[Lusitano]

* Marius was back to work. The incident of the terrorist attack over Erie is too confused. Erie is not one strategic target, also ... if they were terrorist .. why noboady did a claim of the attack?! All terrorist make claims of their attacks, and how Liberty forces knew that thre was one imminent attack?! But that is another story.

Marius returned from Gallia with some samples, the first report just arrived to his desk. Some have interest, like plastics and petrochemicals and promethene, while others don't. Oil and LPG are too pollutants, despite that oil could be used to make some very good lubribicants. None of this could be found on Erie, because it takes a long time to nature "make" oil and Erie is too young. On other planets there exist some but not on the amounts on Gallia. Plastics and petrochemicals are the ones that Marius had more interest but, they are too expensive and hard to get. Too bad! He leaves his office and goes to the new part of the factory, that he bought few days ago. It is a huge warehouse from one import and export company, that the Libertonian owner fled with all the money leaving 100 Zoners unemployed, and Marius toke the opportunity and get a bigger docking plattform and more physical space to build larger projects.*

- Aristides - Marius there you are! I need you to look at this.

* It was estimate costs for the development of new projects. Some several millions but some of this projects will have some fine revenue, mainly some new sea ships that will be built for Erie's deep sea exploration*

- Aristides - You know that people are talking about that, the terrorist attack was staged by Liberty and OSC, to increase Liberty authority over all Pennsylvania!

- Marius - Aristides i don't care! I think Liberty is not dumb enough to make a full claim over Erie. They know that the there will be a rebellion like the one on 760's, and they will not win ... neither the Zoners! So let's live this way and we are better than on Gran Canaria, that is full of Corsairs and Bretonians!

* Both men continued talking *

- Marius - Did the Phoenix replied to your message?

- Aristides - No.

- Marius - Hmmm!!! We will see! Remember we will not suply directly the Order. You know well what Liberty can do with they find out.

- Aristides - We could make some different ones! We still have some desings very different from our line.

- Marius - Your right! Is better that way!

* So they continue, on a normal thursday, the end of the month and thank Go, no finacial problems and all wages were paid.*
