Sunny nodded back and resumed speaking after waiting to see if anyone else had something to say.
"Right, then. Moving on with things since we are all here I would like to address something important... Would you all please stand..."
The men around looked confused but stood up in their seats and waiting to see what the President had to say.
"I would like a moment of silence for someone that had been very influential to the Club. Whatever your thoughts on the Junker Congress are, we should all pay our respects to the missing Rico from Inverness' Junkyard. It pains me to say that he has been gone for some time now and we've determined he probably won't be coming back. He was a valued asset to the organisation, a true friend, and he even called me his cousin. The man had a good sence of humor and planning and when we needed assistance it was not the Congress but him that lead to give us aid. Him and Bruce, rather, I am not sure what became of him as well... The man and us would have created a solid empire in the black market... but... <sigh>"
While still standing Sunny leaned his hands forward on the table and bowed his head in respect. The whole room fell silent for a sold 2 minutes in honor of the two men. Sunny then broke the silence to begin again.
"Please take a seat..."
"Brothers... we are now in a new era of relation between the Congress and Junkers as a whole. You know our relation with the Junker Marauders already. If it was not for the Congress' intrusion we would be still doing strikes at their hull and making them fix their damn ships with their stupid scrap. <he slams his fist on the table> Unfortunately now that our inside connection with the Congress is gone, our relationship has grown... silent is not fit to define it. Let's just say I have received reports that they are not too eager to assist us and we have to try more than needed to get a simple mining request from them. They are Junkers, the hell! Furthermore, their little stunt to find some guy had not grown any results last I checked. I assume it was either some kind of game or trickery, or that man is really gone. Either way, they are no use to us and do not show it. With the hogosha war in effect, I am wondering if they will even lift a FINGER to help support the threat. I highly doubt it."
Sunny smirks and the room nods back and some are chuckling.
"It seems, gents, that we need to see if they have their respect for us. I shall later send them a little 'postcard'. See if they even remember who we are."
