Parkes nodded sagely, knowing how precarious the situation this deep in the Omicrons were.
"I really do appreciate your help Quiron. Out here on the edge we need to stick together." Parkes said, taking another sip before continuing, "I am sure we can come up with credits to make shipping of the rarer materials we need out here worth it. I also have some facilities for people in your group who wish to holiday whilst still being outside the reach of the Houses."
Parkes paused for a second, furrowing his old brows and reforming some wrinkles on his face, "The real problem is the constant flow of inhabitants in Omicron 74. In the days of the Omicroners that place was locked down tight and trouble went away almost immediately. These days, the leadership seems to change every day. I see new faces, new groups and hear a lot of shooting. I need some trusted eyes to let me know what's going on in there."
