First Prince Hanse Davion looked up from his never-ending paperwork as Prince's Champion Ardan Sortek walked into his office. "Why the long face, Ardan?"
"Got a message from Vice Admiral Elliot Unger, commander of the Wokha operation. I will just let you read the message and see what you think." Ardan replied as he handed over the message slip and waited while First Prince Hanse Davion read the message.

From: Vice Admiral Elliot Unger, Commander Deployed
Progress proceeding smoothly. Have had contact with representative of special command nearby requesting maintenance on Jumpship fleet. Currently occupied by guard force for next 6 months at least. This was not received well by said representative. Made aware of special unit having special comms and decided to get ahead of any complaints. As the on scene commander, I need my guard force ready at all times and feel that sparing precious yard time limits my ability to respond to a threat to operations here.

"Agreed. Though you know Mitchell might cry some about it." Ardan commented
"Well, he should understand why this has to happen then. I promised him discounted maintenance rates not the ability to bump the line, he just has to wait in line for them." Hanse told Ardan
