Druggy bussiness

[Sempra the Hutt]

At night the palace hallways fell silent. Here and there a wind blew up some dust. No one really understood where those gusts derived from. But then, there were alot of things that White Palace kept as its own secrets. This particular night the palace curiously watched as a tall heavily armored warrior and CEO of a medical company walked down its interiors. He was recognised as a member of the Cartel and the watchful Hutt guardians nodded in respect as he passed toward their joint leader. It seemed this meeting held an athmosphere of secrecy. Not that it was unusual for Sempra to conduct shady deals, but then again. Many never returned from the belly of the beast as they say.

As [member="Jaster of clan Awaud"] approached the doorway to Sempra the Hutts private quarter the Gamorean in front of it stepped aside and the door slid open with a silent hiss.

Behind it a room bathing in extreme, but strict, luxuary welcomed the visitor. Sempra and one of the Cartel Major Domos waited inside. As he entered the Hutt looked up.

"Ah [member="Jaster of clan Awaud"] - we finally meet in person." Sempra rumbled. "Your dedication to the genereous Cartel has indeed now reached my ear." he continued with a tone of approval.

"Now. I have summoned you here this night to talk bussiness." the hutt then waved a hand toward the door and the gamorean guard exited the room and shut the door, leaving the three seemingly alone in the large room to talk in private.

Sempra reached for a toad and swallowed it as he peered between Jaster and the Major Domo beside him.

"Here is what I propose - a cooperation around manufacturing a new product of... " Sempra smacked the air, searching for the right wording. " ... medical origins." he finished with a cunning smile.

"Your company is in need of growth. I will aid you in this and you will aid me in manufacturing a new drug with a special side effect. Major Domo [member="Xander Black"] will be supervising your progress on my behalf and ones the product is completed he will manufacture a weapon allowing us to use the drug the way it is meant to be used."

"Mr Black here has a datapad with a special reciepie. My own researchers have only come so far in the development of this product, but it is a base to start with. Do have a look and you will soon realise what the side effect I am looking for is composed of." Sempra motioned for [member="Xander Black"] to present the datapad and turned to pick up a chalice on a thin looking table on his right. Its roof held on the backs by fine carved Weequay miniature slaves.

"I will privide you with as many test subjects as you require. The Cartel slaves are numerous... "

Jaster was not seemingly happy to be here, he needed his contact with the Hitt Cartel to a minimum. They were just a needed evil for his company to prosper. The criminal underworld was not something he feared, he'd been in such places before. What he did fear was that the walls did talk, and if his company's meds got connected to a criminal drug dealer, he would be ruined. Though since his arrival, he had not seen a soul walk the same hall as he did, the palace was very large, but not to see another soul was odd, and he was greatful.

This did prove though, the Hutt wanted something Jaster could offer. He could only want Jasters Armada of trade and escort ships, or he wanted Jaster to develop a drug. Jaster assumed the latter as he had the only genetic chamber this side of the Galaxy as far as he knew. This meant he could make a more powerful plant or spice by cultivating only a single seed. So this would be an interesting meeting, one Jaster might even find very profitable.

Jaster was then invited into the Hutts private room, even more interesting. So he entered the room and saw the large crime lord in all his glory. This was the first time he was allowed to meet the Hutt, even after his first arrival to the cartel and his donation of money and trade lanes. He was mildly impressed on how far the crime lord had gone in such a short time, though they would have a way to go before truly becoming a thing of beauty. As Jaster stood there and listened to the Hutt make a request, Jaster could not care about the drug, but yet another organization to stick his claws into, he'd do the deal.

"I must say, your timing is impeccable," Jaster pulled out a small tube containing a green smoke with a little green dust at the bottom, "my company just found this odd substance that is highly addictive, yet it has not taste or smell to it, my scientist are still trying to understand it before we place it on the market."

Jaster looked at the Domo, he seemed a capable man, but Jaster didn't like the baby sitter, though it couldn't be helped, "Test on your slaves can prove useful to furthering test of the drug, it's combination to what you may have will prove itself," Jasters eyes then became filled with credits as he changed the subject, "now, for our contract in the exspantion of the Umbrella Interest, current trade routes are unattended, and my company would like to discuss our assistance in this area."

 

[Sempra the Hutt]

Sempra nodded. When [member="Jaster of clan Awaud"] produced the tube with its green content his eyes gleamed with excitment much as Jasters did with greed.

"The White Palace med bay is in poor form as well as the supply of medical equipment to some of my other facilities. I will sign a contract to buy a steady supply of med kits to the White palace from wherre I will distribute it to those in need. If your company continue to prosper in the future and you do not stray away from the Cartel I will give you an expanded contract as well. My own and the Cartels operations are expanding. It is only a matter of time before we have such a need." Sempra spoke casually, seeming a bit less interested in this contract.

"But for such a promise I would, aside of the new drug, also require free access of my ships through the hyperlanes you claim. No questions asked." Sempra leaned back and watched The tall man in frnot of him.

[Jaster Awaud]

This request was of no surprise, Hutt or not, customers always wanted the most extreme from him. He was not hard on money, nor did he truly aspire to deal in drugs and be known as a drug company. Though there were times when evil things were needed, and he found that such things as crime lords were needed when the opertuninty arose. Though competition was not his business format, he sold to who bough and would continue to do so, even if it meant smuggling and extortion. Jaster was an honest man though, and chose to not lie and negosiate then to be caught in a lie later.

"I'm sorry sir, but if my company is to keep itself afloat we sell to those who buy," Jaster bowed his head as he did just disrespect a powerful person, "but I can provide you this, anything your grace wishes to produce in my companies name, you will receive 35% of the produced price, and when perchasing anything from my company 25% off untied produces, and only labor price for those we produced with your assistance," Jaster lifted his head, "trade routes and Ship Codes will be available with strict supervision of my corporation, some of my client will kill of they found out my cargo held illegal substance."

Jaster did continue though, "Per our negosiation of any substance you further wish to create, Umbrella Secrete labs will be needing to be set up in your territory or our lab equipment will be sold to you at 25% it's off market price."

"Hyper lanes that my company patrol are free reign for your transport, though piracy must be limited to a minimum or trade will cease and we both suffer," Jaster placed a data pad on the table, "if you agree to these turms, your drug will be produced in a conjoined effected by both our companies."
