Private Denon Shore

"I have some... ideas about business potential. With everything planned it will be down the line but help with our own plans as well." She said it while just content for the moment. One hand coming out to point. "First we'll expand the purifiers from the dome, clean the air and start expanding it downwards. Upcity utilizes all levels including the ones near the original surface of the planet. Places no one has gone but we have industry down there, means of production and power generations. Use that to protect our resource infrastructure and with a solid food, water and air production we can begin the real tests. The people as some will be convinced, some will need proof and to see it... others might resist but will just have to prove and win them over."

She said it and had a plan... or at least the beginnings and initial onset of a plan.. a way to encourage everything that they were doing for now. "We'll also be able to begin the planning processes, I have more then enough credits in reserve for the purposes of relocating and giving the people who live in many of the older districts aa better place. Maybe sometimes closer to their current jobs or even better just bigger... it is not a problems and more efforts will be in the advaancement of technologies. The facility you saw on the way in produces substantial credits even for just opening, the prizes and the acclaim are good for revenue and corporate sponsors means there is a cut going to the district for its various projects."

"You make it sound so simple." Dominique smiled as she lay there staring at the other woman. "Reclaim the Abyss from the life-consuming plume. Construct a new ocean well above the original sea level. Relocate an entire part of a District for revitalization purposes." Light laughter escaped the Director and Senator. "Well, I certainly love the vision and your drive to see it done, Ayumi."

"Putting aside how some citizens will refuse to move no matter how lavish their new living spaces are," Dominique began with the tabling of such a matter, "I wonder about what follows. The marvels that will make this all possible. Your financial contributions. What happens after the revitalization is complete? If too much of the economy becomes dependent on the effort, once it's over..." A slight shrug followed. "Not a problem we have to contend with today, but worth preparing to manage."

Dominique chuckled to herself. "You've put a lot of thought into this Ayumi. I appreciate that." What would become of the lower classes, she wondered privately? If everything were overhauled might external forces seek to move in? They couldn't displace their entire workforce because the planet became unaffordable. Designating an area as the 'slum' or 'slave pit' wasn't quite what she wanted either. So many nuances to manage. Well, better that than the endless spiral of renegades and zealots constantly trying to destroy what law and order Denon still had.

She gave a look at her while she stayed there. "The best way to look at something is the smaller parts first. We won't have all of the answers here today just laying down so." She said it staying there for a moment. "Just relax, ease your mind and think of the good you are doing... no other politicians, no syndicates, no boards. We have just this moment to ourselves so we should enjoy more so then we already are. I mean we are covered in frictionless oil that is edible. it tastes like a sweet syrup you would get in a high end diner while being nonstick. These zeltrons know a thing or three about the whole setting a mood thing."

She smiled finally rising up she had worked to get a chance to be next to her and that was progress but. "So get up with me... we won't go in the water but I'll take you on a personal tour of Upcity. No commitments, no nothing just enjoy yourself. I'll get you a snowcone on the boardwalk." She rose up and slipped out one hand being offered and the other remaining there for a moment. "Plus you'll be able to see what could be at work. We'll work on the oarts and problems both as they come and later... for now enjoy the fruits of your labors. You kept the Alliance off our backs, you have controlled the boards which allowed prosperity to thrive."

She waited but stood there and moved through the sands towards one of the attending zeltrons. The woman nodding while she offered a swimsuit and shoes. Ayumi quickly slipping into them as she stood there and it wasn't much of an improvement as the thin aurodium strings gleamed in the light and jewels hung down like tassels. SHe looked at it with a smile though slipping her feet as the small droids cleaning the sand took the particles off of her feet for comfort. SHe rolled her shoulders though while adjusting her hair with a small sarong to wrap around her hips. "Upcity always has things to offer."

 

[Dominique Vexx]

Fine brows rose as Ayumi described the oil as being edible. "Quite the mood," she echoed as Ayumi slowly slipped to her feet. She wasn't going to press before the tour? Surprising restraint on Miss Pallopides' part.

Golden eyes fell down the length of Ayumi's body to the hand extended out toward her. Dominique reached out slowly to take it and using her abdominal muscles rise from the luxurious lounger she'd been pampered on. Ayumi spoke of enjoying the result of her hard work, which the Director didn't mind doing when time allowed for it. Indulging too far, however, was out of the question. An hour. A day, perhaps. The Board was not something you could ignore for long; there was always some self-righteous fool that somehow managed to climb the ladder of society waiting to ruin everything.

Taking it easy was exactly what she did when she was a mere Senator to the Alliance. After losing that, cast aside, her resurgence had been in force. She claimed what was her's -- and she would protect Denon with all her strength. It was a vibrant world capable of endless productivity and acclaim. Squeezing the people until they bled from their very souls was counter productive, and so she seemed a savior of sense and sensibility by comparison to most of the Board. All that came with a price.

Dominique's gaze slid from the Zeltron to Ayumi as a 'swimsuit' was offered to be worn on the tour. Ayumi continued to have her way, and so the lilac-haired woman decided to throw something unexpected at her counterpart. She drew closer as she adjusted her hair in order to throw an arm about Ayumi's shoulders and draw the shorter woman close against her side. "I hope you'll show me everything worth experiencing, Ayumi."

Ayumi Pallopides​

She looked at her with a smile on her face to that as a small gasp of surprise came out. "Well this will be fun." She said it as the arm was around her and looked at the zeltron as her hand came out with a smile. "We're done for now, give yourself a generous tip." She got a nod from the woman as she started to walk towards the entryway of it. The gates opening to a small waiting area and functioning like an airlock as the inner doors closed and then they opened. The sounds of Upcity coming as Ayumi breathed it all in.. others were coming in and offered smiles, nods and parted just enough. No Children or younger teens as restricted.

She took a small moment to appreciate it all as the doors closed to the cove... the sounds of the city much more subdued with small buffers to reduce the noise pollution. "We'll start from the beginning... well somewhat. The boardwalk is one of the most distinctive attractions here bringing in people from the galaxy and all over Denon." She said it and was proud of the accomplishments here. The stalls for food were beautiful as the smells came out. Rice, meats, greasy foods yes but also it was something you ate for a day trip rather then a full course meal. The smell of oils flavored with sugars that had dropped in them.

Ayumi looked out on the ocean that had been made as she spoke holding a hand out to show. "We have islands being made for the highest payer and clients. A massive investment for what we can use to fund a lot more. There is the yachts we have gotten to sell and are building allowing people to experience for a moderately priced experience swimming in an ocean and sailing... something many will never get to do as Spira and some of the other worlds are incredibly expensive." She would prefer that they bring their credits here and not to some other world after all and it all went back around to fund the improvements.

"Then there are the fisheries we have built to go with the water, flash cloning fish that can be caught and." She said it while walking and one of the stalls wasn't filled with grease and steam.. the scent of various fish and seafood there... large blocks of ice that had been chipped and cubed holding it while the chefs were working with rice. To make raw fish strips the people could eat or grilling legs of some of the creatures into skewers. They had drinks as well for the people and many more were going out onto the sandy beaches as the droids were cleaning the sands. Red suited people were watching from towers along the beach itself.

Ayumi continued to lead Dominique down the area one hand at the shoulder but shifting just enough to hold her hand. More for the convenience of walking. She looked at the golden eyes of the woman with her hair glowing in the sunlight. "From the boardwalk there is the cove as you know and it has two areas. It wraps around which forms the adventurers facility our newest attraction for tourists... and further after that is more homes and penthouses." She walked for the moment getting more greetings from the people before she was turning back to the city itself and across the street showed cafes, fashion areas and jewelers.

The repulsor craft were going at a slower pace more scenic in its approach to traveling the length of the boardwalk while Ayumi kept the tour.. Going from the boardwalk towards the crosswalks with droids who were overseeing sections of traffic. He stopped them for the moment to let Ayumi and Dominique cross with Dominiques guards able to follow when she smiled taking in the scents of the cafes. "These are some of our most popular, themed cafes for anything you could want. The most popular being the jedi and senate themed one... it is hard to argue, all those historical figures." She laughed a little to herself with that though.

She continued as for a moment her senses flared until she spoke with a small roll of her eyes. "You can come out now." She said it as Zahira Pallopides stepped out from the one crowd that was walking and the woman was in a business suit... highly professional looking, dark hair and analytical eyes taking everything in. "Zahira." She offered a smile as she looked at the woman with a grin on her face so that they would be able to continue. "Director." She spoke and it was a clipped speech but she moved with a fluid grace coming over and looking. "Director Vexx." She spoke more taking in the guards with a nod of her head.

"You were supposed to contact me when you were done." She said it and Ayumi looked at her as she turned her head. "Zahira... I am clearly not done, I am making real progress here... like I got her to smile... might even get a kiss when she goes back home." She said it with a half smile as the biot bodyguard spoke. "Likelihood of that is slim, all analytics of Dominique Vexx from records show she does not have as hedonistic a streak as you. There will likely be more required meetings, perhaps more formal engagements over dinner before your coital wants can be satisfied." She said it and Ayumi was looking at her. "Your droid is showing.. thought we were working on making you more human like."

The biot looked at her and her black hair remained when she started to move to the side. Standing back near the bodyguards and remaining there as Ayumi smiled. "Well, now I get a chaperone, she won't kill the mood..." Her smile was wide as she continued it and led the way for all of them to weave through the streets. Shops for nearly everything was there as the streets opened into a larger round area with a look on her face. It was a perfect place in a way as she checked it. "The tower for me and beyond that is the entertainment district itself... dozens of opera houses, theaters, places for sports and additional shows. The park they are making is beautiful."

 

[Dominique Vexx]

Dominique looked over at Ayumi as they left the cove behind. She could use the exercise of a walking tour. It hadn't been on her calendar, but if Ayumi was serious about all this -- and there was no reason to believe she wasn't -- then making the time would be worth it. Some were content with seeing it on paper. Not her. The Game required too much precision to leave it to someone's interpretation and the bare skeleton of mere images or holopics taken of choice locations. It was the reason Dominique asked so many question to ferret out whether all of it was built on lies and deception, or if Ayumi had a genuine plan and means to implement it.

The street food smelled heavenly even if it wasn't the healthiest. Well, Upcity seemed to be quite the tourist trap; if you were going to indulge, you might as well savor some fatty foods. But the ocean was far more captivating, and seeing it at ground level was certainly a sight.

"Islands," Dominique half snorted and laughed. "Frankly, I'm surprised you managed to buy the real estate needed for this Ayumi. A grand vision doesn't always convince people to sell you their towers." It wasn't a kiddie pool the woman had constructed. So many things had to gone right -- by luck or deed -- for something so sizeable to have been recreated. "Impressive."

As they continued, she spoke of fisheries with a few stalls highlighting such catches.

"Have you considered a Sith themed one?" Dominique smirked as she looked over at Ayumi. "Not too realistic, of course, but people love indulging in the taboo. Something average citizens finds a curiosity, and our guests finds familiar. Enough where they don't feel insulted, anyway." The Republic wasn't at war with the Sith Order, and Denon wasn't about to turn away people with money. No reason they should only cater to Jedi, but Dominique wouldn't complain about them having a themed cafe. The Grand Master might, but she'd wait for that complaint to come in before worrying about it.

"Zahira," Dominique warmly replied with a slight nod.

Golden eyes shifted aside to Ayumi then as the pair exchanged... expectations.

Dominique lifted both of her hands, palms up at her side as she smiled. A light upward arch of her thin brows followed. What could she say? She wasn't the sort to jump into the sheets on the first date. Not if it was a genuine interest and not merely a fling, anyway.

A soft laugh accompanied Ayumi's lamentation of Zhira remaining nearby.

"Truly a resplendent District, Ayumi. It'll draw no small amount of people -- native or otherwise." It must have been pleasant not to have the responsibility of the planet constraining her ambitions. Dominique, on the other hand, used her finances to build the infrastructures cloaked in shadows. Security, intelligence, business relations. The corruption and mismanagement ran deep; some felt it a good thing, easily exploited, and indeed it had been for the longest. All things had their limit, however, and Dark Wire had nearly toppled the entire system because of the weaknesses built into the system. It was time to shore it up.

"You've made some wise investments and engaged trust worthy partners. All outstanding achievements on their own. I certainly wouldn't mind visiting more often," she added with a smile for her companion's benefit.

She offered a bow of her head to that. "I have learned most of who I can trust for things like this. It helps that so far most ignore me." She said it with a look though as the walking was able to continue. The mention and idea of a sith themed cafe was interesting and who knew.. it could be something make it like a once a year for a night thing... have it be special. "We look for the means to get all that we can, improvement might be costly but worth it. Call it a family tradition in a way as most took the long way to get things." She said it while she was thinking about it with a small smirk. "Also yes a tourist trap but a good one, the gangs that show up have an understanding.. they want to make credits and crime doesn't attract the people who give the credits it just brings attention you don't want." She was leading the way towards the entertainment district and staying in the larger streets while giving more interest. "ANd you should come more often.. well to all fo the districts see the fruits of your labor, talk to the people. If they are not depressed and soulcrushed they can be more productive which means more credits for you."

 

[Dominique Vexx]

Dominique chuckled to herself. "You don't need to worry about that, Ayumi. I have a fine knowledge of what the people on the street think and feel." Her golden eyes slid across the scene around them to take in the people in particular. "There's many ways to guide a people. With as many as we have, the one the Alliance waxes on about daily is," a soft snort sounded, "quite unlikely." People complained about prices now? Try increasing the wealth for literally billions of people on a single planet. Not to mention giving them too much purchasing power took control away from those more informed in such matters. "But the Corporate Authorities of Denon had been too inflexible in such matters. Too removed from the system being on the verge of collapse with Darkwire its chief architect."

"I look forward to finding a way to keep the credits fluid on our own worlds, and the productivity up. There's sure to be a way we all come out of this with something." And wasn't that the point of striking a deal? Admittedly, the other party wasn't really privy to the negotiation of terms or consent, but that was a minor detail.

"You'll point out some of your favorite venues, won't you, Ayumi?" Dominique smiled over at the other woman.

Ayumi Pallopides​

"Oh course." She said it with a grin. the talk of the people and the credits was well worth it.. the streets lighting up as going towards the interior of the district went into the larger entertainment district. Cafes were one thing but dance clubs, penthouses and open parks that were filled with various things including some attractions like exotic animals. Ayumi was looking at more of it while she walked with a little amusement. "We should fund a zoo, important animals from around the galaxy might be harder then native ones but it would give the people something to behold. With the right terraforming domes or levels we could even have smaller preserves that function as farms to naturally have our own resources."

She had other ideas but walking through the streets led the way past the park and into a larger open area. Rimmed with more cafe like businesses as she walked letting the lines being visible filled with some of the richest and best dressed. SHe let Zakira come with her while she was moving towards the one. "One of the more popular clubs in the entertainment district. It can take months for some to get on the reservation list now. There is also a few things in the penthouse of it you might like." She said it and the doors opened when she got close. No one standing there but the floors seemed to shift and brighten for anyone to approach.

The scent of spices and exotic scents. Music thrumming and vibrating through the floor but not in a loud way as it opened showing maids and servants. Women and men dressed as they were as one approached with a bow. Dark skin gleaming with oils giving it a sheen while her veiled face and almost fully veiled for her face. "Lady Ayumi, come back for the usual?" Her voice came out when she was moving and offered a table as Zahira looked at her. "Oh Zahira, so stiff, sit and pretend to have some fun." She laughed to it before the biot could react when Ayumi sat down and spoke.

"One of the more popular clubs, but the real talent is their weavers. They make some of the finest dresses from vine silk. Hard to argue with dresses that are worth in some instances several trillion credits. THey have a small production area down in the lower levels privately owned and protected. The shipping cost on the items is a substantial sum as well. The sales fund a lot more then what we need and now there is a chance of all the Republic wanting new fancy dresses or outfits. A more profitable market."

 

[Dominique Vexx]

"A zoo? Well," Dominique nodded to herself, "I don't know how you bought up enough space for an ocean, Ayumi, but finding enough space for multiple biomes for free-range creatures would be quite challenging." A soft hum followed suit. "Perhaps... Let's have some designers and engineers speak about layouts. Vertical. Horizontal, distributed or centralized. Means of transport. Logistics. Seeing live creatures might be captivating... One with safer creatures to actually touch as well. Yes, the people would enjoy that more than a holo-projection." It wouldn't be half as cheap as a holo, but people would pay for it just for the novelty.

Ayumi guided them toward a particular club of interest, which Dominique followed along without complaint. Who didn't enjoy a nice club? "I'm always in favor of learning about all the exciting possibilities," she replied when the other woman spoke of the penthouse. She might not use everything personally, but for choice personages pass on the information. Though there were certainly some attractions Dominique failed to pass on to anyone -- a woman needed some alone time, every now and again. Or somewhere to meet someone out of sight of normal relations.

As the doors opened, Dominique was greeted by a delightful if pungent aroma. It appeared this club was meant to be an absolute sensory overload as the music slammed air into their bodies before they'd gotten properly inside.

Dominique looked over at Zahira as Ayumi bid her to relax. A slight swell to her cheers over a warm smile for sympathy. This was hardly a productive use of time. Especially since Ayumi was using it to try and ensnare Dominique herself. Well, relationship building did take time and was its own form of productivity.

"Really?" Several trillion credits for the dresses? Was that where Ayumi made her money? One of the ways. Was it any wonder Dominique wore a holo-outfit? Fashion was so expensive when you bought the real thing; and she needed those credits elsewhere. "Well that is a fine business venture, Ayumi. I hope you'll let me know if you run into any obstacles." Not that Dominique would be trying to inject them herself, but others might try. Just a natural thing to happen on a world like Denon.

"Now, then, what would you recommend one order in this fine establishment?" Dominique laughed as they made themselves comfortable.

Ayumi Pallopides​

Ayumi looked at DOminique and smiled at that. "I mean we can and should but I was thinking of one of those advanced pods they are designed with dimensional engineering to have a much larger space and environment within. We could alter it as needed and have everything within our own space... better we could get several of them around the different districts as something we can use to improve other means." She said it finding a seat while she listened. "I will keep that in mind, vine silk is special in the galaxy and a premium nod that the empire likely burned the farms that usually produces it. Only a few offworld locations would be able to reproduce it."

She said it with a smile on her face. "As for food here well the best stuff is the most messy. THey make these rib strips of beef and pork. With different sauces that are fashioned to your mood. Allowing the flavor to change for enticement." THe smile wa son her face while she held a hand up. "THey also serve a wonderful drink or four. The flavored milks are considered exotic as they import it from vaarious creatures around the galaxy and it is heavily refined for impurities to be removed." She said it and well alcohol was there but the clubs needed exotic flare. "There is booze and all top shelf but all clubs have that few places go for having the basics done well."

 

[Dominique Vexx]

"Well, I'm sure we can help attract interest." Dominique wasn't opposed to quietly extracting farmers from Imperial territory. It was just good business sense. Even if they found out they wouldn't hold it against her personally. Perhaps demand some sort of tribute in response, but it would be well worth the cost -- long as they kept the nature of those extracted a secret.

"Do you have a few venues for the less affluent? Affordable beer to draw people into the maze of attractions? Or are those saved for other Districts?" Even those not well off financially would want to visit the ocean's shores. They could still make some money from such visitors. Then again, Dominique could understand if Ayumi didn't want to encourage them to loiter for long. Some Directors thought of the poor as little more than walking, talking trash. A tad harsh in her personal estimation, but Dominique couldn't afford to be the morality police. Her efforts were subtler.

Such as suggesting the possibility of entertaining the less well-off at all.

Dominique surveyed the area out of curiosity. "I find the idea of different sauces for one's mood a curious concept. What flavor would be for those feeling... unmotivated?" A smile spread across her lips, curious what Ayumi would suggest.

Ayumi Pallopides​

"We do, not everything is a mountain of credits. The boardwalk is all about tourism and after everything else that is going to have to be paid charging for food and drinks at prices of a ship... what are we some soulless company with a mousy dictator?" She said it while she remained there with it. "As to the flavor for unmotivated. I imagine something a little sour but not much. An after taste of spice but lightly as opposed to something bold flavor wise. Though if you are coming to a club unmotivation should be the last thing for you to want." She haad a moment when she thought of it though while sitting there.

"We'll be able to do more and things will always be affordable here. Upcity is for high end but we cater to all people." She shrugged with that. "Credits are credits after all until you manage to make Denon supreme and we make our own currency." She didn't need to smile with that as much as she imagined there would be something like that if things progressed. Denon was going to be able to grow through all of the influences that they had... as well as the high levels of potential expansion. "We'll also have to work on some of the planning. I have ideaas for districts potentially and if we can manage it we could work on megablock districts."

 

[Dominique Vexx]

Ayumi was a treat. They were on Denon of all places, a soulless company occupying an entire District was not unheard of. Of course, that was actually the better fate for a District than those consumed by criminals and gangsters.

"That is an interesting concept for a flavor," Dominique admitted. Sour with a hint of spice? "Hopefully particularly tart to shock the senses."

A soft chuckle accompanied Ayumi's ambition for Denon. "We're already a premiere planet. The difficulty is remaining as much. That is why the Board has historically made so many miscalculations; they turned their attention inward thinking our position unassailable. No one is unconquerable if its defenders are asleep." Dominique drummed her fingers atop the table once. "This... rejuvenation effort could have considerable ramifications for Denon. Most of them positive. You have my support, at least. But, as I said earlier, my Dear, not everyone appreciates a visionary. Don't move so quickly you become surrounded by enemies, or we my find ourselves besieged in Upcity."

"By all means, I'd love to hear about these ideas." Dominique felt apprehension at the threats that would inevitably rise in the turbulent wake of great change. But just because she could appreciate how dangerous it could get didn't mean she was too afraid to act. It just meant more work for them in positioning their pieces before the enemy even thought to strike. That itself would cost credits, but Ayumi had some creative means of acquiring them; and Dominique herself was hardly sitting idle in the pursuit of them herself. "But I won't fault you for indulging in the moment." There'd be time for the planning; Ayumi had wanted this to be something of a social time, after all.

Ayumi Pallopides​

SHe gave a nod of her head to that as the warning was a given and she agreed with it. There was a danger... and she knew eventually she would likely find herself surrounded by enemies. Which would break her heart but she had to do it and push it forward. "Thank you and yes there will be... but anything good takes time. If I wanted something instant it would be so much easier to just make more credits and exploit every small thing." She thought about it and doubted she would really be able to do it but there was always the chance that she could. "Well the ideas for the megablocks are simple, streamlining the levels and design. With each being able to use and maximize space for people to be able to live. With the right systems and technologies in place they would be able to have food, waater and air as needed but also it would begin to open districts for us acrross the planet. The people move there while she fix up others and can go back to populate, each one has its own rrep and its own skyline district which gives us a layer of credits being produced while opening other districts up for use aas needed. If a company wants it fine we can do that, if someone else does or we have a need for services, maybe some more water storage or even food storage. We can make a foundry for working on and developing ships or vehicles."

 

[Dominique Vexx]

Far from indulging, Ayumi began to describe how she expected redevelopment efforts to proceed even in occupied levels of Districts. Megablocks, for one. That didn't address the industrial needs, but then there were sure to be ways to handle that. Some might even find it an opportunity to redesign their own facilities. It would be a challenging game of Sokoban. What was important was Ayumi's drive to see it done.

"I appreciate all the thought you've put into this Ayumi. These details should help me sell it to the rest. Their first line of attack is always fear, uncertainty, and doubt; by displaying forethought has already been put into the plans we'll cut off that stalling tactic." Not easily, but far more easily than if Dominique had to make up details on the spot and then hold Ayumi to them -- or appear to.

"And I'll never turn down foundaries. Denon had a need to produce more even for our selves of late. It may seem hostile interests are targeting the High Republic, but that means they are targeting us. We're an economic backbone to the Republic. Whether by military means or infiltration, they will try. Have tried." Dominique placed a hand atop the table in Ayumi's direction. "Take care who you trust to hire your workers. They might try to sabotage your work."

Ayumi Pallopides​

She gave a nod of her head to that. "I have a few people I trust to help, the attack on Coruscaant was bad but it did allow a few people I know and have always been able to trust to come to Denon. I expect people to come and attack us, most will want to destroy instead of use. It is one of the newest things to build back better." She said it more cynical but leaned there for a moment. "And we'll be able to make better plans with it, enough districts or levels dedicated to supplies means we will be able to do a lot more. Some of the engineers we have for building here in upcity will be able to survey the other districts." That gave her a larger grin though. "They built and developed the islands, one the companions are paying for. Danger Arceneau and her girls will bring some high class shine to many things we do and it might help. No one wants to cross the trade queen." She said that with a nod, the companions was a boon adding high claass for them.. more so then the beaches as they brought a lot. "We also have the market of whispers with the invisible market. It won't do much but the clients there are usually ones people don't want to cross."

 

[Dominique Vexx]

Dominique chuckled. "A solid foundation, Ayumi. If you need anything, you can call any time. Even if it's just to lay out in the sun." She extended a hand for the other woman to take, if she liked. "As for our enterprising friends, I'll always strive to bring them more opportunities. It is a large galaxy and always in flux." They were capable of attracting their own customers and contacts, of course, but what else was an Executive Director for it not to ensure their continued growth? Well, more Denon's growth, but they could often align.

After a moment, Dominique decided to inquire about something a little more personal. "In all these designs, Ayumi, what would you recommend as an abode for someone interested in enjoying Denon's newfound living standard? Somewhere that would be able to access District One, of course, but not be crowded by well-intentioned, but noisy petitioners?" It would be interesting to hear the other woman's thoughts on the matter.

She slid her hand into the woman and moved a thumb. Letting the pad go over knuckles with a small smile. "Hmmm a place near district one. I could see something beautiful. It would be two levels, security renovations, self sustaining and made to be protected in the event of an attack." She said it while thinking about how it could be made. "A good mixture of form and function with internal quarters made to show the one who lives theres means. Wealth is good but you should show the credits in some ways at times and near district one you want to make a statement visually before anyone even gets close to you. There is also the look for the interior. Kitchens, beds, rooms and oh a status symbol for a fireplace you can have. No question they will think highly when you break out the split wood pieces ready to be burned and give warmth just because you can. add in some good filters and purifiers for the air and water you can have a wonderful mansion."

 

[Dominique Vexx]

"Previously, I tried to avoid too lavish an abode as a humble Senator of our world. Since I've become a Director, however, I think it is time to change that. The people may appreciate humility, but business partners often hunger to surround themselves in wealth and prestige. Seeing as how your recent technological achievements has opened up quite a bit for the people, they should be content with their day to day being elevated rather than concern themselves with a 'slightly' larger residence for one Director." Dominique chuckled.
