Confirm with Skylar the idea of offering to ship people offworld for the police. Include the idea of becoming a "to ground level" transport service as well (for police groups leery of sending them off planet, who are also understaffed for such things). If he confirms, then suggest to the son to proceed with that idea, starting small with lower level police first. If he vetoes or wishes the plan delayed, then wait.
Also ask the son (and Skylar) if he thinks Beta is a good place to set up the surgery pods, or if Gamma or Alpha would be preferable. If Beta is good, then do whatever prep work is necessary to get the surgery set up in the back of the base and inquire about the necessity of a false wall to hide the apparatus.
If Alpha or Gamma are better, prep the apparati for transport. do we have more than one surgical suite?
Kri hasn't responded, so we'll hold on for the moment. The son, however, would also point out that a related method would be offering smuggling services. Many people want to get off world but lack the money or paperwork to do so. Offering to smuggle them and then just shipping them off to Heph would be an efficient method. It takes years for ships to reach their targets and getting a message back would take a long while as well, since FTL comms are rarely available to civilians. So there would be no questions from any relatives or accomplices here for years. And once those started, you could just vanish and reappear elsewhere with different names and people and continue the service. The best part is that the people would come to you and they would have reason to be quiet.
The son thinks setting up here would be a good idea; no one would notice large amounts of materials or crates moving in and out around here, in a warehouse district, where as doing it in alpha would be very weird, doing it higher up the stack would be too dangerous and lower would face the threat of people trying to rob you.
We can get a fake wall built if you'd like.
Gus has friends, a steady job that pays space gun money, and he might just get to shoot somebody if he's lucky. Gus is happy to be here.
Go ahead and stick the gun down my pants. Making sure to cock it first, of course.
Heyooooo
"Hey medi-dudes, you want we to go get some poor chump for you to cut open? I could totally make it happen."
Offer to utilize my skills in murder/kidnapping/murdernapping. And call bosscat to tell him I'm doing that.
EDIT: Greencard acquired! This plan is going to need a bodybag. we have those, right? Some restraints would be useful as well.
Prepare, then go find some hobo.
We have things like body bags, sure. Though getting yourself a hobo will require going deeper down. No homeless around here. No one to get money from, nothing to eat, nothing to scavenge. Not a good place for them. What kind of restraints? Also , how ya gonna stop him from screaming the whole way back?
"Looks like this is going to be an interesting run, lets try not to piss off the locals right?"
Jesse said with a grin before noticing his rather ridiculous clothing, and lapsing back into silence.
When the Son is dressed we shall go onwards to find people to kidnap or something.
Well then I guess I'm ready to go
Petra is ready to go.
The rest of the way up to the storage unit is...mostly uneventful. The upper levels are far brighter and more decorative then you would have imagined; it looks like some sort of carnival with everything done up in vivid colors, sparkling materials and tinted lights. The people are all in fairly similar clothing to your own, though some wear more extravagant things over their bodystockings, including one woman who was wearing a sort of projector ring around her waist that produced holographic images of birds and flying serpents and air-swimming ferret looking things, all swirling around in the air around her. You do your best to remain inconspicuous, an attempt not aided by one of the groups rather...turgid appearance. You manage to make it to the storage area without any major incidents though. The actual container itself isn't much different from a large garage; just a big empty, air conditioned room with a large segmented, vertically opening door taking up most of the front wall.
