Chapter 175
Daelan
I look at the documents on my computer screen.
Morne is a large megacorp. Hotels. Auctions. Grocery chains. Real estate. Equipment. Everything. There are over thirty thousand employees. As much as my father-in-law wants to, we can't take them all.
Because for every employee chosen, they can bring a maximum of four other people of their choice. Family. Lovers. Dependents. So the positions are extremely limited.
The criteria are brutal.
First: long-standing employees. Loyalty matters. People who have bled for Morne deserve to survive.
Second: character. I don't want a self-righteous person who will spill the beans to the media. But they shouldn't be too evil either. No murderers. No abusers. No one who will cause problems on the ship. They should have strong relationships—family, lovers, children. People who will keep them grounded. People who will make them want to survive.
