*Jimmy's expression turns dark, when Rush mentions slavery, but it's gone almost instantly when he realise the scientist was just joking.*
"Well, money can take ye far, if ya 'now how to use 'em. I spent most of me time with me group tradin' and supplin' different bases. I might not 'now how to build 'em, but I certainly got to 'now a lot of blokes workin' on 'em. And besides, these modular bases ain't that hard to put up, really."
*He pauses for a moment, looks at his PDA, and than he put's it down.*
"Yeah, I figured ya might hire some help for yer research. I dinnae 'now much 'bout science, I admit it, but I reckon it ain't that different from other fields, at least in it's hunger fer manpower. There will certainly be a room fer ya all, the base ain't that small. Though it might take some time before I get the labs and rooms ready. Speakin' of which, I'll need ya to make a list of stuff ya'd need installed or supplied. Some of the blokes 'ere will later take ya to the place where the lab will be. Oh and dinnae worry. I had to tell them there will be a lab, not a chance of hindin' it anyways, but they all think it will work on improving the stuff the factories will manufacture. Well... Patrick, the lad who showed you the way 'nows the truth, 'cause he's the one runnin' the base. He needs to 'now in case somethin' goes wrong."
*he clears his throat*
"That bein' said, ye have to be carefull. I really dinnae want to come 'ere, just to see a Jump Hole instead of the station. There's about four hundred people workin' 'ere, give or take, and I'd like fer them to stay alive and healthy."
