"Oh, I'm sure of that. Get home safely. We will bring this vessel to Coronado."
It would be a shame if they did all this and ended without a contractee. Rell truly hoped that nothing happened to the guy. Ah well. They were almost done.
The GRG|'s shielding seemed stable, the structural integrity of the husk was within acceptable levels and Rell had found a decent position to rest his shoulder in.

"Okay, everyone, we are done here. Get into position. After that last attack, I want two Wreckers with us. You are there to make sure that we don't get attacked. Also keep your tractor beams at normal capacity, in case we somehow lose control over the husk's inertia." Rell thought for a moment. Yes, it would work this way. it had to.

"Three frigate captains, take position near the husk's bow. The harrow will take care of the upper port. The four of us take the vessel through the lanes, gates and holes.
Tamed Kerberos, I want you and two other liners at the stern. You help with manouvering at impulse and cruise speed. Don't enter the trade lane with us. Once we are at the rings, go ahead and wait for us to help with slowing the husk down and keeping the torque in check."

Preperations took a few minutes. After some bickering, all ships were in position. It was time for the second journey. The dummy circuits had been replaced and the tractor beams were ready. The shielding was active and stable. Everything was ready.
Everything, except for him. Rell couldn't take the helm, not with this ongoing pain. Earl would have to take command again in a few minutes.
He made a mental note to schedule another surgery. If things didn't improve after that, Cybernetics would be his last option.

"Okay, everyone. Begin building up impulse speed, ten units over three seconds. Remain at maximum for six seconds. After that, enable cruise. Report any problems immediately, even ones you can fix. Go!"

And with that, they were off. The Junker Congress was on its way to Coronado, to finally hand over the second cruiser wreck.
It had taken them quite some time to finish their work. Rell hoped that help for Ingolstadt would not come too late.

But that was for others to work on. Once he was back, he'd have the doctors cut him open again.
Despite the treatment, his muscles hadn't recovering as they should. Something was wrong.
But that was for the medical staff to find out and fix. First, he had to do his job. Rell leaned back, winced and took a nap while his crew went through the motions.

---

He only awoke when they finished their last jump. His crew had done it. Safe for a slightly confused freelancer, there had been no interruptions.
Rell noted down a million credits for everyone aboard the Harrow and sent payments to the other captions. They would be at Sabah soon enough.
He dozed off again. It always paid to give people a nice surprise every now and again, especially for a job well done.
