I'm looking for an investor... I'm starting my own "independent pharmaceutical" trade of sorts. But unfortunately I've come back from some extensive traveling to find my accounts and stocks either frozen or missing. In either event, leaving me short of what I need. Which leaves me no choice but to seek a partnership with an avid investor willing to take the "risk" if you will. Of course, that is, your investment in me and my entrepreneurship will make you a bit more yourself. You may find this to be a lucrative offer but only to those willing to risk the credits and trust.

Any questions you are free to ask, don't be insulted if I wish to abstain from answering them though.

Monday morning. Joseph Holm smiled at the block secretary and sighed with satisfaction at the cleanliness of his office.
DSE used automatic systems to clean the office blocks on Pittsburgh; not knowing in the slightest how they worked, had no trust in them. There had been changes since the new administration, however. One of those changes were the perfectly human cleaners on the weekends. Cleaning and housekeeping jobs were rare these days, with companies capitalizing in CAAT. The "Cleaning" division, of the Absolutely Automated Technology group of corporations, which DSE chaired. With the complete control DSE had over the other so-called partners, it was a trivial matter poking a billion credit hole in the market by offering weekend cleaning jobs to hundreds of thousands of acres of offices to refugees.
The refugees were Bretonian but human nonetheless. Even if they might not perform their job as flawlessly mechanically as machines, Holm saw their work as significantly more perfect. In high spirits, he looked forward to the days work of reading and approving financial applications.

This could prove valuable. Cryer had a firm grip on the pharmaceuticals market, every single aspect of it. This startup might not have the best chances to impact circumstances to a meaningful degree. But if it did... and if DSE was a major investor...
It could lead to a promotion for Yosef. An office with a window would be nice.
As the lights flicker on in a small pod somewhere drifting in space. A calm composed figure gracefully moves about the cabin as if in a waltz. And carefully but quickly hacking away on a keyboard promptly writes a reply:

Citizen status... I'm not sure I have one, I just go where I please for the most part, I'm not tied to anyone place or policy, just myself. Currently the only "commercial negotiations" I'm going through is with you. My "operational focus" is to move an already developed product to prospective buyers and resellers. Dealing mostly in large, bulk, loads. Resulting in the need for an extremely largo cargo transport of some sorts. As for being employed in the market, I've only done work for myself and myself alone. But with that said the work I've done before this was more of a "trader for hire" work rather than my own. I hauled what people wanted, as long as the pay was fine. Chemicals are my specialty and I have a Doctorate in Pharmaceuticals with a masters in Chemical Bio-Research and Compounds.
