Three days came and went, and before Erich knew it, his new exploration ship had been retrofitted to meet Tia's standards. Which Erich knew would be useful considering he was considered a wanted fugitive in Federation space.
So much so that the bounty on his head was worth more than some worlds. It was one thing to escape from prison and take a Grand Inquisitor captive, but to be rewarded with the status of Archon because of it? This was a level of humiliation that the Federation was not willing to tolerate.
In fact, if it weren't for Tia looking out for Erich behind the scenes, he would routinely have to deal with troublesome encounters with bounty hunters searching for a fortune by claiming his head. Of course, considering the fact that Tia had come up with a disguise that would fool even a sage, Erich did not have to worry too much about being captured by authorities since he was assuming the identity of a Dark Elf sage.
