123 Expansion III

"What do you mean you don't know?" Ask Leslie in confusion.

"Haha I mean I'm not sure if I have some, it's quite rare after all." Arc Grin.

"Looking at the grinning face of Arc. Leslie knew he was just playing with her. "You bastard you are playing with me are you?" Leslie pretending to be angry...

"Haha, not really but it really is quite rare and hard to produce. But I think I can give you a few as thanks for personally handing the specter to me." Said Arc smiling.

"Hehe, thanks ill take that as it's really quite useful. Is there a way for me to get it in the long term?" Leslie asks with a begging expression.

"Haha, boss you can give her some of my supplies." Said Tiffa.

Arc was surprised to hear Tiffa request. It is the first time for her to request something for someone else.

Leslie too was surprised she didn't think Tiffa would be that generous as she knows the value of that solutions. If only she knew that if Tiffa wants it she can bathe with it if she wants.

"Haha, well I can't say no to that," said Arc.

"Sister Tiffa are you sure? Didn't you need it yourself?" Said, Leslie.

"When did they become a sister?" Ask Arc in his mind.

"It's ok I don't need that much and besides boss is very generous with his personal employees." Said Tiffa.

"Alright, I can give you 4 a week that the best I can do at the moment." Said Arc.

Leslie is as ecstatic she was only taking chances by asking she didn't really expect to get some as she knew how valuable it is as even the heads of GFA needs to pay a huge price for it. But would have thought that the Secretary of Arc, and her would hit it off right away like they are old friends. Receiving 4 a week is a huge gain for her.

"I'm willing to pay for it, just tell me what you want for it?" Said Leslie seriously.

No need it's coming from Tiffa pocket anyways you can ask her but I doubt she will ask for anything. Said Arc Smiling.

"That's right just take it as a token of my friendship." Said Tiffa smiling.

Leslie then hugs Tiffa and said "thank you so much sister Tiffa. Tell me if this guy bullies you ill help you bully him..."

Tiffa giggles, and said. "Don't worry my boss is the best."

Arc can only facepalm, at their conversation, Dianna just watches them with a smile on her face as for Jarvis as usual has no emotion on his face.

They chat merrily as they walk to the Specter. And after about 20 minutes of walking, they come in front of the Specter.

"Everyone this is the Specter. So what do you think?" said, Leslie with a proud look on her face.

A huge Jet Black with red trimmings the whole ship is mostly back it has a very streamlined design that looks like a very sharp greatsword it's about 1.2 kilometers long and 400 meters wide there's almost no opening on the ship like it was molded from a single piece of black metal it is slightly bigger than a regular personal cruiser.

"This is the Specter. Its made from 90% Draconian Black steel or Black sun steel and 10% infernal Crystal it uses 5 of the most advanced folding warp engine that I develop myself. This thing is almost impossible to track as it uses the most advanced stealth technology incorporated in its whole body it has a huge storage capacity and can carry 100+ mecha without any problem it can also carry 10,000 passengers or more. Its also one of the fastest ship the human has at the moment its bigger than your regular cruiser and it is perfect for short to medium-range travel though it is not recommended for long travel because of its limited storage space but other than that it's perfect. She explained the ship like a professional dealer.

Tiffa couldn't help but giggle. "Sister Leslie you look like a professional ship dealer."

"Hahaha, Arc also laugh and said I'll take it, pack it up."

Leslie can only smile embarrassingly she was so focused on explaining she didn't realize she sounded like a ship dealer selling a ship. Now that she thinks about it, she felt more embarrassed, her face is so red she looks like she has a fever.

Tiffa to save Leslie said, "let's look inside I want to see the inside."

"Hehe Ok, follow me," said Leslie.

She comes to the side of the specter there's already a bridge prepared in advance for boarding the ship.

A red laser scan Leslie for a few seconds when the laser turns green the side of the ship like an overlapping puzzle it moves around until an opening is made that can fit 6 person side by side.

"Very cool, Arc couldn't help but mutter."

"The specter didn't really have doors its whole body is made of overlapping moving parts and can change at the ship or its captains will that's the special features only Specter have." Said Leslie proudly but didn't explain more like before.

"Amazing," said Arc. He followed Leslie he looks calm but inside he was like a child receiving a birthday gift and couldn't wait to open it.

As expected the inside is also very luxurious it also follows a black and red theme. But despite that, it's not dark or creepy inside instead it looks like a very expensive hotel. Leslie guides them through the cockpit to officially hand over the Specter to Arc.

The cockpit is quite wide and the whole side is like transparent glass they can see outside very clearly. Leslie initiates some command and after that, a black orb appeared right in front of the captain's seat.

Leslie then said, "this is the admin console and only the owner has access to it, not even the captain can access it without the approval of the owner my grandpa transfered me the rights and now I'm transferring it to you."

Leslie then put her hand on the orb and said. "Initiate command and ownership transfer."

Initiating command and ownership transfer a synthetic voice sounded in the ship command center.

Biometrics scan complete.

DNA scan complete.

Transfer ownership would you like to continue?

"Yes!" Said, Leslie

She then looks at Arc and said. "Put your hands on the crystal orb."

Arc complied and put his hand on the Orb.

Scanning new owner biometrics….

Done.

Scanning DNA...

Done.

…. …. ... …

After a few more verification the transfer is completed.

Then the orb moves down on the floor again until it can no longer be seen.

Leslie then looks at Arc and said "congratulation you are now the proud new owner of the Specter please take care of it." After a few more pleasantries Leslie said her goodbye she hug Tiffa and whispered something to her that makes her giggles… then she left. Leaving Arc and the rest inside.

"Eve, go ahead," Arc put his phone that transforms into some kind of device and plugs it self into the main console of the ship a few seconds later Eve's voice can be heard from the ship speakers.

"This is a good ship boss," said Eve. "We can do a lot of things with it. Boss, I suggest you made rank 5 military-grade nanomachines and integrate them to the ship it will make this ship more powerful."

Arc smile and said, "it's going to take a lot of nanomachines."

Leslie didn't really leave she met with Lisa in the lounge overlooking the dock and the Specter can be seen through it.

"So what do you think?" Said Lisa.

"Well, he's not bad, at least compared to the spoiled brats from Celestia he is far above them." Said, Leslie.

"That's a good evaluation coming from you, if I didn't know you I would have suspected you like him." Said Lisa.

"Haha, we've known each other for a long time Lisa you know I'm not that easy to get. I actually like her secretary more." Said, Leslie.

"Huh, Who Tiffa? Why?" Lisa asks in confusion.

"Well, she's like a sister I never have." Said, Leslie.

"Is that so." Said Lisa she and Leslie are childhood friends they went into the same school and part of the same class for over 3 years even when after they graduated they keep in touch with each other

"I'm more concerned they won't be able to pilot the Specter. According to grandpa, it's quite hard to pilot it. As many of its control are unique so even an experienced pilot needs a good amount of time to get used to it."

But as soon as she said that, she saw the specter powering up. Surprising her and Lisa. They stop talking and just continue to watch the Specter.

Piloting The Specter is nothing to Eve the moment she took control of the ship she already knows the full capability of the ship. Of course, she needs Arc verification in order to use all ship capability. Otherwise, she would be treated as a threat and even though the ship's local AI is powerless to stop her it will limit her capabilities and it will prevent her from completely taking over the whole ship.

After Eve cleared all the departing protocol they were cleared for take-off.

She then delicately moves the ship into the space station dock opening then after clearing the exit she powers up the ship and left for Liberty.

Leslie was so surprised when she saw it. The real reason She and Lisa didn't leave yet is to make sure there will be no problem if Arc and his men cause an accident trying to leave the dock.

Leslie then looks at Lisa and said. "Are you sure none of them have been to space before?"

Lisa didn't look at her and continue to look at the disappearing Specter. "Pretty sure, at least there's no record of it, and judging from their reaction I can really say Arc has never been to space until now."

"Maybe one of his companions has a piloting background we just didn't know about it. Like the old man behind him." Said, Leslie.

"Jarvis? That's his butler, but I can't deny that. Anyways the expected accident didn't come so it's time for me to leave." Said Lisa.

Leslie then said, "Lisa are you sure you didn't want to transfer to work for me I need someone like you, you know."

Lisa smile and said you already know the answer well see you again soon. Lisa then left leaving Leslie sulking.

"Well, whatever it's still a good day for me." Thinking of the 4 special solutions every week that Arc will be giving her earlier makes her very happy.

She gives one last look at the already disappears Specter and smiles. "What an interesting guy."
