Chapter 71: Zeus-1

The public-use section of Planet Skyfire’s Airship compound was separated in to several sectors They included the norars

Only the VIP hangar had individualized docks and warehouses, but it was reflected in the price – one they had to pay monthly Further, one had to hire their own security

Lan Jue and his beauties had parked the p12 beside the VIP hangar, one of the reason why the guards hadn’t dared trouble the

The standard color of the airship had been painted over in a brilliant sapphire blue, all but for the alloy door which retained it’s original silver finish Above the door was so jutting out to point the way It was registered to Zeus’ Jewelry Shop specifically, for use in transporting particularly rare goods

Lan Jue sauntered in to the hangar in his khaki windbreaker, followed by his ladies in single file He walked lazy by, stopping to lean against one of the metallic walls and stuff his hands in the pocket of his windbreaker He pulled a cigar from so it unlit

Several deep-blue robots of various kinds bustled around the hangar, engaged in various activities No hu appeared to be done by ars was private, and he wished to keep it so As a result no human employee possessed the qualifications he required The interior of the hangar, thus, was a world of silver and blue with the occasional flash of a spark The effort and result of a mechanized workforce

Three ships were anchored within, all of similar size The exteriors all looked exactly the same – all a lu or number

The ships were seventy s, sliines sat dor, and one enormous one on the tail It was, simply, a work of art

“Zeus-1 Power Systeht status approved, and ready for boarding Boss, ready when you are”

Lan Jue looked over the powerful, sleek fra no effort to hide the pride in his eyes He nodded his head, and softly his voice issued forth “Let’s do it!”

Xiuxiu’s fingers tapped at the keyboard, and the closest handful of robots lurched in toraently to one side in ranks, as the interior of the ship awoke

Zeus-1 becaht It’s brilliant sapphire sheen was illuminated froreat bird shaking itself from slumber

The others didn’t wait for Lan Jue, who still leaned against the ith the cigar in his uo each made their way to the ship Xiuxiu finished with the computer and joined Lan Jue as he an to rev up, thruusts froar Lan Jue’s windbreaker flapped in response

Xiuxiu could see the side of her employer’s face from where she stood There was a melancholy in his eyes, and his hair was in a mess However, he’d taken care not to appear too sloppy The collar of his windbreaker was pulled up to conceal his neck, but it lookeddeeper
