Birthright: Battle For The Confederation- Pursuit - Plot & Excerpts
The First Officer, Lirik Daemon, ended up right next to her. She had been ordered to call up on the main viewer a schematic of the cargo pod rings and was watching as the pirates sorted through the database, trying to decide which ones to take. Daemon was watching with intense interest as the pirates highlighted pods to remove. From what Halley could see, there wasn’t much rhyme or reason to what they were taking. "They're not touching some of the real obvious pods," she whispered to the First Officer, "even though there are some pretty valuable goods in some of them." Like Web, she had debated breaking cover, but also like Web she'd elected not to unless lives were about to be lost. She hated to be so cold in deciding that this piracy was not her problem, but there were greater issues at stake and she needed to get to Callidor more than this shipping line needed to protect a few insured cargo pods. Nothing said she couldn't prod the FO along, though, and hope she did something to help. She looked back at Halley nervously. "So?" she replied. "As long as they leave, that's all I care." That wasn't the response she was expecting. "But why would they take the pod filled with farming equipment for an agri-moon," she continued, "and leave behind advanced fabrication equipment bound for Callidor?" Daemon snapped her head to look at Halley and whispered quietly but harshly, spit bubbling up on her lips. "What do we care? As long as they take it and go I don't much care. Just leave them be so we can get this over with!" "You," a pirate commanded, pointing at First Officer Daemon. "Come over here. You need to switch off the external security feeds and the computer inventory. No need to have you figuring out what we're taking too quickly." Daemon shuffled over compliantly and sat down at a console, then slowly and nervously started pecking at the controls as commanded.
