DocSlime Vessels appear in the system and head for the ruins of the planet. It can be seen on: Corporation Avenir.

"Leader?"
"Report."
"We have detected a large cargo container in orbit. Contains unclear weaponry."
"Any labelings?"
"Some very odd writing, worse than ours."
"Alright. We still need either a spaceship or anything that could plant a beacon so we can retrieve it if it falls on the planet."
"Indeed. I propose attaching a beacon to a small, person-sized seeking sticky rocket."
"Could work, we will discuss later."
Some time later, a rocket with three thrusters, one forwards and two backwards, sticks to the container with its front and pulls it down to the planet. The container safely lands in Construct after 2 hours, where its contents are successfully installed on the new city.

-Hello offworldiens! Or should I say rest of offworld?
-No no sir, it's good like that.
-Very well, following the momentary destruction of your planet, we came here to help you and for business, we propose to renovate this waste to make it become as it was before, see better. If you agree, we will give you $ 10,000,000 in financial assistance for something you do not care about right now! So, what do you think?

Gladiaxa An Assault-Class Beacon, still nearby as to report on an incident involving Fortress Alpha, hails one of your ships.

DocSlime Ships land on the planet with men coming out by the hundreds. They lend a lot of boxes and start assembling the first construction machines.

DocSlime From day to day, a huge 1km high glass tower was built in the former ruin field. A huge sign on the tower says:
Future Corporation.

As the days went by, the fact that the planet was being pulled out of orbit by some mysterious force (which has somehow gone unnoticed by all the factions except the DC) became more and more evident, as the planet has now left the visual range of its sun, plummeting into an eternal night... if it wasn't for Offworld's uncanny artificial day/night cycle ((which I swear I read about somewhere...)) masking this fact, the remaining Offworld citizens would be a lot more worried.

Future Corp, however, does notice this trend eventually. Advanced cartography systems and course-planning algorithms suggest that the planet is headed towards a certain area, which happens to coincide with the trajectory of a mobile DC installation.

Gladiaxa

RandomCommander But what does that mean boss?
It means that a big tractor beam is bringing us close to the collective.
I drove the offworld government?
Yes, and quickly, the new offworld project should not be upset.
I have warned of this threat DocSlime

Gladiaxa

RandomCommander Do not worry guys, you have to do to professionals.

All the ships started extracting, as they requested, the larger ships in orbit prepared their modified FTL drives and warped off in an hour as a large group, and the cargo ship took 20 minutes to charge and warp after it pulled into orbit after recollecting all the units and dropships

The Squad gathers the materials and begins to head toward the Construct where the ship resides, when suddenly a huge explosion takes place above the skies of the planet. ROLD, after a few quick calculations, suddenly notices another thing.

"The Collective! There's a beacon up there, possibly looking for us, possibly here for another reason. The ship is no longer mandatory, just its communications system. I can take the reigns from he--"

"Don't bother, Zero-Quad has found us already."

"What do--?"

The three Assault-Class androids suddenly get enveloped by a Rift-portal and involuntarily get beamed upward. Why upward is a mystery even to the androids.

RandomCommander
Since the Offworld is in Construct, its day/night cycle is right over Offworld, and nobody notices anything as astronomy is the last worry of a dying bunch of nerds on a self-flying planet with no control over it.
Bishop dissapointedly looks up in the sky. The Bowman is conveniently resurrected, and shoots a volley in the general direction of the ship. All shots fly right past the beacon, almost grazing it. It's incredibly interesting how a prototype could launch magnetic sticks into space from a planet's surface. Bishop is sad and proceeds back to Loki, bringing him the tiny bit of copper. Bishop then proceeds to ask Bowman on how he perfectly calculated the distance and location of the Beacon. It seems that the very module responsible for calculation was recently overridden by Fractality, so Bowman acts like a drunken robot on partial narcosis and is unable to answer. Bishop gets the coordinates he calculated before and loads them in Loki's ship, which by the time is already cleaned of unimaginable amounts of handheld laser flak cannons.
Loki's ship arrives near the Beacon. It hails.
Transmission start
"Greetings, my friends. It seems to me that you have-"
Someone loudly coughs in the background. Loki pretends to ignore it.
"-that you have-"
The same voice coughs again.
"-THAT YOU HA-"
The person coughs even louder.
"Okay now, this is getting stupid. Who is coughing in my ship?"
Loki hears no response.
"As I was trying to say, you have...
you have...
-ah, right. Taken the androids that have visited me and promised to bring copp-"
Loki is hit in the head by a large chunk of refined copper that fell out of the roof. He takes his bow and unloads a volley, which causes the ship to decompress rapidly. The train-headed friend of Loki enters some code in some console in the background, which immediately seals the hole with disgusting organic matter. The train-head brings a non-transparent vent cover and locks this organic behind. Whoever was coughing and dropping copper should surely be somewhere in outer space. However, scans indicate that there is nobody outside of the ship.
"Well, it seems that my copper is here, but not nearly in as large amounts as I asked for. I suppose I'm in no position to argue. However, I will stay in my right and demand half a kilogram copper of any refinery level."
Transmission end
Loki's ship has no weapons whatsoever.

Gladiaxa ((Slightly misinterpreted, by "coincide" I mean it just happens to be the same destination as the starbase is heading to. They will not crash. Sorry for the confusion.))

The Beacon is acting erratically, weapons are charging, then deactivating, then charging again, shields are fluctuating between half- and full-charge, but still keep online nonetheless... it cannot seem to decide if it is under threat or not. Eventually it hails Loki's ship.

/Transmission Start/

# Your request is being processed...

"We understand your frustration with the failure of these designated androids to fulfill your request in a timely manner, unfortunately they have been reassigned to a higher priority task by the Dimensional Collective. A microfreighter is arriving soon to supply you with the needed amount of copper. We are sorry for this inconvenience."

Alert_Level = 4
Alert_Level.Reasoning = "Where the metaphorical hell did that hardlight-based arrow come from!?"

/Transmission End/

The Beacon seemed to settle on leaving its shields and weapons fully charged and ready to fire. There are no target locks on Loki's ship, heck, the Beacon doesn't seem to be tracking any target whatsoever. It is running scans on the planet's surface instead.

RandomCommander (The "arrow" can be any stick-shaped object with magnetic abilities. Offworld hardlight is incredibly deadly, but decays insanely fast when moving away from its projector, so normally it is effective at ranges up to 20 meters.)
"Oh wow, didn't expect for them to actually send copper."
The train-head scratches his trainhead.
"Y'know, it would be great if we made a new thin ceiling out of the copper. This one won't be repaired easily."
"No, no. There's too little copper for that. We will patch up this hole and cover the ceiling with sheets of copper and make some beautiful inscriptions on the sheets."
"Fine then."
Transmission start
"Oh, I cannot express my gratitude. Your response is most quick and accurate, far better than any of the stores around here I've visited. Nothing but barbaric pirates. In case you are curious, I'm afraid I have too little knowledge of them and no proof of it. Thank you for providing me this valuable asset."
Transmission end
The ship releases a small decorated container, about the size of a pet carrier. It would only cause severe harm if a miniature nuke was put into it, but taking into account Loki's horrible relations with them, it is unlikely for the container to have a threat inside. Also, who puts bombs in white plastic containers with all seams coated in excessive gold decorations to the point you can barely make out the shape of the container itself? The value of all these golden patterns is obviously far greater than the copper that was provided, and then there's the inside...
