Interstellar Age

Chapter 261 Travelling to the Smuggler's Moon

Erich awoke the next morning in the arms of the Alfheim Empress, and her near identical daughter. The two of them had made sure he had "paid the price" for lying to them the previous day, by sucking him dry all night long.

Naturally the fact that Erich was in a relationship with these two women was kept as an utmost secret, and thus, not even the maids were allowed to enter Lunaria's quarters as Erich slowly dressed himself, before absconding to the scene of his crime.

Once outside of the Empress's bedroom, he heard Tia's new alluring voice in his ears.

"Master is such a bad boy, sleeping with the Alfheim Empress and her Royal daughter. If anyone were to find out about this, it would be the biggest scandal in galactic history!"

Erich simply scoffed as he rolled his eyes before exiting the Alfheim Palace and returning to his personal starship, where Tia and his crew were waiting for him. Mirage had a look of disgust on her face, as she was one of the few people who had come to learn about Erich's affairs with the Alfheim Empress and Princess.

But Erich quickly changed this expression on the woman's pretty face by welcoming her with a kiss. Ultimately, she could not stay mad at the man, and thus accepted him back from his little dalliance with loving arms.

Once the Vigilance had taken off from the Alfheim homeworld, Erich checked with Tia to see if there had been any updated regarding the communications of the Sages, which much to his surprise, she had actually managed to achieve significant results in the few weeks it took them to travel across the galaxy and back to the Alfheim homeworld.

"Actually Master, Tia has indeed gained some results. Tia has been acting as if she were the sage known as Felenar. It was not difficult to mimic his mannerisms and speech after studying him for a few weeks.

Because of this, Tia has set up a meeting with the man in charge. You won't believe what world he will be in.... Go ahead Master, take a guess?"

Erich's luck was exemplary in that moment, because he quickly guessed from the planet that the Greater Sage First Class would be meeting "Felenar" on.

"Oh, I don't know. How about Svartalfheim?"

Tia pouted when she heard this before expressing her thoughts aloud.

"Master is no fun...."

Despite her expression, Erich was actually quite happy. He had brought Sinaria with him after it took much convincing on his part to get Lunaria to allow him to do so. And until now, she had not proven to be very useful in their campaign. But now that they would be travelling to the homeworld of her species, to meet with a Greater Sage, she could finally pull her weight. And he was quick to express this sentiment.

"Well... It looks like Sinaria will finally be some use to us."

The woman in question just so happened to be entering the bridge when she heard this, which caused her to scoff at the very notion.

"Oh joy? It is finally my time as a prisoner to be of use to my captors? Let me guess, you will be using me to gain safe entry into Svartalfheim space?"

Erich nodded his head when he heard the woman's snarky remark, which caused her to roll her eyes, before informing Erich how foolish that plan was.

"Even if I do vouch for you, I have been AWOL for two whole years now. The moment we enter Svartalfheim Space, we will be boarded and interrogated about where I have been, and why I have a former prisoner with me! That is, if you are stupid enough to announce my identity to the first authorities we come into contact with.

I'm afraid we're going to need aliases, and all the fake documents that will be required to overcome Federation security. It won't be cheap or easy to obtain..."

It was at this moment that Kali entered the scene with a smug smile on her pretty face as she made an announcement that caused Sinaria to sulk.

"And that is precisely where I come in. I can get us in contact with some of the criminal elements of the Svartalfheim Federation who will be more than happy to forge our identities for us. Although we will need a new ship.... Entering Svartalfheim Space in an Alfheim warship is just asking for trouble. But I know someone who can get you a good deal...."

Although Tia wanted to announce that she could quite literally handle all of these matters herself. She could tell that her master was enjoying the fact that the two women he had recruited for his cause were finally proving useful, and thus she remained completely silent on the matter.

Erich was so swept up in the moment of cooperation that he was happy to accept Kali's plans, and thus, he was quick to ask her where they should fly to first.

"Alright, so we pick up a new starship, one that is far less conspicuous, and then we meet with the Federation gangs who you have contact with. So what system are we flying to first?"

Kali immediately smirked as she accessed a nearby terminal and plotted a course towards a system on the borders of Asuran and Svartalfheim space, where a large gas giant was the only planet in the system, but it was not the gas giant that was the object of their destination, but rather one of its many moons.

"In my people's tongue, it's called the taskar ka chandrama, otherwise known as the smuggler's moon. If it exists, you can buy it there. So unless there is anything else we wanted to do first, I suppose we get a move on."

Erich nodded his head when he heard this, and plotted the course, before activating the warp drive which sent them flying through another dimension as they traversed across the galaxy in record time. When Erich and his team arrived at the smuggler's moon, they might be surprised to find out that they would get more than they bargained for.
