The next morning Vincent woke up full of energy and in the good mood from his previous nights activity's. Washing the smell of last night off Vincent took a shower to freshen up so that he would be seen in a respectable light to his subordinates.
Turning on the stove Vincent began preparing the ingredients for a simple but healthy breakfast. For someone such as Vincent cooking for yourself and for other you had a responsibility to ensure all those eating were well fed, amd had all the nutrients need for the day.
Kassandra awakening from her sleep was drawn to the aromors cooming from the kitchen. Lazy dressing herself she come into the kitchen wearing only on oversized shirt and underwear. Messy red heir stuck to her face and stains painting her body." Something smells good my love."
Vincent looking her over once sighed to himself."go have a wash and freshen up, you look even worse then usual."
Looking down at herself a slight blush spreads across her face with slight embarrassment." As much as I want to take offence at that statement of yours, I can not truly deny it either."
Chuckling lightly."don't worry go wash, breakfast will be ready for you once you are freshened up and not before."
With breakfast being held hostage Kassandra begrudgingly walks of to wash her self and properly get dressed for the day.
With Kassandra finally getting herself ready for the day ahead. Vincent poured a liter of boiling water into a tea pot with his favourite tea leaves. Before continuing to cook breakfast for the two of them.
Hearing Kassandra finishing up Vincent starts to prepare the food onto plates and pour the tea at the perfect temperature of 358 Kelvin. Creating a rather peaceful environment for breakfast.
Walking into the dinning room to have breakfast he soon walks back to the kitchen places the food and drinks on the counter and sits down.
Taking a sip of his tea Vincent looks in the direction that is the mess that was once his dinning room and sighs heaverly." Refurnishing the dinning room will have to be added to today's schedule."
Coming out of their room now dressed in her imperial uniform she laughs awkwardly." Sorry about the mess it won't happen next time,promise."
"There won't be a next time, the dinning room is official of limits. Only to be used when partaking in meals." Vincent voice a little bit more sharp then usual.
Averting her gaze slightly Kassandra sat down and began eating her food." You know I'm sorry darling. It's only furniture after all, I'll make it up to you later."
Before they could continue to argue pettily, a knock was heard at the door before a femine voice Waa heard."Lord Vincent it's Yelena, may I have permission to enter sir."
"Permision granted, you may enter secretary Yelena"
As the door opened a sapphire blue skined blacked heard woman with sharp red eyes entered. Her short black hair was cut just a obove her shoulders with part of her fridge covering her left eye. Dressed in the uniform of an emaculant imperial officer without the slight wrinkle to be seen. This woman was the very definition of a dicaplined officer, as were most of the Chiss.
She looked around the room the analysing eyes, before her eyes finally landed in the dinning room in ruins as a dissopionted began to etch itself on her beautiful face." I do hope you know the amount of work I put into to acquiring the furniture for this towers floor sir."
Letting out am exasperated sigh." Don't give me that look yelena, this was not my intention."
Bowing slightly." It was not my intent to acuse you of such sir, I do apologise if I caused you any offence sir."
"Honestly Yelena how many years have you worked with me, it will take much more effort on you behalf to ofend me."
"Now Yelena what is so urgent that is has brought you here so early in the morning."
"Thank you for your forgiveness sir."she says with a slight knowing smile.
"The reason is two fold sir. The first being the Ai left in charge of the revival project has sent you a gift to show its affection and loyalty towards yourself amd the empire."
Saying this she stretches out her hand and passes a small rectangular object to Vincent, before once again taking formal stance.
Looking and reading his expressing and eye movements." Would I be correct in saying that you have an understating the device presented sir."
Looking uo at her I'm once again reminded why I put the effort in to recruit her. The Chiss are for better word highly intelligent in their fields of expertise.when a Chiss find there interest they dedicate all their being into being superior the all others, Some chose pilitic other warfare. But the resulte us almost always the same complete and utter dominance in their favoured subject.
Yelena for example is highly analytical of other, able to tell the a person's character ambition and future within the first interaction. While also studying politics psychology she became a very sought after secretary for most high ranking officers within the empire.
Her only major flaw being her discontent that borders hate to those that are incompetent while holding high ranking positions. A characteristic that resulted in her rejecting all those that sought her services.
This triat would either leave most rejected and the rest daring not to approach her. Since having g her in your services would mean that said induvidul would have to continue to strive to better. A prospect that left more intelligent individuals distancing themselves.
So looking up at her while Vincent ate his breakfast he began to explain." What has been gifted is called a focus. Put simple they are a diverse that allow communication between each other while also saving and uploading information for the host to view. They have the function the Analyse machines and revel weakness of thre structure."
With a look of interest washing over her face."a rather efficient device if I must say I assume there are other functions."
Smiling presently at the rare show of emotion of his secretary." Many more actually, put the focus just above your ear and have a try."
Doing as Vincent suggested Yelena placed the focus on her person. As it became active and she was bombarded with information from the room around her detailing everything.
Taking it off once more and handing g back to Vincent." I would like to recommend the production of these devise, as well as the destitution among our staff."
"My thought are much the same, these devices will increse productivity manifold."
" I would like you to send word back to HEPHAESTUS to continue supplieing focuses. As a reward send him schematics of the imperial star destroyers."
"By your orders sir. Would you now like to know the contents of the second reason."
With his mood continuing to improve Vincent exepted." Yes continue with your report."
"Very well sir, the scound report is to inform you that you have received a personal transmission from an unidentified source."
With a look of interest."did the sender atleast leave a name."
"Oh course sir. The sender claimed to be Shaak Ti."
As Yelena uttered the name Vincent lost his good mood the smile leaving his face and his mood souring. One of the only regrets I Vincent's life had found him.
