Ryo seems to be absorbed by the conversation he is having with Dean, discussing about the current projects within the Republic, the costs and the findings done by the 53rd, especially about planet Baja and Yuma.
"Very interesting Dean and you said that it can be done?"
"Yes, with relative ease. We just need to mimic a biodome and it shall be done. Now the costs , will be around a few good hundred millions..."
"Money is not an issue at the moment. I think we can manage. Please tell me about the drones..." Ryo asks while with his corner of the eye catch what the other members of the meeting is doing. He sees that Rio is reading from her pad and seems that she is pretty much in awe with it and for a while he had a strange feeling regarding her and on the other corner, Erik is busy with his son.
His attention is distracted when Doctor Doreen enters the room with her son. Ryo stands up and salutes her "Greetings Dr Doreen, nice to finally meet you. Apologies for not being able to respond to our last correspondence, work caught up with me. I hope that Frank was a good replacement and that he kept you entertained and looked after you. And who do we have here? Hello sir, who are you ? "Ryo looks at Benjen "Welcome to the Republic of Crayter!"
Ryo smiles to the kid and then he gesture towards the empty chairs "Please have a seat. Allow me to introduce ourselves. I am Ryo Kase , Minister of Research and Development. Next to me you see Richard Dean from the Yuma University and 53rd "Athene" Squadron. This beautiful lady "gesturing towards Rio Umeda" is Rio Umeda, Head of Medical Services. Next you see Erik Corvin , CEO of Yuma Robotics and the young gentlemen is Peter."
Ryo waits for everyone to say their piece and then asks Peter " Peter, would you be kind to show our guest here this facility if he wish for? Would not want for our guest to get bored"
