Viggo followed with Astrid and Kareena close behind. "I do what I can to raise them, but its had its difficult moments without their mother around to help. Still, I do my best. They are quite the huntresses now. A few more years until they turn eighteen and I can give them their final trials.
Listening to the talk of bustling business, Viggo nodded as mention of the First Order came up. "Curious that you'd be privy to such information. One would think such truths would be kept as quiet for as long as possible. Then again, there are few who understand the art of war as well as you. Perhaps not a soldier or military tactician, but skilled in understanding its psychology. Impressive as ever. I should count myself fortunate I was able to get into the core with little issue."
Talk then turned to his own business. "Indeed. It is for that very reason that I've come to visit. Sorry that it isn't a social call, but I'm looking to spend a few days here, so we can catch up a bit in the mean time. But regarding business, things have gotten quite exciting in the past month or so. It started with my last auction. A rather interesting character came and dropped quite the sum of credits for the creatures I had and we ended up going into a partnership. I've done a single job and the payout as made things very clear. My work is expanding and a single ship won't cut it anymore, especially if I intend to continue my auctions alongside these new outings. Luckily, the investment from this man alone has more than paid for a new ship." |

Pushing all else that was spoken aside, Mahal focused upon the growth of Viggo's business and the reason he had come. Giving a smirk, he knew now was as perfect a time as any. "Well then, if that is the reason, I have something you might like to see."
Leading Viggo and his daughters across the complex, they moved to a viewpoint of one of the other arms. There a ship rested. It looked similar to the old Venators but with plenty of clear differences. "I have already taken the liberty of crafting you a new vessel. It had gone through its final tests a few days ago and I was going to inform you of its creation within the week. Fortunate that the timing worked as well as it did."

Viggo's eyebrow raised at following his brother, but did so without question. IT wasn;t long before they reached their destination, a large ship resting next to one of the arms. It was then Mahal spoke of its purpose, causing Viggo to step forward and look at the ship more carefully. It was quite a bit larger than his current vessel. He noted the shape and was curious if it still kept its original purpose. If so, it would do well to accommodate his work.
"You shouldn't have. I will say, it would certainly make things easier to have a new vessel already waiting. It looks similar to the old Venators. What can you tell me about it?" |

Mahal smirked, noting Viggo's interest. The man understood his brother well and having constructed the vessel he was currently using, making alterations based upon that design was a simple task. "You would be correct, brother. With the rise of new models based upon the old, I spoke with Kuat Drive Yards and was able to get this design approved. The Venator-III class Star Destroyer. A far more potent warship than its predecessor. Though their is a bit of loss of troops and fighters, being about half the original, I wanted to bring something that could truly be the best of both worlds."
He then looked to his brother. "This model, however, is different. Taking the plans from the Acclamator we designed for you, I was able to incorporate them into this. The majority of the troop and fighter space has been altered to accommodate your quarry. The top bay opens much like the original Venator so large creatures can be dropped right on it and it is capable of landing on a planet. You will also have some room for fighters and soldier, to which I have already supplied with droids. The crew is droids as well, no different than what you are used to. And, of course, a cloaking device to let you get in and out of planets with little issue."

"You flatter me with this gift. It will certainly do well in our work. Based solely on what you have mentioned of the craft, I feel an appropriate name has been decided. Death Song.
With a new ship already in his possession, it meant he could get back to his hunt that much faster. And with two ships at his disposal, he could cover more ground to more quickly gain the Fireworms he sought. Still, he decided it would be best to go ahead and request a new ship to be built as well. He was starting to build a small fleet, now consisting of a new Venator III, a single Acclamator I, soon to be followed by a second.
But despite the swiftness of the business, they would remain for the day for sure to rest before their next hunt. |

Though Viggo had initially planned to depart less than a day after arrival, seems didn't go as planned. Nothing concerning took place, but moving some stuff to the new ship, understanding its set up, assigning the two team between the ships, and simply spending time with Mahal, it had been a few days. It was mildly frustrating to the hunter considering he was currently in the process of completely a new job. He had to keep reminding himself that he gave no time frame for this current task as he was determined to capture all he could for Dragus. It was both a new challenge and a big payday. He simply did not wish to disappoint and delay any more than necessary.
With all things now sorted, Viggo stood upon the bridge of the Death Song, a newly crafted and designed Venator III-class Star Destroyer, one that had been tailored to his profession. Guess it paid to have someone in the business.
"Alright, let us see what this can do. Take her out and make way for Eol Sha."
Following Viggo's instructions, the droids piloted the vessel away from the shipyards, the Shellfire coming up behind. Once both ships were ready they vanished in a blink for their new hunting ground. |
