"Not my point," Ty said.
"Can we please get back to the job?" Diana asked, clearly bored. "I have begun making the necessary modifications to get the Vespera CHAM ready, but you still need to confer with your girlfriend as to how you two will handle getting a tonne and a half of cargo onto the ship."

"You also have an unfair advantage, mister... lives forever... nailed it," he finished weakly.

"Showmanship!" Ty grinned, waving his hands. "What's the point of being the most notorious pirate in the galaxy if nobody knows your name ro your legacy?"

"Dana, bring up the station the cargo is on," Ty said.
Dana nodded and a moment later a star map of the Quealt system with a cutaway of one of Balgder's numerous natural satellites. The largest of which contained a storehouse that the local sector police used for confiscated goods.
"This is where we'll be hitting. Balgder Confiscated Goods Holding Facility 4. It's the largest of the five and specializes in oversize cargo and pharmaceuticals. Our target being the latter."

"On it," Dana's voice came through the intercom. A moment later, a rendering of her face alongside a floorplan of a Máni hauler.

"This is a traditional Máni hauler," she said. "Doors are marked in green, emergency pods in red."

Ty spun absently in his chair.
"That'd be good and all, but the Máni haulers were never equipped with hyperjump drives. They were built with warp drives. It was supposed to be the next hot thing in faster than light travel. Turns out they rattled up the cargo too much for anything delicate. They are also not nearly as subtle."
He patted the console before him.
"Mánis are tough little bastards and real maneuverable at sub-lightspeeds, but they are not subtle ships."

Ty nodded but shrugged.
"The Vespera is technically CHAM capable, but not enabled. Whith the mods I've done, there's no way we could maintain the power output to reach full speed while under CHAM."

"You would not be the first." Ty said, stepping out of the elevator and heading towards the command deck. Yebbok stepped silently aside into one of the rooms, leaving just Ty and Raven on the deck. Ty dropped into the command chair and tapped a couple buttons on the arm.
"Now then. Let's get down to business," he said as the large holoscreen on the far wall lit up, displaying maps of the system.

Ty laughed loudly as the elevator rose with an electric hum.
"You'd make a hell of a pirate, you know," he said and clapped Raven on the back. "If you're ever looking to switch careers, I'm always looking for fresh talent."

Ty called down the service elevator and chuckled.
"Those are the easiest ones to con," he said. "That's like conning 101. Target the stupid ones."
The gates rattled open and Ty stepped through and held the doors for Yebbok and Raven.
