Dialectical Hermeticist
Liberator-Class Cruiser Wisdom Like Silence
Kelijak Orbit
The vast hangar is lit dimly by emergency lights like distant stars. Children clamber over landers and drift between terminals, talking in low, clipped tones. A column of Sanjaya's Children clatter over the deckplates, magnetic claw-sheathes allowing them to keep out of the way of their floating cousins. They are boarding a lander, soon to descend to the surface and begin a march to a location the natives call 'The Tomb.'
Juka Manuya Vimala is already waiting with her clade, on the planet's surface.
Juka Yamyana Sanjaya and Juka Saraya Circe are yet to board and fly down, watching the troops go while in counsel with Juka Keyu Prim, commander of this vessel.
She drifts in lazy orbits around Sanjaya's impressive bulk, wings beating periodically, holding a tablet in one of her feet. She holds out the device, flashing with diagrams, so that her cousins can see. "The Dusters have a functioning orbital defence array on this elliptical," she explains, with signature langour, "so your only extraction volumes will be at the meridians given to your support staff at the appointed times. Barring unforeseen consequences," she grins. "There's a Consortium cube lurking around the north pole but we don't anticipate their interference."
