• Captain, thank you for coming by at such short notice.

Well, when my Chief Science Officer says he has something urgent to show me, I drop everything.

• Thank you Captain. Your appreciation for all the work that is done here in the Research Center has always given my team great motivation to continue improving our technologies. Many crew members have warned me that you don't like surprises, but I think I know you well enough to know when to risk surprising you.

Well, you've certainly gotten my attention Officer Brady, and you also know me well enough to know that I have a short fuse for patience.

• Right you are Captain, walk with me over to this window...

!!!What's a Promethean Corvette doing on our Base, Officer?!!! Why wasn't I informed that we were being visited by the K'aaght?!!!

• Calm down Captain! There are no K'aaght here, and that's not a ship, that's a hologram.

A hologram?

• Yes Captain, a hologram based on the blueprints for a Corvette Petunia that I purchased on the galactic black market.

Galactic black market?!

• I know Captain, this is all a mystery to you, but the good news is that we can now build this.

I'm confused Officer, how did you pay for this?

• Cryptocurrencies, of course. Blockchain technology is what's running the entire galactic web ever since we left Earth. It was only a matter of time before a galactic market would appear.

That makes sense Officer, but I don't trust the K'aaght.

• Neither do I Captain, and that's why I've been running a diagnostic scan on the blueprints all day and it's flawless. No viruses, no backdoors, no defects, no traps... it's flawless Captain. And I would not risk the lives of our Cadets.

Of course Officer, and I trust your judgement. So you're telling we can already build this ship?

• That's right Captain, she's ready to go.

Let's get our little hero into the picture... Computer, current location of Cadet 1st Class Maxwell?

In flight on Mission to Alpha Planet P-ZVSN0EA93S0

Computer, open a channel to the Cadet's cockpit.

Channel ready

Cadet Maxwell, Captain Curione here.

Captain, good to hear from you! On my way to our mystery planet to collect some goods for the colony. How can I help you!

As soon as you get back from your Mission, choose your best squad member to take your place, and report immediately to the Research Center. We need you back in the flight simulator.

Captain, we have a new bird to fly???!!!

That's right my young Cadet, and I need you to score well on the tests.

Without a doubt Captain! I assure you I won't let you down! Can I get a hint as to what kind of ship we're testing?

A Corvette Petunia.

A K'aaght ship! Wow! Those Prometheans know how to make a good warbird! Can we trust them Captain?!

Don't worry Cadet, you have my word that you're in good hands. You also have Officer Brady's word, and he will update you on every detail when you arrive.

Okay Captain. Cadet out!

• Well Captain, do we have your authorization to begin building?

Of course Officer, run one last test and send the blueprints to the Shipyard. Good work Officer!

• Thank you Captain! Always a pleasure advancing the colony!
