The arrival of their mobile cloning ship, the Supercarrier-class ship [i]Redemption[/i], had just nearly caused Supreme Commander Jason to have a heart attack, but the news brought cheers of hope from the crew as it spread. With the [i]Redemption[/i], clone troops could be replaced and, to some degree, weapons and armor produced to prepare those newly grown clones for combat. However, operations had been put on standby until a decision could be reached on the best way to move forwards and the crews of both ships could do little more than sit at their stations or in their bunks, worry etched on their faces as their leader went to the [i]Immaculate Aegis[/i] to decide the best way to bring the fight to Anubis.

The halls of the Sangheili’s ship were strikingly different from those of both the [i]Resurgence[/i] and the Star Destroyers that they had all boarded and fought on numerous times. Curves instead of right angles, it almost seemed to offer no cover if one didn’t know how to optimize on the shapes. Eragon made notes of intersections, guards, patrols that they crossed paths with more than once, even where all the tech savvy ones seemed to be working hardest when they passed them, but, after all, that was what he did best as a Null-Class trooper.

On more than one occasion as they neared the meeting room, Jason had to chastise him as Jerus walked silently in his Beskar armor, his helmet tucked under his arm. Upon arriving in the room, the bounty hunting Jedi went to the left and leaned against a wall, silent in a way that was surprising considering his seeming chattiness after their first battle and even during. Jason joined Falul at the central display, Eragon to his left and still appraising everything. The Supreme Commander had tried numerous times to convince Kham to come as well, but the Cathar was determined to figure out how their shipyard had worked, so his head scientist and engineer was absent this time.

As the silence stretched, Eragon eventually turned his gaze on the Shipmaster himself and raised an eyebrow as he thought over the physical appearance of this new ally. [i]Tall, well built muscles noticeable even from here, a glint in his eye that speaks of both experience and presence and a strange weapon hilt on his belt. Head on would be a poor…[/i] The thought trailed on as Jason cleared his throat. “So, what do your officers think of the threat the Death Star poses?”
