CHAPTER 4

As we entered the docks on Borholm, many many people started looking at me, not too friendly...as we walked out of our ships, the guards wanted to see my ID...and the head of the guards (as my friend told me) was ex-criminal of some foreign faction, there was no place for a bounty hunter there..."He is with me! Back off, Bart!" said my friend. We continued to talk about that piece of ship my friend had found:

"Before we enter the bar, come and see this thing...its breath-taking!"

...we enter the engineering deck of the Borholm Depot...and there it is - this big, pointy hull of what was once a hessian cruiser...

"We contacted the Red Hessians and asked for schematics of their cruiser-class ships...they gave us only a simple plan of their current and only model they have. We were stunned - this part we found didnt look like any of the main parts of a red hessian cruiser! This thing we found was part of some different model of a cruiser! We searched all our records abroad Sirius, for all ship-parts, that may come close to this...we found only one record. It was very old, the ship on it was a Rheinand Military Capital Ship, built more than two hundred years ago, and by what we saw - it didnt match complete with our part we found! Amazing...but we couldnt ask for more information. If the Hessians found out, that we have something, that belongs to them - they would erase every proof that our base here even existed! A old veteran in the bar told us, that maybe this was a part of a Rheinland cruiser of old modification, probably a few of them were ever built. And probably - this one was liberated by hessian pilots from the very docks it was build on, and maybe.....maybe it was reinforced and repaired by outcast engineers. It truely is - UNIQUE!! For a month now, we repaired it and as you see - we are putting the titanium brace on it, that holds the new engines! This ship is ready for someone to buy it and we are only waiting for the client's preferences on the interior and the equipment! For its size and hull strenght - it could easily become a gunboat-class vessel! Or even better...(my friend stopped talking and we both set our eyes on the robot-engineers, who placed the new engines where they were planned to be, the noise there was unbearable.)
