Fleet Admiral Rashad, the Commander of Celia's Love, met them at the cargo bay with an entourage of his officers and some household staff carrying tables for a dinner meeting. Max had almost forgotten how in love with the trappings of Nobility and Civilized Society the Cygnus Officers were, and while he was only considered a Minor Noble in Kepler, he was now a Reaver Company Commander, and Nico was both an extremely low-ranking Princess and his Subcommander.
The Officers would see it as incredibly rude for him to refuse their hospitality, but at least as career military Officers, they would have a decent sense of humour and enough combat experience to understand what Max had been doing out here in the Koleska Territories.
