James Justice
Charting new Paths
James strode across the hall to the luxury lounge. In a rare moment, James was more concerned with work than pleasure. His gate was long and choppy as he ate the ground between him and his destination in a third of the normal time. He strode through the doors and burst in. Sitting on one of the plush red leather couches was Tony, one of the best weapon, ship, and speeder designers that money could buy. The spacer had hired her on a number of works, almost keeping her on an exclusive payroll.
"What the fething hell do you mean you haven't got it completed?" the spacer roared angrily.
"Well hello to you too," Tony said, never loosing her cold disposition.
James grabbed a glass bottle and hurled it across the room, shattering it on impact, "What have you done with the millions I sent you? Sat on your hands?"
"I need more money," she said simply, "or the research will not be complete and you will either be flying a half finished ship or the design will be far less than you ordered. Its that simple."
"And what the hell have you been doing with the money, huh? Shooting up on spice?"
"For information, Justice, R and D isn't as simple as pointing a rifle and pulling the trigger, its extremely complex," she half-snarled.
