"You say i should command this ship. But i won't, and i won't!", protested the Temer while facing the honored Ytreath's Jarl Cyrrac of Ceteral.

"Look, why turn down a huge honor that is presented in marvelous display, right outside the window to your left? Five times we have tried to find a willing captain for this vessel, and five times it has been turned down. There's no indoctrination, and the once labyrinth-like rooms are corrected to the standard geometries. I don't understand." Cyrrac paused and made a grunting noise. "Strangely, many captains are wishing they have took the opportunity for this one. Is this some sort of reverse indoctrination?"

"Like i said, no means no! I don't want to be seen as an ancient enemy!" The reluctant Temer left the room.

"Next command graduate!"

A Ceteral, who looked more enthusiastic than the others previously in line, entered the room. Of course, just as his expressions were, so did his response to the offer, with the words of "Is it mine now?"

"Yes, if you could just accept this offer and not be like the others who just declined left for strange reasons... anyway it's probably because they expect great responsibility for commanding this Marros, but fortunately i remembered to remind you now: it's the same as heading a Corvette. Except, expect a general to be housed inside because this is a capital ship class. But then again, taking his orders from inside is the same as taking orders from outside. Don't be nervous, Stagor doesn't bite. Just be careful not to... utter things about his wife."

"So, now i accept. What now?"

"Good. Glad this is straightened out. Take the Oath, and you're ready to fly out. Of course, in the coming days you'll be assigned a mission to pick up General Stagor, so enjoy the time while it lasts. Now, back to the oath."

"I..."

"I..."

"State your name.."

"Voldran Eritius VII of Ceteral..."

"with unswerving loyalty to Emperor Synod Artel of Temer..."

"with unswerving loyalty to Emperor Synod Artel of Temer.."

"abides to the laws and principles of the Ktaroch Empire..."

"abides to the laws and principles of the Ktaroch Empire..."

"and hereby obeys the orders of the higher personnel for the greater good."

"and hereby obeys the orders of the higher personnel for the greater good."

"May the Ktaroch remain fruitful, prosperous in all of its days, and may it live long!"

"May the Ktaroch remain fruitful, prosperous in all of its days, and may it live long!"

"Congratulations, you are now the first captain of the Marros Class. Remember that yours is still experimental, so come back to me when you need your ship to be fitted in order to match with the later improvements. That'll be free, unlike further customizations. You may now take your leave and look around you very own vessel." The Jarl stood, and so did Voltran. The man left, while the Jarl waited in the room to expect a certain visitor.

"How fares the recruiting?", said the Temer Stagor as he walked in.

"A bit difficult, to say. But General, at least we've found someone who might be confident in his duty. But i've left out another important detail there..."

"What is it?"

"I didn't say he'll be going to be in an expedition mission after he picks you up soon. Do a favor for me and tell him this when Voltran pick you up, shall you?"

"For a Jarl to order around a General... but it's a favor, so i'll let this off."
