Same Day: The Kree Warship

A Xandarian prisoner shouts to Ronan who finished his speech, "You can't do this! Our government signed a peace treaty." His back facing Ronan as he was brought in by two servants and stands in the middle of the pathway. The other two servants by Ronan finishes adjusting the helmet before walking away.

Ronan picks up a massive weapon which resembles a hammer, that was brought by a servant, he tells the prisoner, "My government knows no shame." He picks up the heavy weapon like it's nothing, "You Xandarians and your culture are a disease." He walks forward towards the prisoner.

The Xandarian prisoner in a stone device with a stone-collar around his neck, he bravely and shakily says to Ronan, "You will never rule Xandar." Ronan walks past him.

Ronan says calmly, "No." He shouts angrily, "I will cure it!" Ronan then turns around and raising his weapon, striking it down the prisoner's head, killing him.

The prisoner's blood, runs down the stone device, towards the detailed design on the floor in the middle circle, draining in between the markings—this is where black pool of water is underneath the stone, and where Ronan came out of earlier.

Minutes later, Ronan kneeling down on the designed floor, watching the blood drain in the markings, a bald blue-skinned woman named Nebula walks in, standing behind him, her voice tone robotically tells him, "Ronan, Korath has returned."

Main Room 🌹

Controlling and steering the ship is four servants who sit in four individual seats in different open compartment area in the room, close by one another, they all lean back in their seat as they look up and hold their arms up to control a red and sliver ball—one for each servant, that's attached the ceiling just above them with a white light shining a bit down on them.

Ronan sits at the throne, Korath standing before him, explaining to Ronan about Peter and Rose, "Master, they are thief's, both outlaws who calls themselves Star-Lord and Sliver Rider. But we have discovered they have an agreement to retrieve the Orb for an intermediary known as The Broker." A green-skinned woman—named Gamora, silently stands to the side, listening to them.

Ronan looking down, "I promised Thanos I would retrieve the Orb for him." He slowly looks up, "Only then will he destroy Xandar for me." He stands up from his seat, "Nebula, go to Xandar and get me the Orb."

Nebula steps forward from Ronan's right, "It will be my honor."

Gamora steps forward from Ronan's left, telling Nebula, "It will be your doom." Nebula looks at her with a frown, taken back by the remark. Gamora looks at Ronan, "If this happens again, you'll be facing our father without his prize."

Nebula glares at Gamora, tilting her head to the side, stating calmly, "I'm a daughter of Thanos. Just like you."

Gamora retorts as she glares at Nebula, "But I know Xandar."

Nebula starts to raise her voice, "Ronan has already decreed that I-"

Ronan cuts Nebula off harshly, "Do not speak for me." Nebula looks away, Ronan steps in front of Gamora, facing her, "You will not fail." Nebula looks up and glares at the two.

Gamora stares back at Ronan, "Have I ever?"
