Zerbo was in his really big office in the top floor of the Galaxy Trade Tower. Seeing how his new role for OED is similar to his old job except with no extortion or stealing of funds, he was hard at work finalizing the budget for OED V for the year when he decided to take a brake.

Walking over to his bar and pouring himself a nice drink he walked over to the window to look out onto the landscape of the city. It was raining and dreary outside. He felt the same inside as far as emotions went. Taking a long swig of his brandy he exhaled loudly. “You have really done it now Zerby. You can never go home or you will be killed. You cannot leave this planet or you would be killed. And you have burnt damn near every bridge in this city except for the Governor which has basically taken pity on you.” He took another drink. “How are you going to fix this mess and be of use to the beings of this planet? Better yet. What can you do to make a friend here? I long to be c asked to go out as someone’s friend and have a fun night out.” The thunder boomed loud as the lightning flashed and he sipped on his drink.

Zerbo’s comm chirped and his receptionist said “Minister, there is a Major General Charles Tenkiller here to see you. He does not have an appointment.” The name would be familiar to Zerbo. Tenkiller was the Vice-Commander of the newly created Colonial Customs and Defense Agency. He was also the man that hired Zerbo’s former Chief Security Leader, Feleck Nords.

Zerbo let the comm chirp for a bit before he realized it was going off. He was lost in thought. Going over and pressing the comm: “Yes. Sorry about that. Please send him in.” Zerbo didn’t bother turning on the lights or fixing his tie and suit. He just looked out the window.

Zerbo. Finance Minister

The door slid open and a human man with dark red skin and long jet-black hair wearing the uniform of the CCDA came in. “Minister Zero, sir. Thank you for seeing me. I’m Major General Charles Tenkiller. I’ve got a problem, Minister. And rather than spending the next few days trying to navigate the pain-in-the-ass bureaucratic labyrinth that seems to be Colonial finance, I figured I’d come straight to you.” and he walked up to the desk and looked down at Zero.

“I’d like to know when the CCDA can expect the release of the funding we requested five months ago for the upgraded sensor array on the Space Traffic Control module on the orbital platform? We need this equipment, Minister… and nobody here seems to give a damn. And thats not a dig at you, sir. I know you have a lot on your plate and probably haven’t even heard of this before. I’m just trying to get it handled one way or another.”
