[3/3]
It would be a shame then that when they did cripple a ship trying to smuggle slaves offworld the ordinarily respectable value of a cargo hold full of able-bodied slave species would be wasted, but the offered bounty of the destroyed ships alone in this decree was well worth the journey and months of silent patrolling. Of course, if the Pect’Krix’Kannar did sieze a ship intact… Well, who is to say whether the slave stock within was uselessly slain or died of asphyxiation in the holds from breaches into vacuum as opposed to being subtly transferred to his own ship and perhaps less wastefully sold elsewhere? Yes, this was wise. Slice-While-Blinded would consign to bloody death or cold vacuum any slave species scurrying away as was decreed, but not until after he had packed the holds of his ship to the brim with slave stock that would be sold for a tidy side profit after their hunt.
“I deem it worthy. Send the coordinates to the navigatrix and see that it is done.” Slice-While-Blinded regarded his second-in-command again in full, taking his measure. “Do you draw and challenge, or sheathe and obey?”
“I sheathe and obey, Honoured Archon.” Strike-From-Above retreated, causing his captain’s crest-feathers to ruffle slightly in pleasure.
Yes, today at least. Slice-While-Blinded thought to himself. But for how long?
Strike-From-Above truly was an invaluable officer, one of the best that Slice-While-Blinded had ever had in his service. Strong, ruthless and cunning, with an eye for opportunity and profitable murder that would see him go far in the territories hierarchy. Slice-While-Blinded would have to slay him soon, before he himself was slain for a lapse in vigilance. That, or grant him his own command with a ship in the Rimward Murder Flock. Such was the Pect’Max way.
