Michael Alexandros, current pilot for Synth Foods, walked into the showroom to meet with the Kishiro salesman. He had been given a business card for the man while delivering some Synth Paste to Fujisawa Mining Facility in the Okinawa system. Great ships he had been told of the corporation. He was very unfamiliar with Kusari and its customs, let alone any of its business.
He had read many good reviews on the neuralnet about the "Big Dragon" transport that Kishiro built. He hoped the salesman would be able to tell him some more about this ship.
Michael smiled as the salesman asked him the question. "Oh, of course," he said, "It seems we're looking for a new ship. You see, my father and I have a beat up old Mammoth. Needless to say, it's not nearly of the quality of your ships."
"I'm Michael, by the way. Michael Alexandros. I was wondering if you could tell me about some of the features of this Big Dragon I have heard about. One of those gas miners out in Okinawa was telling me about how great it was. We need something that won't fall apart. Those Farmers Alliance pilots really seem to dislike us, you know what I mean?"
::he salesman nervously smiles and nods once:: "hai, the Farmer's can be hostile towards foreigners mr. Alexandros."
::with that he moves towards the ship are and with clap of the hand the doors open towards a docking bay where Big Dragon stays on display::
"There is an habit in practice by all Kusari. Our ships stay within our borders mr. Alexandros. But that is not always the case. Those that continue to supply us with foreign commodities find themselves entranced by our ships, and find them right in your spot. The showroom."
::he turns towards him and looks at him, speaking slowly:: "Will your ship take you to Kusari often Mr. Alexandros?"
"Oh, yes," Michael replied. "I volunteered to work on deliveries to Okinawa. I used to live out in the rocks and the view in Kusari is a needed change."
He walked around the Big Dragon admiring the fine engineering of the craft. "I'd like to see if I could get the corporation to get a bunch of these," he said, "But I'm not sure they would. Seems a lot better than our Mammoth though."
Turning back towards the salesman, Michael asked, "What sort of paperwork needs to be done to purchase one of these beauties?"
::The salesman twitches bit at the "bunch of these" but continues with peaceful tone::
"At the moment, no Big Dragons can be sold, as we are still dealing with amount of paperwork needed for this ship to fly with another flag, for another house."
::he smiled and continued::
"but.. It would be a shame to turn down such an interested buyer. Leave me your contact information mr. Alexandros and I will see to it that you are informed about a ship sale within next few weeks."
::He moved inside the blood dragon's cargo entrance::
"A tour and a simulator, so you don't walk empty handed? Noone walks out empty handed from Kishiro's shipyards."
