<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jae had just dismissed Chems Kitt and Dr. Carter.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>On the table in front of her were
bits and
pieces that had been recovered from the dig site she and her partners
were funding.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She got up to get a cup of tea as a second door
opened
up.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>In walked a Bandi in his
robes and a
Female Orion.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“So Jae, it seems your instinct was right,” the
Orion
said.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“I told you Teshiss, you would not regret this.” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Teshiss turned to the Bandi, “Dogarr, did you
sense anything?”
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“No.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>There
was no
deception in their thoughts.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>They
have
an idea of what they found, but are interested in the money first and
foremost.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Excellent,” Teshiss said, “You are dismissed.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The man bowed, and left the room.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Teshiss sat down looking at the items
on the
table.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“So this is what a
disassembled
Eymorgs energy weapon looks like.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“That’s right.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
have
my people down there now working on accessing computer records. We are
fortunate that we have bribed the right people in the Eymorg government.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>And of course, the Eymorg use a
unique energy
source, one that federation scanners are not tuned too.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Why if we can figure this out, well
there are
lots of opportunities it opens up.” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Teshiss laughed.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I
hope your people are careful, those records are thousands of years old.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Really Teshiss, you question the team I have
assembled?”
Jae said, as she moved closer to Teshiss.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“We have been partners for years, living off the scraps of
others.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>This find is the way into
control in the
Syndicate.”<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Teshiss smiled, grabbing Jae and delivering a
passionate
kiss.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I know my beautiful
partner.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>What of the other
planets in this system.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jae returned the kiss, “Records indicate great,
horrible
wars were fought there.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Once we
get some
money from this load, and we start manufacturing more, we can invest in
zero
gee archeologists.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>After we deal
with
the loose ends.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Of course,” Teshiss said, “Let the boys play
now, we have
other things to attend to.”</p>
