Dallion leaves the party to there discussion and raps on the door to Thraxus' room.
"Sir, you have a meeting this morning. You should break your fast before going to meet with them."
Bromidus, meanwhile, is looking at the tube brought in with the Data Slate. He spins it around in his hand...
In the morning the party finds that Alfred has prepared them some breakfast down in the kitchen. Bromidus and Dallion are there eating and discussing what to do in the near future. Dallion receives a message over his microbead communicator and stops the conversation.
"It appears there is a...
Jonquin extends his hand to shake Thraxus'.
"That is fine, I hope you will be able to attend to sooner rather than later. But it's good to know someone will be working towards finding the planet. I will have one of my men send you all the information you need in the morning."

Once the Naval officers leave the rest of the table goes back to whatever small talk they were making earlier. The dinner drags on for another hour or so. Most people avoid conversation with the party.
After the dessert course the Administrator excuses himself, citing some pressing business...
There is a look of indignation on the Officer's face as Zander and Mordekai are speaking. When Zander speaks of a Space Hulk the officer speaks up.
"Listen to them talk about blasphemous things in polite company! No respect for Imperial society!"
The Officer stands up quickly as if to say...
Artorias looks at little perturbed at Bannock's statements.
"Our civil war ended only 15 years ago. I don't know what you've seen, but as a young acolyte I saw what the people of Dassen did to each other in the name of their lords. That wound has not yet fully healed. Some people don't want...
Artorias nods at Balan. He puts his hands behind his back as he speaks.
"Dassen is nine independent states that were unified under the king fifteen years ago. It is ruled by the Council of Nine. The council decides all major matters in the country. Each Lord or Lady from each state has one...
After Balan finishes speaking the man introduced as Artorias lifts himself up from the map and moves closer to the conversation.
"We know what would happen and that's why we must succeed. The Ragesians must be stopped!
He makes a half bow in the direction of the party.
"Gentlemen it is an...
The officer has a look of pure disgust as Mordeaki speaks.
"Pfft, as if you and your companions sit on the same level as those in the service of the Imperial Navy! You are nothing better than brigands! Prancing about the Imperium and the Expanse in your pirate vessel. Oh we know the previous...
Jonquin raises his eyebrow as he hears Thraxus' counter offer.
"I don't think I'll have to wait until dessert to decide. 30% it is or you'll receive no support from my operations. I am saving you time and money by giving you access to my facilities. I don't mind giving assistance to those...
"I've been through the Maw at least ten times. Jonquin has many holdings out in the Expanse and he likes to make regular visits. The warp routes in the expanse haven't been that well mapped out yet. There is a lot of potential to discover new places and routes. But as you can imagine it can...
The Navigator raises his head a bit so that Macharius can see his eyes. They look like a regular human's eyes would. He gives Macharius another toothy grin.
"You make a valid point. I assume this turn you're taking now will lead to the Koronus Expanse? Is this your first time into the Maw...
Mordekai you hear some Naval Officers talking about some pirate attacks that have been occurring in the Maw itself, specifically near places called "The Temple" and "Witch-Cursed World".

Zander you also overhear the conversation about the pirates attacking in The Maw. You also...
