The shuttle bearing Maximus Alvinius and Len Iode arrived on time, as expected. The pilots of Tython Squadron stood erect, at attention, in two neat rows. Behind them were the battered and damaged fighter craft left unceremoniously on the deck. Mauro Wynter and Silvia Tanos walked briskly to meet the Director and Executor of Satele Shan.

“Gentlemen, thank you for coming under such…circumstances.” Wynter said slowly. Len Iode and Silvia Tanos locked eyes, uneasily as they were about the preceding events. Maximus waved him off. “Nonsense, why one of our units goes rogue on an unsanctioned mission and greatly veers from the rules of engagement I believe coming to pay a visit is in order.” Maximus and Wynter locked arms, in a friendly embrace that came naturally after years and wars shared together.

Len Iode, matter of fact and disciplined as always was quick to interject, Tanos nodded, agreeing with the Chiss’ assessment. “We have little time it appears, Wynter you informed us that you had some very delicate information for our ears only, shall we dismiss Tython?” he asked politely although all parties knew it was more of a command than a suggestion.

The human nodded to Tanos, who dismissed the pilots back to their stations. The four remained alone on the flight deck. The discussion began in earnest. “Sirs, as you may know Arconan territory has been assaulted by mercenary forces. The smuggling efforts and stolen ships from Kiast appear to be a linked event. We gained credible intelligence that the Maelstrom Corsairs are in league with the mercenaries that hit Arcona.” He paused, collecting his thoughts and trying to be succinct. “Furthermore, these forces are being paid by the Inquisitorius and equipped by elements of the Shipwright’s Guild.”
