I believe we haven't met each other, but I believe we both know one another. I am Sarah Larsen, one of the employees of beginning Cryer Pharmaceuticals branches in Sigma-17.
Our group is starting from a scratch and for successful and fruitful future we are looking for consumers and the category we can offer you and which suits you better, the business partners.
Before I proceed, I'd like to know if you are interested in some shady deals. You won't regret it.
I don't appreciate receiving vague communications with no direct offers, it hasn't been established what you can bring to the table. Until you do that I'm not so inclined to entertain a proper dialogue with you.
Congratulations are in order as you've passed the first test. You are interested otherwise you would just disregard this one if you weren't. Or you are just a polite man.
Simply said. I can bring you food and pharmaceuticals in the phase one of gaining trust, you know we both don't trust each other yet, but that can be fixed. Food and Pharmaceuticals for your help with competition or so needed information about Cardamine trade. If you pass the second interest barrier, I will explain it a bit more. You have to be careful with whom you are talking.
First test? Funny. Very funny. You're right about me, I am polite unless motivated to behave otherwise. But you seem woefully ignorant of the position your big pharma overlords occupy. Allow me to properly educate you on the matter.
Roughly two centuries ago our predecessors and perhaps a good portion of the people that founded the Xenos peacefully resided on Planet Denver. I trust you can already tell where this is going, but let me finish. When the water situation in California started to look cut and dry, all the suits packed up and started to look for the next place that their pompous posteriors could be affixed upon.
They settled on the idea of relocating themselves to Denver. Those people who used to work the mines, smelters and shipyards? Their industries collapsed a long time ago, so all that really stood in the way of the wealthy and highly influential elite was a bunch of impoverished nobodies obstructing their scenic vistas.
It was promptly decided that the unsightly squatters just could not be allowed to further pollute the scenery. While companies like yours leveled residential complexes for your massive research and production facilities, the LPI's overly zealous goons made sure to put all the money they were given from executives in companies such as Cryer, to good use.
Poor? Homeless? Perfect, because there's a cozy little prison for you to work yourself to death in making consumer goods. So when you're going to come to us with a proposal for "shady business" - then you had best be damn sure to be either entirely forthcoming with every pertinent detail thereof, or don't bother and save us both the time, because there most certainly isn't a goddamn thing that we need to prove to you by the way of "tests" - it's quite the opposite.
When it's all said and done, I gave you a shot to be at least somewhat different compared to the rest of the cockroaches in your corporation, whom only glean the profits they do from a lack of honest competition and underhanded labor practices, not merit and certainly not through respect and understanding of people like us. That leaves me with only one thing that's left to be said.
I am glad you take sarcasm so well, at least it shows you are competent and serious person. What happened two centuries ago is something I am not responsible for but I am more than willing to ease something people who lived before did. I am well aware of basic knowledge of your movement, I am familiar with many things.
All of this was supposed to prove your competence as I wouldn't really come to someone who is dumb, can you imagine us walking to Rogues and offering them business? Nah. Rumors say a lot about Xenos and Rogues, yet you seem to not follow these.
I could have just come and offer you to volunteer for pharmaceutical experiments, but why would I if I and my boss see a potential in you guys. You fight for rights, you were wronged and harmed but you always fought for better Liberty.
I am willing to help people on Denver to find a suitable job, however these places are endangered by competition. Not just in pharmacy, but also in Cardamine. I need someone from the underworld who won't hesitate to destroy any foreign pharmaceuticals and Cardamine runners. Yet we have to let some of them slip through if we want to keep economy up, if you know what I mean. No Cardamine, no Stabiline, no money, no salaries.
We are new and better Cryer than we were several centuries ago and we will more than gladly prove it. Hence why I offered our support.
It's up to you, I can offer you a job, pay you for it in cash or commodities as we have access to almost everything. But it needs somebody not on the lawful side of this world. We don't plan to stay fully on that side also.
Nice to know that even a soulless corporate pawn can somewhat convincingly play the part of a girl scout. It's just unfortunate that you aren't fooling me with the act. If I were a fool, I'd blindly accept your most noble offer of being your knights in shining armor, trying to rub out every trace of orange so that you can heal the Great House of Liberty.
But we both know that's a lie.
The only reason Cardamine flows into Liberty is because all the people sitting atop their thrones of ill-gotten cash get bored with their schemes of how to run our lives, they seek more vile thrills. The drug certainly takes the edge off as far as they're concerned. So color me less than interested in having freedom fighters die trying to stop the drug-trade that Liberty's elite are truly responsible for.
