Doc continued to walk with Quiron, trying his best to share concerns and being re-assuring at the same time.
"I think that no matter where we put a Persephone that it will generate interest. Put it in the Omegas or Omicrons, you have Corsairs, Bounty Hunters, Hessians, Outcasts and Nomads wanting a piece of it. I've even seen Prince DeFrance at FP11 after he hitched a ride on someone's jump drive. No kidding, I was right there when it happened getting a load of iridium."
He nodded at his mention of greediness. "I agree with you on that," he answered. "I have spent much of my life under the gun before the Zoner way so I understand your concern. I've killed more men with a gun than I care to admit or remember. Still, when it comes to greed, one can only hope people don't resort to that. Credits generate greed and you will find that we don't keep a lot of it here in TAZ. Freedom is what we crave. If I was a greedy man, medical would be very expensive but with me, it's free. Still, no one can predict who might turn."
"I can only promise you this," he continued, "if the Persephone were to stay here in Baffin, it will be well hidden and disguised. I think I have enough other ships in system to where it will be in their shadows. So long as I'm administrator, no ship here will be an aggressor, not even the Persephone."
