Foundations

[Venthis Zambrano]

The winds howled on the planet of Arkania. The Anvil had landed in a standard transport vessel, wearing a specialized snow attire. He stormed off the ship, landing a few clicks out from a mining facility under the name of Nova Corp. He came to make a deal, as he was close with the owner of the company. None other than [member="Krayzen Dratos"].

He marched through the snow for some time before eventually the ship he had arrived on would turn around completely showing it's back end. As it did, the ramp would drop and twenty sets of droids, seemingly specialised in mining would release from the ramp. Creating such a force as they dropped the snow completely left the ground around them as if a bomb had dropped. Though they would power up and begin to march behind Iriaan. He had come prepared.

Hopefully the deal would go through as intended and he would be allowed to mine resources alongside the facility or even provide his droids to them in return of resources. This was all for his newest project. He would take out a device from his pocket and speak into it with a stern tone. "Come back in ten hours - Oh, and contact Krayzen, tell him I'm coming" Before he would shut it off. Continuing onwards. The winds were harsh and the snow felt as thick as a ton. Though Iriaan continued onwards in pursuit of his goal. Nothing was going to stop him from obtaining this rare substance, not this time.

Though he would quickly realise the initial path he wanted to take would be blocked by an avalanche which must have taken place prior to him ariving. Nevetheless he made his way towards it and clicked his fingers to the droids as they lifted their arms, and began to drill into the snow clearing a path for Iriaan, it took some time. But eventually it would be compelete and they were able to pass through.

Just like before, the Anzat had decided to come and inspect the mining facility he had. When they had received the new contract with Lady Kay, Krayzen, along with his co-owner, had ordered for an expansion of the current facilities they had. That would allow them to deliver more of the precious minerals they mined to their clients.

As he sat in his office, his comm device was activated.

"You have a new message."

Krayzen then activated the message. He then saw a droid, not knowing who was the owner.

"Master Iriaan will be arriving soon."

The sensors in the mining facility were not aware of any ship that was arriving, although sensors did indicate a ship close to the facility. "Is he actually..." Krayzen said, wondering if he was actually coming to the facility on foot.

The Anzat then turned on the holo-communicator.

"Get a few men to go to the place where the ship had landed." Krayzen ordered. They both nodded, and soon, some men would go, perhaps meeting Iriaan on the way.

While they did this, he prepared for what he assumed was a meeting.

 

[Venthis Zambrano]

Him and his droids. They continued through the harsh conditions, not stopping at any notice. They continued for what seemed like hours, when realistically it was far less. Though the snow did not slow down, if anything the snowstorm picked up. Though in the distance he saw a group carrying flares approach. He would hold up his fist in signal for the droids to come to a halt. "State your name." He called out to them. They continued to approach in which he would reach for the blaster on his holster on the left side and a sword holstered on his right. "Are you deaf?" He shouted, almost.

They would come to a stop, before one of them would drop their flare and call out "We work for Nova Corp!" and with such Iriaan would lower his hands to his sides before he would continue marching forwards. The droids would follow suit, marching past the ensemble of men. "Join at the back, if you wish." He said the one who spoke to him as they passed through. Unsure of what to do they would shrug to one another before doing as he said.

The group would march through the enviroment until eventually reaching the compound. They would arrive at the gates, staring up at the tall walls he would turn to one of the men [member="Krayzen Dratos"] had sent. "Open the gate then, why are you standing there?" He asked. With the worker quickly running and opening the gates. He would enter with a flick of his hand the droids would line up where he pointed and would power down. Another man, encased in winter attire he would approach Iriaan. "He is waiting for you in his office." A soft nod would come from The Anvil's head before he would enter the building and make his way to the office. He approached the door. His boots slamming against the floor before they would come to an end. Then... knock, knock... knock.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

[member="Iriaan Sakor"]

In order to better know when Iriaan was coming, the Anzat, through the force, expanded his sensor range. Each step that Iriaan took would be aware to Krayzen, as he wanted to know how much time he had. Then he heard a knock; he's here.

"Come in." Krayzen said.

"I was surprised by your visit, but I'm sure you didn't come here for a bad reason." he said. "How have you been?" he curiously asked, before they officially got to the important details of the meeting.

 

[Venthis Zambrano]

As the door slide open, Iriaan's winter coat would flurish slightly before he took a long step into the room. Pulling his hood down, and lowering his arms down to his side before he would stand with his arms linked together by his hands behind his back. A slim smile would appear across his face as he would initially glance around the room. "I've been doing well. Recovered well, from our... last meeting." He chuckled quietly. He would then slide over into a chair, across the table from [member="Krayzen Dratos"]. "Nice office, you have here. Very nice." He stated, giving another glance around, as if searching for weapons.

"How have you been however?" He enquired. Laying his gloved hands on the table, as he looked him from across the table. His feet shifting to sit him up in a proper posture. His droids remained powered down outside.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

[member="Iriaan Sakor"]

Krayzen heard Iriaan's response, knowing he was vague, but generally glad his apprentice was doing well. When he inquired about him, Krayzen prepared his response.

"I've been doing fine. As always, I've been busy flying in and out of the Iron Empire when I can, but ultimately, I'm fine. My leave is still continuing, so I do plan on us getting started soon." Krayzen said. The Anzat however knew that Iriaan wouldn't have gone all the way here for a simple trip: there had to be another purpose.

"Your trip must have been quite long; why have you come here?" he wondered, waiting for a response as he looked at Iriaan.

 

[Venthis Zambrano]

He listened to his response, seeming content with it. He gave a soft nod, before he would purse his lips. "I've come for to arrange... a business deal between us." He smiled. He was in the midst of expanding his company. Making business partners where he could with the right people. "I want to come to a beneficial deal between us, allowing me to mine Phrik here. Taking some of your substanse, for a percentage of profit in return." He stated.

He sat with a questioning expression on his face, looking to [member="Krayzen Dratos"] inquisitively. "Not only that. I want to possibly, become business partners, not only mentor and student." With that he would finish, waiting for a response. His hands lay flattened out onto the table.

[member="Iriaan Sakor"]

The Anzat nodded. He liked the idea of their partnership growing. Krayzen also knew Iriaan had built up a reputable company in its own right: he also believed he could, perhaps teach him a thing or two, although he was sure his apprentice had the ability to stand on his own too feet.

"That's not a bad idea. I've been wanting for us to work more in other fields. I need someone I can trust." he said. Krayzen was rightfully cautious, having once served in the Sith. He had yet to fully trust someone, but he had a feeling Iriaan might be the first person he could fully trust.

"We always keep copies of such arrangements for situations like this." he said, as he snapped his finger, an agreement already appearing.

"What are you working on?"

 

[Venthis Zambrano]

As the agreement flashed before him, he would grin widely. "Wonderful." He stated. Turning back to him, he would glance out of the window for a moment gesturing to the droids clearly seen. "I've been developing weapons, and more specficially droids as of late. Though, I've decided to delve into creating a type of droid... a spearhead to create an anagram." He said, letting it sit for a moment by taking a long pause. "It will have a shield, built-in to it's arms. The first line of defense." A proud smile would appear.

He reached into his pocket removing a small cylindrical object placing it onto the table and as he did, a small holoprojection would appear. Showing the droid that he had mentioned prior, or atleast an early draft of it's design. He sat back, nodding to the projection.

"It is near completion I just await a large supply of Phrik, specifically." Giving another nod, he would sit back and await [member="Krayzen Dratos"]'s response.

 

[Krayzen Dratos]

[member="Iriaan Sakor"]

"I see." Krayzen stated. He had some ideas for the design, but he decided not to state them, wanting Iriaan to improve at his own pace. Krayzen had never built a droid before, although he knew one day, he would approach such an avenue.

"We'll do our best in delivering it. We have a lot of clients who want our phrik, so we'll do what we can in meeting your demands at this date." Krayzen stated, pointing towards it.

"How much percentage of the profit will Nova Corp be getting?" he asked.

 

[Venthis Zambrano]

He seemed satisfied, pleasently atleast. He let out a soft exhale, giving a nod, before readjusting himself in his chair. Leaving a pause on purpose, he would open his mouth again. "For you. Thirty-five, percent." He stated. Nodding slowly, afterwards almost proudly at his statement, taking a sip from his glass of water on the desk. "Which I think is reasonable, don't you?" He enquired, genuinely interested to see what his mentor would say to the offer.

A soft wave of his hand would shut the hologram down, allowing them to look eye to eye again.
