"It better not be, if you like your head where it is." She turns. "Carius should be finishing his meeting soon." The dowager leaves. Not too long after, Yannika hears a knock under her bed, from the tunnel.
Yannika couldn't keep a smile from her face. Carius had her feeling like a teenager again and she quickly leapt to the switch and flipped it and peered into the tunnel as the bed moved to the side.
Yannika giggled happily and then pulled him up into her room before she threw herself against him and kissed him passionately. "What are you doing under my bed?" she asked coyly "When you should very clearly be in it."
Vizelle nods, and heads back to her headquarters. Once there, she tasks the Zhou siblings, along with Arnolf to keep operations going as usual to avoid alerting Marcus of the new management. And giving Jeryn the task of infiltrating Marcus' operations. She asks Xi Fei to lend one of her more powerful ships, which she tasks Iona with pilotting. Taking Alexandros, Halipha, Verner, and Rikkert with her.
Carius chuckles and returns the kiss, letting his tongue touch hers, before pulling back. "I'm sure we can fix that." He begins to pull off his uniform, hurrying.
The criminals signal that they'll keep up with business as usual, though Lian asks what is to be done with her mother. Xi Fei gets her a small but pretty heavily armed ship of a same model that Inquisitor Valleus used on Vizelle's first council mission, as well as sending the Zhou Family gunship, which will be transported on the freighter. As the disciples get ready, the scout master signals that the freighter is nearly ready.
"For now, your mother will be given to the men, as a way to relieve themselves. But, do keep a gag in her mouth at all times. We wouldn't want her seducing anyone with false promises." Vizelle said with a smile as they head out for the mission. She heads to meet the scout madter, "So, did your superiors give you anything to work with?" She asked, "I have a handful of skilled men, a gunship, and a heavily armed ship."
Elena decided to have Van Dorn women as guests first... She would have about two hours of fun with them, before sending them to the correction facility, for brainwashing... With that in mind, she waited for the duo at her office.
She sees the freighter being prepared for launch, when she heads to the spaceport. "Not much, to be honest. Two dozen combat mechs, and myself and two of my scouts in power armour. The mechs aren't much more than cannon fodder, their programming is very rudimentary, but they can fire a gun, and keep enemy fire from hitting us. I and my men will be much more effective, but there's only so much that three people can do. I did manage to snag some advanced scanning equipment, though."
(Where is she? The palace, the Jade Rose headquarters, or the dreadnought?) The two enter Elena's office on time, the mother in some scandalous formal attire, and the daughter in the uniform of one of the capital's most elite academies. "Hmmph..." The daughter grins. "Couldn't wait for some more, eh, slut?" Both women are well into the first stage of indoctrination, but they still retain their haughty, aristocratic demeanor.
"Well, that's fine. Now we simply need to think of a plan." Vizelle cooed, wondering if she and her disciples would be able to work together to cover the ship in a psionic barrier. "Very well. First, we will try and run some scans. But from, what we already know. That would prove futile. So, we will first enter the planet's athmosphere. That should allow me to do some scans of my own. You did say they only disappeared once they landed, correct?"
Vizelle knows that such barriers are absolutely possible. The shield's strength will depend on how well they do psionically. The scout master nods. "Yes, that's correct. We got some transmissions from them while they were descending. Just routine check in stuff, they didn't report anything of interest."
"Wonderful. Then, my disciples with concentrate on putting up the barrier, while I use my psionics to scan the area." Vizelle nods, before sending a telepathic message to her disciples. The four of you, work on attuning your wavelengths. You will be putting up a barrier that spans the whole freight ship. She then looks at the scout master, "Hmm. As much as I want to formulate a plan now. Without much to go on, I can only guess. So, shall we head out?"
{dreadnought - manned by the indoctrinated Jade Order} Elena smiled. "Indeed. There are a couple of things to do, but first, a pleasure." She waved her hand to the shelf, in which various sex toys and strap-ons were lying. "We have about two hours before we will have to get to business." Of course, she had her quarters monitored by loyal servants - just in case.
The disciples signal that they'll do as asked. "Yes, once your gunship is loaded up onto the freighter..." She looks up, seeing the craft being moved via crane. "There we go." Inside the freighter, she sees that it's mainly a huge, empty cargo hold, besides the gunship, and twenty or so inert combat mechs. Waiting are two blue skinned aliens from the same race as one of Vizelle's fellow councilors, the other scouts, not presently wearing their power armour. The freighter begins to lift up into the atmosphere.
"Business?" Lady Van Dorn chuckles. "I wonder what you have in mind, whore. It doesn't matter, we'll get to that." She picks out a large dildo to start with, as her daughter begins to rub herself against Elena's body.
Before they lift off, Vizelle asks if Iona can opperate the ship, along with the crew Xi Fei gave them. And if the former spy gives a positive reply, the sorceress tasks her with tailing them. "Follow us, but keep a close eye on the surrounding, especially once we enter approach the planet." She said with a confident smile. Once they lift off, she asks the scout master how long the flight would take. After that, she goes to help her disciples perfectly attune their wavelenghts together.
Iona nods, stating that it's a standard model, with generic controls that should be easy to pilot and man. The scout master replies, stating that the trip took the previous scout party three weeks. Heading down, she sees the disciples using their psionics together, though Jeryn and Alexandros in particular are having trouble attuning with one another.
(REALLY not happy with how this post turned out – it just feels off, even after spending over 40 minutes writing and rewriting it.) Even Eanne was surprised by her success. I guess I don't need to bring up any of the other arguments I had prepared... “I'm... happy to see that you are so reasonable...” She smiled at the woman, before adding “Perhaps later, in a few months time, when things around the empire are a bit more calm, you could... make a demonstration for the emperor and try to convince him to support your project with money and resources.” “In any case thank you for your time, professor. I guess we're done here, unless there's anything else you need from me or want to show me.”
