┝┅┅┅{INCOMING TRANSMISSION}┅┅┅┥

┝┅{Location: Rhodes, Sparta

Of course he kept me waiting. Now more details start to link. No wonder that the Liberty military managed to get so close to their home system. I bet Insurgency captains were still on their way to their vessels while the libertonians were assembled in battle formation at a stone's throw. Alas, I had my cigars with me so I won't complain that much. After three cigars there he was with a new, shiny uniform and a lot of hair spray. Matteo couldn't resist: "Perez, looks like you're prepared for your funeral" . As for the impression, we prefer skill over looks.

Finally, formation was complete, Omicron Gamma's jumphole coords were locked. Another corsair that goes by the callsign "Tortillero" entered formation. We were finally moving, but not at full speed since the Torment being in such a bad shape was very vulnerable to the asteroid fields that cover the whole of Omega-41, and a catastrophic decompression wouldn't serve any interest. Maybe Perez's interest, if he intends to try something folish, be sure his demise will be worse than a flight through space without an escape pod. After all, he has no choice but to comply, so I doubt he didn't took some safety precautions. That shiny uniform inspires honor, so I'm certain he won't just accept his fate if anything goes south.

An eternity and three ice ages later, we were in Sparta. I told Perez to add a new star to that uniform of his, as he was one of the few outsiders allowed in, especially in a vessel as big as his. After exiting Gredos Cloud the Torment was finally able to engage full engine power, and soon enough Rhodes was in sight. Perez was impressed by the size and capabilities of the shipyard, saying they have something similar, but well "hidden". Well, if something has to be hidden in order to remain whole, its defence is pathetic.

After the initial impression of Rhodes tempered down, Perez was able to notice the Parabellum in the drydock. An exterior scan confirmed that the engines are similar to what the Torment has, so his chief engineer will work with familiar technology. Also, Perez mentioned his engineering team was "excited about what they can do". Certainly they're not excited about helping the Corsairs, so that makes me think the task is doable and they have chances of survival. This is why they're excited. I proceeded to dock and await for Perez and his team on board Rhodes so we could head to the R&D wing where the Corsair engineering team was waiting.

On their way Matteo patted Perez on the shoulder: "So, you have crossed the point of no return. How excited are you about this?". At this point, with Perez inside a Corsair instalation and his life being in the hands of his engineering team, the sheep's folly is complete.
