Son of Triam
Utapau
Well, this certainly was an interesting time for Triam Akovin.What was she looking at?
Appropriately, it was a kriffing hole in the ground... a massive one, perhaps, but nonetheless no more glorious than a ditch if not for its relative immensity and depth. It was as deep as Akovin thought her pockets should be, or rather, wanted them to be. Whether or not she thought she should have that much money, was a different story altogether. Want was different though, from what she told him, it was tangible and real, quantifiable whenever the word "should" failed to produce results.
Crol didn't give a kark though.
Like he said, it was a kriffing hole in the ground. There was no way it was going to amount into anything... right?
"So uh... the Laminanium is somewhere down there... right?" He asked hesitantly, before spitting at it from above. They were currently landed just on the lip of the massive chasm with the ramp to her old freighter hanging over it. The winds were heavy, very extreme, and inhospitable, but they weren't staying out for long. Just giving it a size up before the rest of her resources arrived to begin.
"No you dope. It'll be manufactured down there. The only thing being mined here is common crap, but the uncommon stuff is gunna be kept here too. I can't risk losing material if either of my ships ever went down like it almost did on Elom." She said rather crossly with him, completely suited up in her new armor undaunted by the winds... meanwhile he sat there open and exposed with his clunky vest of durasteel hanging on him with simple armorweave. "And 'sides, I'll be able to protect a lot more material if I ever get around to landing my long standing deal with [member="Popo"]. An additional 100k sounds nice right about now, and I think six years is more than enough time to finally fulfill that greedy bastards desire. Though I feel like with my most recent Auction, I should be asking for a pay raise. Nosey kark actually bid my life on my most recent auction.. bastard slug. He's got a life span about a hundred times longer than mine! Learn some patience..." Man that woman can ramble.
"You ever gunna make me some armor?" He said with not a small amount of crass.
"Huh?" She said listlessly.
"Right." Grumbling, the old Zeltron went back into the ship.
Rummaging through her stuff as he often did, the Zeltron picked up a datapad and saw that she had messaged that fellow from Vanir Technology giving him the location and estimated construction cost of this new real estate on Utapau. They'd be meeting fairly soon to finalize and being construction of Triam's "Dream HQ".
Personally, he'd rather go hunting, but Triam had him cooped up 'relaxing' in her Executive Suite... but he managed to get Cabin Fever even in that environment. He was a warrior, it was as simple as that. He needed combat to deal with life and she was caging him up to deal with his inner demons instead.
It was disgusting how she treated him, meanwhile what with this "Covenant" business, she somehow was becoming even more arrogant than last time and looking down on him even more simply because he was troubled with the force, and she was supposed to be some bulwark of the lightside or some nonsense.
"Meanwhile you're profiting off of someone you openly hate more than me..." He muttered to himself angrily.
