If Banha had eyebrows, they would definitely be raised at the situation playing before him. The scientist, Rivard if he recalled correctly, responded with a barrage of questions for a simple conversation starter. The idea of his sword being only [i]ceremonial[/i] was slightly true, no New Yakuza member uses physical swords in battle. They used Omni-Shinken's, incredibly sharp and deadly blades drawn from their Omni-tool. This was a simple training sword, though it was also made up of advanced material. Still, a blunted sword was good for bonking people on the head.

Before the Batarian could respond however, he felt his soldier senses tingling and immediately went for his pistol. The scientist next to him drew his sword, a large blade that looked disproportionate in his hands. He looked skilled with it however and didn't doubt the scientist's skill with it. The sound, that made his soldier sense tingle, was from a tumbling chibi reptilian, followed by that human from yesterday. 'Darren was it?' The alien shrugged inwardly, there were too many damn humans in Nova's Alliance.

Banha eyed the lizard with a look, his personality seemed to be relatively normal, not like it's chibified compatriots. But sensible Lizard or not, it was still his soldier. And his soldiers did not bite other people's hands. "Soldier!" The Grand Leader gave the reptilian with an icy glare, four eyes focusing on him. "When I gave you free reign to go around, I do not expect you to go around and bite people's hands off!" He pointed at Darven's hand with his pistol as it regret in moments. "There was a bloody reason why Nova-sama turned your peers into fanatics and your indifference to eating other intelligent beings was one of them! Don't repeat this again, or I'll ask for Nova-sama to change you into one of [i]them[/i]." He put influence on the last word, letting it hang in the air.

He was being merciful towards the Lizard, any normal military man would immediately tell their superior. Banha pitied the cannon fodder (that was what they essentially were), he saw what chibification did to you. Before the Yakuza could comment on Darven's incredible healing powers, Nova reached out to him. "[color=wheat][b]Speak to Ruiko in the Imperial Fortress. She will inform you of a new mission I would like for you to to participate in. Absolis, you may have a personal interest in this particular case, which is why your presence is requested.[/b][/color]" 

The Batarian eyed Rivard before thinking 'A mission? When do we get deployed? I need to get to the armoury!' before dismissing the thoughts. This was probably just a simple briefing but it was slightly odd for Banha to go. As the leader of the Yakuza, it would make more sense for the Krogan twins to go. But it excited the four-eyed alien all the same, it was going to be good to be in a firefight again. He could appoint Varhak to lead for now, he's almost completely healed and could still lead.

Banha turned to the other pair. "Rivard and I are needed in the palace for a mission. Darven can come along to watch or something but I doubt Nova would allow it. Soldier, I expect you to report to R&D for the custom armour, I also order you to equip the rest of your peers with such armour. No weapons however, I'm not sure that you and the rest are ready for such things." This was mostly due to the fact that the incompetence of the others may result in accidents.

The Supreme Grand Leader gestured for Rivard to come with him, turning around and walking towards the Palace.
