Blast it, I thought it would take you longer to make it back to the lab. But then I suppose the Celeste could never outrun the great Commander.

Well, while you were sitting pretty in your shiny station, I met up with my crew. We were already on our way to the lab when you sent that transmission and I thought…

Well, the Commander hardly needs yet another advantage in this galaxy. State of the art station, advanced AI and cutting edge ships – what more could you want?

That hardly matters. The blueprints are mine now, but if you really want a copy, then I’m sure we can come to some sort of monetary arrangement…

I’m sorry about this, Commander. For what it’s worth, this wasn’t my idea–

Hush, Martinez! Let’s hear what they have to say.

Commander, I have had a chance to inspect the Alliance Starbase blueprints. The investment for the base is steep – we will need to work with our alliance in order to build it.

But once it is built, we will be able to mine and harness the power of the plasma storms to increase our own power and that of our alliance.

I expect this technology to spread rapidly – we will not be the only ones building and operating this base. We will no doubt have to defend ourselves from hostile alliances.

I told you, someone who went to the bother of rescuing a shipful of strangers wouldn’t keep something like this for themselves.

Right you are, number one. I jumped the gun on this one. I’m sorry, Commander. Things have been… tough lately. The payment for our last delivery barely covered our transport costs.

I guess I thought the only way to guarantee our access to the technology was to take it from you.

And your attempt to sell it back to us?

Well, uh… That was just good business! No hard feelings, right, Commander?

No hard feelings as long as you agree not to monetize this technology. Share it with others, as we have done with you.

We scrape a living in this galaxy, but with this technology we wouldn’t just survive. We would thrive. The Captain’s actions, however stupid, were just an attempt to provide for her people.

We will not entertain negotiations with you. Transfer the technology or we will have to take it by force.

You would do well to listen to your number one more often, Captain. However, the fact remains that you were unwilling to share this technology with us. Why should we share it with you?

Phase

I told you, Martinez. The only way we make sure that we get this tech is to take it. The Commander here might have saved us earlier, but they’re shrewd.

It’s bad business to share something this valuable. Isn’t that right, Commander?

It is not a matter of business or value, Captain, but of principle.

More damn money that we don’t have! Is there something else you need, Commander? Do you want to finish us off while you’re at it?

The results of your… My apologies, Commander. There must have been some mistake. The Captain has already collected the blueprints.

She said that you were indisposed, and that she was to keep them safe in your stead. Is that not correct?

No. Indeed it is not. It appears that the Captain wants this technology for herself. Tell us exactly what it is you gave to her, and when she left.

She left not too long ago with the blueprints for an Alliance Starbase which can mine, process and store plasma from the storms.
