‘As I said and keep on saying, Ordinate: proving that House Mosinda is connected to the sabotage of the Administratum is a prize large enough to postpone the payday. And for that, I need your help. Let’s just say that the second phase of your plan will cost you nothing… moneywise, at least.’

The Imperial Navy’s sensors picked them up as soon as the Stormskipper translated into realspace, and having checked its credentials, they sent out a five-strong formation as escort. The smallest Navy vessel was a cruiser. The gigantic ships moved in perfect harmony, forming a protective bubble around the aging merchant vessel.

‘That is the best looking bloody escort I will see until the day we all get executed,’ commented Stark to Mercer, ruining the moment a little.

‘At least we’ll die with our pockets full,’ answered Lawin. Nikodemo nodded, even though he was busy communicating with the Navy Astropaths. Surprisingly, all the senior officers on the ships shared a laugh.

After the vox frequencies had been established – the local naval forces implemented new, upgraded security protocols, which was a good sign in Mercer’s book – the commanding officer of the escort group hailed them and transferred them the target coordinates.

Mercer was quite sure that if the Stormskipper did anything suspicious, the escorts would obliterate it without hesitation.

The discipline of the Navy officers was still good, at least: although they were probably eager to know about the state of the Imperium, their relatives and the situation in general, no one asked the Stormskipper about these topics, nor had they requested permission to come aboard.

At full burn and with the interplanetary traffic diverted – Mercer winced upon hearing that – they reached the gravity well of Rengris VII in two days.

The Governor’s palace then hailed them on a direct vox channel, but this time it was not Mercer who would negotiate with them.
