Private Heavy is the Head

[Vesta]

SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO ROTHANA & PANATHA

-​

Black clothing, leather gloves, reflective visors - even the brutalist architecture screamed imperialism. There was no facet or feature of the Final Dawn or any of the other imperial groups the stars over that she liked, nothing she admired. They were ruthless, they were inexplicably ambitious, and they thrived on decadence despite their ignorance of it. Here, in the depths of one of the many ships that the imperial element of the Maw called home, Mori came to meet with Marlon Sularen , the leader of the Final Dawn. Where he and his ilk desired order, she was for chaos - and it for her. "He is expecting you in the meeting room." One of the thousands of faceless officers said to her as two of them flanked her on either side, escorting her to the man she was certain they pledged more loyalty to the the Maw's plans for the galaxy itself. She never understood the necessity these sorts of people felt to regurgitate information back to her that she already knew, perhaps it was their relative anxiety being so close to her or maybe it was their desire to feel important to their superiors, but whatever the case she didn't find the need to respond beside a subtle nod of her head.

It didn't take long for them to reach the room, either, with the High Regent dressed just as sharply as she would have expected to. She lifted her right hand, palm open, in what could have been construed as a wave if it had not hung in the air for a bit longer than necessary to more clearly convey to the officers attempting to follow her inside to stop and wait outside. "I prefer to discuss things in private." She explained, taking a step into the room while her slowly lowering hand shut the door behind her with the force - the locking mechanism crumpled shut to prevent anyone from entering or exiting from that point on. "I will make introductions brief, Sularen." Mori said as she made her way to the seat on the opposite end of the long table from where the High Regent had placed himself, unconcerned with whatever thoughts were likely going through everyone else's heads in reaction to how she had 'locked' them inside. "You can call me whichever title strikes your fancy, or you can call me by my name - Mori - and I will refer to you, in turn, by the name I know you by best; Sularen."

She paused, eyebrows raising expectantly above pursed lips along with a subtle tilt of her head - as if to ask him to confirm his understanding - before she continued.

"I suppose I should reassure you that there is no immediate risk to your safety today, you can disregard my lack of consideration for your door as a piece of me that still forgets how much restraint I need to exercise after the debacle on Tython." Mori noted, glancing down at her hands as she laid them down on the tabletop in front of her before looking back up at the man across from her in the eyes. "I'm here for several reasons, most of which are to look into how things are moving along with the build-up of your forces and equipment for the upcoming push into enemy territory, though I want to make special note that I want to clarify some things that I feel I should be personally addressing the various.. leaders.. of the Maw in person to clear the air on what I believe could lead to an unfortunate misunderstanding." She explained before breaking into another pause, this time looking at him expectantly to respond - likely regarding the status of the Final Dawn that she had just mentioned a moment before.

Despite his high rank within the Hierarchy of the Brotherhood of the Maw, standing as both a Major Naval Commander and the Head of one of the Maw's Primary Subgroups outside it's Tribes, Sularen rarely met with the Dark Voice of the Maw in person. He had only met Solipsis a few times in person prior to his demise, and had only witnessed the wise of Mori, but never had both Sularen and Mori stood in the same room alone to discuss matters in regards to future plans. Unlike Solipsis, whom Sularen had an understanding with, Mori was a complete mystery, even as Sularen witnessed her ascension as the Dark Voice. Nevertheless she was still the Final Dawn's Supreme Ruler and as such still had to answer to her summons.

Thus from his seat at the edge of a long conference table within one of the many Conference Rooms of his Flagship, the FDS Predator, Sularen awaited the Supreme Ruler wearing his usual Crimson Imperial Uniform with it's All-Grey Rank Insignia and Crimson Cape. Eventually Mori would enter the room making a brief introduction allowing the High Regent to simply call her by her name, Mori while she referred to him as Sularen before proceeding to go straight to business discussing about her intents such as look into the progress of the Final Dawn's preparations for the upcoming assault against the Enclave and to clarify matters that she thought should be discussed with the other Major Figures of the Maw to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Very well then, Mori." Sularen said after she finished speaking. He wasn't used to calling the Dark Voice by his/her name, he usually refereed to the individual as "Supreme Ruler", "My Lord" and etc, but alas, it is what Mori wanted. "I guess i should begin with topic of my preparations for Rothana. So far everything is going as planned. Fortunally the recent absorption of an Regional Imperial Splinter Group known as the Imperial Concordat by the Final Dawn has allowed us to establish outposts in Kal'Shebbol and Karideph, where the Fleet set to Strike at the Shipyards is currently assembling and going over last minute refits. However while this is quite off topic, these very outposts could allow us to keep an eye on the resurgent Sith Order which has recently emerged at Jutrand, although significant assets would have to be pulled back to avoid detection." Sularen said in response. He was much interested in the latter topic, Mori had brought to the table in regards to clarifying matters that otherwise would lead to some sort of misunderstanding within the Maw, although it'd be best if they move forward one step at a time.
