Gründer Industries - The Past is Back

[Gründer Industries]

Dominik Mertins: What do you say? Gallenstein?...That is rather laughable..
Lisa Mertins: Sadly, it is not and you know, that is the only way...
Dominik Mertins: Don't think so...but anyway.
Deggert Brown: One question, why am I here?
Lisa Mertins: Because, we need you and everyone else, which was in contact with the Project "Vasura"
Deggert Brown: Vasura?...What is that?...
Lisa Mertins: A weapon, which will cause a disaster if it gets into the wrong hands...
Deggert Brown: Aha, and what is the purpose to bring me to this rusty bucket of doom?...
Lisa Mertins: You brought the materials to Gründer, to produce one of those bombs...
Deggert Brown: Uhm...I cannot remember....Wait a second..Now I got it...Omega-41. I was there, with my Recon Cruiser..for probes and setting up a few drones...after an encounter with The_Joker...
Lisa Mertins: Joker....
Deggert Brown: Well, he was in company with a Nomad...I guess he tried to talk with one but the Nomad was rather amused...
Lisa Mertins: Doesn't matter, where did you go after your mission?..
Deggert turns to the window
Deggert Brown: My first time, I mean betrayal...I gave the probes of the Neutron Star to a Gründer Captain, with the name Ashley Rowny. We didn't talk much, he handed me over the money and I gave him the probes then we separated again. As far as I know, he flew to Cran Canaria in Omega-49 and disappeared then..
Lisa Mertins: Betrayed the Order. *coughs*
Deggert Brown: You know, greed is a sins but I wanted to get rid of this Order Stuff.
*Dominik coughs*
Dominik Mertins: I must say, you did it well. Stranded on a Freeport without much money and a ship.
Deggert Brown: Well, not everything went as planned...to be exact nothing. Still, the Omega-41 job was the only thing..where I had contact with Gründer.
Lisa Mertins: Doesn't matter, you will help us...
Deggert Brown: How?..
Lisa Mertins: I know, you have a lot of contacts around Sirius...
Deggert Brown: Yes..
Lisa Mertins: As far as I know, you have also contact with a BDM Agent. Susanne Weirich...
*Deggert raises the eyebrows and turns away from the window to face Lisa*
Deggert Brown: How do you...
Lisa Mertins: I was lost a lot of times, but I have also my contacts from the past or do you think I would plan terrorist attacks without any information..
Dominik Mertins: Uhm, Lisa. This game is a bit risky if we work with the BDM together or anyone which is doesn't care much,,,
Lisa Mertins: I know I know, but we have no chance if we work solo...We need everyone in this matter..
Deggert Brown: Susanne Weirich..Well, as far as I know she is right now on New York, Pittsburgh.
Dominik Mertins: Aha, the dirt hole of Liberty. Cheap drinks and dust...
Deggert Brown: I'll go there...
Dominik Mertins: Yes, with me..
Deggert Brown: I guess, I have no other choice...
Dominik Mertins: Not really.
Lisa Mertins: Gut, that is set now...
Dominik Mertins: We will head back to the Barrier Station and fly with a shuttle to Pittsburgh..Don't want to show my Mjolnir in Liberty, they are still caution about everything with a Rheinland mark on the side..
Deggert Brown: Well, then lets go...
*Deggert walks out of the room
Lisa Mertins: Be careful, don't want to see your grave in the future
Dominik Mertins: Jawohl, Lisa.
*Dominik leaves as well
*Lisa turns to the window and takes a deep breath
Lisa Mertins: Oh ja, sometimes the world changes.
*Suddenly, Gallenstein is in the room and sighs
Lisa Mertins: Don't scare me like this...
Gallenstein: Pardon, but I not really used to this. Anyway, I figured out, how they could get some Neutron Star stuff. Puerto Rico, as far as I know the Junker guards it..But, with enough Credits, you know.
Lisa Mertins: Give a Junker a handful Credits, and he will deliver you criminals and slaves to the darkest corner of Sirius. Really stupid...
Gallenstein: Also, my calculation. Vasura is highly unstable...don't know, how they want to create an useful weapon from this.
Lisa Mertins: Trust me, in one thing the humanity is really good. Weapons, to make them useful, it doesn't matter how, or how many lives only the result counts...
Gallenstein: True...You still regret a lot of things in your past..
Lisa Mertins: Ja, but I cannot reverse it.



(SOMEWHERE IN CORONADO)

*On the bridge of the Destroyer

William Riser: Hey, Charlie..ambush happened here?...Right? RIGHT?!!
Charlie Seifert: Yes, but sadly we were too late..
William Riser: You know, you are dump like a bag filled with leaves...
Charlie Seifert: Yes, Yes...Just kick the man which is already on the ground.
William Riser: Your fault, deal with it...Any readings here?..
Charlie Seifert: A lot of Antimatter here..looks like a bit Rhinelandish...Green Plasma and Missiles, but basics..
William Riser: Rhineland?..,
*William scratches his head
William Riser: Rhineland, wait..wasn't the prof affiliated with Gründer this Ex-Rhineland Company Stuff?
Charlie Seifert: Sometimes, I'm really surprised you didn't die already...
William Riser: Why?..
Charlie Seifert: Because, you are really a smart donkey with a lot of brain farts...
William Riser: I take this as a compliment...
*Charlies rolls the eyes
William Riser: Seriously, who would attack an transport with Freelancer Transponder....
Charlie Seifert: Bundesnarch..thing? Military Black Operation? Or just a few Pirates?
William Riser: Denied, they had nothing with value aboard except the prof a few supplies...
Charlie Seifert: Hey, I have an idea...Lets stop by the Barrier Station and investigate this a bit...maybe, we will find out what happened there...
William Riser: Good idea...Franky? Set course for the Barrier Station, we will head over with a shuttle then...and don't touch my cigars and drinks.
Franky: Aye Aye......moron...
William Riser: Hey, what did you say?...
Franky: Nothing..
