White Beard's shuttle had just docked with the Dark Star III as the door opens he stepped out into the ship's hanger. Tempest Star was already waiting for him as was a spectacle wearing Buccaneer in a white lab coat both seemed ready to give a report.
"Ah..commander I hope your journey was pleasant." The scientist a smile on his face as he begins to walk with White Beard to the turbo lift.
"Yes, the Dr's facility was most impressive." White Beard responds without even glancing at his followers. "I assume you have a report?"
"Yes yes Captain, I have perfected my infusion device we no longer need to directly hook up the omni-gem to infuse energy into our troops and machines! I am very proud of this it may be my greatest invention yet!" The scientist giddily explains.
"Excellent! I'm certain that will make our ally happy too." White Beard presses the call button and waits for the Turbo Lift to descend.
Tempest Star breaks his silence "I do not mean to question your judgement captain but is this alliance truly wise? I do not trust this Dr WilyII, I fear he will cast us aside when we cease to be of use." White Beard glances at Tempest Star, no other member of his crew could get away with questioning his orders but Tempest Star was possibly the only minion he trusted. Back when Shadow Star had attempted to usurp his command Tempest Star stood by his side and saved his life and White Beard knew to take his concerns seriously. In truth he did not completely trust his new ally, and there was some risk in leaving the Omni-Gem in his station but the fact was he needed WilyII's vast resources as theirs was dangerously thin after Blue's last victory.
"Arrr true but remember WilyII needs us as much as we need him, and we have too much to gain in this alliance that being said I have contingencies in place encase WilyII decides to cast us adrift."
The turbo lift opens and the captain steps inside followed by his scientist minion, tempest remains outside he has his own duties to take care of. "Yes captain, I will return to my duties then." Tempest Star bows and walks off to prepare the drop ships for their next mission as the door closes.
"Bridge." White Beard crosses his arms, his scientist minion steps forward "Sir with my work complete I'd like to talk about my side project." "Go on." White Beard examines his pipe, he remembers how long it had been since he craved it, a century at least.
-"Well captain I've been studying that android and I've learned something interesting from the scans." The Scientist adjusts his glasses.
-"I am in little mood to talk about that Blue Wench." He scoffs.
-"Be that as it may sir, I have discovered she emits the same unique energy signature as the Omni-Gem. That might explain why we though it was located at that ruin in the azure sea." He rubs his hands together.
"Interesting, but how does it benefit me?" White Beard raises an eyebrow
"Well-if we could capture her I could unlock the secrets of precursor robotics. Truth is we were never able to learn much from the wrecks of guardian robots and I'm fairly sure she is one of their creations now." The scientist pulls a data pad from his lab coat pocket and shows some data on a few parts they had collected over the years comparing them to the few scans they have of Blue Valkyrie.
"I will consider your request, for now transfer the blueprints of your machine to the Domination Station the sooner we super charge our forces the sooner we can take this planet. Also let no one know about what you have found, I do not want my "ally" to gain access to precursor tech before we do and the good doctor may have eyes and ears everywhere even here."
"Hehehe of course! I will try to develop a capture device should she survive the battle with WilyII's joes." The Scientist steps out with White Beard onto the bridge and the captain takes the command chair.
