It was but a brief moment before the large doors of the bridge opened and revealed several imperial guards who took positions at the entrance and awaited further orders.Then the thumping footsteps of the Grand Imperator could be heard as he walked in with clawed hands behind his back.His facial expression was hidden beneath the helm that functioned as a breathing mask for the cybernetic Varanus he towered over all the other Varanidae and as he saluted the Grand Admiral he turned towards the entrance bowing,the Emperor entered the room his weathered face containing an smile as he noticed how busy the bridge is.

"It' reminds me of the day the Armada was first established,your predecessor however lacked your efficiency and for that I am grateful to have you as my Grand Admiral." The Emperor bowed his head slightly and walked around the bridge inspecting the work of his Armada.The Grand Imperator just stood watching the Emperor.

"Thank you my lord,It is my honour to serve the Imperium.....We currently have 8 functioning fleets with only 2 of them containing various ships we have yet to mass produce." She said following behind the winged Emperor.

The Emperor stopped and turned towards his admiral with a grin. "And the colonization plans?"

"Already in place my lord" She hastily replied.

"Good" the Emperor turned and gazed out towards the stars with New Serpentum visible to his left. "We shall expand to the various unclaimed worlds around us,we shall rebuild the empire one stone at a time,and in the very end of it all......We shall.....Will leave a paradise for Varanidae,Xearrian and Zodarrin alike!" the Emperor shouted as he was caught in a moment of inspiration,his scepter held towards the roof.

The Emperor then relaxed and calmed himself before turning towards the Grand Imperator who remained standing near the entrance alongside the other guards clad in golden armour.

"Zorbek what is the status of the Legion?" he asked as he walked towards the entrance.

"Over 550 Legions have been raised.....Oh and Lord-General Silvaar has apparently recruited an Zodarrin agent."

"That is wonderful news" the Emperor smiled.

"But my lord.....It is an machine" the words chilled the Emperor's heart

Both the Emperor and Grand Imperator had endured much hardship from the machine armies of the Solsas War-AI,it is the reason the Imperator became cybernetic,it was the reason the Emperor became an orphan in his youth ages past.

"I....see,well I trust Silvaar's judgement and this Zodarrin may prove himself just as worthy as any organic in the Imperium.Come I tire and the court awaits my return continue your commendable work Grand Admiral." With that the Emperor left followed by the Grand Imperator and the imperial guard.As the doors closed the Grand Admiral released a sigh and smiled as she whispered to herself. "Of course my lord" Tonight after much stress she would be able to sleep more peacefully without fear of the Emperor's disapproval.
