Neither Prime had much chance to go into much depth about their exploration of Courscant before a nearby guard, his hand to his ear to dampen the noise of the crowd around him, approached Nanoha. He looked concerned, maybe a little afraid, as he walked up.
"Major, uh, Takamachi?"
Proto Man, his youthful size hidden from the guard's view by Nanoha's billowing Barrier Jacket, leaned back from where he rested against the barricade in front of them and stared at the man with his right hand habitually clenched at the ready. Nanoha patted his shoulder lightly as she turned to address the man. She wasn't really surprised to have someone from Coruscant's military speaking to her, considering her agreement with Dredd earlier, but why so soon was a little worrisome.
"Yes, that's me" she replied before firmly adding, "Proto Man is here too, another Prime. How can I help you?"
"Judge Dredd wants to see you immediately at the Observation Dome, this is a priority one request, are you able to respond?"
Nanoha frowned a little; Priority One? She obviously had no idea what that meant exactly, but it was clearly an urgent request. She turned to Blues and raised an eyebrow quizzically, "You coming along too? I assume he'll want any Primes that are available."
The robotic boy shrugged, he didn't seem to be that keen on being separated from Nanoha again since he had already been intending to come find her at the library.
"Not much else to do around here, really, aside from staring at the pretty floats. I'll come."
Nanoha nodded, glad to have some company and turned to speak again with the waiting guard. "We will come, can you give me co-ordinates to where this 'Observation Dome' is?
"I've been advised to escort you there personally, Major, but I will need to get another speeder to bring the other Prime as well."
Co-ordinates for logical location have been determined. It is not far. Flight would be faster than waiting for additional vehicle.
Nanoha knew she could count on Raising Heart to be quick with results. Flashing a smile at the guard, she flexed her arms and turned back to Blues as she replied to him.
"That wont be necessary, then, we have alternative transport. Tell Dredd we'll be there soon."
In one smooth motion she leaned down around Proto Man and picked him up as he hastily grabbed her shoulders in surprise. "Hold on tight, this might feel a bit weird... Axel Fin!", she told him before launching the two of them into the air.
If Blues was at all distressed, his immovable face certainly didn't show it. He had very quickly averted his head when he moved his arms down to her sides and she pulled him tightly against him, likely to avoid suddenly having it squished into her prominent chest. Nanoha had to suppress a chuckle; she was always amused by the reactions of youngsters to her brusquely decisive nature. He was very heavy, though, and she had to provide an extra influx of mana to her flight spell to lighten the load on her arms a little. Just part of being an android, she mused.
It didn't take them too long to arrive at the destination Raising Heart projected onto her view screen, and the dome itself opened like some sort of half-blooming flower to allow them inside. She could see Dredd and a number of stormtroopers, marines and other personnel clustered around a large holographic projection of Coruscant itself. There was another figure, one that looked out of place among the others, standing talking to Dredd. It took a moment for Nanoha to recognise the woman she had only met briefly, but Blues murmured her name right away; "Samus is here already huh?"
Nanoha landed deftly on the open floor of the large control room, lightly dropping her fellow Prime to the floor. He didn't seem too shaken by the flight here, but Nanoha could feel her muscles ache a little from the effort of carrying him after weeks of little heavy-duty physical training. Something she'd have to remedy, when next a chance to arose.
Dredd looked up from the hologram, where he was pointing something out to Samus, completely ignored Blues and stared levelly at Nanoha.
"Glad you could make it, Major. I hope your... Device is a capable as you claim it to be, that's something we could really use right now."
