"I have requested the small Royal Navy presence on board to charge private security with confining Paragon Employees to their offices and to initiate communications blackout. No one talks to the outside and no one talks to the inside apart from military channels. I have not received word of success nor failure and at this point must assume failure. The Dammerung must be secured and Tui'da Alarah Kel apprehended. I know not to what extent she is involved, or if she was involved at all, but I cannot assume innocence. If necessary, I would also recommend and request R.O.N.I. operatives to fully facilitate the seizure." she continued.
"I am expecting the worst case scenario, Admiral. We should expect some measure of resistance. I intend to fly a sortie to neutralise the Dammerung's defenses to allow the approach and invasion of Naval intelligence forces.... Secondary protocol, if you will. Certainly, however, Her Majesty will not stand for treasonous warships in her orbit... but, we MAY face fighters... new Terminus models, not unlike my own. There are such ships on board." she explained. "... This isn't going to be easy. Whatever you do, please don't break my corporate headquarters, sir. He's very expensive and very valuable to my family business. He needs only to be disarmed and unsheilded."
She would have pointed out the docking bays where military fighters existed. The skyhook was commonly used to rearm and refuel military fighters at times. Being a weapon and ship manufacturer, Paragon's holdings, when and if able, tended to support military operations.
Relina would then add the addendum of, "Meanwhile, the firedrake's nest is on the other side of the Ceres Ocean from Dimitor. I recommend the orbital insertion of advance shock troops to secure a landing zone for reinforcements." she stated, waving her hand in the hologram's projection to remove the current image and replace it with an airborne view of the city of Tanith. "The Kel Estate is this set of spires here." she added, pointing out two tallish towers with an adjoining bridge between them. "it is likely that the cityscape seen here is not quite current.... That being said, once the Dammerung is secure, I'll be returning to Gallinore to confront my enemy myself. I have been challenged and I accept." she stated with an air of subtle finality.
Her left hand gently rested on the ornate hilt of her rapier, sheathed at her left hip, as she looked between those present for comments.
