She laughed mostly amused but with a hint of regret. "I never had time for that. And now it's too complicated..." She said, she'd have shrugged now but she was still controlled enough to not show such a lax response. "You're right, no one really just 'talks' to me anymore." It felt relieving to say that. Even if she might have just ruined her chance on a better trade by showing weakness, humanity. Maybe not being so stressed would be good for the coming months. Had he really just asked her out of curiosity? He was smiling a lot at her and in turn she felt at ease. Was there more behind that? She meant what she'd said though. It was too complicated.

"Then I'll be yours for a day," he replied, followed by him taking a sip from the steaming tea. It was a bit too hot to the tongue right now, but Ezrael didn't want to show it. There was a very slight twitch in his left eye, the one with the scar, as he just burned his tongue slightly. Successfully avoiding the fauxpas, he gifted her with a wide smirk.

Suddenly Victoria was nervous again. "Ah- I'm glad you have the time!" She replied rather quickly, scolding herself right after. That surely wasn't an appropriate response. "Once we're done with business." She quickly said then, trying to smile but thinking she was slowly losing hold on controlling where this conversation was going. What was wrong with him, or her for that matter. This wasn't really the sort of conversation she'd planned for.

That was quite funny and he slowly realized how he caused insecurity. Trying to hide his mischievous thoughts, he took another sip of tea, just to have this little awkward moment last longer. "I take it you will gather your military staff now?" he asked her, thinking it was probably a good time now to get the business done. "They will probably leave me enough time to empty the cup until they are here." The Admiral. She probably had the very same problem Sherry had on the Apahanta - taking so much distance from the crew that only Ezrael knew her other side.

She wouldn't let her relaxed mood be ruined by stress and to immediately return to protocol. She'd just look at the presentation here. It was a file, the rest of the staff could see it later. "Why don't you show it to me right here?" She asked, still lightly smiling. This was certainly a conversation she enjoyed, probably more than that. "I believe it's just a presentation of the things you have available or am I mistaken?" She asked, recalling that she'd be shown all the weaponry and granted to pick a few.

Hell yeah, he'd show it to her right here. The thing. The guns. The stuff they were here for. "Digital files, yes, on my PDA. Do you have a monitor where I can connect it to, or would you want to take a look at it on the PDA?" he asked her, as it was a matter of trust to check his PDA for possible viruses that could be transfered by connecting. Better have some protection to not get a virus. Placing his cup on the table, he fe "Here." he grabbed his PDA from the inner pocket of his jacket, to open the presentation file. Then he handed the PDA to her.

Victoria took the PDA with a smile and got up. She darkened the window and let it connect to the pda. It was just a display, nothing would be transferred but the video. Then she handed it back to him as she sat down. "Right here." She only noted and looked at him shortly and then at the display. Now there was to hope he had the presentation with him and not some embarrassing photos.

Blind trust. Incredible. "What you will see now is a file that contains information on all weapon blueprints we can offer. You will get to choose three of them for giving us the permission to salvage here. I will come back here a second time with a prepared PDA that will contain the blueprints of the weapons you want to build. Those are compatible with modern warships and need only little readjustment to work with the Harmony or whatever else you have in your fleet. One I left the station, you will receive the code that enables you to access the blueprints. A few security measures, even if I doubt they are necessary." he explained, smirking at her, then at the monitor window. Nothing that surprised him, as they used holographic window screens on the Apahanta as well - the ship had only so many actual windows showing space.

The following 20 minutes video was narrated by Commander Sherry Aguilar of the Apahanta, with just a few edits Ezrael made.

After salvaging and scavenging many wreckages of various sizes, we have finished the procession of obtained data. A good amount of data contained information about "new" weaponry of factions all over Sirius. Partially, these mentioned weapons are outdated technologies, refit for the use on modern capital ships. Other technologies are of unknown origin and approach unconventional technologies with unconventional methods. The Apahanta's combat simulation program was fed with the new data and allowed us to visualize these new weapons.

In many cases, we found multiple names and codenames for the weapons. To keep things simple, we will refer to each weapon by their codename instead of their origin-related, sometimes rather hard to pronounce titles.

Light Fighter Codename Weaponry
- FEUERBALL Light Fighter Cannon

Very Heavy Fighter Codename Weaponry
- ACROBATIC Cannon
- SUPERSONIC Cannon
- TDGWM5K Cannon
- THUNDERWAVE Cannon

Cruiser Codename Weaponry
- Cruiser Blaster Turret
- Cruiser Ion Blaster
- Cruiser Mauler Turret
- Cruiser Repeater Turret

Battlecruiser Codename Weaponry
- Battlecruiser Breaker Turret
- Battlecruiser Particle Pulse Accelerator Cannon

Battleship Secondary Weaponry
- Battleship EMP Flak Turret

Battleship Primary Weaponry
- Battleship Autopulse Turret
- Battleship Dual Gatling Laser
- Battleship EMP Dissipation Field
- Battleship Sledge Turret
- Battleship Terminator Turret
- Battleship Thumper Turret

Battleship Heavy Weaponry
- Battleship Gale Cannon
- Battleship Heavy Ion Blaster
- Battleship Kinetic Turret
- Battleship Siege Turret
- Battleship Volley Cannon








Side note: - We better keep the blueprints for the construction of those monsters in separate documents. One is the key, one is the vault. - Ezrael

Note: We don't know yet who exactly is behind the refitting of those outdated weapons or who invented the other weapons of unknown origin. All of these have been found at the same source, on board of a stranded jump ship in [REDACTED]. Connections to the so called Defilers and the Cultists are possible, yet not confirmed.

Despite it being a lot of information all the practical examples and presentations made it bearable. And after all it was only about twenty minutes. It felt a bit short considering that this deal had the potential of winning wars, deciding life and death. "This is not a simple decision. I assume you are selling or trading further blueprints should we need more?" She leaned forward, looking over the list. She didn't want to spend a lot of time on this considering they really needed to get production going. "Blueprints for the Gale Cannon, the Kinetic Artillery and the EMP Flak. I assume those will be needed most." She decided then. Luckily she did have considerable experience in warfare of this scale and it allowed her to make a decision that she could defend later on. "These shouldn't be too difficult to manufacture once we manage to replicate them." She assumed, lacking the engineering background to be certain.

The decision was made pretty quickly. Giving her a surprised look, accompanied by his typical smirk, he took his cup of tea again. It was noticably cooled down now. "Good. I will inform Commander Aguilar to prepare a PDA. It will be on your desk tomorrow." Another sip. Then a lopsided look at her. "Of course, if you want to add some funds to the deal, the PDA could have a few more blueprints. Houndr- let's say fifty million credits per blueprint." Although she made the best choices, he thought. Survivability instead of brute force. Just like he chose for the Apahanta.
