The tired looking woman looks towards the vidcam, the blue haze of the Sigma's reflecting on her face.
"You surprised me today. |P-Tech|, a new corporation in Sigma-19... I couldn't believe that the corporate puppet-masters of the corrupt Kusarian house had allowed for such a thing. I was even more surprised when, instead of fleeing or opening fire, you allowed me to interrogate you on your corporation's purpose. Refreshing, to say the least. You come across as an honourable man, if a little naive. Shame..."
She takes a moment to manipulate some controls on her craft, before looking back to the screen with a stern, angry frown.
"Despite this pleasant circumstance, let us not forget the nature of this 'relationship'. I find your intentions noble yet your philosophy wanting and some of your actions insulting. Selling Helium to the Sisterhood of Dream's enemies, supplying them with your experimental technologies. It would simply not do to let this stand unaddressed."
"The terms are clear. Five million a week, paid to Hana.Ken, starting today. You've already paid the first tribute, let us hope for your sake you honour this agreement. I'd hate to see what would happen to your operations otherwise..."
"You've claimed you support the Sisterhood. Time to prove it to us."
[18.05.2015 11:46:07] Hana.Ken: Konnichiwa, Aegyssuss-san *bows*. I couldn't help but notice your little operation here... mind if we have a chat?
[18.05.2015 11:46:16] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: Not at all
[18.05.2015 11:46:31] Hana.Ken: *gently smiles* I thank you for your patience. It is most refreshing
[18.05.2015 11:47:06] Hana.Ken: It seems P-Tech has grown in recent years... I wish to investigate it's motives... who you are... what you do exactly...
[18.05.2015 11:48:34] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: Well... we are a company specialised in both mining operations of Helium-3 and also Technology Development
[18.05.2015 11:48:56] Hana.Ken: *raises an eyebrow* Technology development? Of what kind?
[18.05.2015 11:49:08] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: We are still young as a company but we hope to develop ourselfes for the good of all people who need us... whatever the faction
[18.05.2015 11:49:47] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: We hope that as we grow .. in time... to be able to develop special devices such as Cloaking devices and Jump Drive technology
[18.05.2015 11:50:12] Hana.Ken: *smiles* That's quite experimental technology... wuite the investment I would imagine...
[18.05.2015 11:50:15] Hana.Ken: //*quite
[18.05.2015 11:50:38] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: It will cost a lot I know... that is why we are trying to gain money by investing in mining technology
[18.05.2015 11:51:06] Hana.Ken: *nods* Well... you've got business sense... but let's find out if you have a pure soul... hmm...
[18.05.2015 11:51:13] Hana.Ken: Who do you supply?
[18.05.2015 11:51:56] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: For now we are not openned... at the momment we are trying to develop a Cargo Module to store the mined Helium-3
[18.05.2015 11:52:05] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: and after that we will open the market for Helium-3
[18.05.2015 11:52:23] Hana.Ken: Ok, who will you be selling the H-3 too? *suspicious look*
[18.05.2015 11:53:11] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: We will sell the Helium-3 to the people interested in buying it... Our target is to gain as much money as we can to start
[18.05.2015 11:53:17] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: the researches
[18.05.2015 11:54:05] Hana.Ken: hmm... I must say... this operation of yours perturbs me a little... but you are a company I have not seen before.
[18.05.2015 11:54:11] Hana.Ken: Perhaps you have promise where others have failed.
[18.05.2015 11:54:31] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: I hope we will have success... for the better good of all
[18.05.2015 11:54:42] Hana.Ken: *chuckles* The better good... quite...
[18.05.2015 11:55:10] Hana.Ken: Well, let me tell you what I'm about, so that you know what is happening here *stern look*
[18.05.2015 11:55:28] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: Okay.. i'm all ears
[18.05.2015 11:55:47] Hana.Ken: I am of the Sisterhood of Dreams... a Sisterhood which will eradicate corruption from humanity, and unite us all under-
[18.05.2015 11:55:55] Hana.Ken: the harmony of the Matriarchy.
[18.05.2015 11:56:24] Hana.Ken: What happens next depends on where you fit into that, Aegyssuss-san.
[18.05.2015 11:56:25] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: I'm fascinated
[18.05.2015 11:57:08] Hana.Ken: I have a proposition for you.
[18.05.2015 11:57:18] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: Well I do fit with that ideology of yours... Because that is what i am trying to do here.
[18.05.2015 11:57:42] Hana.Ken: Is it? *raises eyebrow* You seek to spread the Matriarchy?
[18.05.2015 11:57:45] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: To develop technologies for the good of all people..so not only the corrupted police or military shall have them
[18.05.2015 11:58:49] Hana.Ken: hmm... *frowns* The corruption spreads beyond military and police... it lies in all of us. Until we are united with the-
[18.05.2015 11:59:00] Hana.Ken: Matriarchy, it shall be there. Destroying. Exploiting.
[18.05.2015 11:59:58] Hana.Ken: Despite your clientelle... your motives yourself are.... commendable at least.
[18.05.2015 12:00:49] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: Thank you sir !
[18.05.2015 12:01:14] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: So, what is your proposal?
[18.05.2015 12:01:28] Hana.Ken: It's Maam. and yes... the proposition *gently smiles*
[18.05.2015 12:02:02] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: I'm sorry Maam. Please accept my appologies.
[18.05.2015 12:02:59] Hana.Ken: Your motives at least seem... reasonable... yet your methods I do not abide by. I'd hate to have to resort to violence to-
[18.05.2015 12:03:08] Hana.Ken: absolve this...issue.
[18.05.2015 12:03:59] Hana.Ken: So, how about a deal similar to that with those of the GMG. You contribute some funds on a regular basis...
[18.05.2015 12:04:05] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: We are peacefull people. It is not our wish to engage in pointless battles
[18.05.2015 12:04:28] Hana.Ken: off the books of course... and P-Tech gets to go on operating as normal. Thoughts, Aegyssuss-san?
[18.05.2015 12:04:42] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: Sounds fair.
[18.05.2015 12:05:09] Hana.Ken: *bows* You are indeed a reasonable man, and I'm glad you understand the situation.
[18.05.2015 12:05:22] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: We will do whatever is possible to be in good relations.
[18.05.2015 12:05:29] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: And also
[18.05.2015 12:05:57] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: I really respect what you are trying to do.
[18.05.2015 12:06:12] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: So by all means we accept your proposition.
[18.05.2015 12:06:20] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: What will be the amount and the period?
[18.05.2015 12:06:32] Hana.Ken: *smiles widely* You surprise me, Aegyssuss -san...
[18.05.2015 12:07:03] Hana.Ken: Would be be unreasonable to ask for... say... 5mil per weekly period? *curious look*
[18.05.2015 12:07:35] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: It's acceptable ! We have a deal .
[18.05.2015 12:08:00] Hana.Ken: *bows deeply* You are indeed with an honour. I'm glad we could come to an understanding.
[18.05.2015 12:08:03] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: So... every week I will send in your account 5 mils and send you an e-mail of confirmation.
[18.05.2015 12:08:19] Hana.Ken: Hai, that would be most satisfactory.
[18.05.2015 12:08:21] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: And I would prefer if you let me an e-mail to confirm that you recieved the payment
[18.05.2015 12:08:31] Hana.Ken: //are you on forums?
[18.05.2015 12:08:49] Hana.Ken: Of course, it would be only fair to reciprocate.
[18.05.2015 12:09:11] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: //not yet... we just started playing... I am working on developing the station some more and then make it official
[18.05.2015 12:09:41] Hana.Ken: //I'd get on there quickly, especially with a PoB. That way, we can communicate via forum post. RP there-
[18.05.2015 12:09:48] Hana.Ken: //will help you expand the base later on.
[18.05.2015 12:10:24] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: // you are right... i will work to post the station on forums
[18.05.2015 12:10:40] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: // thank you for the advice
[18.05.2015 12:10:57] Hana.Ken: //it's not a problem. Btw, the forum inrp is known as the neuralnet
[18.05.2015 12:11:11] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: oh and you are one of few people i've met since i started with a very good role-playing ability... i really appreciate that
[18.05.2015 12:11:38] Hana.Ken: So... I shall send you a summary of this agreement on the neuralnet to you... I hope you respond and pay your tribute-
[18.05.2015 12:11:49] Hana.Ken: on time.... who knows what could happen otherwise *chuckles*
[18.05.2015 12:12:12] Hana.Ken: //thank you. You too XD
[18.05.2015 12:12:18] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: So, maam, if you don't mind, I will dock right now on the base to access the bank account and send you the first payment.
[18.05.2015 12:12:29] Hana.Ken: *smiles* That would be most pleasing.
[18.05.2015 12:12:40] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: Of course !
[18.05.2015 12:13:04] |P-Tech|Aegyssuss: I wish you a good day maam. And may our understanding last for ever.

[18.05.2015 14:11:01] Hana.Ken: I see one of your transports is a Universal pilot? *raises an eyebrow*
[18.05.2015 14:11:11] |P-Tech|Miner-1: Thank you ! I will read it with interest and atention !
[18.05.2015 14:12:00] |P-Tech|Miner-1: Well yes. Do you have a problem with Universals?
[18.05.2015 14:12:26] Hana.Ken: I just wonder if you had some kind of agreement with them perhaps... one can't be too careful.
[18.05.2015 14:12:39] |P-Tech|Krezz: we dont have any agreement with them
[18.05.2015 14:12:54] |P-Tech|Krezz: im the only one with the universsal
[18.05.2015 14:12:54] Hana.Ken: *nods and the frown turns to a smile*
[18.05.2015 14:13:24] |P-Tech|Miner-1: He has agreed to help us by his own wish. Not as a part of universal.
[18.05.2015 14:14:00] Hana.Ken: Hai... hai... *bows* apologies for my touchiness...
[18.05.2015 14:14:21] Hana.Ken: Kusarian puppetmasters have strings everywhere... you're a new sight to see.
[18.05.2015 14:14:26] |P-Tech|Miner-1: Not to worry. It is normal to be suspicios as long as we have an agreement
[18.05.2015 14:14:35] Hana.Ken: Hai, indeed *grins*

[18.05.2015 14:17:55] |P-Tech|Krezz: we have all the same ideology
[18.05.2015 14:18:13] Hana.Ken: *suspicious look* Which is?
[18.05.2015 14:18:19] |P-Tech|Krezz: so to answear you question ...... yes

[18.05.2015 14:19:08] Hana.Ken: hmm *nods* Very well

The vidscreen focuses on the figure of Hana, looking out of a panel window into the purple hues of the Karatsu cloud. She keeps her back to the camera as she speaks, her face slightly turned to one side.
"Aegyssuss-san... you disappoint the Sisterhood."
"Not only have we not seen a response, which we would have expected from a man who claims to be so noble and honourable in intentions, but we have also not seen any contributions appear for the Golden Chrysanthemums."
"You walk a narrow line... the Sigma's are a dangerous place, and without good neighbors you may find that P-Tech's helium operations may be more difficult than usual. If you have not the credits, there are other means to support our cause..."
The woman turns around to face the camera, her expression is one of scorn and anger. She holds in her hands an info-tab, displaying a scan of the Politech facility with bomber attack patterns highlighted.
"The Sisterhood finds your claims to be false, and that you are just another corrupt Kusarian corporation. You have one chance to prove us otherwise."
The screen shows the woman from earlier transmissions, this time dressed in combat uniform and sitting at a desk. The same info-tab with Politech scans lies to her side, facing the camera. She wears a cold, stern expression and does not take her eyes from the viewer. Her tone is soft but resolute.
"Aegyssuss,
You had your chance to prove to us you are something more than a foolish, corrupt corporate man wearing an idealists clothing when it suited you. You have squandered that opportunity. It is a real shame, as the Sisterhood rarely tolerates activities such as yours as we had yours. It is a weak individual who hides behind idealism for the sake of his own preservation. Your insolence shall be paid in kind."
"Hence forth and enacted immediately, all P-Tech vessels shall be targets for my Sisters. In addition, your facility in Sigma 19, Politech Corp, shall be assaulted and destroyed. You have one week to remove any civilians from the facility, but do not mistake this gesture as weakness. If we arrive and they are still there, they shall perish along with your station." She unsheathes the Wakazashi and points it to the camera.
"You have until we begin our bombing runs to beg for mercy."
Time is up... and I'll hand it to you, at least your consistent. For their sake, I hope you evacuated the stations crew. If not... well there fate shall be sealed."
