It was time to discuss what strategy they were going to take with Arkstone. The Centauri Bliss had returned after placing the two new stations and along the way had picked up two guests. Both the Renas were now sitting at the table, a feat which had required expanding it a bit more as they really were pretty much at capacity.

Dela announced, "As someone who didn't get invited on mini-vacation, I put together this briefing along with Mara. Let me first welcome the Renas. Neither of them have made us any commitments as of yet, but they wanted to see just what we're about."

"Is that smart? Letting them in on a planning meeting when they haven't joined up? Either could sell us out," Kara asked.

"If they're going to stick around, they at least need better names unless we're going with Rena one and two, or evil Rena, good Rena," Jinx said.

"I go by Silver in crime circles and I’m used to answering to it. I'll stick with that for the moment, and she can use Rena," said the Rena from their universe.

"Rena and Silver it is," Dela said. "And if either betrays us we make them regret it. They've both seen what we can do and neither is looking to make any enemies here today. They're just not sure if family is something they're looking for, especially with each other."

Quinn was honestly surprised they had shown up at all. They both had bad personal experiences with him in the past, and seemed reserved in their own ways in the present.

"So let’s gets started with Arkstone. Jinx thinks it is worth making a move and we do want to expand our criminal network. Have they made any overtures to us?" Quinn asked.

"Several of the families have reached out, but largely wanting us as a weapon to use against the others. After us leading to the downfall of one family they're looking for a repeat performance," Dela said.

"We might be willing to get rid of someone’s rival if it were worth it. But I doubt they're looking to crush the opposition just to pledge allegiance to us," Tamara said.

"I'm thinking we may not have to. Do you remember Duchess Alara? We met her briefly, and technically a whole section of space is under her control, but she's never had the resources to go toe to toe with the families," Dela said, and hit a few keys on a tablet that brought up a display. Security recordings.

There were multiples of them. The shots looked to be of an estate, a very nice one. Presumably from Arkstone, but all included something Quinn hadn't expected to see there. Clan ships, parked alongside vessels marked with the symbol of the Imperium.

"Alara has made herself an alliance?" Quinn asked.

"Or she's a prisoner," Jinx said.

"Ever since these ships arrived she's rarely been seen in public and has almost completely suspended her usual calendar. When she is seen, it is often in the presence of this man," Dela said, and brought up new images.
