Finally she had arrived. Looking out one of the windows of the shuttle Xakra watched the planet Zeltros getting nearer. Sitting back as she surveyed the expensive shuttle, plush interior with several midsized cargo containers, some of them refrigerated, others holding frozen goods, some not. She was dressed in colors fitting for nobility, rich purples offset with black and gold lining with the occasional green gem or other rich emerald hued facet to go with her skin. If one did not know this was a more direct meeting one might think she was attending a royal function. Then there were the others aboard the shuttle. Seven men, five women, all dressed in fine whites that seemed too clean to be headed toward a planet known more for hedonism then for its proper attitudes. Technically also in attendance were five droids, but those were more ment to move the cargo once they were leaving, she had made it clear in her message that she wanted the chefs with the cargo during unloading and until it was in the kitchen being prepared, she wasn't taking chances with games being played.
Turning her attention to a data pad she went over some of the details of her plans, nodding a bit before glancing out the window once more, they were entering the atmosphere now, it was a smooth enough ride which was good, she wanted this whole trip to go smoothly, a half smirk showing on her face as she went over it in her mind, a nod given in agreement with plans and ideas. Sadly, as she was reviewing it she was snapped out of her thoughts by the small group becoming louder, looking toward them and focusing more on their discussion.
"No no no! It will be at least an hour to prepare and then another to finish the sauce!" one of the women said, looking quite annoyed at another. "We cannot simply throw the whole thing together! Do you realize how delicate that meat is?!" bickering and nods of agreement from others in the group. This actually got a smile from Xakra however as she was glad they were so concerned with preparation, she had specifically hired each of these chefs for their skills and wanted them to pick each other apart to ensure the finest cuisine possible for this little meeting.
Having returned to her mental preparations and checklist she nearly lost track of time before the pilot's voice was heard in the passenger area of the shuttle "Arriving at the Jade Empress. You will be able to disembark shortly." a sigh given as she moved and stretched some, a hand waved to catch the attention of the chefs aboard with her. "You can put on the breathing masks and gloves now, I don't want you to be distracted by anything in the air, you touch, or see understand? And we can only regulate two of those easily." she was direct and her gaze said there wasn't room to argue it, even though they had each argued about it before. "Once you're preparing the food you can take them off when there is adequate ventilation, until then you can take them off." she knew they all wanted paid as they were out for their own profit in doing this, and prestige, which made it easier to handle. As the chefs got ready she felt the dull thump of the shuttle landing and got up and faced the soon to be opening doors, it was time to begin the pre-meeting antics.
