“Fifteen million? Sold,” Brekkan hastily screamed into his communicator, “deliver it to my station.”
“It’s full up,” the communicator barked back.
“What? What! No it isn’t,” he said quickly, scrolling through a hologram. He growled lowly under his breath, “give me ten seconds.”
‘The Black Guardian… no… The Willing Whelp… maybe… Hand of Titan Six… no, definitely no… Ah… yes, Matitatgzer. Matatitzger? Idk, whatever.‘
“Willhiam, sell Mitatizreg to the closest bidder,” he said into his communicator, putting his client on hold.
“Captain says they got a million on hand,” Willhiam replied back.
“Give them a loan for a million. Give them… 20 years to pay it back. That should be enough.”
“Got it sold, and it’s…” the communicator went silent for a second or two, “gone.”
“Perfect,” Brekkan grinned, returning to his previous call, “I expect it to be at my station within the hour. Don’t scratch the paint.”
A beautiful ship. The Matit, whatever, looked like it was retrieved from an ocean planet. The paint was nearly corroded off, it has some kind of green mold or algae growing on the top and the name of the freighter was faded and missing letters.
The Matit, is a Gremlin Class Freighter. It is approximately 200 years behind most modern day freighters and it still uses a Thermal-Nuclear Reactor wherein most of the others run off of Cold Fusion or Matter Fusion. It is 50 years behind it’s brother, the Goblin Class Freighter which has a Cold Fusion Reactor and 150 years behind it’s sister, the Queen Class Freighter which has a Matter Fusion Reactor.
The previous crew seemed to have taken good care of the freighter, but no one truly knows what happened to them. Brekkan swears that they just quit his service and left. Crews for hire question how and why they just happened to disappear. One last mission to the Oracle Galaxy and then the freighter is recovered. A supposed ghost ship, drifting in the asteroid belt of Ora Two, for ten years.
Those are of course just ghost stories and the Matit has been claimed by a new Captain. First things first, this new beauty needs a new name. Then, hopefully the new Captain has a crew if not he has twenty-four hours to man the freighter before it gets impounded by the DFC or the Division of Freighters Committee.
