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.
