Heading out into the ship, she sees the three disciples, and Halipha, playing cards in one of the bedrooms, the blonde inquisitor Lycere lying naked and unconscious on the bed, covered in dried cum.
Victoriana nods. "Yes, sir." Crisply, she turns to carry out his orders and resume her command.
The captain, a surprisingly young looking nobleman, turns to face Yannika. "One of Lave V's ships is hailing us. Don't worry, ma'am, they're just trying to show strength. If they meant us harm, they'd have started firing while we were unprepared."
The captain gives her a small smile in return. "Indeed. I'm to make sure that you're comfortable, so tell me if you have any requests."
(Sorry...
I actually considered fudging them in your favour, because of how poorly you've been rolling)
'I don't think it should be necessary to keep her here longer if there's nothing strange in her blood sample,' Xavier said, going closer to the machine and looking at Ulie, 'She got quite lucky. Only survivor of this mess. Her superiors wanted us to purge everyone, any suggestions on that?'
"I'm guessing that they didn't think she was worth the risk of infection, and wanted to vaporise her just to make sure." Looking at Ulie, Xavier sees her sleeping restfully, large chest rising and falling softly. "Since she's clean, I don't know if it's worth killing her any more, but that's up to you." Sana shrugs.
Halipha shrugs. "Not sure. We were introducing ourselves, and started...taking care... of the inquisitor here." The disciples chuckle. "Not sure where Alexandros went. We were a little distracted."
The captain smirks, surprised at how casual she is, and gives a bow. "I'll be back when I have some news. In the meantime, tell me if you need anything." He walks out of the room, leaving Hersillia with the single guardsman. The liquor goes down smooth, warming Hersillia's chest and giving her a pleasant buzz.
'I won't kill a guest nor one of your patients unless she's a risk to the rest of the crew,' Xavier said and then waited for Ulie to wake.
"Yes, mistress." The three young men leave the ship, heading to go contact the slaver. "So, I'm meeting the emperor, huh?" Halipha chuckles.
Ulie scratches her head. "Sorry, I don't really know. I was at my desk for hours, scanning the ships of your fleet as they approached the capital. I may have also, um, fallen asleep at one point, too." She blushes, before her eyes go wide. "Actually, now that I think about it..." She pauses. "We got a shipment of food from Byzantion station, not long before the attack happened, as your ships entered the system. It might be unrelated, but before everything went to hell on board, I heard some of those crates clattering as they toppled over. I have no way of confirming, but maybe they were in the crates?"
She finds Valleus, robes on and hood up, as the man prepares to leave. "The girl will stay with me. She will need to be taught not to disobey her superior's orders, and I'll need to make sure she keeps her mouth shut about the book."
'Hmm,' Xavier stroked his non-existent beard, 'I'll have consult the quartermaster if we received shipments like that as well. Thank you, that might be useful.'
