[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7033523, member: 79141"] [b]Reboot Session 1 (or Session 124) - SCENE TWO[/b] Ensign Gupta Porras passes through a teleportation circle to Banhaman Academy, where she is met by Lauren Cyneburg. Although she has an acerbic reputation, Cyneburg is both complementary and courteous to the young officer - approving of her style of dress for the mission in hand: the Ensign now sports a hooded jacket, rapier and sidearm, and a checkered Panoply scarf. The pair travel by carriage across the Great Delve River and, while Cyneburg talks, the Ensign takes in Slate: sedate, almost torpid by comparison with Flint but altogether more beautiful and more clean. The carriage duly arrives at RHC national headquarters and the women soon find themselves in an ornate conference room, where three figures await: Lord Viscount Nigel Price-Hill, Principal Minister Harkover Lee, and a third, younger man who stands some distance away and goes without introduction. Ensign Porras notices a frisson of disapproval as Cyneburg registers his presence, and feels his altogether more approving gaze upon her. [B] N P-H:[/B] Thank you for joining us, Ensign Porras.
