It had been a quick trip from the bridge of the [i]Andromeda[/i], where Hijikata had left Cabrera in charge while he was gone and Roche was busy, to the hanger bay, passing by the shuttle that belonged to the [i]Jotunheim[/i] in the process. He had gotten aboard another Cosmo Seagull with some security personnel and was transported across the void from the Space Battleship to the vessel that they had been welcomed aboard, from the locals in this universe who weren't shooting at them. In terms of making friends, that was a good start. Arriving, Hijikata exited the craft to see a myriad of others already there or approaching, from the other nearby ships. It made the security officers he was with nervous, but there was nothing to be done about it. They were left behind to guard the ship while Hijikata moved to the conference room in which they would be meeting He took a seat on the left side, near the head of the table, in a place where he could talk, listen, and not be obstructed of view. In his navy blue Captain's uniform, he then sat back to watch, and wait for the meeting to begin. There was a variety of people entering, in different dresses and styles, such as the almost outlandish figure that entered wearing armor of all things. Then there was the small green alien, that for all appearances exuded an aura of wisdom, though that might have just been the white hair talking. Well, he didn't need to be told to do so, and he sat while the two escorts he had remained standing and unobtrusive, ready to intervene if necessary, as Hijikata looked to their hosts, wondering what they would have to say.
