Chapter 65: Bonnie

"What?" Adam asked in surprise.

[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Uh oh, streamers about to get caught. Kekeke.]

[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Quick hide.]

"Is there a reason he is coming back? Did I set off a silent alarm?" Adam asked as he looked around for a place to hide.

[[No silent alarm was triggered, it appears that a ship with a Palaxia registration is docking at the pirates base and the pilot has requested to meet the boss.]]

[Netononato (Earth): Oh fuck did the streamer just luck out and the informant come to him?]

[Devil_Prince_Asura (Deverinian 9): Is something like that even possible?]

Adam heard footsteps coming down the hall before rushing towards the only place that could offer any sort of possible hiding place, the closet.

As he opened it he found that it was full of old clothes that smelt like they hadn't been washed for years.

"Oh fuck that reeks." Adam said as he activated the anti-gravity armour's helmet to protect him from the smell before stepping inside and closing the cabinet door just before the room's door unlocked and opened.

[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): I'm thankful smell-o-vision isn't a thing.]

[Gunlovergirl (Earth): For once I agree with you.]

[Pokemonking0924 (Mobius 2.0): Hey we can still see the room even though the streamer is inside the closet.]

[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): The streamer seems to have about six microcams that appear to be invisible considering the different angels we have been shown in the past.]

Adam peeked through the gap he had left in the cabinet door and saw a muscular woman dressed in clothing that highlighted her ample bosom enter the room and sit behind the desk before resting her long muscular legs on it.

[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Bro the pirate boss is a woman.]

[Ayato_Kanzaki (Earth): I guess space pirates are an equal opportunity employer.

[Werewolf1987 (Caniniar 4): More like she probably got to the top by scheming and killing.]

[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Nothing wrong with that.]

[Vinnaka (Felinia 6): And then also killing any that challenge her.]

[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Even better.]

[Werewolf1987 (Caniniar 4): This Earth girl is cold blooded.]

[Vinnaka (Felinia 6): Yup, she would do well in the universe.]

While waiting the boss pulled out a knife and started to spin it in her hand for a few minutes before a knock came from the door and a man entered without waiting for permission.

"Vice-admiral Cooper, what a pleasant surprise, what can I do for you?" The boss asked as she continued to play with her knife.

[Justiceistruth: (Earth): Oh shit did she just say vice-admiral?]

[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): Shit, that's vice-admiral Richard Cooper of the Palaxia Defence Force.]

[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): He has helped capture many pirates over the years he has been stationed here on Palaxia and that helped him rise quickly to the rank of vice-admiral, rumour has it he's caught the attention some in the Imperial family and he should be promoted to full admiral soon and given a new posting.]

[Beczontop (Imperial Down): Fucking traitor.]

[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): …]

[Solarianpride11 (Solarian 4): This proves you can't trust any Terran.]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Oh little Solarian your back, I was wondering if you had stopped watching.]

[Solarianpride11 (Solarian 4): Unlike some people, I don't have time to sit around watching streams all day and have responsibilities.]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): It's called delegation little friend and something you should learn to do well if you want to progress in the Solarian hierarchy.]

[Solarianpride11 (Solarian 4): Hmph, as if I would take advice from you.]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): 🙂]

"You know very well why I'm here bonnie. My cut is half what it's supposed to be. Care to explain?" 

"Why would I bother paying you the same rate when rumour has it you're about to be promoted and leave Palaxia space? Honestly you're lucky I even gave you a cut."

[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): Streamer please make sure you're getting a recording of this as it will be vital evidence.]

[Spector Moderator: The whole conversation is being recorded and will be sent to your terminal afterwards.]

[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): Err thanks.]

[Devil_Prince_Asura (Deverinian 9): That's the streamers AI mod for you.]

"We had a mutually beneficial relationship, but now you're leaving so you don't really have anything to complain about."

"I want my cut Bonnie."

"Or what Cooper? Don't think you can threaten me, I have enough evidence to have them execute you." Bonnie replied with a gloating look.

"Damn bitch." Cooper cursed and glared at Bonnie.

Cooper and Bonnie silently glared at each other for a couple of minutes before Bonnie finally broke the silence, "I've been called worse Cooper, now fuck off and enjoy your promotion."

Cooper gave Bonnie one last glare before turning on his heel and walking out the room and slamming the door.

"Fucking moron thinking he can play me, with his promotion coming soon he has lost all usefulness to me and now I need to think about who to replace him with." Bonnie said before she got up and left the room shortly after.

Shortly after Bonnie left Adam left the cabinet and went over towards the console on her desk before placing his hand over it.

[[Evidence of communication between pirate boss Bonnie and Drotas the owner and CEO of Drotas Entertainment regarding the pirates employment to capture Diva Lorelie before eliminating her.]]

[[Final communication between the two parties was a a few hours ago, would you like to view it?]]

[Leonthemoneygiver (Earth): Oh shit he just hit the jackpot.]

[Sparesomechangebro (Earth): Did someone say jackpot? Did the streamer win the lottery? Sorry I wasn't paying attention but at least now you can send me some change bro.]

[Leonthemoneygiver (Earth): Not that sort of jackpot Changebro.]

[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): So it was Diva Lorelie's own entertainment company that tried to have her captured and even eliminated?]

[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Bastards, they should all burn.]

"No, transmit everything to Diva Lorelie's uniband." Adam instructed.

[[Affirmative.]]

[[Transfer complete]]

[[Side-stream quest complete]]

[[Multi-Stream quest reward will be upgraded upon successful completion.]]

[OfficialLorelie (Imperial Down): Thank you Spector, this will be of great use to me. Also I hope one day you will tell me your real name so that I can properly thank you.]

"Don't worry about it, but perhaps if we meet again in the future and you ask me for it I might tell you."

[OfficialLorelie (Imperial Down): I look forward to it.]

"Ok time to get out of here." Adam said as he made his way toward the door and quickly left through it.

💫💫💫

Onboard the Imperial Down Lorelie, Tessa and Becky were all sitting together in Lorelie's spacious cabin and watching Spector's stream.

The three had become good friends after the time they had spent together these few days between watching Spector's streams and making their plans.

As soon as Spector's assistant had said about transmitting the files to Lorelie her uniband made a noise to notify her that she had just received something.

Accessing her uniband she found a copy of all the correspondence between Drotas and the pirate boss Bonnie.

"Do you want us to leave while you review it all?" Tessa asked as she noticed Lorelie staring at the file the streamer had just sent her.

"No, honestly I'm slightly scared to read it all even though I know what it will contain, I could use your emotional support." Lorelie replied with weakness that would surprise her fans if they saw it.

"It's not surprising, after all you have been a part of Drotas Entertainment ever since your debut many years ago."

"Yeah don't worry Lorelie, we're here to help you now and no one will ever try to touch you again with us around." Becky boasted proudly.

"Oh and how do you plan to stay with her all the time when you have work?" Tessa asked with amusement.

"I will resign my commission and become her bodyguard." Becky replied confidently.

"While that's all very noble, have you considered what your father and grandfather will say when they find out?" Tessa teased.

"Oh shit you're right, they would kill me before letting me resign." Becky said with realisation.

Lorelie laughed before saying, "while I appreciate the thought I don't think I need your constant protection."

"Rubbish, with what's about to happen you need protection in case they make a move against you in retaliation." Becky replied.

"Becky's right. While she can't be your bodyguard I do know someone capable that can fill the role and will talk to her about it later." Tessa said.
