With the information on their enemies and objectives disseminated, and everyone's roles in the mission decided on, the meeting came a to a close.
Avery, wanting to make a good impression and be an amicable host, offered to bring anyone that wanted to along to the officers' lounge for a meal and refreshments.
This was a bid to show off how amazing his new ship was and get on the other upper ranking mercenaries' good sides.
Regrettably, most of them declined and headed back to the hangar to leave.
Among those who stayed though, we're the three people that Avery was most interested in making connections with. Those being Zefield, Tuuali, and Quokka.
Nali had also stayed behind, but Avery got the impression that they were not likely to get along. At best, he could expect indifference from her.
She was a loner type that did not want to be beholden to anyone but herself for the most part. That was pretty obvious from her personality and the fact that she worked alone.
