The Lieutenant Colonel raised his fist: the typical Ryccian military salute. He then began to speak.

"Lieutenant Colonel Cornelius Valius Petrus Colter Filzix, commanding officer of the 21st Stormtrooper Infantry Batallion. Pleased to meet you. We must inspect the ship as per protocol to ensure our safety. Please understand"

The officer then turned to his soldiers and barked orders.

"Listen up! Teams of five shall enter the Drakari vessel and commence a thorough inspection! 200 soldiers in total shall enter! Line up, now!"

The soldiers did as instructed, and began to enter the ship in groups of five. He then beckoned to two Stormtroopers.

"You two, with me"

"Ms. Natalis, was it? I must ask for your cooperation. Please, do explain your presence here in detail, posthaste"
