Book 2: The Teraport Wars — The Teraport Wars

Transcript

Jaksmouth: A key part of this overall mission is the recovery of prisoners that commadore haban claims are being held somewhere in this sphere.Some, shall we say, 'informants' of ours have pointed us at about nine hundred and fifty million loose structures like this one. We thought they were ballast, as they were cast off shortly after the sphere was breached.
Tagon: Let me guess... These ballast structures are prisons of some kind, and they're all falling into this central star, and you don't have enough ships to recover them all.
Jaksmouth: How fast does that brick of yours fly?
Tagon: If you want to pay me a per-head bounty, we can break records.
Jaksmouth: Don't push your luck, mercenary.
