There came certain benefits when one was married to the interim head of a major corporation. The fact that she was a ten-out-of-ten bombshell was the major perk. The fact that she could hold her own in a brawl or gun fight was another. The fact that she was sweet as could be, smart as hell, and knew her way around a starfighter was yet another. The really minor one, the one that didn't matter as much as the others, was that he could get a bit of access to the more heavy machinery Mandal Hypernautics made.
Sure, he could've asked the actual CEO of MH, but this was more fun. Yes, he could have had the costs charged to the Protectors, but he wanted this to be a surprise. Anija would get mad, probably, but if this paid off, he could get out of cleaning the house and tending the yard for the next few months in punishment. Actually, he'd probably still have to clean and do lawn work, but it would still be worth it. Probably.
As a bunch of his clansfolk started offloading the gear, he heard at least one drill going in the background. With the mining equipment at hand, they could get to work.
