Subject: Rolling holo-cams

The holo-cams rolled as a strange looking alien floated in front of it. The alien was skinny, with very long arms. He was a dark "forest" green, and had many different shaped spots around him (mostly black and brown in color). His face was bony, with two large eyes near it's center. Large "ears" (if they can be called that...they were more like craters with ridges in them.) took up a lot of what made the side of his face. He sat in a "UFO" shaped device, that hovered around, which served as his "legs" since he had lost the use of them in a horrible docking bay accident. He had refused cybernetic replacements, as this device was more "fun". The funny looking alien bounced around in front of the holo-cams as he began to speak....

"Friday, Friday, FRIDAY!!! is the end of our sale on our new and used space craft! You wouldn't believe the selection or the savings! You don't want to miss this sale! It's a once in a life time event, and it's only here at SBR's building yard! We've got this new, Star Voyager for 18,999 credits! You can't beat that anywhere in the galaxy! And how bout this wonderful Pinto 3000! Only 8,953, what a steal! watch out for the exploding manafold I MUST be CRAZY, cause I'm practically GIVING away these ships! But you gotta HURRY, cause the sale ends FRIDAY!"

".......and we're done, thanks a lot Beevil" the director of the commercial said to the alien.

"Finally...now I can get back to running this crazy place. Oy..."

The alien was Beevil Sanguinarian, the being in charge of the building yard. He had a nack for business, and that would be why he was hand picked by Howitzer to run one of SBR's prime resources. Beevil took a right turn down a large corridor. The walls were clear, and you could see out into the yard. Many small ships were being built...but the greatest ship ever to be under taken in SBR history was the draw of anyone who walked by. The SP Boardhopper Mach II was being constructed. Right now, it was just a skeleton, but what a large skeleton is was! It was already longer then the Building yard, it was just under 2 times the size of the original flagship. The Captain was not expending anything in this project, he knew how much the moral would be helped with a new, and better flagship up and running. Beevil made it to the end of the corridor and entered his office.
