The consoles flashing on the bridge gave an eerie glow through the mist that hung in the air. The enormous figure remainder stationary in the throne at the centre of the room.
The bridge doors grinded open, squeling every inch as the doors retracted. As though they had not seen maintenance in millenia.
A morbidly obese figure strode into the room, mortal deck hands convolsing with fits of vomiting at the presence of the figure.
"My lord, the ritual was successful"
The figure did not turn from the chair, or even break his stare from the viewport in front of him.
"The circle remains broken"
"The ritual was successful and you shall have claimed the souls to put you one step closer to your former power. Now they have found us the circle is irrelevant. We should be bolstering our defences!"
"Do not think yourself my commander lord Imhotep, or I shall show you who is your master by force. Even in my weakened state!"
"S.....ssiii.....sssiirr"
Stuttered a deck hand in between wreching.
"Incoming transmition. ......it is heavily encoded....."
"I knew I was not purged from your memory little brother, you are a suprise alpharius. Or are you the other one, I never could tell between you two."
Rasped Anubis, with a faint smirk.

After the transmission was cut and the exchange was over, anubis turned to Imhotep with a solemn look to the black pools where his eyes once were.
"Call the beast master, as much as I long for this reunion; I never can trust which of thier two faces I'm dealing with. Best to be wary."
"Are you sure M'lord, would it not be better to rely on Montu and his warbands?"
"No, we need the element of suprise. Summon the beast master and alert him of the intended meeting point "
