I know where you sleep

He could only contain a smile watching her reaction, seeing her stop and stare at the screen and in contrast to her disbelief he would move a hand out to ruffle her hair, though it was unlikely he was messing it up anymore than it already was providing it was Sarah, with her doubling over laughter, he lofted a brow in surprise and that would also drown out his previous open expression.

“I’ll actually have you know that with some ships, I actually don’t look to have them stolen, just claimed by alias’, I had these serviced recently due to me keeping a small number of these ships for work on the Anubis when I didn’t have a station to dock at with the capability of servicing a battleship - so I had the foresight to requisition a few of these vessels along with a surplus to spread these out, I contracted these out to people that would lease them for station repairs then retract them when they were needed for my person use before being put back out to lease - This is rather new so it’s not been flown by anyone but me and currently holds just near Freeport two in Bering - sorry to burst your bubble about my thief rate status.”

His brows furrowed in a deeper contemplation as she spoke of the last section and more meaty response of her words talking about the attack and the troubles she had been having which something had slipped his mind being it was one of his ships there were modifications on the ships itself which were mostly technologically based.

“Oh right, about the sensor thing, it does have masking tech as I didn’t really want the vessels to be tracked or picked up by scanners when moving out to repair the Anubis, so it has a few systems to prevent it being picked up with anything conventional - though eyesight is a something you’ll still have to work with but at least a still bit more manageable, I just hope that your friends don’t decide to try rip the tech out and use it in something else, being it is your gift - as for giving me something, you know me. More one to give then receive, your gift is your reaction.”

He did contain the insistent urge to ruffle her hair once again but so far retained is composure and instead shifted his hands into his pockets to further still that temptation. With the last part of her side of the conversation out he would only usher a sigh, the oversight with the ping was bad enough but he was confident that the Anubis would be beyond finding

“Well being that its well enough hidden, I doubt they would get slugged being that the ship it’s self is for stealth operations, kind of the reason why I chose to hide it in a cloud as its rather thick, besides I would be more worried about the Rheinlanders trying to find it due to the research station within the nomad mine field within that nebula.”

He was hesitant to announce his ships presence to anyone but seeing as it was Sparks asking this of him he gave it more consideration than he normally would for others and gave a nod. Agreeing, reluctant to do so but all the same, his fingers blurred across the screen of his own wrist mounted PDA typing up a message on which he would show Sarah

To: Fraya

“I apologize for the scare with the ping, it was not my intention to throw your operations into disarray, merely I was trying to find out the position of the Rheinland military units and patrols after jumping in to the system being the exact location of such a jump is not easy to divine. Once again I apologize for the scare but there is no threat to your base at least from the one who pinged the source. Hope I have not caused to much chaos.”

“oh and I am on the station with Sarah.”

He would hit the send button and looked up at the Emergency banner curiously seeing if it might disappear sometime soon but he got bored of watching it and looked back to Sarah and ruffled her hair instinctively, once again. A coy smile on his face for a moment before it lessened to a more neutral based feature. “So I take it that your boss is going to come here with a very, very unhappy attitude?”
