Walking back to the herald envoy vessel, Iris boarded the cruiser, returning to space. While she did have an apartment down in the capital, she still preferred the tranquility and calm of her own ship to the great hustle and bustle of the capital.
Re-entering space, a shuttle approached the cruiser to ferry Iris back onto her flagship, the kilometres-long ADF Ascended Throne. Returning to the bridge of her flagship, Iris mulled over all that had transpired today. Watching the planet from space, Iris considered the possibility of something happening.
Captain Alyssa of the Greater Nest recommends deployment of a task force onto surface of the capital. The unity's hive hind suggested. Maintenance of presence will ensure that the Corrupted do not try anything in the President's absence.
Captain Trinity of the Heliopolis objects. Such a move would be seen as a threat by the unenlightened.
Coalescent Iris believes that security is of a higher concern than the morale of the unenlightened. Iris finally chimed in. We will proceed with Captain Alyssa's suggestion. The Carrier Greater Nest, as well as Battleships Valhalla and Styx are to enter the atmosphere and hold station keeping above the capital.
The Unity will do as we have decided. the hive mind spoke once more. Breaking off from the deep space formation, the three capital ships in question slowly descended onto the surface, casting large shadows on the streets and city blocks of the capital. The message to the shadows were clear: if they appeared, the Advent would respond.
