His help screen began to beep as one alert after another began to come through, it seemed that he was the only one awake anymore and the others had decided to follow his lead, but each of them was looking for something different.
Some were looking for resources, while others just invented technology and didn't seem to care that it wasn't compatible with what their ships were currently using.
"What are we going to do?' he asked his friends who chose not to answer his call and decided to send voice mails listed.
"Simple we just keep doing, the same thing that we did before." Star Killer answered him.
Nut" he began but Star Killer stopped him before he could say anything else.
'Look I already spoke with everyone else and we all agreed that there isn't anything that we can do besides find somewhere and lower our heads so that no one finds us."
"Star Killer right, we just destroyed an entire world and that's something that we can't undo. So we have to focus on what we can do." the Ark's captain said to him.
"And that is?" he asked his friends.
'Keep our crews from killing us.' everone else answered him before they began to speak their fears about the men that they had inside their ships
He couldn't help but smile before he started to laugh, it wasn't that he found their situations funny after all he was in the same spot as them, but he was happy to know that they shared his worries.
"So what now? Do we just become raiders and start taking entire populations until we are sure that our men have enough women to go around?" he asked everyone who immediately said yes all at once.
'Okay then at least we have something to do. By the way, does anyone know if there are any human-controlled worlds?' he asked everyone and one of the other players answered him.
"I sent my drones out to look for them and it's odd. They found several human-controlled worlds, but they're all either going through some kind of collapse or are just getting past a civil war of some kind." the other player said to him.
"So what are we dealing with a 40K situation or are they just a bunch of worlds filled with Humans?" Star Killer asked the man.
"That's just the thing, there aren't any signs that these worlds ever knew each other, but I could be wrong." the man answered Star Killer.
"I say that we make the Union again." the Ark said to everyone and his words made the entire chat fall silent.
While the Union did have its benefits, there was no mistaking the crimes that its members had committed in the past. If they were truly trapped in this reality even if it was a virtual one then the consequences of their actions couldn't be ignored.
"He's right but we should focus on getting our guys what they need before anything else because no one likes having to work and not get paid for it.' Star Killer broke the silence, but his words made the silence seem to grow.
He listened to his footsteps as he walked back to the bridge and he hated the fact that he agreed with his friends.
"We need a base." he said to everyone before everyone began to say what they believed would be the best place for their base of operation, but in the end, they agreed that the asteroid belt was the best option.
It wasn't because they could use the floating space rocks to hide, or that the asteroids themselves could be carved stuck together and made into something livable.
No, the reason was simpler than all of that, if their location was ever found they could use the asteroids so they could escape in every direction regardless of the size of the enemy fleet.
he couldn't help but smile as he entered the bridge they had a plan it wasn't a good one and a lot of things could go wrong but it was a plan, he was just about to sit down when he heard the door open again.
"Captain, I would like to speak to you sir." he heard someone that he didn't know say to him.
'Go on." he said to the man who stood in front of the door.
'Sir when my men and I agreed to work with you, we were promised a share of.' the man began.
'Let me guess you and your boys didn't get to have any fun?' he asked the man in front of him.
"Yes sir." the man answered him.
'I'm aware of that, but you have to admit that this is a big ship and it's not the biggest one in the fleet." he said to the man as he made the friendliest smile that he could form.
'But sir.' eh man protested.
'Calm down, your not the only ones who didn't have fun, so we just have to raid a couple of more places until everyone has their share." he said to the man and he couldn't help but notice the look of relief that the man gave him.
He watched the man walk away, he had no idea who he was nor did he care enough to use his help screen so that he could see who the man was.
This was going to be a problem, every one of the men on the ship had their own worries and beliefs, and with time that was going to become an issue in itself.
"Calm down focus on one thing at a time." he said to himself before he began to look through the list of names of all of the aliens that he and his friends would soon be taking.
"Okay these seem to be the best options." he said to himself as he looked at the three races that he chose to target.
Their planets didn't have anything worth taking so whatever they did take would only used to keep the planet's population alive and all of the aliens were used to being slaves.
This was the main reason that he chose them, as the people themselves chose to sell their own children just so that they could leave their worlds.
he sent the images and the locations of the planets to the rest of the fleet and he smirked when he heard the other captain begin to cheer.
By the time they were done both the Twi'lek race and the Dark Elf race would belong to the Union and if they went enough then they would just have to get to the Tamaran species and bring them in as well.
