Out of the corner of your Eye, you see faint glowing in the distence and the shimmering of water. You are lead to a Great set of Doors with the Inscrption "Abondon all hope, ye who enter here."
"A word before you enter Ms.Lilei. The Thane wrote that incrption, and made made the doors when we was a tad depressed a few decades ago," And he's smiling, " he has a slight taste for the melodramatic that he rarely gets to indulge.

The Gates open into a Room, faintly lit to reveal, behind a desk easily 8' high, A Giant of a Man. "Ms. Lilei, it is a pleasure to meet you at last." He gets up, ans kisses her hand, "Please, have a seat."

The weather was most unfortunate - a powerful lightning storm raged outside the building. Still the diplomatic talks went ahead according to schedule. The agent of the Diplomatic Corps greeted the delegation from Commonwealth.

''I'm Antonio Djavolini, Diplomatic Corps.'' On his finger, a silver ring with an intricate pattern caught light, shining for a brief moment. ''Please, allow me present this gift as a sign of friendship between our nations.'' Two men unveiled a beautiful piece of art - a golden fiddle, decorated with gems and lined with silver. ''A project of an upcoming artists Vitalij Dvorovoy, I hope it is to your liking.''

The diplomat smiled and offered refreshments, before proceeding to the buisness of the day. On the table were the official documents detailing the treaties as well as a leatherbound book, titled ''Master and Margarita''.

''The CPC has reviewed your proposal and we believe it to be most favourable. But I would like to make a counter offer, that will be even better. Your nation will have riches, power, international prestige.'' Djavolini's voice nearly sung the last words. ''All you have to do is sign this treaty.'' A lightning struck close, light reflecting in his golden rimmed glasses and illuminating his pale face. Thunder rolled.

I would suggest not to burden them with a specific task, instead let them provide the basic reference work. Alternatively they could provide some mental templates for our work.

At the beginning of the meeting between CEO Morgan and the representative (CEO) of UHI, they exchange some information about their economic situation and R&D capacities (if UHI agrees to this; Technorapture present the true figures).

Morgan: ”Thank you for coming. Equally shared control over the combined operations is in our interest too. Who do you have in mind for this third party consulting firm?
Now to the mining and research cooperation. Based on our previous negotiations, we prepared a contract. If you find him agreeable, we can both sign it.”
The contract declares in a great number of paragraphs that Technorapture and UHI agree to cooperate as equal partners in establishing new mines and sale of raw materials, as well as cooperation in R&D.
After both signed the prepared electronic forms, Morgan moves
“With this contract signed, I can inform you about our current industrial and research projects. First, we were contacted by the Southern Federation. They wish to purchase raw materials from us to build their first space station. We further offered them to hire our orbital construction crews to build the station to their specifications. We received a similar request from GB. They asked for our technical advice in building a magnetic launch system and they also hinted that they wish to construct an associated space station. A third project only concerns our solar power collectors and don’t directly affects our other operations.
Our R&D department currently cooperates with several other groups in developing new AIs. We plan to use them to increase the efficiency of our mining operations and manufacturing complexes.
Our next big project will be the development of working nanites of both the assembler and disassemble variant. These too are expected to significantly increase our industrial output.”

The negotiating team from Urania Heavy Industries, headed by CEO Charles Aisen-Goldfeld likewise brings documentation of their own fiscal situation and available economic assets, and indicates their willingness to share this information. (6 ECO, 2 TEC)

"The consulting firm we were considering is a relatively minor player from Earth, but trustworthy." They turn over information pertaining to the firm, and investigation reveals that they do seem to have a good reputation. They're not a major player on the level of UHI or Technorapture, but they've several past successes at streamlining operations and fiscal monitoring to their names.

"Regarding the contract, we will, of course, have our lawyers look over it as a routine measure, but we see no reason why we cannot continue negotiations and sign it once they finish." The electronic copy given to him is sent back to Euterpe Station, and once vetted and returned, he agrees to sign it.

With the contracts signed and the true business beginning, he leans forward, fingers steepled. "We do have significant expertise in manufacturing; it was our original business here in space, and it remains the cornerstone of our efforts. Naturally, with these contracts, we'd be willing to offer you our expertise as well in order to make sure the customers remain satisfied and, more importantly, willing to pay for further business. Unfortunately, our R&D is occasionally somewhat lacking; we make up for a lack of resources by focusing our commitments to limited areas. We see a great deal of promise in the second project you mentioned to develop practical nanites, especially for our particular economic areas of influence. Given that you mentioned that you have already entered a partnership with other spacefaring polities for AI development, I believe that our greatest mutual benefit may come from pursuing this jointly, ahead of them. If we can introduce these to our own businesses in advance, it can help us significantly. If nothing else, we can at least use our head-start to lay a foundation on which we can build a fine edifice."

The Glass shudders a lot, and you all feel a rining in your ears, but when you look, a large portion of the wall is cut away.

It's secondary defences are four Sonic Rams. Each one has a 90 degree feild of fire, and while they only have a effective PSI/second of 250, they do have a range of 600 meters. Activate the Rams.

First is for those pets you just can't let go of. We know how you feel, and we can help! We can do a special type of A.R. and a complete RNA memory transfer, so your pet has another shot at life.

Secondly is for those who want a extinct animal for a pet. So long as you have the DNA sample, we can bring it back!

Third is for those who have pets that want to compete better in animal shows. Your pet need a boost? We can Splice what it needs.

"We could get behind that. If the Group spends the next six months funding and equipping your armed forces, would a strike at the end of the year be likely to succeed?"

"What are your intentions regarding Vietnam?"

"As for the cybernetics, it probably could. As for the Kolto packs, we're looking into it." He's looking nervously at Tirya. "And if I could ask a question about psionics, seeing how your a empath, and all.." He's very nervous, and anyone can tell it just by looking at him, and he's waiting for your awnser. It's just, I always wanted to try and devlop my gift, but I'm Grim. And what I'm asking is, What's it like to have a gift that won't kill you?

"Of course," she replies, smiling, and when he asks, pauses for a moment before she speaks. "As for what it's like to have a gift that won't kill you... I don't really know how to answer that. Can you describe what you're asking more specifically?"

[Grimsage Matt]

You empaths are lucky. My people approched yours becuse we can't do psionic experintation on ourselves. You see, a grim that uses psionics only has a few seconds at most, before they become the mental equilvent of a black hole. For us, to use psionics is a fate worse then death. What is it like, a gift that won't kill you?

Shan Warlords to Cobra (PM)

Several of the representatives snicker at that. "I don't know if you've noticed," their apparent 'leader' comments with great patience, "but we don't exactly have the ability to attack the Moon. Let's put this simply: who do you want hit, and what'll we get for it?"

Malaya to Cobra (PM)

"Won't have time...that's pretty optimistic. In our experience, they've been more than willing to attack anything that moves along the way, not just what got them out of their rats' nests in the first place. To keep them in line, we've always needed a big stick, not just a carrot." The cousin sighs. "Right, then, so what's in it for us if we do agree? We'll need more than just empty promises that they won't attack us anymore, and getting anything out of the warlords once they have it is like pulling teeth from a shark."

Indochinese Alliance to Tuong Khinh Group

"If we work together, I'm sure we can at least push them back. I can't imagine that they'd have anything to stop us if we work together."

China to Tuong Khinh Group

"We have no intentions at this time. We have no territorial claims against your nation, nor do we have any conflicting interests. Our primary goals are westward, at this time."

Event 5

This event is morbid looking, with tissue samples and organs in labeled jars and trays.

Ladies and Gentlemen, as you are aware, the Grim make extensive use of grafting, and how do we get the Tissue's, muscles and organs to be Grafted? Easy! We grow them in special tanks. Now, if you or your citizens need a transplant, but there's none avilable? We can grow them that organ. Need asoldier who is pyshicaly stronger and has faster reaction times? We can graft the right combenations of tissues onto him. With these, your people will never die becuse they couldn't aquire a transplant in time.

“Yes, their recommendations and past successes do look promising.”

“Yes, we are interested in developing the nanites with you. However, right now our own research facilities are working at full capacity at the AI research and on our project for GB. While your support for this last project could free some of our resources, I need to inform you, that we do not expect to make a considerably profit right now. We see this more as a door opener for further business. Should we manage to convince them that we are reliable and competent partners, more business will surely follow.
So for the next few months, our R&D department sadly has no free capacities but as soon as we can free some, we will start with this new project.”

OOC: What type of company is UHI (Inc., limited company, etc ) how are their shares traded and who holds them?

Currently our rates are - t.econ for – worth of construction time.

OOC: First turn, no special technologies but the fluff benefits might be enough to improve your construction rate and give me some economic growth.

Should the relationship and the trade between our people grow, we might consider further market integration and maybe some mutual projects. This is why I said as a start. I currently don’t have a concrete project in mind, but are positive that something will be present itself in the future.

The Technorapture representative, a petit and young looking woman, has so far shown little reaction during the events but is making constant notes. During a break she approaches the presenter to ask him some questions.
“Your sonic projection technologies are interesting. What I would like to know is have you considered its potential as a low lethality weapon for riot suppression or its use as a mining tool?

The medical technologies you presented to us during events three and five also look promising. They could help us in combating both amyotrophia and bone atrophy. However I would like to know why you limit your medical application to organic grafts. You obviously have the technology for successful gene therapy. It might take a little longer to achieve the desired effect, but is less stressful for the patient and has lower chances for autoimmune reactions.”

[Grimsage Matt]

To Technorapture(Or at the Grim Expostion)
We do have gene therapy avilable, and we use it quite extensivly. In fact, the Grafts come with auto-Adapt genes for immune systems. But, we also only do Gene-Splicing and gentic agumentation after a period of investigation and risk/benift anysis. We're still paying for a mistake we made decades ago. As for the sonic non-leathal weapons, the Beakons of Meridia use suppression sonic rifles. We've also been using sonics as a mining technology for Decades. The tank is ment to double as a Mining tool.
