The Catalyst.

[Chenzo-]

The sound deadening properties of the station would have made Harabero's approach a surprise had the on board electronic registry not updated Chenzo to his presence. The station was far from finished, however it was already serving what could be a vital role in Maltese defence.

As Harabero enters what is to be the meeting room, his greeting is accepted with a smile from Chenzo.

Chenzo: "You'll have to forgive me senor, our talk in Ibiza was at the forefront of my priority list until I realised just how close the Corsairs had got. We'd have not spoke at all about any of that if I was aware."

As per usual, he pulls a cigarette out and continues talking

"I'll admit I'm not fond of drastic measures like calling those filthy bounty hunters here, especially for assistance. Alas, we've spoken on the battlefield and if they have your trust, they have mine. We'll keep this meeting as short and sweet as possible. Did a representative of the Core agree to come?"

No sooner had the words left his lips....
