Club Abyss, Ibiza Station.

[Chenzo-]

As Harabero speaks Chenzo is intrigued by his apparent misunderstanding of how highly addicting and afterward permanently dependable drugs work. Or perhaps Chenzo just assumed everyone has in-depth knowledge in tune with his own? His chair warm and comfortable by this point, he begins to speak.

"Senor, there isn't a market in Bretona or anywhere else in Sirius apart from Liberty because the Maltese of my time had deals in place, to not target them. The very seeds of foundation within Liberty were placed before the 101st, of course. The expansive network which exists today only does so because we, the 101st made it so, believe what you like but it's the truth. We also built Valetta, Corsica and numerous other stations across Sirius, many of which today aren't there. Please take me for no fool when I say I do nothing by half measures.

Sadly, one of the major stations within Bretona capable of servicing our capital vessels I've not seen trace of, most upsetting. All of this was possible prior to my departure due to the solid network between the three controlling Maltese factions working together directly as I've mentioned before. It's no surprise that the Maltese Empire is but a fraction of what it once was.

On that note, what does Senorita De Marco bring to the table other than being aesthetically pleasing?

On a totally separate note, but ever so relevant. I wish not to offend on anything I say, but more particularly by what I'm about to speak;.

It only takes but a taste of the abilities, powers and unnatural immunity to ill health which comes hand in hand with Cardimine to instantly hook new users in to its warm glow. Once a few have it in them, their desire and need become greater. After a while, those who learn to live with the life changes which ultimately come about due to it's negative stigma will then in turn seek, to interact with others and this is a key stage. Then pedal it onto others to try and make themselves feel happier about it and of course, fund their addiction.

Why I mention these stages is because they directly impact the prices we can demand on the product. The first deliveries are to happen personally to corporations directly by our ships to keep prices low and quiet. Otherwise, the Cardimine we think is going to Bretona ends up on the Liberty market instead. We keep prices low there for now until there is a larger demand.

We need to have a large number of people both in positions of pedalling and then of course a larger number of users they can supply, this takes time.

You may laugh, but one of the early stages is planting propaganda, false testimony's of people claiming that Cardimine has cured their life long illness, saved the lives of young children, the only side effect being they need a regular dose of the drug that without the use of, would have died. CEO's in edge worlds reporting major mining profits due to workers being able to work much longer hours due to Cardimine use.

Another is having groups of an unsavoury viewing by targeted house space work for us, but have no affiliation to the orange dream itself until later on. The stress generated on military forces causes desperation, take less of an attentive eye toward us and our dealings. This is something the Corsairs are actually good for, the desperate rabble they are.

That is but two of many things being worked on my side. It's at this point I hope you can offer a full answer about De Marco and her relevance of any kind? Can you advise of anything she may have done worthy of noting?

As for the Molly's, well.. They're on very good terms as far as I'm concerned. I'll be re-establishing connections as I've spent quite a few years under their transponder in my younger years.

Although I've stated I'd be happy to work with De Marco and see what she can offer, I'm speaking to you directly as you are the man with a few cards which make my plans easier. I'll succeed regardless but I'd see it as a total waste for you not to be involved directly.

Senor, working together means working together, not offering to oversee a venture and say 'yess, that's good' once work is done."


He sits back with a warm glow on his face, it's clear Chenzo really would like Harabero to look at the bigger picture of setting things up correctly. What it means and what benefits it could hold going forward
