* (Just so no one gets confused who this group of anarchists on the new planet are, they are anarcho-capitalists. They differ from the Foundation as a whole only in believing in no government instead of tiny government.)

The Starliner and Mystery Project Alpha

"The project Alpha is being coordinated and launched at an undisclosed location to the public or to other Groups. We have made preparations at great cost."

"Don't tell any members of my group the location yet, I will bring them there. Otherwise some members who are undoubtedly spies will hear of it. Plus, only a few hundred of our best members are coming."

"The Control Alliance will have its ship, good Citizen, and no one except FFCC will know about it. They might trace any extreme financial activities, if you had to borrow heavily."

"Well, we are rather tired of the Foundation, if the rest of our members work hard, they will be able to afford a colony of our own, until then we will make use of our ship."

"The FFCC welcomes your business, the present and future."

Zelleck was preparing for his full work duties on the new Freedom, the first FFCC Luxury class starliner.

The Captain arrived at Zelleck's quarters in the Starliner center. He prefered the informal name Zon and kept a lighthearted demeanor, important for a luxurious passenger ship. "Time to be ready, Zelleck. I'm sure you will be ready for the warehousing, never known anyone so young, yet so skilled in the art."

Improved storage techniques gave Freedom extra room for fuel supplies instead of cargo.
