Well, well. It’s been a while since we’ve seen you around, Erik.
Vacation. You know how it is. Had to come back eventually though.
Well, you’ve shown up just in time to vote on the war matters.
Right, right. What is the latest new on the war, then?
The latest… for Christ’s sake, Erik, where have you been?
Tyrador.
Tyrador’s a civilised planet, Erik. You can follow the news there.
When you go to Tyrador, you don’t want to follow the news.
I bet. Invited by the Calabas?
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Right. Anyway, the war’s over. We’re here to discuss how the loot will be spread out.
Oh, good.
Don’t get your hopes up. Likely as not, it’s all going to the Old Families.
All of it?
Well… everything that’s in Confederate hands, anyway.
What do you mean?
Listen, you know how the Kel-Morians bolted back to their homeworld? The Confederacy’s secured most of the disputed assets, but there are a few that are still in enemy hands, barely. As long as those end up in Confederate hands, who’s to complain? So I figure now’s the best chance to rush in and seize those resources before the Fleet gets them.
You’re going to do that?
I hired some people.
And how did you find out which locations to hit? News or no news, there’s no way M. Terra would allow UNN to broadcast that. And I don’t even see that information in the Senate documents.
Don’t look to the Confederacy for answers, look to the Morians.
And they’d tell you why?
Think about it. They’ve recalled forces from all over the Sector back to Moria. It’s a logistical nightmare, they’re still dealing with that now. It’s impossible to keep all that hidden, if you pay attention, you’re bound to learn something useful.
Clever. So what’re you going for? That refinery on Edis?
Edis? No, we got that months ago. Bennet owns it now.
Bennet? Really?
Maybe it was Kusinis… whatever, point is Edis is unavailable.
How about the one near Gramercy City? That one had a good yield too.
I know what you’re trying to do, Erik. Find the information yourself. That’s what you get for lounging about while honest people are working.
