Cantenelli raised an eyebrow at Firas' remark, then afixed his eyes on Ashana. The Asari shrugged casually.<span style="color: DarkOrchid">He's right. </span>She said.<br/><br/><span style="color: Blue">Well...</span>Cantenelli started,<span style="color: Blue">As far as this turning against our favor, I wouldn't worry about Vega. The man has a reputation and from what I know of him, he's very intent on keeping that reputation. He's not known for being hotheaded. I know that he has several classified contracts with the Human Alliance.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: Red">He has a number with the Turian Fleet as well.</span>Falkris added. Cantenelli glanced at his first officer for a moment then nodded.<br/><br/><span style="color: Blue">He's smart. I doubt he'll try anything that could compromise his reputation. Killing mercenaries wouldn't look very good to prospective organizations. But again,</span>Cantenelli shrugged,<span style="color: Blue">I don't know the man.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: MediumTurquoise">Captain, Vega's answered the hail!</span>Mickey shouted from the cockpit.<br/><br/><span style="color: Blue">Bring it up, Mickey.</span>Cantenelli ordered and looked at the large holo-emitter at the center of the CIC. The lights dimmed as the image of a Human woman appeared, enlarged. She was attractive, Ashana noted, and well groomed. Her hair was pulled back neatly and what she could see of her clothes from her neckline looked clean cut.<br/><br/><span style="color: Blue">I'm Captain Cantenelli of the warbird Acheron.</span>Cantenelli announced.<span style="color: Blue">We're en route. If at all possible, I would like to speak with Vega Antoli immediately.</span><br/><br/>The Woman nodded curtly, and apologetically.<span style="color: Teal">I'm afraid not, captain. We were informed of your impending arrival, but Mr. Antoli is presently busy in the factories. He would like to welcome you personally to discuss the particulars of your joint venture.</span><br/><br/>Cantenelli frowned.<span style="color: Blue">Mr. Antoli does understand that this '<i>joint venture</i>' carries a potential for extreme risk on our part?</span><br/><br/><span style="color: Teal">I'm afraid I cannot speak for Mr. Antoli. As I said, he would prefer to speak with you in person.</span>She replied levelly. Ashana watched the woman carefully. She wasn't at all concerned or bothered by Cantenelli's low hostility.<span style="color: Teal">The only information I can impart is where you will be cleared to land in Mr. Antoli's industrial sector. </span><br/><br/><span style="color: Blue">Fine.</span>Cantenelli said and cut the channel.<span style="color: Blue">Mickey, upload the co-ordinates to the shuttle.</span>The lights returned to standard levels.<span style="color: Blue">We show up on orders from the Shadow Broker, and we get the god damn public relations.</span>Cantenelli sighed.<br/><br/><span style="color: Blue">Alright, this is out of our ballpark. Firas, Ashana, Darion. Your up. Get your gear and head to the shuttle. I assume one of you knows how to fly it. </span>Cantenelli looked at Taseer, then glanced quickly at Kala. The Asari engineer gave the slightest of nods.<span style="color: Blue">Kala, you're an engineer. You're free to remain on board if you'd like.</span><br/><br/>Airea and Cantenelli looked at the Human girl expectantly.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
