"Well I'm flattered," said the colonel, "I didn't think the LSF cared so much about an old fighter jockey like myself."

He looked firmly into O'Connor's eyes before continuing, still maintaining a pleasant smile as if he and the LSF agent were old friends.

"As for the Hepshetsut," he went on, "the Zoners had no part in it. It was a scrapped hulk bought from a community of Junkers in the Taus who we paid to restore it to working order."

The colonel knew that if the LSF had examined the ship in any true detail, they would know that the modifications were well beyond the skills and technological capabilities of Junkers, but the story of the ships origins was true enough.

"Besides, I think you're exaggerating about the Hepshetsut's firepower," he continued, "the powercore of a Corvo can't match any combat vessel of the same size. We might have bolted a mortar on there for emergencies but point defence weapons don't make for the most well armed vessel."
