"I just got news, Nature's Last Hope did this?! Oh, and by the way, Dha, sorry bout the 80 milllion credit deficit..."
"This is not time for jokes, McCloud." Mandalore Cabot stated. "Now, state your business."
"Sir," Luc said, with a tiny hint of sarcasm in his voice, "I come to report that upon hearing what happed to Dha here, I sent Luftwaffe to hunt the b******s down. Infact, we will be launching the Aurora MKII to follow them within the hour."
Dha leaned up, only to be struck with pain and to fall back down. "Aurora MKII?"
"New ship, our techies kinda, ah, 'Borrowed the shell and skeleton design from the Kusari Naval Forces. Uses mainly Rheinland tech, a beautiful vessel."
"Ah, and its power?" The mandalore asked, suddenly interested.
"Sadly, its lacking armor, but its more maneuverable than a Rheinland Gunboat, with almost the same power. Also, I may have a proposition with the Blood Dragons."
"Oh?"
Dha started to snore and drift into a hazy sleep...
"I feel it is time for the Mandalorians to possess their first Battleship. a Command HQ, a Symbol if you will. If we play our cards right, we may be able to sign off a deal with the Blood Dragons. If we satisfy them with a few Contracts, particularly against KNF, and make a mutual agreement, we may be able to get the plans to heir newest Battleship, the Togo. With a few modifications, we will rename her, the Red Oktober. Now, Dha here-" Dha shifted slightly "- wonders why I have a 80 million credit deficit." Dha mumbles in his sleep 'pay back my money, McCloud, or I'll have your head...' Suddenly, Luc rubs his throat. "This is because I rented a trader. I'll start trading to support this behemoth. I just need your approval."
The mandalore seemed as if in a trance of deep thought. "I dont know yet, Luc. I'll consider it."
"Aye, sir. I best be getting off then, dont wanna be late to the surprise party." Luc had an evil grin. "Hey, sir, you like baseball?"
"Not my favorite, but rather fond of it, why?"
"Bring your mitt. By this time tomorrow, we're gonna be playing catch with his balls."
