Expanding Horizons

[Matreya]

Sunlight, beautiful and bright, shone directly through his massive ornate window against his face. Smiling for a moment Penumbra relished the warmth, for his life had become so much colder during his fall ever more to the darkside. But the weather couldn't put a hold on the Supreme Lord of Val'halla's plans.

He had recently contacted Silk for a request at partnership. Recently, Zaiden had to suffer multiple on site accidents and no true way to aid in the healing process for the men other than Droids. And they were cold and lifeless, uncaring whether they caused pain. So now he sought to become one of the true Bacta corporate owners. If he could have Silk align with J.A.C, the profit for both would be amazing.

He hoped Jorus would show, even knowing he was a Fringer in his home space. In the letters packing was his father's Cyan lightsaber as a show of faith. He didn't know if it ever would be returned but he would wait and see...

@[member="Penumbra"]'s message was quickly and politely answered. Within a ridiculously short amount of time, a man who had killed a good number of Fringers -- usually honorably, and in fairness, Fringers had tortured him in the past -- touched down on Val'Halla with the semi-legendary starship Gypsymoth. A small host of accountants and bacta experts at his back, he entered Penumbra's conference room with a firm handshake.

"Jorus Merrill. Good to finally meet you, Mr. James-Greyson. What can I do for you?"

Zaiden held the hand offered just a moment longer then usual, as a show of respect. His own shake was firm but gentle, he did not wish to offend a man of such repute, "Like wise. I have heard much of your acts Mr. Merrill. As such, I have brought you here to discuss business." Gesturing to the chair opposite his own, "Please, sit if you will."

After returning to his own seat, the man smiled, an odd feeling for one whom was used to no emotion being capable of being seen - his mask a constant now, "I wish to procure bacta, due to many injuries on site for my multiple plants. Now, I have a very few options to choose from, and despite your image among my brethren," He paused, not wishing to name any names nor cause any friction, "I chose Silk as my opportune selection."

"To procure said bacta, I offer up a partnership between James Armor Companies and Silk Holdings. A completely mutual agreement, down to the dot. You will have complete access to all I have to offer from my many assets, while I ask for the same in return." With his speech finished, the giant man reclined backwards in his seat.

The man before him could more then likely obliterate Zaiden in numerous ways, hyperspace being a deadly place, and as such he showed him the utmost respect. No words could be interpreted as a challenge, for there was none to be received.

"That's a lotta trust," said Jorus, "an' we've only just met. I'm not always an honorable man -- CIS could tell ya that. How 'bout we put some more concrete definitions to this. J.A.C. is a specialty goods manufacturer, yeah? I've got a lot of high-end customers that want special personal ships from me, an' frankly, our yards are better suited to makin' tramp freighters and things of that sort. Here's the deal I'll put out to ya. We'll sell you as much bacta, kolto, and kolcta as you can take, at a serious markdown. In return, you manufacture whatever specialty jobs we send your way, at a similar markdown. Personal ships an' vehicles, that kind of thing."

Zaiden rubbed his chin as he mulled the offer over, in essence it was a similar proposal to his own just marked down. He could agree to it, "Sounds like a deal." The large man said as he rose and reached out to shake hands with the man. Maybe in tike a true partnership could be obtained. Further along in time, Jorus could possibly become an ally and at that time maybe even an asset for the Fringe.

Only time could tell.

Jorus returned the larger man's handshake professionally. "I'll have my people call up your people with the contract, but it should be pretty straightforward. This works out for us, we'll find other ways to cooperate. Pleasure doin' business with ya, Mr. James-Greyson."
