[b]Owen Magnus/Count Dooku[/b] As the transmission comes through, Magnus steps over to the com screen and speaks first. "This is Admiral Owen Magnus, of the Terran Dominion ship Perelliator. To whom am I speaking?" On the screen, an older man with neatly groomed grey hair and inset dark eyes, with a brown cape thrown over his shoulders appears and replies. "I am Count Dooku, I represent the Confederacy of Independent Systems. I am not familiar with this Dominion, and I don't recognize your ship's design. We detected the manner in which you entered this system, and I confess some curiosity as to who you are and where you come from." Magnus nods thoughtfully. "Let me first address the third of your statements, and tell you that we ourselves do not fully know the manner in which we've arrived here, and apologize for what must be a violation of your space. Now before we drag this communication out too far, might I suggest a proper meeting to discuss this matters in person?" Dooku nods in turn. "Indeed you might. I would be happy to invite you aboard one of my ships in orbit for such a meeting, unless you would prefer the surety of your own vessel." "I would be willing to go aboard your ship, provided I am allowed to bring a small escort." "Such is quite acceptable. I'm sending you the ship coordinates, and will await your presence with great anticipation." Magnus reaches over to the comm control. "I look forward to meeting you in person, Count Dooku." He cuts the communication. "Adjutant, tell the Ghost team to prepare for deployment, they're escorting me to this meeting. And tell them to meet me at the dropship in hanger 12." He strides quickly off the bridge. [b]Perelliator Ghosts[/b] "Ghost operatives prepare for shipboard escort mission and rendezvous at hanger 12." Two of the other Ghosts on board the Perelliator stride into the armory, grabbing their own weapons and preparing themselves for the mission, before heading to the mentioned hanger.
