Iyal ducks her head in an appreciative bow, stepping away to chat with the officers, who are themselves discussing where to set up camp. In essence, the hovercraft is too cramped, so instead, they will set up in a Thornton warehouse nearby.
You spend the downtime making small-talk with Emma and playing with Mitch. William is inspecting his soldiers in the other cargo container, and technicians scurry around to adjust various reactors. Weapons are checked, more out of habit than necessity. Iyal comes, and Emma hands over a large wad of bills from her breast-pocket. You watch the Outlander after that, as she checks several las-rifles in easy-carry black cases, as well as a variety of grenades and explosive devices.
She -is- very well trained.It isn't long before the ship begins to land, the three hours passing uneventfully. And you emerge into the suburbs of the Holy City. William speaks with a shifty shipmaster, bills exchanging hands, as the vehicle is stamped into registration. The Warmachines begin to unload into a space below the ship. You depart from the same area, stepping into the city. Emma and an unmodified Thornton accompany you, while William takes care of organizing the Warmachines.
And by that, you mean he leans on a post, metallic arms crossed over his chest while he watches them work.
You walk through the suburbs, past beggars, soot-stained laborers, and gang members. No one bothers you. You cross into the Outer City. From there, its a ride on one of those slow-moving hovercraft to the walls of the Inner City-- where a young Guardian challenges you.
Emma presents her credentials, and the Guardian goes wide-eyed, bowing at the hips to you while apologizing profusely. It isn't that much further to the Grand Cathedral Plaza. Guardians positioned at the entrance to the Cathedral await you, and one breaks away to request an audience with the Pontifex for you. It's a quiet, tense few minutes until you're allowed entry into the Cathedral.
The architecture is much the same as it was before you left, only emptier. Guards stand at intervals, and the Pontifex sits upon the altar of SEED, a mask of a smile on his lips. He gestures you into his office and shuts the door behind you. "What can I do for Sister Alphira today, hmm?"
