670 Cruising on the Cursed Ship (2/2)

”Huh, What do you mean you can't? Can't or won't?” Quinn asked, dumbfounded. Questioning if this was just a bad day for Alex.

”Since when have I ever refused to make such things for you? You saved my arse, and I'm not going to start rebelling against you anytime soon.” Alex replied. ”It's glathrium, we only have a small supply of it left. We have to either start trading with other factions or buying it from them. With that many high tier crystals, using any other material other than glathrium will just be a waste. I can't just make weapons out of beast tier crystals, you know?”

”Purchase?” Quinn started to think. Now that he was back in contact with Logan frequently, maybe he was happy to spare some funds. After all, he was actually part of this ship. In the past, maybe Quinn would have been to stubborn or shy to ask, but that was stupid considering the situation they were in.

Everyone was working together towards the same things, and they needed to use every recourse and perks they could get. If some had more uses than others, then he couldn't be shy, or stubborn.

”Just make what you can, and I'll try and sort out our glathrium problem,” Quinn said.

Alex, pressed the button by the side of his helmet and started hammering away at his work once again. Watching this and listening to what he said, Quinn thought he must be tired. The hammer looked heavy; one of his arms was significantly larger than the other from using the hammer all day.

It didn't look like an easy job for anyone to do.

'I wonder if turning him would have any benefits in any way. As a vampire he would have more stamina, if he turned into an undead, he would have unlimited stamina and more strength.'

Initially, Quinn thought it might be a waste to turn Alex, as he wouldn't be on the front lines fighting. So far, everyone who he had turned had gained quite the strength in fighting power, so he always thought about turning people with this in mind, or those that he had to save. But now, he thought it would be quite beneficial to the team.

Finally, after seeing Alex, Quinn thought it was ready for him to head to the command centre. He didn't know why but he felt a little nervous, but at the same time had a sense, a feeling of being home.

When he arrived on the platform where the large table was placed, everyone was already sitting there looking at some type of map with several different planets on it. Linda, Blip, Dennis, Nate, Sam, Megan, Paul, Kaz, Fex and Peter. There was no Vorden, sorry, there was no Sil.

”Hey, looks like you finally made it!” Fex said. ”When you said you were going to talk to him, I didn't realise you were going to tell each other your whole life stories.”

Fex had no idea how true those words were.

”Sorry, I'm here now, so what are you guys talking about?”

Quinn went to take a seat and looked at Sam, who was the only one standing up and had a strange large stick in his hand, to point at things in the centre of the holographic map.

”Since Quinn is finally here, we can get down to serious business,” Sam said. ”The first topic, how the Sunshields are no more, and the consequences of Burnies defeat.”
