Business is business

Erebos sat at his desk which was in the middle of his office which was only part of his own private floor on the Zuguruk station that was almost finished over Csilla. Behind him was a large viewport that showed a wonderful view of the inner ring of the station. In front of him on his desk was a trio of small pure metal orbs that floated lazily in a circle around one another above the desk itself. In Erebos's hands was a datapad which he was scrolling through, a list of materials needed to be order and orders the company had gotten since it opened up it's products to the general market, along with an offer for custom jobs if some materials were provided and payment was good.
"Mister Zebron, there is a... trandoshian here to see you. He says his name is [member="Vinskk Revamp"], shall I let him in?" A receptionists voice sounded out, causing the metal balls to dip a little as their controllers concentration fluctuated a little but soon continued as they were. "If he's here on non-market business let him in otherwise tell him to talk to a sale's representative or something." Erebos replied with little interest as his faceless mask turned to look at the comlink integrated into the table to serve that exact purpose and to make calls should he need to.
'What is a Trandoshian doing here and why is he wanting to speak to me?' He thought as he finished skimming over the datapads contents and then placed it to the side on top of the table. Standing up and beginning a slow walk towards the doors leading out of his office he waved his hand to open them, revealing a long corridor that ended in the elevator were his visitor would arrive in from. Behind him the metal balls still kept spinning lazily in the air over the table.
If there was one thing Erebos was now, it was curious. For one thing it would be the first trandoshian he'd ever meet and secondly he had a hunch that this meeting would prove an interesting one, if not a stimulating one. If the trandoshian tried anything then the cross-guarded lightsaber at his hip would simply take care of that and he could go straight back to work after wards.
 
The elevator doors opened slowly. A large-framed, tall Trandoshan took up most of the doorway, ducking down slightly to avoid hitting his head as he stepped out into the hallway. Vinskk Revamp was dressed in the manner befitting of his status: a white robe covered his body while a blood-red silk cape draped his broad shoulders. A golden circlet sat on his head as well, declaring his royal status as the King of Trandosha. The lizard looked around, slightly unimpressed by the lack of ceremony or decorations to welcome him as he stepped forward. Revamp was followed by a buxom Zeltron, her pink skin showing all too well in the skintight leather top and miniskirt the alien was in. Red lips, striking blue eyes and a pert nose all but oozed beauty and seduction. Her tall heels clicked steadily behind the large King. A lightsaber swung lazily at her hip, which would ignite into a blinding red blade if need be. The final guests entering the passageway were muscle of various species, from Gamoarrian to Nikto to Rodian, numbering about 15 in total, all armed to the teeth. They slowly but steadily trailed behind Vinskk as well, making sure no harm would come to him as he walked towards the masked man.

Revamp reached Erebos after several seconds, the Zeltron standing right next to him and his entourage of security behind him. Maintaining a distance of several feet, the King boomed out, in a slithering voice:

"Vinskk Revamp, King of Trandosha, leader of organizations that's names shall not be spoken of in public. I take it you are this...Erebos I am to speak with."

As if on cue, the pink alien went from Vinskk's side to next to Erebos, her finger running across his armor teasingly, a white nail coyly scratching his chest plate as she spoke, her voice a seductive ooze of sensuality.

"My, my, aren't we a tall glass of water? Why the mask, mysterious stranger? Let's see that handsome face."

The Trandoshan shook his head in contempt, snorting underneath his breath.

"My Lady, refrain yourself."

With a sigh, the Zeltron backed away, her face in a pout as she sauntered back to Vinskk's side, tone slow and dramatic.

"I'm just curious, Your Majesty. You never let me talk to anyone. So...protective. Or is it jealously?"

Revamp ignored that comment and spoke on, directing his attention to Erebos again.

"Forgive Lady Veltraas. She is quite...flirtatious. Now, then. I hope you do not mind the large amount of security I have brought. A recent attack has brought attention to flaws in my protection. Quite a devastating one, if I may add, which I must admit, is part of the reason I am visiting you today. I was told that you procure top of the line droids and spacecraft. That might be just what I need. We shall see."

Revamp glanced into the businessman's office, almost beckoning Erebos to bring the discussion into his spacious workspace. The Trandoshan stood there, towering over everyone in the area as Veltraas draped herself on his side, staring at the Sith cooly with curiosity as the two waited for his response.

[member="Darth Erebos"]
 
Erebos had to admit that [member="Vinskk Revamp"]'s security seemed quite excessive when they came out of the elevator, though the Zeltron was pleasing to the eye... one needed eyes to fully appreciate her looks. As the Trandoshian came up to him, he finally got why this man wanted to speak to him in person, the nuances of royalty Erebos supposed. When asked if he was Erebos he nodded respectfully to Vinskk, then the Zeltron spoke and came closer, he simply turned his head to make it appear he was looking at her, internally sighing a sigh of relief when she was called back. It wasn't that he was unused to women, he was just unused to Zeltron women as he had heard of their reputation.
Erebos listened silently to Vinskk as he spoke and even smirked a little under his mask with the banter between the two of them. Then when he noticed Vinskk glance into his office he made an after you gesture and walked besides the king as they entered the office. As they approached Erebos's desk two large comfortable chairs rose from the ground in front of it to accommodate Vinskk and the zeltron. "Once this meeting begins the doors will be closed so if you wish for any of your security to stay inside tell them to do so now, your majesty." He then said but his tone was respectful, his voice distorted through the mask, making it seem deeper and quite inhuman with it's vocal filters.
With a gesture befitting a gracious host he offered them to sit down first before he took a seat himself, once he did the doors closed leaving any security left outside behind the closed doors. Moving his hands up he removed his mask and placed it next to him as he then combed his white hair back, showing the blindfold around his eyes quite well. "Now then let's speak face to face shall we. What is it that you are looking for exactly?" He said with a polite smile adorning his lips though his tone was calm and showed respect.
Behind them a few droids were working on setting up one of the many communications array's on the station, though this one was for the private use of Erebos.
 
Vinskk gestured for the remaining security to remain outside the office as he and Lady Veltraas stepped in. While the Zeltron took a seat, stretching comfortably across the leather chair, the Trandoshan stood there stoically, looking on as the Sith removed his mask, revealing his blindfolded eyes. Veltraas raised a groomed eyebrow in suprise.

"Well, that was unexpected."

Vinskk gave a sharp look to his bodyguard and shook his head. The King spoke again, his voice blunt and straightforward.

"I have been told of your skill with droids. I would like for you to build me an assassin droid. Sleek, able to blend in, deadly. Preferably one that has an additional function, like translation or what have you, for additional infiltration. I am ready to discuss the details now."

The King looked at the blind man sitting at his desk, waiting to be impressed.

[member="Darth Erebos"]
 
Erebos leaned back into his chair and placed one hand over his chin a little. "Well the fact your body guard is carrying a lightsaber and able to use the force tells me your a man of many means. But what you are describing to me is something similar to an assassin droid that can double as a protocol droid for use in infiltration." He said as he turned his head to appear looking straight into [member="Vinskk Revamp"]'s eyes. The metal balls floating over the desk began to spin slightly faster as they mimicked how fast Erebos's mind was working at the moment. With his other hand he placed a finger on the desk and above the desk an open hologram that would be used as a design board for the droid, under the window were lists of parts and systems that he could put into the droid.
However the way [member="Vinskk Revamp"] simply stood there made Erebos's body tense up in readiness on instinct.
 
Revamp nodded slowly, his reptilian eyes boring into the blindfold.

"You are correct. I am a being of many means. Obviously, I can pay for whatever is necessary."

Veltraas purred a little, flattered by the compliment.

"I like this one. He's good with his compliments, Your Majesty."

Vinskk ignored her again, choosing to instead focus on the holographic desk. What was about to be designed would be heavily scrutinized by the Trandoshan's gaze.

[member="Darth Erebos"]
 
Erebos gestured towards the holographic desk. "So tell me, what systems are you looking for as well as any materials you favor?" He asked before he gave the Zeltron a slight mischievous smirk, as if he knew something she didn't. With a few hand gestures Erebos would bring up the systems and materials [member="Vinskk Revamp"] would tell him he wanted into the droid, from there he would begin the base shape of such a droid.
 
Revamp remained standing in his exact location, not moving closer to the desk. He preferred an amount of space between himself and Humans. Instead he pointed a sharp talon at the hologram and spoke, voice clear and directive.

"Something sleek, yet functional. Perhaps with hidden compartments for weapons. Blasters, flamethrowers, dart launchers, anything necessary to eliminate a target. But I still want it to blend in and remain functional for it's primary function: infiltration."

Veltraas shook her head sadly, with an overexaggerated pout as she spoke dramatically, almost theatrically.

"Oh, what am I even here for?! I can kill a man and do a little extra for you, too! You don't need some droid. What can a droid do better than me?"

The King spoke quickly, ending the argument.

"Droids do not make mistakes."

The Zeltron shook her head and sighed while the Trandoshan looked on at Erebos.

[member="Darth Erebos"]
 
Erebos punched in all the relevant systems up on the holo display, even made a relatively simple chassis around the droid. Erebos could feel [member="Vinskk Revamp"]'s seeming disdain for humans and he turned his head towards him. "If you are thinking that I am simply a blind human then you are wrong. I am a miralukan and Sephir mixed-breed, the only thing about me that is only remotely human in any shape is my appearance but to see differences you only have to look at my eyes and ears." He then said as he showed obvious signs that he didn't read his mind or even had the capabilities, instead he could feel it waft off him in waves.
It had made his feel a little uncomfortable, he was used to hostility for being a sith but not such a feeling due to his looks. In the left forearm of the droid was installed a flamethrower and in the right a mixture of dart launchers and wrist blasters. In the main chest body was space for a dual power cell to increase it's operation time by twice the normal amount as well as a shield generator to protect the droid from the initial volley's of harm. The alloy used for the chassis wouldn't be the normal durasteel but instead it would be alusteel which was much tougher than durasteel and would allow for a longer living droid in extreme combat situations. "However back on the matter of the droid, advanced servo motors would off set the slightly heavier chassis metal as well as provide better mobility over other similar droid lines."
He had to wonder though what Veltraas was to Vinskk and what this apparent hostility between them was about as well.
