Jimmy listened carefully as the others spoke, but was summoned to a wall console to hear some interesting news. He couldn't believe it. It seemed they had bought some time.
He turned back to the room to give them the news, a wry smile on his face.
"My friends, it looks like we have delayed any threats for now. We have submitted altered papers that are well forged and should pass as legitimate for some time. We will run the base crew at a reduced crew and all interior insignias need to be hidden or removed. We'll let them inspect it, this one time while activity is lower. Consider it an evacuation drill. When they have left, we will set things back to how they should be.
You didn't expect me to tell them we are a Xeno base out here did you? That would have been suicide. No, we did some "careful preparations" on those papers. We will run Alliance operations from Milford until this is resolved. In the meantime, expansion will continue and things will go on without much danger or outside interference.
You guys know the deal, just keep the place discreet and business will continue to operate as normal, for now."
He sat down again, waving for one moere drink before preparing to evacuate most of the personal. He wouldn't risk having anyone on the Creek that could be recognised and potentially link to the Xeno Alliance movement. It would be temporary, enough to deflect any further focus on what was really going on here.
