Project Protection

[JunkerTown]

*San Juan Tavern*

Smoke and whiskey smells fills the air.
Music is playing at a very low volume in the background.
The bar is unusually quiet especially following the fight that just took place.
After such a win it would be expected to see Junkers in there celebrating.
But not tonight..
James Trenton has San Juan on lockdown and everyone working triple shifts.
As he enters the bar the barkeep looks up and says..
AHH Mr. Trenton.. tis good to be seein ya agin!
What'll it be sir da usual?

James responds..
Thats right George but make it a double and gimme two of em.

Come'n rite up!

Bartender pours the drinks as he slides them over to James he says.
Sir Congressman Finnegan show'd up a few minutes b'fore ya's got here.
He's wait'n for ya ova in da corner.

James swigs back the first double shot in one gulp and puts the empty glass down on the bar.
He reaches for the second drink and says..
Ah that explains the smell then!

The barkeep laughs out loud.
HAHAHA dat sounds bout right sir!

James picks up his second drink..

Thanks George.. gonna head on over and talk with Finn some.

Very good sir.

James turns around and heads over to the corner where Finnegan is.
As he walks up Tim doesn't move just looks up and grins.
James smirks as he says..
Finnegan my ole friend..
Great to see ya again.

James sees a bit further up Finnegan's kilt than he wanted.
He turns his head and puts one hand up to cover the view.
Gawddamnit Finn!!
Brotha its good to see ya but I don't need to see that!

James sits down in the booth.
Positioning himself so that he won't be viewing Finnegan's nether region.
He finishes his second drink and slams the empty glass face down on the table.

Finn when you became a director you were shown the secret archives.
You know of our origin and what took place here so very long ago.
That information was classified and only shown to those in Congress command.
Well as time does to all things it is causing that to change.
We cannot keep the secret any longer with these attacks.
Soon we will show all of the Congress the files.

James pauses as he pours himself a drink from Finnegan's bottle.


Not right now though.
No right now I need them focused on the defense structures.
Once we get our weapon platforms online we will call a meeting.
Then our secrets will be revealed and everyone in the Congress will know.
Until then I need you to download all the schematics for the Gordon into our central mainframe.
Then move to Vieques and get with the crew there to do some reverse engineering.
We must reproduce that ship exactly to offer Rico more protection.
I have Tyber working on a scylla we acquired from the Rogues.
Also I have a line on second scylla but I still need to contact the Mollys for that.

James finishes the drink and slams down the glass.
