He waved a fat hand dismissively. “That is easy Governor. I will do what I have always done in these matters when I was second in charge of The Alliance. But with some adjustments. First after going through and finding a problem, I and my team will do a very thorough investigation then pass the findings to your office. If it warrants another opinion, the investigation will be passed to your office for another review. Then you will make the decision as to their punishment if any. If it is just a matter of not really understanding tax law or the process of recording and keeping, then I and my office will help them and train them to get on the right track.....” He paused because he got an idea. “That reminds me. We can hold classes every month on how to run a business and file properly. We can do it in Hoka’s University. Anyway. Does my approach make sense, and does it fit in with your protocols?” He took another sip of his drink while he waited for the response.

“I have no protocols,” Dasca said simply. “This is the first time I’ve had to deal with the financial side of administration, though I’m a quick study.” She didn’t want him to get the idea that she was going to run blindly through this. “But I will ask questions and you’ll have to bear with me as we work together if they are seemingly obvious.”

Zerbo nodded. “That is fine madam. We all have to learn sometime. We all have our own areas of expertise, this just happens to be my only one. So you are lucky!” He chuckled at that. It was good to laugh he thought. It has been awhile.

She grinned and leaned back in her chair. “When I get reports, what are the most important things I should be looking for?” It was a pretty simple question, but the financial reports on the colony could get complicated, as she already knew having perused the last few to get an idea at where things stood. A lot of it appeared nonsensical to her, as it just wasn’t something she had had to deal with as a starship captain. Her and Cory had had some complicated finances between them that had to be sorted out during the divorce settlement, but that was nothing compared to running and entire colony.
