The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3813

Chapter 3813 Making the List

The Larkinsons maintained an extensive and detailed personnel database. This was pretty much standard practice among many organizations.

None of them wanted to lose track of their own people. That would be stupid and potentially dangerous as the ones they neglected might turn into spies or saboteurs without their notice!

Keeping track of people's movements, actions and other parameters was much easier when they spent most if not all of their time aboard starships that were fully under the control of the respective organization.

The Larkinson Clan recorded more information about its people than normal. Its patriarch was a bit paranoid and valued his ships. The outbreak of the Crown Uprising had spooked him quite a lot, causing him to push for greater monitoring and tracking.

An entire department existed within the clan that primarily busied itself with checking up on and managing over 200,000 clansmen. Though each of them were relatively free to make their own life choices, the Internal Affairs Ministry regularly nudged or advised those that were feeling lost or out of place in the Larkinson fleet.

If Gloriana wanted to get started on forming a list of suitors for her brother, she could just call the Internal Affairs Ministry and ask to run the matchmaking software on its entire database.

She had a better alternative in mind, though.

Although Internal Affairs did collect a lot of details about the lives of every clansman, she happened to know about another wing of the Larkinson Clan that collected even more data!

"I need to make a call." She told Brutus and passed over her daughter to his care. "Look after my baby for me while I get that list I promised."

She raised herself to her feet and stepped away so she could speak to one of the more annoying women in the Larkinson Clan.

Though she did not like to talk to the woman in question, Gloriana had to admit there was no one else who knew the Larkinsons better.

After she fought over her hesitation, she made the command and initiated the call.

A small bust projection of Calabast soon appeared above her suited wrist.

Calabast looked as attractive and dangerous as ever. Her luscious black hair and her fully-equipped infiltrator suit gave her an impression of a woman who knew what she was doing.

The spymaster of the Larkinson Clan would have been a model Hexer if she didn't renounce her original citizenship!

"Gloriana." Calabast spoke without much pretense for politeness. "It is rare for you to approach me on your own initiative. What is it now? Do you want logs of the women that Ves has spent time with the last month? Do you want to download footage of him in the bathroom?"

"None of that today. I am calling because I need the help of your Black Cats in finding a future wife for my brother Brutus. This needs to be done quickly before we run out of time."

"Oh? This sounds interesting. Please explain his situation to me. I take it that this is not a regular request."

Gloriana straightforwardly summarized her brother's predicament and the need to get married quickly.

Calabast didn't laugh, fortunately. She did look amused.

"The boy has finally decided to grow into a man. Bravo. I expected him and the Glory Seekers to diverge from the culture that we all grew up in, but his translation has reached this stage a lot faster than I expected. What a pleasant surprise. Your news has already made my day."

As a former Hexer, Calabast had first-hand experience in transitioning from a typical Hexer to a more reasonable human being that was more aligned to galactic norms and standards.

She applauded any other Hexer that managed to climb out of the pit of ignorance and hatred that was formed by the poisonous culture they grew up with. It was not easy for the Hexers to renounce all of the fundamental teachings they embraced as truth.

"Will you meet my request or not?" Gloriana asked in an irritated tone.

"I will. Don't be so impatient. I will cooperate to the best of my abilities. In my opinion, Venerable Brutus deserves a reward for making a brave decision. His success will serve as an example and an inspiration to the rest of the Glory Seekers!"

As a former Hexer and a spymaster, how could Calabast possibly be ignorant of the developments taking place within the Glory Seekers?

Although the mech force was nominally a part of the Wodin Dynasty and the Hexadric Hegemony, both of these organizations had become increasingly more distant entities to all of the boys and women serving aboard the Indigo Tremor and sister ships.

Due to the strength and prominence of the Larkinson Clan, the Glory Seekers constantly witnessed and came into contact with people who were having a much better time in the expeditionary fleet. This persistent exposure exerted a constant influence on those that had previously lived highly insular lives.

Though few of them had taken the crucial step like Venerable Brutus, it was only a matter of time before the estrangement grew too great.

If the Hexers back home were more aware of how people changed when exposed to different environments and cultures, they would have implemented more measures to prevent the Glory Seekers from straying from their culture.

It was too bad that the people in charge were so conceited about their superiority and so inexperienced with cultural assimilation that they completely missed what was happening!
