Chapter 1227 1227 Build Back Bigger
?Max started to sort through the applications to stay on the World Ships, and passed Sylvie the task of renovating the Creeping Darkness for occupancy with a new standard of comfort and luxury. She had already started on the changes, but if they were going to make the World Ship into a standard Reaver trade vessel, with an excess of both luxury and military capacity to go with the cargo space, it was going to take a fairly extensive redesign.
That wouldn't be a problem for her, though. The ship was designed to be easily modified for different uses, and the plans for the new interior were available from Felicity, who had already adapted some for her use.
"How long do you need to get the ship ready to start receiving new permanent occupants? Including the transfer of the Alliance troops to their own vessels." Max asked. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
"We can start receiving them tomorrow morning, as long as the Alliance troops get their people on time." She replied.
"That's a good enough timeline. I will stay here with you until there is a crew ready to take over. Perhaps longer, if there is still more fighting to be done in the immediate future. It looks like the situation is mostly under control, but we all know that the best of plans never survive the first engagement with the enemy."
Sylvie computed the accuracy of the statement, then realized that it was a euphemism. It still had an accuracy rate over ninety percent, though.
"If there are no objections, I will remake the rooms in my traditional style, but to the standard set by Felicity." Sylvie suggested.
[And the others?]
[I found a few Independent Commanders that are way down the priority list for a new ship. They were willing to make a deal to work under the Terminus Trading Company, in exchange for a guarantee that they'll get a new Cutter Class or larger cargo vessel this year to return to their trade routes.
Everything is on hold right now anyhow, with the military situation being what it is. Until the production lines shift back to general goods instead of military supplies, there is no need for trade vessels, so they're willing to wait a bit while they sort out a new crew and get settled into a bay aboard Creeping Darkness.] Nico explained.
That made good sense to Max. He could also do them one better. A World Ship was a lot like a Space Station, in that you could have noncombatant family members living there full time. So, if they designated a permanent bay and living area for the independents, they could make the World Ship their permanent home base.
That was a huge improvement for a lot of the small trading companies. When you were all on one ship, anything that happened was a threat to everyone. But when you could leave the children somewhere safe, you could work with a lot less stress.
It would be a change for them, though, being away from family, so it was possible that some of them would prefer just to use the space on the World Ship for storage and a vacation residence. They wouldn't be the first ones with that idea, either. Plenty of Companies would lease space to visitors on their space stations, either for repairs or for rest away from a minimally equipped freighter.
[All Shin, prepare for transfer to Absolution. Your ride will be here within the hour, and then returning as soon as you are loaded.] Max broadcast to the ship, along with the docking bay for their transport.
"I've got three zones near the cargo bay prepared for residency. The new arrivals can start moving in as soon as they arrive, and then I will allow them to spread out once they are assigned crew duties or vessels." Sylvie informed Max.
"Good work. I'll be counting on you."
