Tactics of Conquest (Stellar Conquest)
“Absen had to put up with the excitement. All of Afrana’s media trumpeted the arrival, as well as the coming refits of Flensburg and the other warships in the system. Desolator had given assurances he could handle becoming a mobile shipyard for a time, upgrading defenses.
Shuttles stacked up nearby, queuing to dock with the dreadnought and disgorge personnel and supplies. The partial crew soon swelled with those reporting in, as well as visitors. Absen had to give orders to make sure no one stow...ed away, especially Marines. In fact, he turned over the task of keeping track of all visitors to Bull ben Tauros, who in turn enlisted Michelle. Absen ordered that the AI be given access to most of the internal sensors.
Some didn’t want to be left behind. Some were just stupid, and some snooped a bit too much and were politely sent packing. Most of those were probably corporate spies, looking for new technology to commercialize, but none were allowed to access anything vital.
Absen spent most of the first two days receiving delegations of dignitaries congratulating him on the new ship – boat, he reminded himself – touring the refitted technology, and generally making nuisances of themselves.MoreLess
