Bauer took out a datapad, and quickly typed something before putting it in his pocket
There is something I want to tell you.
Bauer kept silent for a few seconds, thinking on his next words.
You know you will be operating in the most dangerous system in Rheinland space, no matter where you look, there is always something or someone waiting to kill you. Inside Solarius you are pretty much safe, there are cameras on every corner, and an APS detachment working with base security, not too mention the several layers of armor, that makes the base a bit uncomfortable...
Bauer looked outside, through the large windows on the bar walls.
But outside... that star is extremely powerful, spilling radiation like mad, hessian hobos are behind every asteroid, there are unidentified ships at times, military personnel acting strange, pirates, mercenaries, and what not; everyone taking his share of the system.
Bauer looked at the archaelogists for a few seconds, then he smiled a them.
Now don't get me wrong, the point is not to scare the hell out of you, after all, we are still here so we are pretty good at fending off all the dangers... Or running from them, but if you are going to work here you need to know what you will find out there and be prepared.
Bauer looked at the entrance, looking for someone
Now what is going on with base commander... He should be here already.
Hmmm... I know, I guess you are wondering what all these uniforms mean, there are many variations among the corporation for different jobs. Yeah that's a good way to kill some time
See the one with the filthy flight suits, they are processors, working inside hegemons classifying the ore. The biggest group in Solarius.
The ones with the dark green flight suits, are security pilots, another big group, at least here. Some docking bay workers use them too.
The ones with the yellow/green suit are either captains, or work at administration...
Bauer wasn't sure if he should go on or not, perhaps the archaeologists were just faking interest on the matter. He looked at the entrance of the bar for a few seconds, finally a man with dark olive and black suit showed up and walked towards the group, the rest of the workers greeted him as he walked, it was clear he was an important man.
And those wearing suits like these, are important guys.
Bauer stood up and greeted the base commander like long-time friend
They told from The Ring me you were in jail after the little incursion in the Bretonian field.
Gustav said.
If that's the information you got, then it means the system is working flawlessly... But no, some officers arrived, and that was my last transmission to Rugen, then I had to pose as a civilian adrift, good thing I was on the recon tiger shark, and spent the next week on New London... Errmm...
Herr these are Franz Maister and Klaus Henker, the archaeologists.
Bauer knew had let out too much, he sat down again and tried to avoid any further eye contact with the archaeologists.
It's a pleasure to meet you Herren., my name is Gustav Woelfen and I am Solarius Base Commander. Now I believe you are busy men as me, so a quick introduction, and then lets get down to business.
Just like everyone else on the base, Woelfel didn't look too happy. The rest of the workers at the bar suddenly showed interest on the table, it was made clear that the two visitors were more than that.
