The immensity of the IDSS Retribution heaved away from the elations of the Coronation in the Imperial Capital of Nenya; the vast Palace grounds below, vibrantly green, blazed with sunshine as the shadow, the veil of the warship above, was lifted from the eye of Her warm gaze - the Sun returned. A Dawn, of sorts.
Strike aircraft streaked away from her as she headed west and a little north towards Turath - or, more specifically, the Nr. Turath Space Yard.
It doesn't take her long; the journey is several hundred miles alone.

Three Hours Later
[Thread crossover note: At this point, Rialla and Semir would be talking with dignitaries and guests at the Coronation Reception.]
She lifted from the ground again, as an eagle vaulting from the nest with full belly but settled stomach; she leapt into the sky, climbing...
...and eventually clearing the blue skies, and entering into the velvelt black of the void beyond.
Accelerating hard, she vaults out of the immediate gravity well produced by the Earth far 'below', and heads out past Luna on a steady acceleration path.
Her vast energy output throbs-
-electricity appears to corruscate across her hull-
-and she vanishes with a dim crack of blue-white light.
