Gems, Supplies, Allies and Shady Deals

[Pavel]

Von-Geld smiled a little after Wattenscheid's words. Sure of himself, not without satsifaction, replied:

- We've been toying with that idea in the Security Division for some time now. Savages or not, in our understanding, Corsairs may be very useful to our plans, and such secret priceless ally with already estabilished renown does not need to care of subtle diplomacy issues.

Looking politely at Lucia playing with her phone, he continued:

- First transports with arms were already delivered, alongside industrial materials, fuel and some food. As we're just beginning, scale of the operation is limited. We need more time, clearer agreement with their Elders and proper infrastructure for that. I suppouse only infrastructure will prove to be a challenge here; we're talking about constant supply link through deep Omegas handled not by small smuggler freighters, but by at least medium-sized transports. We need special places on our side to store the goods before departure and we need them on their side as well. Dozens of mechanics, guards, logistics coordinators, translators... Overall, we speak about building special infrastructure on Crete and compound housing up to two hundred of our people in minimal version.

Von-Geld took a small break.

- I said about minimal version, because here we begin talking the clou of Security Division's plan to support Corsairs directly, not only with material aid.

Our proposal is to send mercenary wing to fight together with Corsairs against their and our foes in deep Omegas.


Looking victoriously at Wattenscheid, Von-Geld waited for answer.
