E-023-Oliver: Merchant Freighter Spanial (Docked at Zarg’s World Highport), Control
“Is was wondering about his reports, but, sure.”
She looks at Oliver carefully for several seconds then changes the subject.
“By the way, I’ve decided we’ll bypass New Zargland and go straight to Mundo Zargo.”
“Halcyon isn’t an idiot. He doesn’t even want to be on that job. I doubt he’d make even more work for himself.”
He scratches the back of his head. “Half the crew are former criminals, if you’re doing Frederick’s work I’m sure we can get you a leave. It won’t become an issue.”
He nods at her other comment. “If that is you prerogative. I will accompany you and assist you and your crew with any tasks they wish.”
“That being said, I would appreciate it if my cover isn’t blown. Whether that means telling your crew I’m a civvie now and this is a private job, or if it means telling them about my status and adding secrecy to their duties that is up to you. But if my mission fails because a member of the Spanial compromises it…” he chooses his words carefully here. “Then I believe it will invalidate our deal.”
