SWN Firefly Episode 1, Part 3

The Sisters looked concerned.

The Alliance officer seated across the table from them stood out like a sore thumb in his ‘disguise’. If he had strolled into the bar in full military regalia it would have been less obvious who he was.

Perhaps that was the point, and he wanted the locals to know who the Sisters were involved with.

Perhaps this was a message.

Perhaps he was an idiot.

Either way he was displeased.

“You put a 500k bounty on an IPN boat? This was supposed to be discrete…” he said, staring at both of the Sisters in a manner that would normally get other players a quick trip 6 feet down.

They were patient.

“You saw the security feeds just as we did”, stated one of the Sisters, eyes unblinking as she stared back at the Alliance officer.

“Our ship had remote hacked into the facility before Allen’s lackeys arrived on the scene, those… things tore through their ship’s doctor in seconds, and one of them apparently survived an EVA with no suit and boarded their ship as they departed… with the Alliance data core.”

The Alliance officer blinked, and paused a moment before responding.

“We still have no idea what was going on on that station, but if rumour begins to circulate that the Alliance was engaged in maltech research… I will hold you both accountable. This needs to be contained.”

“Speaking of things Mal related, that was Mal Reynolds ship” the Sisters replied in unison.

“Up the bounty to 1 million. If he’s feeling greedy he will just try to unload it, but if he can find some way to make the Alliance suffer with whatever is on that core he will do that instead.”

The Sisters nodded.

He was an idiot after all.
