Emerging from hyper speed, one of U.o.K’s competent members set course for Testharia. Aria Fujimara was ordered by Lord Veyron himself to arrange outposts on planet side for Dark Intrinium soldiers. However, Aria wasn’t so pleased with how Testharians played around with security. “Damn Testharians and their obnoxious security measures.” She was using one of the many personal fighters of Dark Intrinium. Her own one. As she reached Testharia within orbital range, she would activate her communication radio, connecting to the space station. “This is Second Follower – Aria Fujimara. I request a landing within Tristate City.” She spoke over the communication radio towards Dankasho for permission. After about 20 seconds of waiting, she received a return message. “Hello, Aria Fujimara. State your purpose for the visit.” “I was sent here on behalf of Dark Intrinium. My purpose of this visit is to only be discussed within higher-ranked officials.” She slowed her fighter down until she was given permission. .:. Like you would want to know. .:. The communication officer responded harshly and didn’t lift the barrier. “Unfortunately, without a proper reason, we cannot allow you access to Testharia. Properly disclose your reason and we shall lift the barrier.” “Huh?” Aria was confused. They were in an alliance with Dark Intrinium. Surely their own aircrafts would be given direct access. Something fishy was going on, and Aria knew that. “I’m sorry? I do believe that Dark Intrinium is allied with the Mobilizers of Testharia. Any information for the reason and such is rightfully disclosed at the higher ranks. Do you understand that?” “As per our security measure, your purpose of the visit is directly radioed to the Royal Family. They will know of your visit.” The communications officer didn’t stop. “Why keep me here, officer? Is there a termination notice that we do not know of, and we are not allowed direct access anymore?” Aria Fujimara asked with a strong voice. After about 10 seconds of radio silence, the officer responded to her last statement. “This is a security protocol that every visitor must go through, with or without a governmental alliance in place. As I said, without a proper disclosure of your stay is hostile behaviour, and shall you enter with force, you will be arrested immediately upon landing. We apologize on behalf of our Dankasho militants and Testharian Royal Forces for our strict rules.” .:. What a golden retriever... .:. “If that’s how it will be then I have no other choice.” She sighed. “My purpose of the visit is to meet the Great Kamisword. To discuss our continuation on how to deal with conflicting trade power.” The communications officer quickly routed whatever she said through the personal radio, which connected directly to the radio on the 128th Floor of the Eria Tower. Then, the barrier was lifted, and Aria was granted passage, before saying the words: “Welcome to Testharia.” “Right.” She would speed her fighter down through the lifted barrier, and towards the atmosphere of Testharia. = = = Mikael sat in the room assigned to the Star Gazers Squad, having little interest to explore the city and instead preferring to just wait until he came home. He read a guide on Testharian culture – wanting to not cause offense in the event he ever did leave. The long ride to the planet had somewhat soured his expectations of it. The planet, while impressive, looked rather boring to him. Being nothing but gleaming skyscrapers or small towns, it was really just a billionaire’s dream instead of a commoner’s issue. The fact they had been aligned with Dark Intrinium, however short, affected this too. Nanasu was sleeping on the big bed to fight her slothful nature. Having only slept about 14 hours in 3 days, she was really desperate to get some shut eye in before they left. Her tiredness and boredom were further exacerbated by Mikael’s annoyance and Claude’s hyperactive nature. She didn’t quite fit in, but she was a good addition to
