[p]— Good afternoon, Arthur! Tell us about your project. Am I correct in understanding that you are building something at the main stations where your offices are located?[/p][p]— Hello, Max. Our mercenaries use the latest weapons and ships. And this creates a problem: the modules and weapons developed after the invasion began were often not standardized for common purposes, which is why we needed huge spaces for storage. The best and richest of our mercenaries have already complained, resentful that they literally lack the storage offered by our own organization. Due to the recent improvements in the Frontier, the number of refugees has decreased, and the station administrations have allowed us to purchase some now unused space near the docks for our storage. Thus, it can be assumed that very soon some of the mercenaries will be able to expand the size of their available storage.[/p][p]— How many mercenaries have reached the limit of available storage?[/p][p]— I can’t give exact numbers, but at least several thousand people.[/p][p]— Thank you for the information! Now, allow me to ask a few more questions. They may be very important to my audience.[/p][p]— Go ahead, we still have half an hour to talk.[/p][p]— I recently heard that the Enclave has reappeared in the Frontier. How would you comment on this rumor?[/p][p]— Officially, I can say that I have no confirmation of this information at the moment, but my mercenaries have reported several unidentified ships near Artuga. I would advise caution when traveling there and to bring the best security and mercenaries. [/p][p]— What do you think the pirates’ goals might be in the Frontier?[/p][p]— To seize small territories. Although corporations and our mercenaries have driven them out of most systems, many pirate stations and transit points still remain. Recently, they became quite vicious, and even if they know that an entire squadron could blow them to smithereens, their thirst for profit has not disappeared.[/p][p]— I have some news: some pilots who bought the Apeiron have created a club called Explorers of the Limitless, where they fight each other to death, but using only ramming. The Federation security service has even put out a warrant for them. My question is: do UMC mercenaries participate in this?[/p][p]— I can’t speak for everyone, but I can only assume that there are more than a few among us who are willing to take part in this kind of thing.[/p][p]— And one last question. The “Glass squadron”. What can you tell us about it and your plans to acquire more of these ships for mercenaries?[/p][p]— How did you find out about it? Well, one of my people must have let it slip. But overall, there’s nothing much to hide here. “Crystal”, “Ice”, or, as you called it, “Glass squadron” is the general name for a new line of ships created by the Blackwood corporation on our order. The UMC was interested in ships that fully utilize modern developments in the field of AI, and we also managed to get their Ariadne to make calculations that allowed the corporation’s engineers to adapt many unique modules for the ships of the “Glass squadron”. Why is it called glass? A side effect of the development was that the structures turned out to be somewhat fragile. Time will tell how widespread these ships will become, but we believe that this will not be a misguided investment.[/p][p]— Thank you, Arthur Gage! I’ll stop recording now. Since we both have a little time left, I suggest we continue our conversation outside of the interview.[/p]
