Ilmus smiled and moved around the ship, enjoying her tour, but more so her stories. She really loved the ship and cared for it. He couldn't blame her though. Warriors were always attached to the weapon or ship of their craft.

"I think we'll be taking a medium transport. It is being loaded up with large amounts of equipment for the resistance. They have been really getting outgunned as of late and need the gear." He smiled and paused at the edge of the ramp.

"I hope you don't mind leaving your ship here. If you do, I think it would be already for you to take it with. You have yourself a good night beautiful." The Colonel gave Lexx a wink and a grin before walking off the edge of the hatch.

Cierra liked what she saw.

"I'm very pleased Rob, now if you could show me a good place our new ship could be stored and..."

Cierra smiled.

"...I'd really like to see what secret areas are around the facility. Maybe even a demonstration of the security measures here."

Cierra knew that Rob knew exactly what she meant and she could tell by the smile he had on his face that they were going to see exactly what they had wanted.

Kyra tugged on Cierra's arm as she noticed something in the corner among some junk parts.

"What is that??!!!"

Kyra ran over the the pile of parts and Jay did his best to keep up with her. She tossed some sheets of scrap and found and old Jedi Interceptor. It appeared to have had some purple paint added to it and the ship was in bad shape.

"I love it! It needs to be black though!!!"

Cierra interrupted Kyra's excitement.

"Kyra, we haven't even paid for this facility yet. Besides, Rob may want to keep that."

Cierra looked to Rob who was smiling towards Kyra.

"You've given her enough today Rob. If you want to part with it, we'll agree on a fair price. Besides, it would fit very well into the freighter with plenty of room to spare... and it would keep her busy."

Lexx watched Stevenson leave the ship.

"Hey!"

Lexx smirked at Stevenson.

"I don't say this to just everyone... it was nice meeting you today. That's as nice as I get so good night Colonel."

Lexx continued to smirk in Stevenson's direction and closed the hatch. She was convinced this mission would be a success and that Stevenson was the best choice to work with her.

Rob laughed at Kyra as she found the old Eta-2 light Interceptor.

"Saw that did she?" He turned to Cierra and smile, waving his hand. "Take it. We have no use for it. It's been since I bought the place. Apparently it was uncovered when this facility last expended. It was under ground for many years until now. If you want it refit, I'm sure we could work out a decent price."

He winked and smiled at Cierra before looking back at Kyra's excitement. Rob motioned towards some of the person and they went to fetch a large droid. This loader droid, much like the one at the underground Belgaroth facility slowly advanced from one of the corners and moved towards the interceptor to lift it from the junk pile.

When Rob turned towards Cierra again, there was a pair of combat droids standing behind her. They was quietly approached from a built in rack along the side wall. From that Rack three more droids moved out and unfolded before standing and moving towards them quickly.

"Perhaps these could show you around more." Rob joked and wondered if Cierra had noticed them sneaking up on her.

Ilmus laughed gently and smiled as he spun back towards Lexx. "It was a pleasure meeting you as well. I'll see you in the morning. Sleep well."

With a smile he heard the hatch close while walking away and thinking about the woman he had met less than an hour before.

Cierra turned around and saw the droids.

"Excellent! Very impressice droids. I would hope the entire facility is ran by automation?"

Cierra was looking around as Rob spoke. Kyra returned to her side to also listen and follow them on the tour.

"Rob, can you show me the offices? Also, can you show me if you have any secret offices as well?"

Cierra again smiled about the questions. Rob seemed to know she was excited about the facility.

"I'd also like to know what price you would like for this facility."

Rob smiled and watched Cierra. "The facility is somewhat automated, but we're trying to increase that. Or were, now that you are purchasing it." He laughed and have her a wink.

"There is really only on secret here, since the facility had only been in Stellar Enterprises hands for a month. Please come." With a motion he led her towards through the wide open and rather loud factory floor.

They moved towards the center of the facility and then Rob took a sharp left close to the middle. They both continued on towards the far wall. As they walked, Rob explained the whole place in more detail and told her about how they did all the stamping and assembly in this one facility instead of hiring other business to stamp the metals for them. Also most of the electronics were manufactured in the nearby city so it was cheap to get share parts and orders shipped quickly.

Soon they stood in front of the office section of the factory with doors lines up and down the wall, but the center office was for the manager only. Rob opened the large door and stepped inside. There was a small eating area, a sitting area, a door that lead to a conference room, as well as, an office space of course with a desk and couch for some relaxation. Rob reached over to a pad beside the door and press a button. Instantly the windows along the wall turned to frost and prevented people from looking inside.

With a smile, he moved towards the office and a small wall unit. Rob placed his thumb against the side of the unit and after a few second the whole thing slid to the left, revealing a turbolift.

Cierra looked around at every detail of the building. For the most part, the facility was self sufficient. As for the automation, the transfer over to be at 100% automation would continue. Cierra would perhaps ask Rob for assistance on it.

Cierra followed Rob through the office section and into the main office. She then watched Rob activate the turbolift and a big smile came over Cierra's face.

"If that leads to where I think it does, then I get this office!"

Rob laughed as Cierra and Kyra entered the turbolift. Jay remained in the office to wait until they return.

"Lets see the rest Rob."

Rob laughed and smiled as he got into the lift. "The turbolift and the wall unit all work off a finger vein scanner. It is set for my thumb, but we can set it for any of your fingers later."

With a smile still on his face, Rob keyed the lift and felt it quickly drop down before coming to a rest. "This is really an escape way, but it leads to the basement of the facility. It stretches a little away from the building so that if anything happens above, this place would still stand. Oh and its big enough for a ship."

Rob said the last part with a wink as he flicked up the lights.

Cierra stepped forward as the lights came on. She came to a stop and crossed her arms. Before her was a vast open space. Enough space to design an entire undergroound base of operations.

"This is it, home. Rob... we'll take it."

Cierra turned back to Rob.

"I'd like to contact some people to begin heading here now. If you would be so kind as to turn over the security and access systems over to me, I would very much appreciate it. Kyra can program the systems to recognize our personel and she will remain behind to oversee the development of the facility. I'd also like to speak to you about utilizing SE to help in the conversion of this facility to meet our needs."

Cierra walked back over to Rob.

"I'm sure we can discuss that on the way back to Belgaroth. I'll be remaining there until the ship is complete, with your permisssion of course."

With that said, Cierra, Rob, and Kyra returned to the main office. Jay was eagerly awaiting Kyra's return.

"Kyra, you know what to do. Bring the necessary personel here. You are in charge until I return."

Cierra then put her arm under Rob's.

"Shall we head back?"
