"The mining colony is a rather old one, the original owners sold it off when it became a little bit more dangerous to mine deuterium from the asteroids. This asteroid belt is prone to gravity storms and solar flares, and the rocks are too clustered to each other making navigation really hard. Which is a shame as this a deuterium rich asteroid, but current technology has not grown enough to the point where it could be properly mined, unless of course there was a better way." Cole raised his eyebrow at that as he stared at Tehilla.
"Are you seriously thinking about purchasing the colony? Right now, with the current situation in front of us. Are you always thinking about how to make money and profit?" Cole asked her with a baffled look on his face, she blanched and shot back at him.
"Do you think I traveled halfway across the galaxy to come help you save one of your whores? You keep speaking about how we need to have a foundation that would withstand the new universe order that's coming our way. We may not have the technology or equipment to mine this asteroid belt but, that can change when the system lands. Deuterium is the fuel of the stars, plus my charts says there are over a dozen unrecognized materials to be mined and refined from the belt.
This is a potential money bag, and the life of an old woman and her sick son, would not be enough to stand in the way of me building our empire. Or do you disagree?" Tehilla asked with a dangerous edge to her voice. Cole on the other hand rolled his eyes at that, he has spent three years living with a woman, so he pretty much knew how they acted most of the time…. Emphasis on most of the time. She was marking her territory, this was also a way for her to warn Cole that he should not have any sort of ideas.
"I don't disagree, but seeing as you brought this up and you're in control of all or some of my money, you already either acquired the colony or are about to. Which means you have a plan and I would be in poor form if I don't listen to you my dear." Cole said to her as he fostered her and gave her the brightest smile he could muster, Tehilla turned bright red as she turned away from him and coughed a few times to clear her throat.
"well I purchased it, but I used my money. I don't need any handouts from you." Cole rolled his eyes in response, this woman suddenly discovered pride and she was having too much of it. But he loved it that way, it was weird. Ever since he acknowledged that perhaps he did have feelings for her and that the attraction he felt for her was too powerful to ignore.
"The purchase has us coming in as dignitaries, and using a bounced frequency, they've not been able to tell that we're the same people vying for ownership or the return of the ships they have in their custody. So I can get us all in, straight to the heart of everything, but from then on all, it would be up to you guys to deal with the rest while I take over management of the colony.
But I should mention that I don't think they'd be very welcoming to us, especially since I'm going to be the new owner and would be taking food off a lot of plates. I expect we would be meeting quite a bit of resistance. The last person to purchase this place ended up getting lynched, I dare say that's his body floating off a string outside of it's entrance. So I'll get you guys in….. but you will be responsible for not just getting us out, but for gaining us control of the entire colony. This is not your game or other universe Cole, this is our fucking reality….. can you do it?"
"That shouldn't be a problem, especially since it's me, Delarosa, Neral and Dragon that's coming along with you. Dare I say it this might be a little overkill, but leave taking over the colony to Delarosa and me, Neral and Dragon would be responsible for your safety, while Morgan will track down Cassandra's ship. She should be getting in contact with us any time soon. So let's be ready to receive them, we're on a tight schedule so everyone get ready." Cole said as he got up from the Captain's seat and headed for the bay area, they would be disembarking soon enough as soon as the frigate was docked.
Cole wasn't so sure what to expect they had not to use upon the fact that raven and the pirates under his employ were within the colony, so definitely there's going to be a rather bloody fight. Maybe it would be prudent if they went with a little bit more people, but he did not want causalities on his side, and even if he was not as powerful as he would be in the other universe, he was still above the people in the colony and Raven was not even strong enough to scuff Cole's boots. It would be a massacre but he'd rather not let anything go wrong.
[Master I would Need A Terminal To Be Able To Hack The Colony's System. If You Be So Kind To Find One And Interface With It For Me, I should Be Able To Shut Down Most Of Their Security Measures.]
Cole nodded his head in agreement, they needed access to the entire colony and waiting for Tehilla's unlikely welcome ceremony where the access keys for the entire colony would be given to her, they would have to make themselves their very own key, in order to open all the necessary doors and get shit done. Cole was getting anxious, he couldn't help the feeling that something was about to happen, whether good or bad he could not exactly tell, but he knew it would be significant….. that was the only way he could explain why his [Sin Seeking Eyes] were now pulsing Black at the edge of his vision….. he needed to be ready.
