It took a bit of time for the remaining two invited pioneering fleets to arrive in the star system where the Gemini Family held court.
Each of the four fleets parked well away from each other. They clearly did not trust each other well enough to move close enough to give the ace mechs hailing from the other parties to launch any surprise attacks.
In order to make sure that an ace mech did not secretly try to take them by surprise, every fleet deployed an extensive sensor and scouting network that monitored the surrounding spaces for unusual warp travel activity.
The chances that any one of the gathered groups would go on the attack against each other was slim, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
The Gemini Family soon requested every group to send over representatives to discuss their proposed cooperation in person.
The Golden Skull Alliance dispatched Ves, Marshal Ariadne Wodin and Master Benedict Cortez among other people.
