***On the board of the OPCC, almost three months in the project***


Sarah Ward was onboard. She was doing the final relays of intelligence data towards Mactan Base, using the same principle, only way more advanced than the one in the Project Quick Silver.

All of the sudden, on the main screen, Commander Aethulu appears.

This is Executive Commander of the Hellfire Legion. I wish to speak with Frost.

Hello sir, I am Sarah Ward. Frost is not here sir. Want me to relay a message to him?

NO, I SAID I WANT TO TALK TO HIM. As in, in person. Get him to a communicator, because I want to have a few words with the man.

Yes sir.

After a few minutes, Ward managed to get a stable connection via the OPCC between Aethulu and Frost.

Frost! Have read your reports. What do you mean, the OPCC is overwhelmed? With data or what?

Yes, sir. Frost said. As Mrs. Ward can explain, the amount of data is too great. We're falling behind schedule, and soon the volumes of transmissions will overwhelm our current capabilities. We request another OPCC ship, and another 2 Gunboat-class escort ships.

Ward? You're the expert on communications here. Is that true?

Yes sir... I'd suggest to bring a Battleship-class vessel here to act as OPCC.

All our forces and capital ships included are tied down.

We can use the Ven'Gyr... the one I've built for the Legion.

That's the OPCC we use in our raids in California. Sorry can't be done. The other capital ships are assigned to defend Vespucci. Propose something else.

Actually, I do have a backup plan... Frost said.

I'm listening...

Here's the account number and password of a Liberty Bank deposit. It contains 2 billion credits. Use that to build a new Spyglass... we really need a new OPCC as soon as possible.

Frost, you never cease to amaze me. Alright, it'll be ready within a week. I will give you the bone of another Spyglass we were building, but ran out of funds. That's how you'll get yourself a new OPCC. Farewell. And keep in touch. Aethulu out.

Roger that sir. Frost out.

Hmm. I'll have a new Battleship, which will be MINE after this mission. I'll christen it...
