A HUGE CHEER BROKE OUT in the room.
Amarru’s staff quickly established that Dharma was aboard one of the larger cargo ships that Amarru had sent out, and it was right outside Athens, in the company of a fleet of cargo craft, trader craft, two “borrowed” gyrocopters and a few Sudanese solar gliders. They had struck a bit of trouble in some of the polling stations, because of Cartel militia trying to prevent counting, and in more than one case, trying to set fire to the boxes with voting cards.
Dharma said that he had made the executive decision to bring all cards and voting station personnel to Athens and he was sorry about the fuss that would create.
They were, Dharma said, followed by a number of gyrocopters of uncertain origin, which had been smart enough to keep their distance.
