“A gateway can link to any other gateway of the same class. It should be no trouble to send the science team through just ahead of the object.” Roth’Orsa answered Freyr without actually looking at her. 

With their agreement having been essentially reached, there was nothing else earthshattering to discuss for the remainder of the meeting. There were a few matters that they discussed, mostly involving setting up a tentative schedule for meetings between certain important individuals to iron out the more minute details of their cooperation. For that, Roth’Orsa finally started to allow the other Rothian leaders to speak for themselves. 

When the last of the screens finally went dark and the Rothian representatives started to take their leave, Vreta finally felt he could breathe a sigh of relief. All-in-all, everything went mostly as well as he could have hoped. They finally had official terms for full cooperation on this project, and not a moment too soon, in his mind. With everything they had learned about these objects and potential threats ahead, they could not afford to be tearing each other apart. 

Vreta expected Roth’Orsa to take her leave quickly, but instead of heading back through the doors, she and her guards instead got up and started moving across the room…straight in his direction. At first, he wondered if there was something the Rahn’Saki wanted of him, but it only took a few moments for him to realize that it was not he who she had her eyes on. He was sitting next to Freyr, and it was she who Roth’Orsa was approaching. “Dr. Freyr Lang. We would speak to you. In private.”
