==Chapter 63 - What Could Go Wrong==

22 November 3041
New Avalon (Federated Commonwealth, FedSuns Capital World)

"Quintus, 1,656 personnel that you have "recruited" for your pet treasure hunters is not a trivial amount. Neither is power playing members of the AFFC to form a command circuit to deliver those people." First Prince Hanse Davion said
"Hanse, every single day, just over 24,000 people retire, or their enlistment ends in the Federated Suns portion. When you at it compared to that number, it is a trivial number. I just had them skim the cream of the crop in their efforts, and yes, I did make travel arrangements for those here on New Avalon, the expedite fess' are actually being paid by myself. And before you bring it up, I did help make everyone's retirement paperwork and end of enlistment make it thru the system in record time." Quintus Allard replied
"I did not know about you greasing the tracks on any paperwork. I guess I can be thankful you have not given them a Battalion of Battlemechs and all the other equipment they might need." First Prince Hanse Davion said
"Whoops, well now you know. Your just grumbling like a bear with a thorn in its paw because I get to have some fun while you try to meld half the Inner Sphere into a single nation for Victor to inherit someday. Hopefully, my project will pay dividends before yours does so I can listen to you moan and groan longer." Quintus Allard replied with a smile.
"Maybe. I hope the boy can handle the task; it is going to be quite a full-time job. We seem to hit some snag or resistance at every turn in the road." First Prince Hanse Davion said.
"Victor will be up to the task at hand. He comes from good stock, on both sides." Quintus Allard replied
"Well, anyway, I have to get back to work. Let's not get too carried away by your project, okay? I have enough ruffled feathers to smooth out." First Prince Hanse Davion said as he turned to head back to his own office.

Inner End (Federated Commonwealth)

Sergeant Major Chester Pullman had the HPG message in hand from Leftenant Colonel Mitchell, even if the name said Sarah Campbell. He saw that it was sent from Valasha, which he thought had been put on hold. He read the message again to decipher what it meant.

To: Chester Pullman
From: Sarah Campbell
Need larger ready to sail asap. Will transfer aboard on arrival. Higher wants six swords and four kittens aboard the old nest, not the new nest, on arrival ready to go. Also wants Alpha to be ready same time. Immediate departure on arrival. Liaison wants you to contact old job and ask if special request gear has arrived. If so, also needs to be ready for immediate departure. Do not reply.

The first part was easy, they want the Star Lord Jumpship ready, which it was, fully charged, if still in not the best shape internally. The six swords and four kittens had him stumped for over an hour until it clicked, sword equals Rapier and Kittens meant Hellcat. The Alpha part was also a no brainer. Agent Hammel wanted me to contact MIIO and ask for her special equipment, no clue what that meant, but he at least had a contact with MIIO he could call.
