[b][i]Scipio Industries and Finance + Ken Neumann[/i][/b]

Despite himself, Ken was impressed by the swift liberation of Kintan, even though he inwardly knew that the liberation could easily have become a 'liberation' had Leonard's whims been different. But said whims were startlingly easy to decipher; they mostly consisted of 'having fun' with 'his toys'. Briefly, Ken wondered if he were just another plaything for the independently wealthy industrialist turned lordling, whose attitude was different from Elias (Folen)'s fatherly warmth yet no less an influence on his path. What was said path? Well, just a more pragmatic road to the Believers' goals of sector-wide emancipation.

As the eighteen-year old laid himself down on his bed in the quarters alloted to him on Leonard's ship - quarters close to where Leonard slept - he made the decision to pull out a small comm unit from his jacket; he had brought it for the Paradise trip, but had only used it to report that the Slaves from Vordan are free now. This comm unit was special as it was able to encrypt and decrypt Believer codes and bounce messages through multiple hubs. Perfect for contacting his superiors.

Typing a message through said comm unit, Ken would report to the Believers' higher-ups.

[i]Kintan and a large proportion of the Nikto species have been freed from the slavery of the Hutt Cartel. The man behind this liberation is Leonard L. Scipio, a former industrialist and banker now turned independent warlord. Scipio is physically interested in me and has a mildly immature and childish personality that can nevertheless be of service to the Believers' goals. Requesting that a representative be sent to Leonard's HQ - my present location, a Venator-class Star Destroyer named[/i] The Gamechanger [i]- to assess the viability of Scipio as an ally. Freeman out.[/i]

And with that, Ken smiled.
