*Sinistra pushes through payment for Reb's ships in the amount of 90 million credits from the Dark Tide coffers. Lorta makes note of the message from her lord, although the last lines puzzle her. KDY ownership is being passed to Lorta, but something ominous tugs at her heart, regret for the distance between them now gnawing at Lorta.
Harsh words were spoken after Demarus' death and Lorta knew that the Cathar commander had been Sinistra's second closest advisor. She was a cold hearted woman, no one doubted that, but Lorta also knew that her hatred and ambition grew from a need to shield the dearest things she cared for. Things she would die to protect, or kill for, so long as the ones she loved were able to thrive free of the shackles of petty rules and boundaries.
Lorta read the message again and again, stopping each time at the last lines: Time winds down, even for someone like me. My past is catching me and soon all will be revealed. Take care of it, of you and of them. My life was never for me, it was for them, and I go to meet the coming storm so they will have a better future than the one I made.*
*It couldn't be too late to bridge the gap, Lorta knew she had to try. Quickly, she sent off a transmission to Ayran Riddick regarding a temporary assignment to run KDY as an interim president. Ayran agreed heartily to watch over the business in the stead of the shrewd incumbant owners for a 50% cut of the profits.
Lorta packs her things and leaves at once, hoping that somewhere she would find her mistress before it was too late. To the workers, she leaves a note on her door.*
KDY will be run temporarily by Varro until Sinistra or Lorta return.
