Chapter 1283: Prison"s Location
"Ehh maximum security prison s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps aside, it"s s.p.a.ce, right? We can"t be teleporting into them unless we know the place"s coordinate. And since it"s a transport vessel, all the more we would not have its exact -" MIlk who suddenly voiced her concern until Sebastia chimed in her opinion.
"They are meeting at s.p.a.ce Colony 969 for the transfer of prisoners," Sebastia said and Rei knows about that s.p.a.ce Colony Station.
"Why would a United Federation s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p be in Xeon Union"s airs.p.a.ce?" He voiced his query, hoping that Sebastia could shed more light on it.
"Because they are going to have a prisoner exchange programme. Some Very Important Prisoners (VIPs) are being traded for Hathaway and Hathaway alone. The United Federations are keeping Charlotte because they had lots of questions to ask her."
"Sounds awfully convenient. How do you even get hold of this information?" Rei could not fathom the amount of spying she had to do to get the location of the prisoner exchange.
"Oh…Did you?" Kraft chuckled in Sebastia"s direction.
"Fortunately for me, there was no need to. Though, I would like to thank you for your valuable lessons in seduction. Sir Kraft." Sebastia said and somehow people started to wonder what Kraft had been teaching the Female Minotaur. Sebastia however diverted the topic and said that she was lucky enough to grab the attention of a rather h.o.r.n.y officer (no pun intended for minotaurs) and squeeze such information out from his brains with a few of Kraft"s teachings. The System did help with the initialisation since Kraft"s technique of getting information could be a bit hard to grasp for users whose magic abilities were less than inclined.
"Aww, thought at least you would get some fun out of it before delivering the blow of death to your opponents." Kraft shrugs, feeling disappointed at the answer.
"The target did not die as well, else they would have changed the plans drastically and I would not have known where they would be meeting for the exchange of prisoners," Sebastia added.
"I am even more disappointed now. Don"t talk to me right now." Kraft showed Sebastia his hand as if he wanted her to talk to his hand rather than him but obviously, after learning some stuff about Kraft in the Farming World, Sebastia did not care even if she hurt his feelings.
"So… right now, the United Federation Prison s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is carrying the two family members? Why can"t we try and predict where they come from and ambush them before they make the jump?" Ke Loong asked but it looks like Kong Rong who had sufficient undercover experience applauded Sebastia"s choice for the location and timing.
"You want us to jump and grab the VIPs too, don"t you?" Kong Rong checked to reaffirm his suspicions.
"Yes, if they are political figures, we have no use for them. But if they are exchanging for engineers, scientists or some scholar that could give us a better situation of the Mecha World, that would be great."
"Actually, political figures might be useful…bait," Jin said and everyone looked at him to continue the sentence. "I might need a few leaders that are hardworking to lead the team in the future. And usually, those that are caught are always for the people. If they meet the criteria, it would be nice to have an influencer that could move the ma.s.ses."
"Interesting. Looks like being a Panda Lord makes you see a bit of a wider perspective." Kraft replied but Jin too shrugged his shoulders.
"If Sebastia does not know who the VIP is, we just gotta grab them first."
"Why can"t we just do what Jin did with the void being? You know, grab the entire maximum security prison s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and put it in one of the System"s instances. We could then dismantle the entire thing with the System"s help and also convert the entire s.h.i.+p without much death and destruction." Milk asked once again and somehow made Peppers laugh.
"Why don"t while we are at it, steal the entire s.p.a.ce colony station 969 and put it in the System"s care too?" Peppers remarked and somehow Milk knew that Peppers had an explanation that such a feat could not be done which did not care to ask for any further elaboration.
"Since we have a location and when will the exchange be done?" Lynn asked and Sebastia said that it was the only information she was not able to obtain.
"I had been stalking s.p.a.ce Colony Station 969 for some time and was able to get a black market receiver that could get the transmissions signals for almost every s.h.i.+p that comes through. Even with me right here, the receiver is still collecting data while the System helped me to keep an eye out. But judging from the way the officer had spoken, it"s not that soon-"
"Greetings all. A plausible unknown signal had been received. The System requests Minotaur Sebastia to return to the observation post for further a.n.a.lysis."
"Peppers and Rei, go with her. She probably needs some help deciphering. If tech cannot do the trick, get Peppers to zoom the s.h.i.+t out with her magic. If it is the prison s.h.i.+p, then we will do an attack as soon as possible." Jin said and for once, Peppers did not complain much as if she was willing to do this prison heist as much as the others.
Rei nodded his head and the System instantly opened a portal behind them. Lynn quickly took a few wet wipes and pa.s.sed them to Peppers since her mouth was still filled with leftover sauce as well as a water bottle from her storage ring. She was like a mother sending her kid off to school as Peppers thanked Lynn for the a.s.sist.
"As for us, we better start talking about some contingencies in case- Erm no. When things go south." Jin said to the group knowing that Lady Fate will always toy with him no matter the situation.
