He raised a hand as he had just taken a sip of his drink and his mouth was full. After he swallowed, he quickly replied. "To a point. The base in Baffin was an old mining base that a patrol found. It was isolated so we re-configured it for a research lab. I do not foresee it getting any bigger but really, it does not have to be. Pygar? We maintain a base outside of it but it is a Zoner colony now. Med Force Enterprises only support the medical needs there as we have no real authority there. We have streamlined our operations there. Our old base, Med Force General-B was sold although the new owners never changed the name at least, last I knew that had not."
His face dropped a bit when he thought of the base in Omega 3. "I recently dismissed the administrator of the base. He wanted to build it and did so. What he failed to do was continue its day to day operations. Rather, he disappeared with no notice." A bit of anger was detected in his voice now as he leaned forward a bit. "I mean, how would you feel if you stopped in to check on things to find only thirty members of a 400 man crew remaining because no one brought food, water or oxygen and those thirty were on death's doorstep themselves?"
He then sat back and took a breath as he collected himself. "Luckily, Freeport 1 had commodities so I loaded up the base, saved the thirty crew members and managed to bring 370 more crew on condition that I stay onboard with them as a show of trust. I did so. Once done, I appointed Billy as administrator." He sighed, "Yes, that was a very bad day."
