It seemed Gerion was making a lot of exceptions lately.
Droids are mindless automatons, he would say. Any 'personality' traits or quirks they exhibit are the result of imitation and programming glitches. Nothing more. They cannot truly be sapient, only replicate it. With the exception of Morgan. Morgan was far too humanized to just be imitation or glitches. Just as well, all Mandalorians are bloodthirsty savages physically unable to see more than twelve minutes into the future. Some of them may obtain martial prowess, but ultimately their backwards philosophies and utterly barbaric cultures rendered them incapable of forging a meaningful legacy.
With the exception of Draco Vereen, who had appeared on the corporate scene seemingly from nowhere. And just as quickly as he appeared, he started climbing the ladder of corporate growth as if it was falling out from under him. Now he was a sitting member of the Techno Union's Executive Council. Gerion could safely say he had dealings with all members of the Executive Council, but not Vereen and ArmaTech Combat Systems. There had been no reason to up until now. ArmaTech was starting to up its droid manufacturing. Unlike Mandal Hypernautics and the other myriad of Mandalorian manufacturers, Gerion did not expect ArmaTech's droid products to be utter garbage. He would do well to partner with Vereen and his company rather than compete.
The Techno Union would have enough internal turmoil with criminals fluttering around its ranks now. Cold relations among the Executive Council would not benefit anyone. So Draco Vereen, or maybe one of his representatives if he so desired, was invited to Hegemon Towers on Lianna. From there, he and Gerion could negotiate a favorable, profitable relationship.
