"Excellent," said the Vice Sect Leader, his face radiating an intense, triumphant satisfaction as he lowered his hands from the martial salute. "I shall personally transmit the updates to your quarters the exact millisecond we approach the deployment threshold. In the meantime, please feel entirely free to explore the layouts of the vessel, or perhaps enjoy the high-altitude landscape from the observation platform."
"I would highly appreciate observing the landscape for a brief moment," Ethan replied, his gravelly voice relaxed and smooth. "It is rare to witness the frontier peaks from such a massive vantage point."
"Splendid!" the Vice Leader cheered, adjusting the heavy velvet trim of his robes. "Allow me to accompany you back to the primary viewing deck. It is always a pleasure to witness a master's first ascent into the upper flight lines."
