Doc sighed at the mention of Cassini. It was bad enough that he had to admit to a Rogue what his intentions were but to Jack? He was a friend sure enough but he was also a Junker, a high ranking official of a group that had been known to traffic cardamine and slaves. To most, Doc would mention things without much thought but for the first time in a long time, he showed worry.
"Jack, I....." he paused, obviously bothered, "You are a friend, a good friend, one of the few that I have and I'm afraid of what you would think of me if I got down to the true root of what I desire. For the wrong person to find out of my intentions, it wouldn't be a bounty on my head but a full fledged death warrant."
Doc sighed again only this time, he took the bottle and re-filled his glass, "I'm here, for now, to get supplies for the abandoned Foster base in Cassini. It is a place I can work under the radar and away from House corporations and authorities." He paused a moment to wet his palate, "I've been chatting with some Rogues there to re-furbish the base for them to use and for me to work under their protection."
He took a large sip, "I even mentioned a biodome. Still, this is all in discussion right now." He finished his drink and looked at Jack with a straight face, "How much do you trust me, Jack?"
