Duo's Priorities It had been a peaceful day and brought home to Duo the fragility of life. Nothing that was done was without consequence, be they large or small, easy to see or concealed. Everything had consequences. He would love to make it his first priority to pack the two men and child into the shuttle and head out into space, taking them away from the trials to come. What a disaster that would be, not only for the ESUN, but for them all on a personal level. He would love them until the day he died and beyond, but sometimes to love a person you had to know your limitations, lest love turn to resentment and resentment turn bitter. Having either of these men resent him was not on his agenda. Though they might not see it, he did. Milliardo Peacecraft and Chang Wu Fei belonged to their people. That had become second priority to Milliardo, his first priority, of course, being Stephen. For Chang it would be his people; Duo had no doubt they would come. Perhaps only a few at first, but as Chang got them settled more would come, giving their allegiance to the Chang of Chang and his new direction. This year would be a time of change for Sanc. Rebuilding projects would boost employment opportunities and that would be good for the ailing economy. The subway system would need to be mapped and its structural integrity determined, then the renovation. The city needed the convenience of a subterranean transit system during winter. And the power station, phase one of the project would take upwards of three years to complete. The world economy went into recession following the wars. The recession was followed by a boom but over the last year or so the stock markets had taken a beating and the resource satellites being mined were running out of ore. Until the new satellites arrived and were placed in secure orbits to be mined, the resources commodities would remain strained. It would take time and until then Sanc needed to survive. Wu Fei intended his Clan assist in the restoration of Sanc's economy. To Duo's knowledge the vast majority of the clan had been highly trained professionals whose skills covered everything from high energy engineering to cooking. If they could make use of those skills the Clan could integrate more quickly and set down foundations for themselves to become an integral part of Sanc. It all took time and effort and would demand his men worked together to ease the cultural differences and make the integration amicable. Duo wanted a great many things and prime on his list of priorities was to have his men working, healthy and distracted while he went about an agenda of seduction. Duo wanted a real family, with children, and was no fool. He knew he would have to take a leaf out of Chang's book and, perish the thought, he would have to have a plan. ~ * ~ |
