Rogue Trader - "A New Journey" (IC)

[DrK]

She drains the glass dry before heading down into her private chambers. A pair of Nostromo guards at the doors in her House's misunderstood livery. No matter though - they are the small contingent of House staff were loyal to the point of fanatatisicm.

Looking around at the bare rooms of the Navis Sanctum she smiled a thing smile as her long lanky frame brushed the curved walls of the room draped in sheer black fabrics that deadened sight, sound and sensation so as not to distract from the swirling currents of the immaterium. Settling into the throne in the centre of the room she leant back into the soft leather, hands settling onto the servo-psychometabolic touch pad that would send the course corrections up to the bridge where the helm could maneuvre the long lithe vessel through the swirls of the warp.

Opening her warp eye the otherwise pitch black chamber lit up with swirling lights and moving predatory shadows as the window to the warp opening up and the whorls of the warp began to form a pattern as she looked for the whorls and eddies that marked stable pathways in the otherwise raging storm. All the while she looked out for the glowing beacon that lay at the heart of the Galaxy - lit by the beacon of mankind.

Finally she pressed the comm button gently. "All set to begin Lord Captain. The engines can be activated at any time."
