Hearing the concerns over Baffin, Doc raises his hand to add a comment.
"Even though Mal has left us, I have, in the past few days, recruited some new pilots. I made a plea for fighter and bomber pilots in particular so hopefully that will help out."
He finished the last sip of his drink and handed it to the attendant for a re-fill, "It's no secret that we are capital ship heavy in TAZ and have more trade ships than combat ships which is why I have sought this help. I want to be prepared and I don't want to have to ask a house military for help as it seems they all want a piece of Zoners wherever they go. I need not mention Erie or the Port Jackson colony on Gran Canaria as proof."
He then looked to his Klingon friend, "I am hoping that the 5th Foo Fighters in the Taus get some strength and numbers. Being at Freeport 6 will keep you all in short range of the jumphole."
