The fleets of the Golden Skull Alliance and the Adelaide Mercenary Company were finally ready to depart after a few days.
The Gemini Family, the Lehrer Foundation, the Santana Group and the Boojay Family had opted to stay behind. Their salvage teams were constantly unearthing more treasure from the broken fragments of the Palace of Shame and other tricky places.
Staying behind also allowed these pioneering groups to make good use of all of the enormous warships and warship debris.
Ves had already learned that the more ambitious pioneering groups wanted to package up the alien warships and tow them back to civilization in order to maximize their profits.
He wished them good luck in this endeavor. The profits would be massive if they managed to pull it off, but it would take many months to tow all of the high-value warships to safe harbor.
The probability that they would get intercepted was small, but not completely unlikely.
