Still asleep, Sextia clings to Vladimir's form, unwilling to let go, but he can easily shake her off. Armoured up, he's able to head off, passing
warriors in the hall who nod their heads to their commander in respect, and regular human crew members who look up at his towering figure with awe and fear.
On the bridge, Admiral Artax welcomes Vladimir up to the command center, and beside her stands Mother Selene, who bows to the Eternal Warrior and gives him a matronly smile.
Artax speaks first. "I've diverted some destroyers to the signal. There are no warriors aboard them, so they won't interfere with your rendezvous." Selene looks up at Vladimir. "I beg pardon for the disruption, my lord. I had a vision that indicated that the ship's distress might be demonic in nature."
"It should be just under a week before we reach the capital, Lord Noctis." Artax says, looking at the screens of her subordinates to make sure that everything is running optimally.
