"Mala." Matt began with a stammer. "Please accept my apology. What I said to you was unconscionable. A true man would never have said those things. Ambassador Kirk is right, I had it coming. Please believe me when I say that I'm terribly sorry." Kaleena again tapped Joshua on the back to let him know she was done, and she quickly left the room. "What do you think, Mala? Do you feel it? Do you think he meant it?" Joshua said with a grin. "I think I could feel the love, didn't you?" "Let him go Uncle Joshua." Mala said with an imperious wave of her hand. "He's harmless." "I think it's time you left." Matt corzo nodded stiffly, feeling for the datapad at his side before leaving. Magenta, Gold and her other daughters then converged on Mala as Joshua left for one of the side rooms where Zell was working with the data pad. He laughed as Kirk entered the room. "You three were masterful!" The small man said with a chuckle. "So any idea what's on it yet?" Kirk asked. "Well, I immediately brought up all password protected items. And there's only one thing. And it was very easy to get into. It's all financial transactions." Zell told Kirk. "Very big ones. We're talking billions here. And all of it is Montal money. This bastard is embezelling money from Mama." "Any idea how much?" Joshua asked. "So far, about fifty billion." Kaleena said. "And he has an accomplice. Some guy named Hahd Adralla." "Shit! Of course!" The other two turn to stare at Kirk. "Do you know this guy?" Kaleena asked. "I don't know her, but I know of her." "Oh, a babe huh?" Zell cut in. "She's an Orion." The man said with obvious disgust. "She somehow managed to screw her way into a position on board Excalibur. She's the top computer tech on the Lady Ex." The two stared in shock at the hatred he exhibited for this woman. "I take it you don't like her?" The black haired woman said with a smile. "I despise all Orions. Well, most. There are a few who are good, honorable people. But not enough. I'm going to call RI and see where they have her quartered." "No need. According to this, she's living in the Hondo Korl building. Crime definitely pays. That's one of the finest apartment buildings on the planet." "Kaleena, did you call your father?" "Yes. He said Matt was already gone. But that's ok, I put those five tracking devices you gave me inside Gold's speeder. We'll know where he is at all times." "Good. Now tell me what floor, and which apartment." "The three hundred eightieth floor. Every floor is a single unit, complete with landing platform. Only the best for the galaxies wealthiest." The man's eyes bulged as he shot forward. "All the money is going to Madullo Ship Building." "What kind of ships? Military?" Joshua asked. "Yeah." Kaleena told him. "All they build are frigate size and under. They are a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards." Just then, Magenta and Stefan walk in. "Please say you have something I can kill him for." The man said hopefully. "Sorry. Nothing about Zind yet." Kaleena replied. She then quickly Told the woman what they'd found. "What type of ships are they?" Mama asked. "Sixteen heavily modified Hunter class frigates." "When will they be ready for delivery?" "They're ready now." Zell replied. "The crews are slated to arrive in two weeks to take possession of the vessels. And look. Each of these ships has twin heavy laser cannon mounted down the spine. They're capable of a planetary bombardment. Not on the scale of a BDZ, but they can give you a hard time." "Stefan! We need to find Matt. I want to know who these ships were supposed to go to." Mama grinned. "But first, I need to call Tak'Dahn in here. She said we needed some new ships at Three Suns, and here they are." "Well I'm heading out to have a talk with Matt's accomplice." Joshua told the redhead. "What accomplice?" Stefan and Magenta asked in unison.
