Inside a dark pirate ship drifting near a broken asteroid belt, Varkas "Black Fang" sat on a metal throne with one hand gripping the armrest.
His scarred face looked even more vicious under the dim red lights of the command room.
In front of him, several pirates knelt with their heads lowered.
One of them was trembling while holding a glowing information crystal.
Varkas narrowed his eyes. "Speak."
The pirate swallowed hard. "Boss… we found out who that silver ship was connected to."
Varkas's fingers tightened. "Good. Tell me."
The pirate quickly said, "That ship belongs to Astral Cosmic Terminal One. More accurately, it was a private ship under Manager Paren's authority."
The command room became quiet.
Several pirates exchanged nervous glances.
Varkas's expression darkened. "Cosmic Terminal?"
The pirate nodded quickly. "Yes, Boss. And the woman who piloted it… she seems to be an important inner member of the terminal."
Varkas clicked his tongue. "Damn it."
