the captain seems to sit humbled, he had worked on the dart core shipyard before signing up, and each day, hundreds of ships would pass him, in various states of construction. He remembered back thurther to when he helped construct the shipyard planet back in the Tau-system, before it all went wrong. Yet this thing, could make entire Fleets in moments.
Wel--
he opens his mouth to speak, but he realises words cannot describe this kind of power, even if it was a bluff, it was a damn terrifying one at that.
Just... god.. I..
after a pause, he looks back, with new determination in his eyes.
Look.. I'm not a diplomat, but please. Just.. please don't use this against us, I.. we will do anything, I can't let us die out again, the kind of terror this would instil in us smaller factions.
the captain was at home when it happened, he lived on a small moon next to the planet shipyard in Tau-B2, and a flash of light from his window was all he saw, before looking out at the planet below, as it burned to a crisp, his family gone in an instant, while hundreds of thousands of Hypatien Republic ships rushed to secure the debris of what was once a beautiful planet, even if it housed a shipyard.
Look, just please don't let our people know of this station's existence.. we know what it is like to see thousands of enemy ships outside, and its horrible.
I know it isn't for me to decide, but please only use this against truly evil people, and if you ever need help defending this thing from falling into the wrong hands, the ISC will come in full force, free of charge.
convinced the truth has been told, he prepares to leave, having no more questions to ask.
