Corporate Takeover

[Zelot]

Otis powered down his ship, a lovely Luxury Yacht, as the mooring fixture clamped down of his ship. Picking up his bags as he headed to the portal. He though a bit about how he ended up at Roppongi..yet again. What was this? The fourth time he had been stationed on this station? He did love being in Kusari, something about the people, maybe it was in the food? Otis Jethro's mind ran, it was but a few days ago that he engineered the takeover of a small Kusari ship building interest, Renzu Corp. The company makes a pretty popular line of civilian ships, and already has a deal with interspace to sell their ships across Sirius, but for some reason, the leadership of the company seemed unable to capitalize on their market placement and share. Jethro had been watching the company for some time, and had big plans for it.



As Jethro walked out onto the promenade of the station, he saw the familiar sights, and they brought him back... small groups of people all around, eating and drinking at the many pubs and shops, a group of well dressed businessmen passed him on the left, there were two women in the group he thought to himself, they must be from Kishiro. Another group crossed in front of him, long coats, with lots of tattoos? They read as Hogosha all over, against the far wall he noticed a group of old men in suits, they were ringed by a group of women in Kimono's, Samura. All the groups in Kusari were represented her, along with many many of Kusari's young, who take the shuttle up from the Planet to rub elbows with foreigners, the Kusari social elite, and grizzled criminals. Ah, it was good to be back on Roppongi.



Jethro headed to the lift, normally he would be heading for the IND offices on level 45, but today, he was off to the offices of Renzu Corp on level 12 of the station. Getting off the lift, he noticed the cream color of the offices, a short man, with a data pad was waiting for him outside the lift.



"Mr. Jethro, welcome to Renzu, the division heads are waiting for you in the conference room sir. If you would like to follow me?"



With that, the small man turned crisply on his heals and headed down the hallway, Jethro decided he had better keep up and followed after him. Coming to the conference room, the short man opened the door for him, and Jethro walked in. The stark contrast was plain, the room was ornately decorated in full Kusari style, with a long black wood table running down the middle of the room. The table was huge and could easily comfortably sit forty people... there were four young men and one young woman at the table.... Otis knew right then he had a long haul ahead of him.
