Chapter 272 Naming Your Ship And Company
True to their word, they got the hydroponics room fixed up within a day.
In fact, it only took them half a day.
They also paid out one point five million Credits as compensation for the mistake that they made.
Not as much as we asked for but I would say that it was better than the initial five hundred thousand Credits they initially only wanted to pay.
While they were working on the room, we also did our own final inspection of the ship to make sure everything was perfect just in case we missed out on anything.
Thankfully, there were no other problems so I could say we could finally say that we have a new ship.
I powered down my Verlandi as I docked it in one of the hangars, pushing myself off the pilot seat to move out of the cockpit of the ship.
In the corridor, I found Lea waiting for me with several of our stuff all packed up and ready to move to our new ship. Ries didn't really have a lot of stuff to begin with so we could help her move them while she stayed on our new ship.
Amber also left most of her own belongings on her own ship so she would be moving them from there while the few items she left on my Verlandi could be moved by Lea and myself.
As for Lea's hydroponics garden, she's planning to harvest the potatoes first and then build up the new hydroponics garden before moving it to the new ship permanently.
"Ready?" I asked, eyeing the boxes that contained our stuff floating on the hoverboard ready to be moved.
"Of course, Mistress. Shall we?"
I nodded and activated the ramp for it to lower into our new ship's hangar bay.
Amber was, as usual, already waiting for me outside with nothing but a small bag that had all of her stuff packed in it.
"Welcome on board to your new ship, Captain!" She greeted me cheekily while shooting me a mischievous grin.
I rolled my eyes at her, "Yes, yes. Let's drop off our stuff and we can get ready to set off on this ship's maiden voyage. Let's all meet up at the bridge."
The three of us left the hangar and walked through the cargo bay.
It was only now that it really dawned on me that I actually got myself a C Class Ship.
Compared to the Verlandi that I had grown accustomed to, this ship was huge.
I could get used to the Verlandi since the amount of space it had was comparable to my home in my old universe. But for this ship... It felt like I just moved into a mansion...
Funny to think that this was the thing that actually made me realise the position I'm in right now.
We stopped by the security checkpoint to store the extra weapons that we had been keeping as backup weapons in the armoury before we split up to our own rooms to drop off our own stuff.
I didn't have a lot of stuff either so I just left the box that had my stuff in them near the door before making my way to the bridge.
Ries was already there but Lea and Amber weren't there yet so I assume that they were still arranging their stuff.
"Boss! Welcome back!" Ries greeted me cheerfully.
"Hello Ries. Is everything ready?"
"Yep! Everything is ready, Boss. We're just waiting for your order!"
"Let's wait for Lea and Amber."
Just as those words left my lips, the door slid open and the final two members of our crew entered the bridge.
Amber shivered, "Oohh~ I like that~ The Iridescence. That has a nice ring to it! And you say that you're bad with names!"
"I only got that idea thanks to your suggestion though. Even though I'm someone from a different universe, Amber is a human, Lea is an Alv and Ries is a Maochatte, we still found ourselves in this very same company."
Lea nodded, "I like the name as well, Mistress."

Ries also nodded enthusiastically, "That's a good name, Boss! I really like it!"
"What about the company name?" Amber asked.
Ahh... That's another problem isn't it...
"What about just calling it the 'Iridescent Mercenaries' as well?" Ries suggested.
Amber stuck out her tongue ,"Nah... That wouldn't work... We should have something different for each one."
I scratched my head and tried to think of one as well but nothing came to mind.
Lea suddenly turned to me, "How about... 'Teran Mercenary Company'. But the 'Teran' is spelt with only one 'R'? After all... Mistress actually comes from Terra, which I believe is another name for Earth?"
Amber gasped, "Ohhh! I like that little word play there! I like that!"
Ries also agreed, "I think that's nice too. What do you think, Boss?"
I mean... I honestly feel that's a little embarrassing but three of them already basically voted for the idea.
And if I was honest... I kind of like the idea myself...
"Alright... Let's go with that," I relented.
"Yeahhhh! Teran Mercenary Company is in business! Let's officialise it right now!" Amber cheered.
As though they had already prepared this beforehand, Amber and Ries started tapping on their personal terminals quickly to complete the applications for both the new ship names and our Mercenary company.
And to confirm that it was actually the case, a notification popped up showing that there would be someone from the shipyard coming down to paint the new names on not only The Iridescence, but also my old ship.
I guess they must have already planned this yesterday.
"And done! Teran Mercenary Company is officially live!" Amber announced.
Wow... That easy huh.
I was just about to ask what we could do now as a Mercenary Company when my Codex started beeping from receiving a call.
When I lifted up my wrist to check, I realised it was Linc himself that was calling me.
Eh? What does he want? Don't tell me it's something related to Deidre or Midori?
I tapped on the answer button, prompting a holographic screen to pop out to show Linc smiling at me.
"Tera! My current favourite Merc! Congratulations on setting up your Mercenary Company! Err... What's the name of it... Teran Mercenary Company? Ahahaha~ Very nice! Isn't it nice, Midori?
Yes, it's very nice!"
What the fuck? How the hell did he find out so fast?!
