Gladius et Incursus.

[Echo 7-7]

"I find this a most agreeable arrangement. I will have the I4 brought to Pacifica along with pilots to pick up the Solidaritat bombers, at a time that suits us both, and we can make a formal exchange."

Kinnaird tapped on his tablet and handed it back to Captain Hargraves. Hargraves returned the tablet to the briefcase and sealed it.

"Gentlemen. Please leave us. Wait for me back at the shuttle. My guards will remain outside."

"As you wish, Admiral."

The three officers returned their glasses to the shelves by the wall and politely excused themselves, saluting to Yvonne and the Admiral on the way out. As the door sealed behind them, Kinnaird turned back to Yvonne.

"While the offer of manpower is always worth considering, I think you may find that it would be better to keep your workers on home ground for now. What I am about to discuss is strictly confidential and should not go beyond your must trusted advisors."

Kinnaird waited until he had Yvonne's full attention.

"I would like to discuss the possibility of the Unioners constructing a RH-GM461 "Hel"-class Cruiser for the Legion."
