Cannes Resort Facility, Provence

The silhouette of Cannes was visible from afar - the huge space resort owned by Bouvet Space Entertainment had recently returned to its owners, ceasing to be the headquarters of the Police de Provence: and for the best, as many tourists preferred to relax on board the station rather than stay on Planet Marseille. It is not clear why, but perhaps the abundance of not particularly legal pleasures was not to everyone's liking, and the absence of the Gendarmerie outside the floating cities did not inspire confidence in the local police, assembled from the Unione Corse.
The shuttle, escorted by two Serval-class fighters, was rapidly approaching the station from the side of the gate at Ile-de-France. This may not have been the safest way to travel, for as history has shown - even a King can be hit by a handful of pirates, but Marechal Antonin de Lusignan did not have enough time to travel aboard his flagship from Orleans to Provence for just one meeting that he would prefer to keep secret - so the fighters accompanying him belonged to the Security Bureau loyal to him alone.
Soon, the three ships flew into a spacious hangar reserved only for military 'needs' and having abandoned their ships, the Marechal, accompanied by four GSB agents with visible signs of augmentation, headed for the meeting point with Omer Darche, daring to ask so much of the state he works for, but without explaining why.
