David maintained an expressionless face. Like the others, Jared clearly recognized Van Der Loo's state of
mind. He had to admit that he could care less. Van Der Loo had his
chance to talk via comm lines, but chose now. He made his bed ... now he
was going to have to sleep in it.
>"Welcome to Starbase 54. Your arrival is quite a surprise....", Van Der > Loo said to the group. David assumed an at-ease position, hands clasped behind his back. He still maintained a stoneface but inside he wanted to beat the hell out of Vanderloo Jared smiled. "Thank you for greeting us so quickly, Mr. Van Der
Loo. After our talk yesterday, I thought it might be prudent to visit your
station. You left me with a number of unanswered questions. I
thought had not other alternative to look into things myself."
