Description
Just before the taking off, GOD herself summoned JS: "I know that the President ordered you to report directly to him, since you got your position by Presidential order. But here is a direct, super-crypted line to report to me. You'll get your orders from me first of all, if it'll be needed. Your actions honoured the Regiment and all of GOD. I sent a dispatch to the "Leonis" Sector Admiral to meet you and supply you with another platoon of Space Marines from the 2nd SpecOp Regiment to add to the platoon already in New Mars. The admiral is due to give you all the support you'll ask for."
"Elite troops - JS thought - This means that we are a split second from open warfare". "Good luck, lieutenant commander" GOD added, giving him his orders.
JS was received with the utmost courtesy at the flagship of the 5th Fleet, Leonis Sector. He also got acquainted with his SMs.
Once landed at Bradburyton, he was up to his neck in redtape, paper pushing, and diplomacy. Reactions to his arrival varied.
The SMs were happy that there was one from GOD in charge and not a "pushing-paper-and-bleeding-heart" guy from GUN or the humanitarian diplomacy, now that it was rough play's time. "I promise you - JS had told them during an impromptu speech. Ours won't be the next hearts to bleed!" and his SMs had grinned openly.
Most civilians were annoyed and in turmoil, because JS's appointment created a lot of problems to them. And a lot of speculation, too.
The Rogues reacted by substituing their elderly consul with a younger one coming from the ranks of their military aristocracy.
"Well, we measured each other's size," JS pondered.
During the first three days, JS didn't even try to go to the Martian city. The more he succeeded in keeping Eve and the others' profiles low, the better. It was much safer for them, because as the new N.M.'s commander, every move of his was observed and weighed by too many Rogue and Earthener eyes.

The thumbnail does not do this scene justice. I almost passed this one by. Good thing I didn't. Great scene with effective lighting and POV.

Nice work setting the "take-off" with the usual tensions, ironies, back-handed paranoias, etc. And setting up tensions for the future too. (We never know what tensions will become all-out conflict.) And a sense that there could be major battle ahead. All good "setting up" your readers for what might come. The image is more of your creative angles, lighting and visual drama. Of course, you need an angle to show both the station and the ship in front of it; but your angle is dramatic all the same, allowing for the station to have strong light on the surface, and the small ship to be in shadow: Nice contrast. The image opens on our right---to space. (Balances-off the congestion of machinery on the left.) And you have lots of detail throughout---incl fascinating detail inside the big station: Inside that big open space (in the station) you have very interesting stuff along the wall: Ie, railings, 2 jutting rooms (perhaps for observation), and something in the back that looks like an exercise machine. And the detail in the small ship is a lot of fun to study, with all kinds of "ship-py" stuff (not a great technical term) including some "XL" insignias---Extra Large, lol? (That would be a men's size 52, in Italy.) I don't think that's what that means...And the move from a blank facade on far left of the station, to an open space on far right is very effective. More thoughtful work from you, with fine lighting and shade, etc. It's apparent how much time and thought you put into these pieces. (Btw, when you told us that was the actual Alpha Leonis, I thought: Well, of COURSE!!! I KNEW that was Alpha Leonis!! Was on the tip of my tongue!! I'm not making fun, I'm really not, just appreciating that you went to the trouble of using a real star, and then identified it for us. Hopefully you have a few astronomers in your audience who can appreciate that. More thought on your part, in these complex pieces.)
