"Might not need the suits after all," Pell said to Luhur before switching off the line. "Perfect. Tolos, what's our ETA - and Kirbali, when will we be able to get a visual on their ship?"

"We can offer you resources. And perhaps... mutual defense?" The shiplord replies.

[CELESTIAL FEDERATION] Storm-class Frigates x15: Complete!
"Close enough to get an outline of it on the sensors," said Kirbali. "Come and see it if you want." The alien began to speak again, played through the translation computer. "A ship had already been dispatched to yours when you entered the system. It will continue it's approach, and carries individuals able to discuss business."
"We are interested in resource production. Bulk shipments of resources can not meet our needs. If you are able to trade in asteroids and moons, then we will be interested. As for defense, it is not mutual. I do not see why a government would wish to protect a company, and we have no need to protect you, unless of course, you enter a contract with Latesi Celestial Security. We are not a government, Celae. We are a company, and we do business, not diplomacy," answered KT-11.

"Oh. I would like to speak with a representative of your government, then." The shiplord replies. Through his psychic communication, he tells his bridge crew: "Corporate filth.".

Pell rose from his station, striding across the bridge to stand behind Kirbali and peer at the vessel on screen.

"Usseq, you heard?" "Work has started on the new flagship?" "Indeed. Design hasn't been finalized, but for now all they have to worry about is the frame."

"We have not had a central government in several years," said KT-11.
The ship, a Reef-class cruiser, was measured at approximately 350 meters long. It tapered to a point, but was made up of sharp horizontal and diagonal angles. The rear of the ship was taken up by a huge pusher-plate, which moved as the ship approached Pell's. It soon began to slow itself, with what seemed to be nuclear thermal rockets arranged near the pusher plate, facing away from the plate. It matched velocities with Pell's ship, navigating using monopropellant RCS to close the distance between the two ships. The alien vessel deployed an umbilical to Pell's ship.

"Alright. Sayot, come with me. We're going over to meet the Federation envoys," Pell said, returning to his desk. Flicking on lines to engineering and atmospherics, Pell continued "While we're over in the alien ship, see if you two - Hulhor and Luhur - can find the time to work on modifying a suit for me. Mostly, I want you to make a list of what you can do with what materials we have. Some time after I get back, we'll talk." Turning off the intercom and picking up his book with one arm while slinging his pack over the other, he turned back to Sayot. "Take me to whichever airlock is connected to their ship."

Aaron entered the now positively cavernous chamber that would hold the Fury. Right now, the diggers were busy making a surface access for the spacecraft to use. He looked around and smelled the damp air. His feet pushed gravel over the edge of the rocky overlook gallery, and Aaron noted that the rocks fell with three times the accelleration they would hhave on Earth, and for a moment he tested it by pushing some more gravel. Then he sighed and mentally chastised himself. You're a captain. You shouldn't be playing around with dirt, and you've got other things to be doing. He yawned, took his bearings, and headed off to see how well the fabrication of lights for the base was going.

"Right." Sayot led Pell to the port airlock, and took him through the cycling. They were greeted in an umbilical by a humanoid figure, wearing an extravagant costume of brightly colored fabrics and a headdress. The atmosphere in the umbilical was very warm and humid. The alien began to speak, coming out as nonsense to Pell and Sayot. "Ah, right. Take my headset. Tell someone like Kirbali to link yours up to the translation computer. I think that's something it can do. Pretty fancy stuff," said Sayot.

"Right. Wait, I was supposed to have one of these?" Pell said as he donned the headset, adjusting it as needed. "Nevermind, we can sort it out later," he continued as he turned to the costumed creature. Hoping the alien had its own personal translator, Pell said "We were experiencing technical difficulties. Could you repeat what you just said?"

There was a loud rumble, then a cacophony of crashing noises as the base of the cliffside collapsed, and the handheld mining lasers of the digging teams went from loud whining to silence in only a few seconds. The entrance to the cavern was rough, and rubble was strewn about it, but Aaron smiled as he watched his crew people approach it to start hauling rock away. It wouldn't be long before they could get the Fury under some proper cover, and having easy access to all its equipment and its generators would speed up the work on the base significantly. Noting that damaged mining laser being used as a defensive weapons mount again, he decided he'd need to talk to Lieutenant Sheena about what weapons they could give the uplifts to accellerate them to the second dominant species on the planet.
