The Acquisition

[OutpostOzymandias]

Pittsburgh, not exactly seen by most as somewhere pleasant.

The planet has a huge industrial background on Boron Fever, habitations, plants and refineries is all that is on the planet. Everything else is sand.

The Ozymandias Orbital came from it's primary mooring in California, a short distance away. The new Liberty Government rules on certain ships had James on edge. His beloved Bustard had been approved a new license but he was still on edge. He'd only ever hired external work forces for moving his base and delivering various goods. This was a meeting he'd been both hoping for and dreading,

Accompanying James outside of the crew piloting the Bustard were his cousin, Paul and his niece, Lola. Neither Paul nor Lola had been involved with any external communications until now. It's only down to desperation that James had reached out to the DSE to begin with.

Extremely self-proud, this was the last final stab before he had to admit total failure.

Upon mooring in orbit, a small shuttle was boarded by the three Preston's as they made their way to the co-ordinates for the meeting. What to expect, they didn't know. Visibility was poor due to the thick industrial smoke only raised tensions further as they blindly allowed the autopilot to whisk them on their way.

Upon landing, James was the first to exit the shuttle and politely approached the man stood before him.

Hello there, I'm James, I'm to meet Mr Rolf with my family and colleagues, could you escort us to the correct place please?

The DSE employee led them up the immaculately kept path and to the front doors of the DSE Headquarters, not a word spoken as the three visitors were in total awe of the wonderous building stood before them. How is it possible to have been kept so clean and tidy with all the smog?

It was no sooner than these thoughts and awe were almost rudely interrupted as the DSE employee's voice announced their arrival.

Ahem, we have the Preston's for you, sir
