Synopsis=
A drydock is occupied by a giant dreadnought being prepared to depart. It's watched by Raavii and Daali as they wait for the preparations to finish. They discuss about that they will bring few groups of agents. Before going to meetup their two first agents, Z'jep and Nijkkas. They explore the dark view of the city and the slightly hostile environment.

When finally meeting up the two agents. They learn that Z'jep is a militaristic agent who takes everything in a calm manner. Nijkkas being an avid intelligence and tech operator. Raavii non-purposely rustles Nijkkas's jimmies by the fact of being a newbie. Which Daali endorses her for that.

Full story=
Drydock C-4 was occupied by a giant dreadnought. Along with it, more or less bigger and smaller ships were docked in a lane. Naakjian drydocks are simply docks for starships, but it was protected by an isolating gravity shield. Because who knows whenever would a ship bring in something dangerous unnoticed? The scanning technology can detect anything but few forms of radiation. Using a scrambler would make the results blurry, it would trigger same alarm as for intruders. However, the scrambling causes the results not to tell what is actually causing them and what's hiding in them. Naakjians doesn't like to take risks and often go by the safest say as determinated by themselves. The isolation shields does the job to quarantine the area. And to eradicate unwanted objects, anything that fail to merge with the shielding on the hull of docking ships. There's only few exits, which can be easily controlled by armed forces from outside. ''Better safe than sorry.''

The dreadnought would be commanded by Raavii, whom watched on the ship in the drydock from a high building, which was the terminal. She had few parts of her thickest armor equipped, mainly the legs and the torso. Nothing else but a personal gauntlet, those have a long, razor-sharp blade folded in, on her right arm. She had a big courier bag, in a fashion similar to a golf bag in the from. Those are typically used by the military to easily carry munition to the battle, those were often made of gummy and metal. Raavii wasn't alone, a person who was both literally and mighty higher than her. Overseer Daali stood next to her, watching on the same ship. Considering that she will also command it and from there. But the ship command was left up to Raavii.. Daali was wearing in same fashion as Raavii. The difference though was she is wearing an armor type issued to ranks higher than Raavii whom was a sub-commander. 

*'''Daali''' - ''You know that we are going to bring some guests from NIA with us?''
*'''Raavii''' - ''Mhm?''
*'''Daali''' - ''Some of the agents will be moving independently, but hidden from any society but us. They can may contact us and our allies whenever they need too.''
*'''Raavii''' - ''Like the "[[creature:kicath|Kij'cas'n]]" agents, huh?''

Daali frowned upon the comparison between themselves and the Kicath. But it wasn't deniable.

*'''Daali''' - ''More or less, but not the whole point. We are also able to order or tell them to what to do. As long it's possible on their part.''

The pair was quiet for a certain amount of time. The dreadnought outside was being supplied with help of small dots, what should resemble cargo tiers and forklift-like vehicles. Long lines as caterpillars carrying cargo. Those caterpillars are like trains. Trains with or without wheels, but what they did mutual was, copying it's leader, always driving in it's path. More fexible than a regular lorry truck. Those pillars were typically trucks leading a long line of cargo wagons, copying their leading trucks. It was a lot satisfying to watch the small lively objects, just like ants building a new colony. ''A Mother-colony breeding smaller colonies, those were capable to move themselves.'' Such a satisfying thought.

*'''Raavii''' - ''I wonder what it's like in Cyrannus. Apart from that "ihs'vsa" that we are going step ourselves in. I wonder how the hole will turn into when we enrule those premies.''
*'''Daali''' - ''They will probably fear us, more or less. Some may view us as lesser of a great evil.''
*<slience>
*'''Daali''' - ''Pretty alot of mixed views, but one thing is clear, and obvious. We'll be powerfuller.''

Raavii and Daali, they both giggle and smile. Raavii's giggle was in an egoistic tone. Racial egoism is a typical sign on extreme xenophobia and racial centrism combined with patriotism. But the tone disappeared shortly as she knew that they can't be the most powerful, but still be very powerful. They mean very serious business. Whatever Naakji says, does and what they are going to do, are no jokes.

And here they were standing. Raavii was still looking outside, though not at the drydock. She was watching anything else, ships and aircraft flying between the towering buildings decorating the view over the city. High mountains that raises in the background. It's quite dark outside, as it's the time of the year. Clouds are tightly packed in the sky. Fog is densely pressured on the ground. Though the Vejlla's lights penetrate the thick fog, illuminating the sky above the city and it's spread across the landscape as the light is bent to every directions in the clouds. Lit cities in this period of time look very much like a very powerful thunderstorm when viewed from space.

In a distance, a very tall tower emerged from a valley between two high hills. It had 4 lights blinking in a pattern, placed in a column. The top one was colored strongly orange, rest was cyan-white. The top lit first, then the 3 bottom, then gone. And so on. Those towers had multiple roles. A powerlink node transmitting information, beams of ionized energy and aswell far-traveling signals through a network scattered across the planet. Raavii could see another node far away, but the blinking was faint because of the distance and fog foaming under the thick clouds. Thick atmosphere would give a storm with a thickness spanning several tens of kilometers, which would result in very violent thunderstorms. Luckily thought that it's recorded that the storm won't be that violent, they were protected by those high nodes as lighting conductors. 

*'''Daali''' - ''I think it's time to meet up our NIA agents, we got alot to talk.''

Raavii straightens herself and nods. They both go through the terminal lounge to the other end of the room. Where they meet two agents sitting on lounge seats. They have thinner armor than what Raavii and Daali wears. The agents have their lower body fully covered, leaving the rest but the chest uncovered. Their metallic vests have the NIA insignia. Upon arriving them, Daali relaxingly leaves her bag hanging on her shoulder and crosses her arms. Raavii appears from behind her, she inspects the two agents closely. One of them is coming from a planet with militaristic culture. Because he has war painting on his face in yellow, black and white. He sat very relaxingly, head resting on the back support with his legs and tail laid out across the floor. A careless and clam type. The other one seemed to be active, he was firmly browsed through his service tablet issued by the agency, for communication and mission intelligence. He sat with more care than the militaristic agent did. Raavii could judge him as a careful but avid type.

*'''Daali''' - ''It could been nice if we get to know each other before we start.''

The "lazy" agent straightened himself on the lounge chair.

*'''Agent''' - ''You must be Daali, d'iv?''
*'''Daali''' - ''Yes. My accompanist is Raavii.''

Raavii steps more aside to Daali. Standing with the same settled pose as her.

*'''Z'jep''' - ''Z'jep is the name.''

The other agent realizes that it's his turn. Without giving away the fixture on his tablet he says:

*'''Nijkkas''' - ''Mine is Nijkkas.''
*<awkward silence>
*'''Nijkkas''' - ''I- I do the technical work, equipment checks, intelligence and hacking.''
*'''Raavii''' - ''Freshie?''

Nijkkas was left mute and immobile by the question. Daali lift her head, showing that she has control and is mainly excepting good news. Nijkkas noticed that, he lift down his head in shame. Daali returned to normal.

*'''Daali''' - ''Jut don't let yourself down. We are not that kind.''

Nijkkas was enlightened, trying to smile. But the smile is instead overflowed by the shame being a newbie, letting himself down. 

*'''Daali''' - ''It's time to go, see you all on the bridge later.''

<later>

Raavii and Daali is walking through the giant bay towards to their ship. Daali lays an arm on Raavii and drags her closer to herself. Daali whispers something in Raavii's ears. Which makes Raavii full of eager.

*'''Daali''' - ''You'll be a hell of an oniunsre.''
