Rumblelow
flew his Talon frigate escorted by his personal guards towards a
large Vega facility. The ship bay opened and revealed a massive bulky
ship that was under construction. He looked at the workers welding
parts together and found a spot to land his ship.
“Vice
President, everything is on schedule.” a commander overseeing the
construction walked towards Rumblelow as he walked out his ship.
“Excellent
commander! That ship is massive!” Rumblelow clapped in
satisfaction.
“You
are looking at five times the size of a Fury battleship...except it's
not a battleship is it sir?” the commander asked.
“A
whole new class.” Rumblelow tilted his head up to see the sheer
scale of the ship.
“What
is it?” the commander asked.
“That's
above your pay. Just get it finished early. The President would want
it early for testing.” Rumblelow waved him off.
“Understood
sir.” the commander saluted and walked off.
Rumblelow
walked down a hallway
and scanned his eyes on a retinal scanner at the end of the hall. The
door hissed open and he entered into the darkness. The door closed
shut and a hologram projected a figure seating on the chair with the
back to Rumblelow.
“Vice
President Betram Rumblelow” the figure greeted.
“Mr.
President.” Rumblelow bowed.
“I
assume everything is in order?” the figure spoke.
“Yes,
Project Ragnarok is a few more weeks from completion. If not, even a
bit early sir.” Rumblelow reported his findings.
“Very
well. Soon we will have the weapon to crush all those who oppose us.
No more freeloaders, rebels, pirates, and thieves.” the figure
chuckled with delight.
“Yes
Mr. President. We will regain control of this galaxy and bring
profits back to the corporation.” Rumblelow nodded in agreement.
“That
too, but we will finish what we started on Polaki.” the figure
replied.
“Polaki...that
name...it's been so long since I heard that.” Rumblelow eyes
widened.
“Yes,
it has my friend. Yes it has. Now go to the archives and pull up
everything we learnt of Polaki.” the figure gave the orders and the
hologram transmission ended.
Rumblelow
exited the room and walked towards the hangar. He had heard the
stories of Polaki, but had never actually been there. Rumour has it
that the planet contained secrets to sustaining life, but the
research was stopped and the corporation never proceed to further
explore the idea.
“Ship's
all prepped and ready.” an officer reported as Rumblelow entered
the cockpit.
“We
head to HQ now.” Rumblelow told the officer and his personal guards
in orbit.
