Darkstar
Occhi-class Surveillance Vessel - Shuttle Bay
Shini prepared himself for these talks aboard this foreign vessel. Negotiations like these we’re exceptionally rare for officers. captains, and ambassadors of Martiri, due to the inherent isolationist nature of them. This means each time an opportunity like this arises, it’s treated like a ceremony, the one who does the negotiating is adorned in dazzling, hand-woven robes that show the history of the Martiri and various depiction of religious imagery from the 3 “Parole del Signore”, Martiri’s holy scriptures. These ornamental white, gold, and red robes and the fortunate soul to be wearing it are also accompanied by several bodyguards. Their armor matches the color and symbolism of the robes, yet remain distinct as identifying these men as the protectors of the “Messenger of the Lord”.
Though this may seem over-top, anything that is defined as an important or “Santo” to the Martiri are treated with the highest respect and honor. Celebrations and ceremonies are always apart of the core for the religion of the Martiri…
Shini sighs, making sure the robes fit properly and there is not a single wrinkle or speck of dust messing up any of the woven threads. He tugs a little at the tippets one last time before turning around behind him, bowing towards the small crowd that had gather to prepare him for this moment. They exchange a few hymns and prayers before Shini moves into the small shuttle, flanked by 5 bodyguards adorned in the blinding white-gold plate armor covered with red-white robes.
The shuttle eventually disconnects from the small bay in the Occhi, itself a bit bland for carrying such well dressed and important targets, but eventually it nears the Amazarak, and hails the vessel, asking for a dock to depart the negotiator group.
