Quarter R1 was the personal "lounge" for members of the Renegades. With exclusive access and high security, this was an area all members were able to use to access incoming messages, jobs, and possible targets; as well as simply kick back with a drink and exchange stories of their latest endeavors.

The laughter and clashing of drinks was evident throughout the hall. Rorry looked to his left and right, smiling at those around him. Morbius, Vispilio, and "Venny." The three of the returning members of his old group. Along several new faces as well. At his side sat Ronnie, a trusted right hand who had sat out on the last operation.
Vispilio and Morbius were ordering drinks faster than they could be finished, holding several of the call girls had been brought in for this special occasion: Cody had been undone. A perfect start to their new direction.
"So this is what ya meant eh boss?" Ronnie asked.
"Yes... No more half assing piracy, no more searching for glory. We're professionals now, only the most keen and adept admitted, ready to setup for perfect scenarios. I don't want any more squabbles with militarys or other groups who wish to push and shove for grounds. We keep to the dark. Hitmen, forgers, and only the very BEST of pirates..."
Rorry looked to the one corner where the hall was kept in shadow, a lone figure sat brooding.
"I know you've said not to ask boss, but... who is that man?"
Among the bustle and commotion, Rorry's voice could hardly be heard as he stared at the figure head on.
Rorry looked up at the newcomer. The voice was familiar, but unexpected. He stood up as the room turned about to gaze at the intricate armor.
Rorry thought back to the last conversation he had with his old friend. Sent off on a mission to gain access to the web of black market dealers in Sirius's Underground. He had thought the man long dead.
"Sit down please. Let us talk while the celebration continues!"
He motioned for those present to continue on, the music played once again and drinks were exchanged. Ayauri sat opposite Rorry.
"Tell me, old friend, how went the mission?"
Rorry sat back taking in what Ayauri said. At the mention of "King" he grimaced.
"You bring great news, after our reveal of our actions against Cody we can only hope we may enlist the Company's help in future endeavors. I am no 'King' Ayauri, I am only a man..."
His gaze turned momentarily to "Syn" in the corner.
"The Renegades now mutually serve each other to achieve actions of a professional manner. As you can see many old faces are long gone. A change in the wind is upon us... I have devoted my time to ensuring we gather with us Hitmen, Crime Consultants, Forgers, and the like. These professional qualities are the ones to which we now search. No longer are we roughian pirates camping the lanes hoping to luck. Your contacts will bide well with us for the greater gain of all."
"Come now, drink, for we have toppled the great Cody! We can talk more business at a later time."
*Ayauri raised the glass and cheered*
As you wish, Rorry, but, why have you given away your status as the King of Sirius ?
He shook his head smiling. He looked to Ayauri, pointing to his head.
"I've wizened up... Now let's drink!"
