Once the words left Harabero's mouth, Halpert was already looking around the doorway that lead out to the construction platform. With none in sight, as this room was simply designed only for observation, Halpert settles down to answer the Maltese's question.
"Hmm... what do I have? I have the ship... suppose I could give it a test run in a system? See how she performs and give you the data for free? I got a chunk of change on my back pocket, so I don't mind doing that. It's what I normally do anyways."
Halpert opens the door that leads out to the foyer, only to duck out and see if there's any obvious way down to the platform. He then remembers he knows nothing about the layout of this place, despite the time he's spent on Malta. He steps back in, leaving the door open.
