Gabrielle put out her cigarette and looked at the man that had just entered the room.

" Wise move to evacuate the planet. The Corsairs care little for civilian casualties. We shouldn't either. Tell me...Mr..."

Her eyes lit up ever so slightly as she scanned the man.

" ...Burton, are your people prepared to do what has to be done? I'm putting the lives of my own on the line here. Considering the history the Core and the Zoners share, this is a big step for us. It was not too long ago that I personally delivered a NEMP device to a certain Freeport and detonated it. For which I do apologize, but we had no choice at the time. Sorry about that. "

Despite her words, her face was as cold as the vacuum outside.

" And please, do not forget, my main purpose here is to bring as much destruction and suffering upon the Corsairs. Of course, we will try to limit the damages to the base to a minimum. Freeport 9 is much more useful to us intact and under Zoner administration. Business is business, after all."
