Ezra couldn't help but show a bit of happiness on his face when the signals of Magellan appeared on the sensors of the Amerigo and the eight frigates, with the Constantinople at their head, entered the empty system that had been chosen as rally point.

"Captain Riccardi, Captain Bridger is asking permission to come aboard." one of the operators reported.

"Permission granted." replied the officer. "I'm honestly curious to meet him myself." he added as he crossed Ezra's gaze.

The two watched as the Constantinople approached the bridge so the two ships could connect the airlocks and allow Jordan to come aboard. The small window of time allowed Belisarius and Kherat to reach them, as well. Eventually, the door of the Amerigo opened, revealing Jordan, Thabo, Michalina and Gutierrez. The first three in regular uniforms, the latter in his armor as always.

The Bridgers quickly smiled at each other. Jordan made the salute both for formality and to express his pride toward his son. After Ezra reciprocated, the two hugged in a relatively composed manner.

"Would you look at my General." Jordan commented with a smile, noticing how Ezra's body had become quite buff, but he also exuded a great aura of maturity that was reflected in his face.

"I missed you too, Dad." he kindly replied before breaking the hug. "Good to se you guys again." he said to the Legionnaires behind Jordan.

"We heard you found out your vocation for causing revolutions, kid." Thabo joked.

Ezra chuckled, then stepped aside to let them see the officers of the Amerigo. "Allow me to introduce you Colonel Belisarius," the Legionnaires quickly stood at attention and the Turian nodded. "Major Kherat" and the rite was repeated even in the span of a second. "and Captain Riccardi, the real boss aboard the ship."

 Riccardi extended a hand and Jordan shook it respectfully

Riccardi extended a hand and Jordan shook it respectfully. "I'm glad to meet you, Captain Bridger. Always wondered who the General took from."

Jordan chuckled amused. "I guess I didn't teach him caution, but Ezra is his own person, after all."
