The Earth Delegation

[Corwin]

"The situation is under control, now," Genkai replies. "You may land, if you wish, Prince Endymion."

[Merc]

Endymion gives a nod, before turning to the princess besides him. "I apologize, it appears I worried you for nothing," he says with an apologetic smile.

[Brian]

"Well, better safe then sorry," Makoto replies pragmatically.  "Since we're all well, we can travel together to the moon, can't we?  Would you care to join us aboard, er, My Dear Baby Girl, Serenity for the trip back to the moon?"

[Corwin]

"Your Highness," Genkai cuts into the conversation, looking at Makoto. "Perhaps it would be more prudent to pay the Queen a visit before you land? She is onboard the White Queen, and I'm certain Queen Serenity would be delighted to see you again."

[Brian]

Makoto blushes in embarassment.  "Oh, I hadn't known.  Um, yes, that would probably be a good idea, yes."

[Corwin]

"Let's go! Let's go visit mommy!" Princess Serenity exclaims, and grabs Makoto's hand. Waving at Endymion, she takes out a small wand, and the two disappear in a flash of light.

Genkai glances at the prince, and winces visibly. "I apologize for the Princess's rash behavior, Prince Endymion," she says in a sincere tone of voice.

[Merc]

Though a bit startled by the sudden disappearance, he nods to Genkai.

"It's alright," he says, while the corner of his eye continues to stare at the spot where they vanished.

[Corwin]

Genkai nods as well. "Would the same VIP runway be alright with you, Prince Endymion? I believe your pilots know the way."

[Merc]

"More than alright," Endymion replies with a smile. "Thank you for your help, Genkai-san. I'll inform the pilots shortly."

[Corwin]

Genkai bows, and the connection terminates.

After commands are dispensed, the pilots execute them flawlessly, though they don't seem excited about going back to the place they were forced to flee. Upon landing, Endymion sees a few relatively small craters in the distance, the area surrounding each bustling with activity as people are already trying to fix the damage.

As he surveys the surroundings, Endymion is approached by Major Iridium, who quietly enforms him that General Kunzite has requested his attention on a secure line, pointing the prince towards the captain's quarters where the communique has been redirected.

[Merc]

Endymion nods his thanks to Iridium, before heading to the captain's quarters. Accepting the conection, he asks with a polite tone, "General Kunzite? What can I do for you?"

[Corwin]

"My Prince," Kunzite greets him, bowing. "I'm afraid I have some troubling news to tell you. The engineers my aide asked to investigate the wreckage of a strange machine on Lunar surface have deduced that it was created with Earth technology." Kunzite sighs, taking a seat. "What's even more troubling is that such a machine doesn't officially exist."

[Merc]

"Wait, not officially existing?" Endymion asks with a frown before prodding for more details on the technology. "Please explain."

[Corwin]

"A secret research project that the military abandoned a few years back," Kunzite replies, shrugging. "Apparently, someone continued it, after all."

[Merc]

Endymion nods, still frowning, before asking. "What can you tell me about the technology in specific? And have you already informed the king?"
