Dear Ms. Wren

Ms. Wren,

We met a couple of times when we were both thinking of investing in Hekler'kok. I've had the chance to see your Naga starfighter in action, and I'm now finding myself in a position where I'm interested in procurement. I'd like to meet with you or one of your representatives, wherever works best for you, and take a shot at hammering out some sort of a deal. Baktoid's got a lot that interests the people I work for, so let's sit down and see where we can get with this.

Captain J.Q. Merrill

He very carefully did not mention the time he'd arrested her on Corellia at her own wedding. No point in bringing that up.

 

[Alli Vern]

Ashley forwarded the address of the current makeshift headquarters on Wren'goa Station.

Mr. Merrill

Miss Wren is tied up in litigation right now and so I will be handling any business deals. If you would come to the coordinates I sent I would be more than happy to work up a deal with you however. I hope this finds you well.

Ashley,
Acting CEO of Baktoid Industries.

Ms. Ashley,

Thanks for your response. Wren'goa Station off Hypori is in the Confederate heartland, and due to some incidents between me and the Confederacy there may be some security problems if I meet you there. I'd hate to bring trouble to you and yours by accident. Would it be feasible to meet you at another Baktoid-controlled location, at your convenience?

Mr. Merrill

Well our assets in the protectorate are tied up, we have some in mando and republic space but not up to standard, could I perhaps meet you somewhere that works for you? I am sorry that this is the case, I could petition for you to be allowed entrance if you wished it but otherwise how about you pick the location and I will make my way to you.

Ashley

Ms. Ashley,


Perhaps Silver Station? It's quite close to your corporate headquarters, neutral, easily secured, and accessible for both of us.

 

[Alli Vern]

Mr. Merrill,

That sounds perfect I shall be there to meet you. I look forward to doing business with you.

 

[Jorus Merrill]

[member="Alli Wren"]'s representative would find Silver Station and its surroundings to be perfectly safe. A battered old YV-929 freighter, the Gypsymoth, resided in the little station's docking bay. Jorus would be found leaning against the freighter, unarmed.

He'd come prepared -- datapad, several datacards on starfighter performance. The intention was, by hook or by crook, to make a deal that would set the Jedi Order in good stead, at least the Order's better pilots. And he pretty much had a blank check for this operation.

 

[Alli Vern]

Ashley walked up, wearing a pantsuit, and looking quite friendly despite a body designed to protect Alli Wren. The HRD smiled at him and made her way towards the freighter. She was as unarmed as she could get. She looked him over and was curious just what he wanted.

"Hello, I am glad we could find a place that worked for the both of us. Alli Wren sends her regards and apologizes for not being able to make it but she is held up in protectorate space at the moment. Now how can I help you?" She kept her smile as she noted what she could of a man trying to read him. She was still trying to get use to this whole her do the business thing. She thanked the programs that her master had installed to guide her but still was unsure if she was doing the right thing ever. She knew that organics were strange, and she tried to keep that in mind when dealing with them. Her senses ever at the ready.

"Your Naga starfighters," he said without preamble. "The Jedi Order's interested in'em, very interested. We like fast. An' seeing as the Council's finally got someone who knows small craft, they're trustin' me to find'em a good ship. We'd need a few squadrons, service packages an' the like -- a major, significant, long-term contract, if you're willin' and able to play ball. See, a defector stole an awful lot of crap from us not too long ago, an' there's some indications that your CEO would have known where that stuff ended up. That's not accusations, but we need to track down the lead, you understand. We need to know where this stuff wound up, and know that it's safe. Can you help us? Can we do business?"

 

[Alli Vern]

Ashley smiled. " Of course.. and you know we work with the jedi order already correct?" She thought about it. Theft? She hadn't heard. " What do you mean what happened? I would think considering owning Sasori would entitle me to know that the equipment we provided had been stolen, I would of donated more. We will sell you the Naga starfighters and anything else you need, and of course the usual personal equipment, if anything needs replaced let me know and I will move things around in Sasori. " She smiled the non profit she ran with Matsu Ike donated and sold equipment depending on who they were working with. The profits all went to research and into equipment for the jedi order. Ashley was out of the loop on this, she hadn't heard anything. She would need to correct that. " Can you please tell me what happened. "

"Matsu Ike wa|ked off with two |oads of important, dangerous stuff be|onging to the Order. So|d one |oad at auction, got some even more dangerous stuff in return, a|| of which wou|d be ours. We're tryin' to track down who has our stuff that she so|d, and that who|e second |oad too."

 

[Alli Vern]

"I do believe that Matsu Ike before leaving the order tasked us with building a vault ship for the Jedi, I don't know if you were aware. We are still working on it as there have been delays due to the war effort and loss of our shipyard over Druckenwell, but we plan on delivering it still. Miss Wren has worked with her for years and runs Sasori with her. I am doing so in Miss Wren's absence. I will investigate what I can of the situation and see if we know anything. I know we do safeguard some things for clients, but without some sort of order from the faction of residence we couldn't let you know anything however if you can get an order from an government, we would have to allow you to search all properties in said government's jurisdiction. " She said trying to be helpful, She hoped the man found what he was looking for. " I wish I could say more but my access isn't high enough to even know who those clients are, and of course are confidential. I can say that you should most likely work with the ASA , Omega Protectorate and Mandolorians to ensure you get access to our records. The republic of course should be easy should you get the proper clearance to search. " Ashley was hoping that helped him. She was only programed to do so much. She was pretty sure Matsu was such a client but she also feared that said things might not even be within Baktoid holdings, they may very well be with Miss Wren. She would have to inquire next time she was able to speak to her. "Will that be enough? "

The acting CEO didn't have c|earance high enough? That cou|d mean on|y one thing: That A||i Wren was in on this persona||y.

"The vau|t ship -- where is it being constructed?"

 

[Alli Vern]

With that suddenly Alli Wren's voice was heard through Ashley's output. " I will assist you with the items that Matsu took from you at once I just need some sort of an escort to move them, as I rather them not get in the wrong hands." Ashley was aware but not aware at the moment and it was clear that Alli Wren had been listening. " I am sorry I couldn't meet you in person but I was just released from a rather messy situation. I will work with you to ensure you get what is the Jedi's. "

Alli was now on her personal ship, cloaked and away from the damn protectorate. Once good allies but now they had blamed her for killing billions. She couldn't believe it. It was outrageous yet she knew she stood a better chance out of their hands then in their hands so she had taken the plea deal. She was banished. "Also I am looking at expansion, so please if you need anything I need to rebuild some assets and don't mind building close to the demand if it is long term enough. "
