Renewed, repaired, reequipped. The Archangel looked like a brand new siege cruiser. There was no trace of damage that it took in Kansas or somewhere else. The insides were cleared off and all missing hardware was installed. There is, however, the one misding component - the crew. Hawk knew that without an apropriate amount of people they won't be able to fly the siege cruiser properly. However, he had only two ideas. The first one was his old friend Presley, who retired from Liberty Navy after their adventure in Kansas. Although, Jason was expecting a denial from him. In that case, he had a second option - the Incognito. He knew that he has a lot of agents across the Sirius Sector and that few of them might be recruited as Archangel's crew.
26.10.823 A.S, The Archangel, Captain's Cabin
He was sitting in his cabin, still looking at the panorama of Vespucci system. Sometimes, he was switching his attention to the communicator. It was obvious that he was awaiting for somebody's call, but they didn't contacted him just yet. He was holding a bottle of Liberty Ale, still considering it not as the best drink in Sirius, but not worst at all. Finally, the communicator started to blink and he went to it. He pressed the button and saw the same slender silhouette of Incognito's back. "I was wondering when our paths will cross once again, mister Hawk. Despite of our last talk... I'm glad to hear you." His voice was calm as ever, evrn it sounded like Hawk never raged at him. Despite of it, Jason's voice was determinated, but with a little note of confusion."Myself as well, Incognito. I have to ask you to do something for me, Lex and the Archangel as whole. We need a team and I think that you have quite enough people who can be a part of my crew." Incognito was thinking for a while, still smoking his cigar. "I asume that you have a pretty good relationship with Hellfire Legion, since you ask for not any supply or basement, but people. That's quite different. - he exhaled, - What the exact type of specialists do you need?" Jason smiled and started to list everyone that he needs: "We already have a radio operator. We need about two weaponry operators, one for the heavy weaponry, the other one for the light, an additional one who had experience with forward weaponry, two engine technicians, one pilot and cloak-disruptor operator. But please... None of them must be related to Nomads." An another moment of silence from Incognito. He was looking through his database, getting a strikt numbers of people that Hawk needs. "Perhaps I have enough people that you need. I will tell them to gather up at Curacao in the beginning of 11th month. Is that all?" Hawk exhaled. "Yes. Thank you very much." He stepped back from the communicator and continued to stare at the panorama of Independent worlds. Suddenly, he felt the great potential of upcoming meeting. Was it a warning or a cheer? He didn't bothered. He looked at his father's portrait and smiled. "Don't worry, dad. I will reveal those who stand before all of this mess... And will end them up."
