Meeting with the Yamo family.

[Pancakes]

As Hawk got closer 4 of the fighters closed in. He could tell that their weapons were ready to fire, and as he got into direct viewing range he understood why - the cruiser was in ill repair, with many hull sections breached and seemingly most weapons non-functional.

However the ancient vessel had much ire in it, the type that makes everyone who see it awe in respect.

After he moored the cruiser hailed to him.
"This is the Red Court hailing to Hawk, you have clearance to dock."

Hawk docked, and was escorted from the small hangar bay that couldn't support more than 2 couples of fighters if it was in a better condition.

As he reached the command bridge, a figure sitting on a rather small throne facing away from him addressed "Konnichiwa, Freelancer, you may have heard of me and may have not, but it does not matter. We both have an urgnet need that needs to be fulfiled, and ever since the downfall of the Rising Sons our family was in... ill state. So, we require your services.
As such, we must regain a working base of operations, as in the movement we had the ability to base off others' home. A grave mistake. This vessel, the Red Court was our ancestral home. It took us to safety some 450 years ago when our family was casted out. However, it was last massively repaired about 190 years ago, and was completely abandoned but a few guards, 69 years ago when my father started his reign.

So, to repair you need materials, and those are hard to get. Not many are willing to give such a huge amount kf resources to our kind, be it paid or donated. Which is where you get in.

At your containment bay you have two wild pilots in cryogenic state, take them to anyone who would be willing to pay with all the needed resources to make the Red Court fully operational and combat ready, as some things are simply not traded for money.
I will also attach you this credit card charged with 8 million credits, that you could use as further leverage, any sum that remains on it is yours to take.

Do mind that we don't care where our marerials come from as long as they come. If our enemies wish to fuel our ships we will not deny it from them."
