The UMM

[Lusitano]

* Marius returns from a delivery of a 30 meters prospector tower and a vehicle that camed to be repaired. He used his new ship, one X-Shuttle that is one of the few ships that can be used well in space and used on atmospheric conditions. And since is a single hull, is very useful to transport heavy vehicles in ready to use conditions.
But he wasn't happy! Reports that his vehicles, even the Alter unarmed will appear on the scanners has one military vehicle. On his office all his main staff was there:*

- Marius - How can this be?

- Walter - Trucks! is the only thing i can say!

- Aristides is Marius right-hand man, and responsible for all sales and contracts - There is no problem with that! I mean ... not a big problem!

- Marius - Why is that?

- Aristides - There is no law in Liberty that forbids the transport of military vehicles, while in Kusari is only for the Taus. Bretonia requires a license to transport and so is Rheinland!

- Marius - Bretonia? Probably some millions!!! We can't pay that for some vehicles to Gran Canaria!! Rheinland is out of question, not that i have any thing against it, by the contrary, but if Liberty knows that we are even just passing by Rheinland with our vehicles, that could be bad!

- Walter - So if we want to sale our vehicles on Gran Canaria ... how we take then?

- Marius - By Kusari, Sigmas, Omicrons and Omegas! Is a long route but is not a problem!

- Aristides - The brochure is almost ready and we will send to all Sirius! Now since the tower was delivered, and we have nothing like that to make ... so waht about we use that warehouse to that production line? i think that we can sell very well the Alter!

- Marius - A new production line just for the Alter will be great! Not only we can produce more vehicles as also frees the main line to the heavy vehicles! And can generate more jobs! How long can be ready?

- Aristides - In about 3 weeks! I estimate that we will need about 120 more workers! And i know were to get then and all Zoners.

- Marius - Good.

- Aristides - I have a new contract! Twenty movers, and thirty supliers and all Erie versions. And the interesting part of this contract, is that is the first for the South East Quadrant!

- Marius - Very good! Who is the buyer?

- Aristides - Is a new company! And is ... let's say half Zoner and half Libertonian! And you know well the Zoner that runs it!

- Marius - Dont tell me that ... is really that piece of (censored)?!

- Aristides - Yes! He really like our vehicles and the region that they are going to explore is not easy.

- Walter - Who is he?

- Aristides - A former Marius's partner! He almost stole all credits from him and all others miners.

- Marius - But before he could escape i caught him and .. gave him a litle treatment and delivered him to the Liberty authorities. But looks like he got away. He knows from where the vehicles come?

- Aristides - Yes he knows and heeven sent his regards!

- Marius - I would sent him some (censored ... and continued to censored ... yes is still censored)! When we can deliver?

- Aristides - In two weeks we can start to deliver! For now all our production is reserved! And i can't put more workers, because we need then on the production of the new sea barriers!

- Marius - Erie is great! If there isn't the humans that kill you, it will be his wildlife, from land, air and sea!! When you have the brochure ready, send a message to the Zoners groups, to come and visit us.

- Aristides - Ok then! But ... what if the Order requires some vehicles? order and Zoners always had good relations!

- Marius - I don't think that they ever need our vehicles, after what happened to Toledo, but even they do need ... Liberty considers the Order as enemy so .. we can't suply the Order! At least directly! So no unlawfuls and Order and Rheinland! We are autonomous but Pennsylvania is surrounded by Liberty core space.

The meeting continued for dealing with trivial administration matters.*
