Freeport 44

[Soul Reaper]

'€¦and what about Jake?

He'€™s Ex-Navy Marines, just like Joshua and Michael.

So, in your opinion, the best would be Eric?

Yes, an ex-intelligence officer of the LSF would be a nice addition to security, I'€™ve used up my contacts to be sure he really does have the '€˜ex'€™ title, it seems all clear.

Yes, I'€™ve checked them all, there'€™s no problem on that part.

So, which ones?

I'€™ll go with Eric and Joshua, those two I'€™m sure of, their physical and psychological conditions are well above the standard I put, not to mention their experience and personalities. Put Michael on hold, dump Chris.

Alright, where should they be assigned to?

Joshua on standard guard and patrol, get to know Eric, make him one of your closer men.

Yes sir.

Good job Valeria, but we need some more people for security detail, at least 6 more for now.

The corridor was filled with people going to and fro, minding their own business, doing their jobs. However Marcus noticed that the Freeport was more crowded than usual, especially with the new refugee arrivals, the two turned into a particularly crowded spot and Valeria was forced to follow Marcus behind him in a two person line. Marcus looked back and nodded to the door, they'€™d continue in the office. The door, was actually a small blast door in its size, he put his palm on the scanner next to the door and a second later it parted open for them to enter. As soon as the door locked down the voices of all the people got cut immediately. Marcus took a seat on one of the couches looking towards the window, a spectacular view of space; Valeria took the couch next to it.

Right, how about the fighter pilots?

Still only 2 of them.

I thought you told me you had 10 in the waiting list.

Yeah but none of them are suitable.

Personalities?

Yeah, pretty much, better than average fighting skills, but, couldn'€™t even get close to the personality standards, although some have passed the psychology tests.

Oh well, we gotta keep looking, need at least one wing ready before 44 is operational.

How is the construction going on exactly? I didn'€™t have the time to actually contact Isaac, was too busy with the security stuff.

Well, pretty much all the resources we need are now in storage, so it'€™s just a matter of time actually, mostly everything is done. And, Isaac'€™s estimation is a month, Livadia'€™s estimation is 3 weeks, I'€™d say Isaac is right, he'€™s always right.

What about the bio-domes, I heard you had some trouble with those.

Yes, had trouble, wasted a week on trying to find a suitable price, in the end I went with an old friend from the Order, much more cost efficient, not to mention, I think in higher quality than the ones Livadia offer.

So, they'€™ll be activated after 44 is operational?

Nope, the bio-dome structures were already built and ready, we just implements the systems and everything else, growth enhancement of the finest quality as well, lots of different types of things to grow and profit from. So yeah, the bio-domes are currently operational, they just haven'€™t been added to 44'€™s structure yet, but I think they'€™ll be ready to produce a steady income of rations just after 44 becomes operational.

Good, good, and what about weaponry?

Well, that'€™s the only thing we'€™re missing, on purpose though, I just haven'€™t had the time to get to that yet, installing the weaponry doesn'€™t really take any time, a few hours or a day at most, so I'€™ll be leaving that for the last bit.

And what kind of weaponry?

Well, Zoner weaponry of course...for now, we'€™ll be focusing on anti capital setups, smaller ships won'€™t really give us a problem anyway, the actual setup, I'€™m not sure of, still trying to find a captain for 44. But I do have some pretty good people on my waiting list. I'€™m not exactly a fleet admiral or tactician, I'€™ll leave the weaponry to the captain I pick.

Valeria'€™s data-pad started beeping, as she took it out of her pocket to check what was going on, Marcus got up and went to the small bar in the corner, it was pretty well equipped with expensive drinks, he took out two glasses and started filling one up with some 80 year old wine, imported directly from Bretonia. He turned to look at Valeria as she was standing up, headed to the door.

No time for a drink?

No, just got a message about a new batch of arrivals, some might be suitable for the security force, also, the Freeport administration was looking for any donations for the new refugees.

Yeah, sent them a couple of million.

Alright, we'€™ll continue later, perhaps at that new '€˜restaurant'€™ at deck G ?

Marcus chuckled as he took a sip from the glass.

What, you'€™re asking your boss out on a date?

What? No'€¦sir. Just a better environment, we still have to talk about the fighter classes to bring, and I think we should have some bombers too, but that'€™ll be for later.

Alright, be seeing you, good luck on the security business.

Thank you sir.

With that Valeria walked out of the office, the sudden sounds of the people outside made Marcus frown until the door closed again, he took another sip of his wine and sat down on his working desk. The displays warmed up to his presence, after the initial security check, he noticed the large amounts of messages again.

Damned bastards, I hope I wont have to deal with all of this once I'€™m a damn administrator'€¦bastards.
