"Captain Skullface" Sat cross-legged in his chair, and gave a deceptively non-robotic sounding chuckle [color=9e0039]"Cooperate or be Punished, who do they think they are?"[/color] he said before staring around the room to get a good look at all of the other fools who decided to whore themselves out to the Alliance, wondering what shitty reason they had for being here. Meanwhile he was having a conversation with a Shipmate with his Cyberwear, he had multiple layers of quantum cryptography but figured that the Alliance had some way of evesdropping.

[color=f6989d]"Our Part in this operation is complete, looks like they are letting us Go, How are things on your end?"[/color]

[color=9e0039]"I was half expecting them to back out on us, Now, one more job and we get what we came for, Apparently some slavers are pestering a colony or something and we have to protect it."[/color]

[color=f6989d]"Huh, two for the price of one, We get our people back AND get to fuck with the cartels, finally things looking in our favor."[/color]

[color=9e0039]"This doesnt add up, Why would the alliance hire Scum like us? something about this mission they arent telling us."[/color]

[color=f6989d]"Always is hun, Now I should Get going before the Alliance changes its mind on letting us go."[/color]
