The Village had been the center of commerce in the Alpha Quadrant. Admiral Tim Veltkamp had put together a place of business that would have rivalled any hub in any area in space.
It is true enough that the cities were transferred with the amazing Sparta Transfer to Outpost 395 in the Beta Quadrant but the horrible Vulcan Invasion has slowed business big time. Many corporations have left. The city too has suffered greatly because the water in the River Covington on Outpost 395 is not the crystal clear water of Outpost 294. The water here is much different.
Everyone wanted the crystal blue water to return to the city. Acrylos was among them. He had been to the poles here to install the Typhon Engines but he has never been able to bring the water down in the volume necessary to fill the River Covington...
Until now...
Acrylos stood at the mouth of the River Covington near Jersey City. He called Hyla on the combadge.
"Mrs. Teero, if you please.", Acrylos smiled.
Acrylos laughed like a little boy for the first time on Outpost 395. He pumped his fist in the air as the beautiful blue ice water of the poles filled the River Covington.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Phoenix Colony, I give you fresh water.", Acrylos screamed.
Hyla and Laaker had not seen him this happy in a long time as they ran up to him.
Acrylos picked some up in his hands and pushed it to his face, "Fresh water."
Hyla looked at him, "You are amazing."
Acrylos stood up, "You can't keep a good Teero down. Not even Vulcans, a renegade Federation or even the prophets themselves."
