While Mel tries to explain to him the topic of brainworms, it is still not clear to him, but he also understands that this is not the right place to talk about it now. Then the other brother arrives, and very soon everything related to the previous topic is long gone in the back of his mind as he tries to focus on what Finn tells them.
The topic of Cape is not a secret among the people who are currently here; probably all of them shipped cargo there. But Vaako always thought about this base as a secret base, where they could store the less lawful shipments, and never thought that these brothers had something far more interesting and also more dangerous in their minds.
“Yes, I’ve heard about this drama on the holonet too. It is something that we have to try to avoid. These technocracy people look like the type who best to avoid if possible.”He agrees with the others that avoiding “The Technocracy” is a good way to avoid future problems.
He listens silently as the two brothers explain both parts of Earthart and how they want to get them there. Vaako sees that it's an opportunity that can bring them a fortune or cause them to suffer a very horrible death. But their business type is already about taking risks to gain money; now all they do is risk a little more than they usually do.
“Training them on our ship is a good idea. We can test them in a relatively safe environment where we can control the outcome. We can go with them on routes where they can be tested, and we can see if they are viable for this kind of work. After all, not everyone can accept to live long times on a ship between the stars, where only a little hull segment is what keeps you away from certain death.”
He talked a lot more than he wanted, but even this was not his full explanation. If they really do this, then later they can talk about it in a more detailed way. For now, he just sits silently, waiting for the others to respond, and in the meantime, he is drinking his sake.
