Shopping Run

It would still take Nova solis a few hours to get here to Handeln III. So Kita didn't need to make any changes to his plan, his shuttle proceeded to take him to the industrial machines section of the Jeager.

As he got out of the shuttle, he could see the huge store front of the Cosmolink industries. They were a huge corporations spanning all over Human occupied space. They were one of the major corporations of the empire. They did business in Quadrillions. So it wasn't an exaggeration when Kita said that their storefront was one of the most luxuriously decorated on the whole planet of Handeln III.

As soon as Kita entered the store front, he knew that their cameras and monitoring systems had already figured out who he was and just how much money he had.

Armed with that information, Soon one of the salesman approached him and guided him towards a VIP room. Obviously not everyone would be guided by a personal salesman and be taken to a VIP room. It was only reserved for the ultra wealthy like Kita.

Kita didn't mind the treatment. He had money, and they knew it. So it made everything easier. With the help of the Salesman, he ordered quite a few industrial machines.

Cosmolink Industries specialized in the design and manufacturing of Heavy and light industrial machineries. They ranged from simple food processors to high-end fabs and everything in between.

The Machines Kita bought included a industrial Nutrient Bar production machine. It was a pretty special machine as it could prove to be crucial in times of need.

A Nutrient bar was just a bland piece of Food that only had the required nutrients and energy a human would need to live for a day. It had no taste, no smell or anything. It was pretty horrible to eat just by itself. But there existed recipes that used additives and improved the flavor. But it didn't help much as the basic bar didn't have any taste by itself. But some swore that these recipes were the bomb.

The Nutrient Bar production machine took in anything organic in nature and turned it into Nutrient bars. It didn't matter what the input organic stuff was. It could range from fruits and grains to waste that even poisonous in nature. The materials inputted had no effect on the taste what so ever. You could put in high quality ingredients and it would still taste the same as the one made from raw sewage.

It broke down everything it took in down to it's nutrients and then produced bars out of them. The end result was that horrible tasting nutrient bars. Identical in nature, all of them were packed with nutrients and necessary energy to get one through the day.

The one Kita bought was quite powerful. It could produce about 1000 bars per hour given ample amount of organic materials.

Another machine that Kita bought was a couple of Industrial grade Fab. These things were quite powerful in nature. One could manufacture almost anything with it. It was a pretty handy tool to have in a workshop.

The Engineering department had asked for a fab so that could easily manufacture replacement parts with the materials on hand instead of waiting months. So one of them would go to there.

The second one would be for the Lab.

Kita wanted a Fab for the lab cause he planed to build many of the Lab equipment himself. So he needed such a high grade machine to fabricate those precision machines.

He had bought a few other machines from them. All of them were needed aboard the Jeager.

After he paid for them, he left the store.

The machines would be delivered to the Shore within the week. That was quite a fast. It showed the advantages of coming to Handeln. If Kita had ordered these things anywhere else, it might take up to a year before he could expect to receive them.

Cosmolink had huge warehouses in this system where they stored their full catalogue to get things delivered as fast as possible.

After coming out of Cosmolink, Kita headed towards Novagen Scientific. He wanted to see whether he could find some specialized Lab equipment.

Novagen mostly worked with precision Lab equipment. And were very reputable in the industry. Most didn't know, but they had a secret connection to the military. So they would get the first dibs in bringing the cutting edge products developed by the Arcorn Military to market. They paid a huge amount of sum for this. And earned even more in the process.

But Kita knew that even the most cutting edge stuff that they offered was still at least a few generations behind the real cutting edge equipment used by the military.

Kita already had in mind what he wanted. So as he stated his requests to the salesman, The guy had a smile on his face as he showed Kita their offerings. But to Kita who was used to the Latest cutting edge, these things seemed lackluster.

Much of the things they offered had already become obsolete in his eyes. But there were still a few things that he deemed good enough. So he ordered them, And decided to fabricate the rest of the stuff himself after he got his hands on the Fab.

After he finished his little shopping run, It was almost evening. So he decided to get something to eat.

He decided to give York a call to see if he was around.

"Hey, Where are you at?" Kita asked after York picked up.

"You're here? I'm at Handeln VI. There's an auction here."

"I See, I'm at Handeln III, wanted to see if you wanted to grab some food."

"Can't man. It'd take me at least a day to get to III. I'll meet you the day after tomorrow. I'll head over there after I'm done buying up these exotics for Dr. Kbom."

"Sounds good!" Kita replied.
