A Last Attempt

[Alli Vern]

@Torill Holgor

Alli Wren was here on the planet Morellia trying to get any sort of deal with the republic going at this point. It seemed that the Omega Protectorate really didn't like her and had pushed others to as well. Well here she was hoping to push some sort of deals herself. She waited in the conference room, curious what man would make her wait. She was the Droid Queen after all, it was usually her that made others wait. It was strange being on the other side yet it was clear, her standing in the galaxy had dropped quite a few pegs and she needed to get back on her feet. Hopefully this was one of those ways to do just that. Sure she could keep small contracts going but she needed the might of the republic behind her again.

Torill walked through the halls of the Government building where he maintained an office. As he passed one of the Morellian Enforcers they stopped him to let him know he had a visitor a Alli Wren. Torill instantly recognizing the name frowned both at the unexpected guest and at the reputation he had heard about this particular guest.

Heading there Torill stepped into the office with a polite smile.

"Ms. Wren apologies for the wait I was not aware we had a meeting." "I only arrived back to Morellia this morning." "What can I do for you?"

Torill took a seat behind his desk hitting a button.

"Can you please page [member="Kelisea Neevek"] and bring some tea."

Turning back to Alli Torill smiled softly waiting to here what had brought her to his office.

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli smiled and spoke. " It is ok, I do suppose I gave little warning to my arrival." She sighed and continued her smile trying to seem in a better mood than she was. " I was hoping that I could convince you to help convince the republic to buy my arms, or at least look at me with not such a bad light." She wondered what he thought about that. " I have numerous facilities within republic space that can build any ship you need as well as some factories that can produce other goods. I had been supporting the republic, mainly the GIA until recently. " She said waiting for a response now, hoping that he was at least up for the idea.

Kalisea entered carrying a tray with some tea on it and two cups setting it on the desk between Torill and his guest turning to Torill with a frown.

"You do realize I am not a servant girl." "Next time how about you get your own tea."

Wearing a semi-form fitting business suit made from the highest quality fabrics in a mix of medium color tones slipped in behind Torill slapping his shoulder and rolling hers eyes before focusing here attention on the new guest with a smile

"Well hello there."

To Torill..............

"Why Mr. Holgor did you bring me a new friend to play with you shouldn't have."

Kalisea winked at Alli.

Torill looked at Alli with a soft smile and a nod.

"I am aware of your predicament Ms. Wren." "It seems you have no shortage of enemies within the Republic specifically the Senate." "I am not going to pretend to know the details or even the broad strokes of the history between you and the Republic."

Torill paused looking up as Kali entered the room his face and body language void of reaction to her quips simply responding calmly.

"I asked my assistant to bring the tea and to request your presence not to have you bring the tea."

When Kali mentioned Alli Torill looked over his shoulder up at her.

"Behave yourself around our guest please this is not a social visit." "Ms. Wren this is my associate Kalisea Neevek, Kalisea Ms. Alli Wren of Baktoid Industrial Systems."

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli winked right back at Kalisea. It wasn't everyday someone was so forward in a business meeting but she was used to it having done it before. " It is no trouble, but yes I find it strange to find nothing but enemies where once I had only friends. So I was wondering where do you lie in all of this?" She asked curious and hoping he would say friend of course it would have to be a bit more subtle than she would like. " I also hope you accept this gift I brought for you." She referenced the wrapped bottle of rare wine on the table.

She couldn't help but eye both of them, searching more than just how good they looked she searched them to see what sort of people they were. She sent a search on the newcomer based on her name via the implant in her mind, searching to see if there was anything to note about the necomer After all it paid to be informed. She was very curious about [member="Kelisea Neevek"] and by extension [member="Torill Holgor"]

Torill looked at Alli with a nod.

"Galactic politics is a very fickle thing." "One day your are friend the next a mortal enemy to be exterminated." "The last person to mention your name is looking at on the mild side public censorship and the major private side possible charges of Treason."

Torill paused choosing his words carefully.

"Has far as where I lie in all this I am a person who likes to have more than rumors to base my opinions on." "That being said I have to consider................."

Torill was interrupted by his assistant's voice at the reception desk outside.

"Sorry for the interruption Sir but your immediate presence is required at the Palace."

Torill looked at the comm unit for a moment before addressing Alli has he stood.

"My apologies Ms. Wren for the interruption but it seems I will have to cut this short for now." "Ms. Neevek will attend to your needs for the duration of your stay."

Torill looked at Kalisea for a long moment not saying a word before turning and heading out the door.

Kalisea smiled a wicked little grin as Alli winked back before watching them begin the dance of diplomacy and business. Kali looked at her nails and lightly tapped on the back of Torill's chair until the speaker went off about a meeting at the palace.

Kali rolled her eyes at it truly bored with politics until Torill stood and looked at her returning the look as if having a conversation without words. Once the door closed Kali plopped down in Torill's chair rolling her eyes.

"Men and their meetings, their squabbling over power." "Just makes a girl want to eat a blaster doesn't it."

Leaning forward Kali grabbed the bottle of wine brought by Alli.

"He doesn't drink alcohol...............part of some whole clean body clean mind type of nonsense." "I however do."

Looking at the vintage Kali beamed.

"Oooooo nice you certainly know how to treat a lady well I think you and I are going to get along great." "What do you say we pop this bad boy open and you tell me more about this Baktoid Industrial Systems."

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli laughed " Well then lets enjoy it, his loss. " She had nodded in agreement with the woman. " Well I was hoping that I would get along with someone here. Well Baktoid Industrial Systems has supplied the jedi, CIS now ASA and other factions over time as they rise and fall. We mine and produce : Starships, droids and personal arms. We also do a great deal of custom orders, several of the ships we have worked on have been one of a kind. We also treat our customers quite well as you can see."

Alli couldn't help but let her eyes roam over the woman in front of her but she moved back to her eyes. "Well open it up, I for one am thirsty." She said with a giggle.

[member="Alli Wren"]

Kelisea looked at Alli with a small smile has she opened the bottle and poured them both a drink.

"Don't play coy with me Wren." "A toddler could have gotten that with a simple Holonet search." "If you want to play games I can think of a much more........................ pleasurable place than this stuffy old office to play them."

Kelisea leans back sipping the wine.

"You seem to have lost a few steps so to speak if you are that hard up to get a contract with a group that would rather see a noose around that pretty little neck of yours." "It would be a shame to lose such a lovely little morsel." "That or you really like giving authority the finger." "Personally I like to think it is option two."

Kelisea pauses.

"Now that puts you at an impasse." "Torill cares only about the people of Morellia and could give two flips about the Republic and whatever issues they have with you." "Morellia is a low tech backwoods planet." "Even more dire the whole fethin' species is extinct, there is only been one known full blooded Morellian in more than a century."

"Morellia needs the Republic so Torill needs the Republic." "So that means unless you can clear your name Torill can't be seen dealing with you lest he risks the future of Morellia."

Kelisea smiles.

"I however am a neutral third party with an idea." "You sign a contract with Morellia, with me, and the Republic never needs to know." "Of course when the Republic get's around to requesting as they like to put it, but we both no is more of a demand, Morellia would be glad to provide them with what we have." "For a modest fee of course."

Kelisea sips her wine.

"Of course I expect to get something out of the deal for myself." "After all a girl doesn't work for free."

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli wren gave a smile back to Kelisea, she was unique and well Alli hoped that business drew them together more than this once. Well I would step down but I don't like the idea of anyone blaming me and chasing me from my position, so if people want to deal with Baktoid they have to accept it's CEO. So I think your deal is certainly acceptable, and I would love a better place to work out the details of this deal. "

Alli smile taking a long draw of her wine and leaning forward so the cleavage that her dress was exposed as she set it down. " So what does a girl like you work for then?" She asked giving a sly grin to Kelisea. " I was hoping to stay here for a few days and make a vacation out of it, you know make this trip a bit more believable, you wouldn't happen to know a place to stay or anything to do would you?"

Kelisea enjoyed the view for a moment before looking up again.

"I never mix business with pleasure..................... at least not on the same day." "Why don't you put your inventory where your mouth is." "That way we can settle up before going on a tour of the absolutely nothing Morellia has to offer." "Nobody vacations in this dump but to each their own I guess."

Kelisea smiled.

"So all dressed up and nowhere to stay." "What a shame that would be." "I am sure I can find somewhere to keep you warm at night."

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli Wren
"Well you will find that this datapad has most of my things, not counting the arms I can supply you from blastech or czerka through the deals I have with them. Of course I make things to order and my subsidiaries have various products but I have yet to add them to my catalog."
Alli slid a http://starwarsrp.net/topic/19343-baktoid-industrial-systems-demo-page/] Datapad[/url] towards Kelisea. I hoped someone would know a place I could keep warm. and I would love a tour, even if there is nothing to offer, I am sure we can find something to do to pass the time. "

Kelisea flips through the in formation on the datapad before setting it back down.

"Oh I get it you are screwing with me." "This is some sort of practical joke." "Any minute now you are going to snicker and show me the real inventory."

Kelisea sips her wine tapping the desk in front of the pad.

"That would not even stand up to pirates." "I would seriously hope you do not think those are the tools of a Galactic War." "Half that stuff only a droid could use effectively or even at all." "Do I look like a droid to you?" "Have you been to the Republic capital?" "Is it populated by droids?"

 

[Alli Vern]

"Well what are you looking for miss too good for my catalog? I assume you want something particular to be so dismissive. "

Alli sipped her own wine, eying [member="Kelisea Neevek"] curiously. What was she up to, she had several things perfectly useful for humans. She sighed and couldn't help but stare at the woman before her once more. She was delightful and not afraid to speak her mind , oh what did Alli get her self into. She had assumed that this would be going better. " Well there is some things not on the catalog, such as the Watts class Heavy Crusier and various other technologies but I am not sure what you are looking for. "

 

[Kelisea Neevek]

[member="Alli Wren"]

Kelisea maintained the same expression not flinching in the slightest.

"Me personally I want sugar and spice and everything nice." "To make a Hutt's load of credits and to do so while looking absolutely fabulous."

"Let me put it to you this way then if it will be better." "What do you have to offer that can't be gotten from a dozen other companies that isn't considered an enemy of the Republic?" "What makes you a competitive option for us?"

"In the end it is about what is needed to win a war." "And not just for today or tomorrow but to win in such a manner as to ensure no one will ever want to try and wage war against us again."

 

[Alli Vern]

"To be honest, I make mostly one of a kind ships or ships that are of a special nature. Like Watts Class Heavy Crusier or Liberator. I make to order, I provide solutions and unique high end technology. The Watts class is a Heavy Crusier with the guns of a star destroyer, the Liberator won't be seen if it doesn't want to be. I am building a 4000m x4000m x 4000m station, not to mention my stations that most likely still are at your borders, and my holonet satelites that still provide you with your holonet. I provide solutions, You want a droid that does something unique mass produced, done. You want a station or a ship or a gun or anything that fits a need consider it done. You want something any old hack can make, then count me out. My grenades kill force users, my tanks let you use droid or human armies. Hell I make a control unit you can install in your human driven tanks to replace the crew. I use to supply the entire Jedi order with it's supplies. I have implants that let your brain talk directly to computers, and some of the fastest fighters in the galaxy. If that isn't good enough fo you [member="Kelisea Neevek"] then I am afraid nothing is."

 

[Kelisea Neevek]

[member="Alli Wren"]

"You want a billion credit contract with a Republic that doesn't trust you on a made to order basis with nothing to show them?" "This Watts Class Heavy Cruiser was not in the list you gave me a few minutes ago, neither was the Liberator." "Like I said your real inventory Ms. Wren that is what I would like to see not a holonet sound bite to appease your shareholders."

Kelisea pauses

"It seems you have forgotten Ms. Wren the Republic doesn't exactly use droids to fight it's battle and only resorts to tech implants to preserve life..................." "...........unless I missed something."

"Why don't I make it easy for you Ms. Wren." "I want to see what you have to offer armor wise in light. medium, and heavy versions with maximum protection." "While there I want to see the same in blaster rifles, pistols, and some hand to hand variations."


Kelisea sips her wine.

"If you can provide satisfactory options in those two areas then we can talk about the ships." "Beside most Morellians can't fly worth poodoo in anything larger than a snub fighter."
