Vilain sits across the cargo bay from the Kaiser, smiling. "It was quite the spectacle when they returned." He chuckled. "The boy and his senior NCO were usually on the parade grounds, alone. The boy got PTed for five days straight." He recalled laughing. "The only reason it ended was because the Commandant needed Jean to finish his preparations for graduation."

The helicopter banked left, and overflew the academy, circling once before beginning its landing.

"Well, in my experience, most military institutions use the same concepts. Use what works and all that." Vilain replies absently, looking at a small tablet he had retrieved from his jacket.

He leads the Kaiser into the building and to the officer's quarters. A Republican Guardsman stands outside of the Esterfortian Rep's room just down the hallway. Vilain stops and opens a door. "Here we are Kaiser." Vilain walks into the room. "These will be your accommodations. Fairly plain, but that's the military for you." Vilain puts a piece of paper on the counter in the small, but well equipped kitchen in the quarters. "Here is a phone number you can always reach me at. I have some things to attend to so I will not be able to accompany you for your entire visit. Feel free to call me if you need anything. You are free to explore the academy and the grounds freely. The ceremony is tomorrow."

Vilain's phone rings. He sighs. "Well, that means I must be going. Enjoy your stay Kaiser." Vilain walks out of the room after tossing a set of keys to the Kaiser.

They will be met upon arrival!

[You may see a pattern developing here.]

There isn't much for the Kaiser to see. A small kitchen area with an oven and a refrigerator. A counter separates the kitchen and the living room. In the living room there is a couch and a coffee table in front of a small tv. In the back of the living room is a doorway that leads to the bedroom, a rather unexciting room containing a single one person bed, a nightstand, and a dresser. The room is exactly the same as all the others in the officer's quarters area.

(Is Ito to late to join in?)

[Nope ]

The Nomna official is met by a Republican Guard officer. He is taken to the officer's quarters at the academy as all others are. After being shown his room and given the key, the Republican Guardsman lets him know that he is free to explore the academy as he pleases and that the graduation ceremony will take place the following day.

The guardsman, assigned to protect and accompany the official for the duration of his stay, follows a short distance behind.

Nate sees Alliance officers and cadets, as well as civilian officials, walking around the academy grounds as he walks. An Mi-8 helicopter is landed on the parade grounds. Several armored vehicles sit off to the side by a smallish stand of trees with soldiers in their combat gear standing around.

The delegation is met by a Republican Guard officer as they get off the plane.
