James: no I’m meeting the partners in the briefing room when they get done with there training,

Thresica: good I have some papers for you to sign and a report to view, I’ll get them and meet you in the briefing room.

James walked into the briefing room and sit down,

Thresica walked in with several folders and gave them to James, 1 was the listing of new employees that James need to sign for them to be added to the payroll, the second was from the sector police notifying him of the bounties and amounts that was transferred to the Company account, the third was from AP Security showing rewards for pirates captured, and the amounts paid to the Co. account, the last was the account transfers statements.

James: this is good news, we made over 78, million credits, in bounties and rewords, and the stations made over 35,million credits, I want to show this to the partners,

Thresica took the first three folders, ok Just drop it off on your way out, I’ll have the statements for the transports tomorrow,

James: good, but I may be going to Aladna Hill with the carrier,

Thresica: I’ll send it to your data pad, as she turns to leave, Mike enters,

James: ok, thank you, Mike how did the training go?

Mike: very Good I tested 2 teams and both scored over 92%,

James: wonderful Have you heard from Jeff or Sam?

Mike: Jeff is on his way here he was landing as I left the docking bay, Sam is still out,

James: I’m waiting to hear from Tracy I hope we can leave before 11:00 am,

Mike that will be pushing it, I think we should have lunch then leave, say 1:00 that should give us time to get things ready,

James: we’ll see, if Tracy is ready and the guys get in, we can have lunch on the carrier and fly to KE,

Mike: I haven’t eaten on the carrier yet, are they fully operational?

James: Tracy reported that she was,

Jeff walked in to the briefing room and announced that he has found another CAG and group leader,

James: how did they do ?

Jeff: I just finished with my 3rd team and they scored 99% the leader was Mathew Hardin and his wingman was Samantha Hester, the group before scored 98% the leader was Estelle Sandoval and her wingman was Ivory Hays my first group scored 89%

James: I think we should assign them to Phoenix 4,

Jeff: ha, we don’t have a phoenix 4
James: we will this after noon we’re going to KE to pick it up and 80 Fighters and 6 transports,

Jeff: that’s the one we letting AP use?

James yes, and I’m only sending 20 fighters and two transports with it, I thing we should send some of our people with it to protect our interests,

Mike: I agree,

Jeff: yes I see your point,

Sam walked into the briefing room,

Mike: how did it go Sam,

Sam: all right I guess, my lowest scores were 88%, because they did not try to capture the ships, they just blew them away, I explained about the benefits to capping the ships I think they will try to cap more now.

James: good Lets board the Phoenix 3 and Mike can fill you in,

Sam: ok,

James: I forgot to show you the reports here take a look at these, and hands over the folder with the account transfers statements.


Mike: now! those are some good numbers,

Jeff: wow! we really doing that good?

James: yep, the numbers say it all.

Sam: looks at the report and says, that what I’m talking about, but it doesn’t show the captured supplies or the sales of the ships captured,

James: Thresica said she would send me those other reports tomorrow,

Sam: why are we going to the Phoenix 3? And hands the folder back to James

Mike: we’re going to KE to pick up a carrier, 80 fighters, and 6 transports.

Sam: ok

James led the way and dropped off the folder to Thresica as they were leaving,

Thresica: have a good flight I’ll call you later.

James: ok

James enter the docking bay and entered his ship, Jake lets go to the Phoenix 3

Jake: roger, powering up, hatch secured, lifting off,

James strapped in and watched the departure, as his ship left the station he saw the Phoenix 3 sitting off to the left, he watched as he approached it and the bay door opened and he entered, and landed.

James unstrapped and exited the ship, James watched as Jeff landed and mike exited his ship,

Tracy walked up behind James, : James welcome aboard will you be having lunch with us?
James turned and looked at Tracy, Yes I would like to check out your dining facility.

Tracy: good I think you’ll like it. And she turned to user her communicator,

Jeff walked up and waited for the other partners with James.

When Mike and Sam arrived,
Tracy: follow me and I’ll show you the mess hall. And she turns and started walking, the partner’s follow.

Tracy led then into the mess hall that was set up like a restraint with the stewards moving about setting up tables,

Tracy approach a large table set up with coffee, tea, cups, and glasses set up, she took the head seat and motioned for the others to have a seat,

Tracy: this is my table, I use it when I want to talk to my officers during a meal, the food I ordered should be here soon help your self’s to coffee & tea, if you want something else ask the steward when the meal is delivered.

James: I like the way you have set this up, Its more relaxing the traditional set up,

Jeff: me too good job,

Two Steward’s arrived with the meals and started passing them out, and asked if they could get anything else, then left,


James: good selection of stakes, I haven’t seen any like this in a while,

Tracy: I have told my supply people to get the best for my crew, while were here in PC, and we gotten 10 days of supplies, don’t know what is available in AH,

James: good but if you leave your night crew in AP, you will have more then 10 days of supplies,


Tracy: yes I guess your right but I got my ship ready before you told me about leaving the night crew to train the crew for the Phoenix 4, and that will leave me with two shifts instead of three it will be ruff till I get my 3rd shift back and I’m losing my XO for this training, that will put all of the command decisions on me,

James: I have the confidence that you will do well and think when we get the Phoenix 4 back your XO may have his own command.

Tracy: I hadn’t looked that far yet I guess I should train another officer to act as XO. Enough of that lets eat so we can get moving I want to get to AH today,

The rest of the meal went by quietly, the stewards stopped by and filled up drinks and asked if any one wanted deserts, and took the orders then left.

When lunch was done, Tracy: I’m going to the bridge Join me when you ready, she stands and turns to leave,

James I’ll go with you, and stands and follows Tracy to the bridge,

Tracy enters the bridge and takes her seat James sat down beside her, and watched as the crew reported there status,

Tracy: yes the ship jumps very well, that is the new engines and gravity generators,

James: we will have to train a Chief Ship Repair Specialist to use the replicator for the Phoenix 4,

Tracy: I can promote one of mine to go with the phoenix 4 and train another person for my crew,

James that will work, I’m going to the docking bay to meet Salas when we dock, Join me ok,

Tracy Sure, My Night crew is on the way to the docking bay now,

Jeff: sure a lot of traffic out there,

James: I saw,

James was able to easily pick out his ships they showed up Green on the scanners, others were Blue for friendly, no unidentified or unfriendly ships were on the screens, James watched as all ships approached the jump point. When all ships reported ready, Tracy told them to jump,

James watched the screens as the ship entered Power Circle the other ships appeared and all headed toward the HQ station, James watched the Phoenix 4 Dock and the transports enter the station, then it was time for the Phoenix 3 to dock,

James: Tracy notify me when the Fighters have been unloaded from the Phoenix 4,

Tracy: Roger

James and the partners stand, James: when you are,

Tracy leads the way down to the docking area, that was now clear of people,

James: I hope Ben like the ship,

Tracy: I’m sure he will, its better then any thing he has, I wouldn’t be supersized if he doesn’t move his office over to it.

James I don’t think he’ll go that far maybe when he gets the funding to perches a few more he will move.

Just then the bay doors opened and a shuttle enters and lands, the hatch opens and Ben walks out, Hi James, you don’t know how long I have been waiting for this ship, It looked wonderful and with both of you jumping in will surely be on all of the news stations tonight, Thank you,

James: your welcome, I hope it puts a fire under the senate committee,

James: well I guess we can go to Aladna Hill,

Tracy: I’ll take care of it, and meet you in the Mess hall for dinner, turns and heads to the bridge,

James and the partners head to the mess hall. Entered and took seats

The steward arrived to take there orders, then left

James pored a cup of coffee, : I hope Ben gets the funds to buy the ships, and we need to decide were we want to go from here.

Mike: I think we should see how this venture turns out in Aladna Hill, before we move further.

Jeff: no since of adventure,

Mike: I like adventure as well as the next guy but I think we need to go one step at a time.

James: OK we’ll give it a Mazura, and keep a close eye on Ore Belt, maybe expand it with a couple of ore mines.

Mike I’ll go along with that but then what?

James: I was thinking of clearing out Farnham’s Legend or Bala Gi’s Joy and setting up stations there.

Mike that would be a big Job.

Jeff: I think the Phoenix 3 could do it alone.

James: I Think so too, we’ll see.

Tracy walked up; were in Aladna Hill and approaching the Crystal Fab,

James: good, sit down and have some dinner, are there any unfriendly ships about,?

Tracy: there were two pirate ships but when they saw us they jumped out of the system. My CAP is out and patrolling, I’ve got them on a two Stazuras rotation, that gives em 2 on 10 off

James: the pilots will like that.

Tracy: the CAG did and does have a ready back up just in case

James: good, once we get this sector cleared out I may let you clear Farnham’s Legend, or Bala Gi’s Joy.

Tracy: I’ll look forward to it.

The steward returned with the meals and passed then out.

James: when did you order yours?

Tracy: from the bridge.

They eat and then James followed Tracy to the bridge,

James check out the screens and the transports moving about, and then asked that the crystal fab be put on screen,

It was and James: it looks good there, How long before the phoenix 2 is ready to leave?

Tracy: Chris said he’ll be ready to leave tomorrow,

James: Thanks, I’ll go over later and talk to him. Then I want to check out the Silicon Mine and the Crystal Fab. And turns to leave,

Tracy: we’ll keep the sector clear.

James went to his ship, entered and called the partners, you guys want to meet me in the docking bay were taking a trip to check out the stations.

Jeff: ok, be there shortly

Mike: on my way.

Sam: on the way.

The partners arrived and loaded there ships, when all was ready James departed the ship, and headed toward the Silicon mine.

When they arrived they were met by the station Manager Boyd Delacruz,

Boyd: Hello Mr. Hawk can I show you around,

James: Yes we would like that Have you met my partners?

Boyd: no, Hello I’m Boyd Delacruz as he shakes hands with Jeff, Mike, and Sam
It is a pleasure to meet you, If you will follow me I’ll show you around.

They followed Boyd around the station, he showed them the production center, the loading center were they were loading up a transport for the Crystal Fab,

James asked have you been stocking the up for the crystal fab to open?

Boyd: not really I have already sent one transport full load to the crystal fab, and I have been selling to the locals and others that are paying top credits for the silicon chips, I don’t think we will have a problem maintaining stocks, The crystal fab will have a hard time keeping up with the demand there are 12 Solar power plants that will require the crystals, I think I will have one of my transports constantly dropping off silicon chips, and loading up with crystal to take to the solar power plants and bringing back power cells. You may have to supply more transports it was a good decision to make a large crystal fab, a lot of credits to be maid here.

James: thank you,

Boyd: lets take a look at the docking area then to security,

James: ok

They followed him to the docking bay,

Boyd: we can dock 12 transports in here and load 4 at a time when necessary, he then went to the security section, there were 6 security personnel working, the security chief Shane Fisher greeted them.

Shane: Mr. Hawk a pleasure to meet you,

James: Shane call me James, what do you think of the set up here?

Shane: James it is different from what I’m used to I have three teams of 10 Security personnel and 3 Flights of 5 Security fighters so far I haven’t had to use them except for clean up after the carrier takes out the pirates, or to pick up stranded pilots,

James: when we take the carriers out you’ll get your fill of excitement,

Shane: will the crystal fab have as many fighters?

James: probably a few more. Because they will house all of the escort ships.

Shane: thanks for the information, I think we will be able to maintain sector security for you.

James: good, let me know if you need anything,

Shane: will do,

Boyd led the group to the housing area,

James: is there enough quarters for the personnel you have on board,

Boyd: more then enough, and all of them are top notch apartments,

And I have 20 that I rent out and 10 empty for Hawk security needs that’s 80 for station personnel and 56 of those are open 10 for your people and 20 to rent, I think were safe with that,

James: yes I would say so, unless I increase the fighters here it would be 10 to 12 more pilots we’ll see, you are doing a great job keep it up, I’m headed to the Cristal Fab next, thank you for the tour, James and the partners headed to the landing dock and boarded there ships and left the station heeded to the crystal fab, they spotted two pirates being detained by the cap from the phoenix 3, James: Tracy doesn’t waste any time does she,

Mike: I guess not, think the Pirates need help, as he chuckles 10 to 2 is a bit over kill isn’t it.

James: I don’t see the Pirates trying to resist do you.

Jeff: no they probably need to change there drawers,

James: let’s go to the crystal fab, I want to see if its ready to start production.


As they landed on the Crystal Fab James saw Bernard Fry waiting for them to dock,

James exited his : hello Bernard is all going ok,

Bernard: yes the station will be ready to start production in a few Stazuras,

James: good, would you show us around,

Bernard: sure, were would you like to start?

James: the loading area then the security area,

Bernard: ok follow me.

The partners follow Bernard to the loading area,

The Loading dock contained 3 Sparrows 1 was from the Silicon Mine the other two belonged to the Cristal Fab, Bernard: we have already unloaded a shipment from the Mine and the load from this one will be unloaded soon, we have plenty of wafers and one of our ships is full of power cells, lets go to the security dock,

Upon entering the security dock James noted that there were 25 fighters docked with there crews checking them out, the security chief (Clark Crosby ) and the station CAG (Earline Gross) walked over to the group

Earline spoke first, Earline: Hi Mr. Hawk, I have gotten my pilots settled in and there assignment sheets are posted, the transports and escorts’ are ready all I need is cargo to deliver, I have assigned two transports to haul power cell for the CF, & SM, I have A flight Tm on stand by to help with sector security,

Clark: Mr. Hawk Security is ready, nothing happens on the station without us knowing about it,

James: you both have done well, I depend on both of you to keep the station and sector clear of hostiles and pirates, for now your jobs will be easy, that will change once the carriers leave the sector, Coordinate your actions with the SM and I think you will be able to do the job, If you need any thing let me know, and I’ll try to provide it.

Earline: you can count on me, I have already spoken to Shane, I only have one question, do you plan to put a CAG on the Silicon Mine?

James: I hadn’t planed on it, I think the ships in this sector will be under you control.

Earline: ok, thanks I’ll do my best

Clark: I have spoken with Shane, since he doesn’t have a holding cells, all captives will be sent here and held for Sector Security to pick up, I have a meeting with the SS chief tomorrow, I will set up the transfer procedures then, and make arrangements to assist SS, if the need arises.

James: good, Mike will brief you on the emergency response system,

Mike takes Earline, and Clark off to the side and explains the ERS to them and downloads the codes to there data pads,

James, Jeff and Sam look over the ships and pilots.
Then they all head to the operations room where Bernard shows the station and the station information there is 14 Suits 160 Apartments 9 Shops 2 snack bars, a lounge and cafeteria, there is 110 apartments in use 8 Suites 6 Shops 2 snack bars rented the Lounge and the Cafeteria are operational,

James: this is very good when will the shop’s be open?

Bernard: 3 are all ready open the other three will open tomorrow, and I have contracts on two more that will be finalized in 3 Tazuras,

James: good job, Has Marissa Sama opened a shop yet?

Bernard: yes it’s on the main concourse,

James: ok thank you for the tour, were heading over to the Phoenix 2, James Motioned for the partners to follow him to the docking bay,

James entered his ship: Jake lets go to the Phoenix 2

Jake: roger, hatch secure undocking, departing station, James saw two pirates being engaged by the 6 CAP Fighters, it was a short battle with the two pirate busters being captured and the pilots were picked up, and the 2 busters were scanned and sent to the Phoenix 3 as one of the fighters headed to the Phoenix 3 and docked,

Jeff: now that was a well Orchestrated capture.

James: yes very well done.

James watched as the Phoenix 2 came into view and the ship lined up to dock the docking doors opened and his ship slipped into the carrier, and landed

Jake: hatch opened,

James unstrapped and departed the ship, standing near by was Chris,

James: walked up to Chris

Chris: Hello James it good to see you,

Chris just smiled and shook James’ hand, I try to please.

James: let’s gather the partners and head to the conference room,

Chris: I have it already set up, as he watched Sam come in an land.

Jeff and Mike were heading toward them,

Chris greeted them and when Sam walked up, Chris lets go to the conference room I have refreshments for you.

Chris led the way to the conference room as they entered James saw a table set up with Coffee and snacks, he helped him self to some coffee and a roll and sit down.

When ever one had sit down, :Chris how did the station deployment go?

Chris: it went all right, we did have to engage several pirates to keep them from interrupting the deployment, so far my flight teams have captured 12 and destroyed 6 pirate ships, and all of the pilots were turned over to authorities,

James: good when you jump back to HQ drop off the ships, and turn in your reports to Thresica ok

Chris: ok , If you don’t need me here I would like to jump back tonight,

James: if your done with the station, go ahead and jump back, Mike and Sam will be going with you.

Chris: we are done with the station,

Mike: were ready to go,

James: ok as soon as Jeff and me depart you can jump to PC.

James and Jeff departed and flew back to the Phoenix 3.

James and Jeff met Tracy for a short briefing, then James retired for the night.
