Vulkan System, Triarch owned space: 2:34PM Triarch Head Fortress
John Triarch sat reviewing the latest mining reports from the locally discovered systems, they had been miraculously good in what they had found, tonnes upon tonnes of raw materials and precious metals had been discovered untouched and ready to mine. These new deposits would make a great addition to Triarchs growing economy and market. Already Triarch was raking in money as other nations were purchasing their goods, weapons and also their services. It seemed more nations were turning up everyday and Triarchs services as mercenaries were being hired out ever more frequently. As John finished signing the holopad to begin the mining operations one of the fortress commanders walked in, his dark grey uniform was adorned by a few medals and his uniform cap displayed the 3 triangle symbol associated with Triarch. The man walked into the room as if almost marching, precise and heavily trained the man was Triarchs chief commander, when not commanding the fleet he was observing the main fortress, his name was Destro Sean and he was one of Johns most trusted men. Destro walked straight up to Johns desk, saluted and began to speak.
“Sir, sensors just picked up a small fleet entering the system, they are communicating to us requesting a meeting with you, they wish to discuss a potential large scale buy of military grade material” Destro said straight to the point, his eyes didn’t move from straight in front of him. John nodded and replied.
“Do we know who they are?” John was also in a uniform very similar to Destro, though was slightly more elaborate in design. His short black hair and glaring red eyes betrayed a gene enhanced background. John had once been a very different man, however business came first. Destro nodded.
“Sir they appear to be from Capitol” John laughed.
“Capitol? I haven’t seen their likes for a long time... so they want to make a purchase eh? Interesting... I wonder how this venture will go” John said leaning back behind his desk and thinking of the time a long long time ago when he was fighting Capitol forces on the ground... back in the days when he wore the typical blue outfit of the Union of Worlds.
“I can have them removed from the system Sir, a strike fleet has been assembled around the Dreadnought Quetzaquotle” John shook his head.
“No I want to hear what they have to say” Destro merely saluted and turned on the spot. He marched out again with clinically trained precision. John merely smiled, he looked forward to the coming meeting.

The Capitol fleet was small, very rare for Capitol. They were arrayed in a defensive formation, the fleet only numbered around 25 ships, mostly escorts and destroyers but typical of Capitol the flagship was a battleship, if only to show off their power. The Triarch fleet, far outnumbering that of Capitol escorted them to the orbit of the main world in the system, surrounded by numerous ships, defence stations and a dreadnought was enough to put off any sort of foul play for the start of a business venture. The Capitol forces had been sent here to procure a military contract deal, with numerous arms and armour to be purchased from Triarch to boost the Capitol armoury.
As the ships lay at high anchor a shuttle was sent down from the battleship to the massive fortress complex below. Escorted by 2 entire fighter wings and tracked by the combined total of over ten thousand defensive guns the shuttle had little hope of even surviving more than a millisecond if it made even the slightest incorrect course correction. Triarch liked to take no chances. A massive set of retractable doors pulled back to reveal a huge hangar, the shuttle landed inside and a full company of power armoured soldiers met it with caution. Before them stood Destro in full combat gear and John Triarch in his formal uniform. Destro towered over John as he was wearing his typical Mark IV ForgeMaster Heavy power armour, and wielding a feedback hammer at his side. The ramp of the shuttle slid down to reveal a squad of Capitol soldiers, these were not the usual slaves but a full squad of the famed Hydra Guard. Though they were no match for the forces arrayed against them they showed no fear and stood confident of themselves. Next a man strode out, quick clearly confident of his own ability the man was dressed in full combat uniform. At his side he carried a large pole arm, this made John smile slightly as it was quite clearly a parody of the Unions Emperor. The man nodded to Triarch and John nodded back. The tension in the room went down as the soldiers merely stood down. The Capitol general strode forward towards John but before he could get close Destros huge armoured bulk intercepted him.
“Try anything and you will be paste before you can scream little man. Do you understand me?” his booming voice echoed in the huge hangar from the synthesiser unit on his armour. The Capitol general didn’t seem fazed at all.
“I don’t care what you do to me, why don’t you face me like a man hmm? What? Need your big armour to make you feel like a big boy?” The general retorted back, there was a electric grunt as Destro like lightning put his huge gauntlet round the man’s throat. At once all the guns in the room went up again until John shook his head.
“Business first gentlemen, then we can get to shooting each other” John said grinning. Destro waited a few seconds then released the general. He merely brushed himself down and gave Destro a hateful stare, he walked over to John who offered a hand shake. The general looked down at John with confusion and John merely took back his hand.
“I forgot you lot are not civilised. Anyway, its been along time since I have seen one of Scars lot. I have to say im surprised your here on business rather than a war fleet at your back” John said knowing that the general would probably be offended.
“I am here on behalf of the Grand Empress, we require war materials and arms in exchange for resources, and advanced technology” The man merely replied ignoring Triarchs jabs. John suppressed a laugh at the sound of advanced technology.
“Oh? So you people finally acknowledged women can actually be somebody then? What advanced technology and resources do you have to offer?” John was genuinely interested to find out what 'Advanced technology' was, it was however Capitol. Advanced tech to them was bashing stones together to make fire. The general smiled and put a hand into his pocket, at once soldiers guns rose but when the man brought out a piece of white glowing metal with golden runes on it Johns mouth dropped, even Destro in his armour raised his eyebrow.
“Where did you get this?” John asked not caring about anything else. The general smiled.
“We have our sources, as I said when we make a deal I will inform you” John decided there and then he would make a deal with Capitol no matter the cost, this man... was holding a piece of Nakai Athena plate. John knew he had to find where this was from...
“Please, come this way my friend, and we shall facilitate this deal... I think it shall benefit the both of us...” John said as he beckoned the general to walk with him. All the while Destro stood wary for any sign of treachery...
