Gideon pursed his lips slightly. “I admit, I’ve not been to New Cov personally, but you’re right. I could certainly ascertain what it is that NCBC requires from a locale on Kijimi. Perhaps a tour of your home facilities is in order?”

It couldn’t hurt. Besides, New Cov was in neutral space, just south of the Galactic Alliance but far enough away that neither the Senate nor the corporate elite had laid claim to it. Gideon figured there was little harm in visiting, especially since Liin was willing to make the jump to Kijimi. At least this way, neither one was going into the partnership blindly.

The commander gave the CEO an approving nod.

“I’ll bring a few of my staff along as well, to take notes; an architect, a financial backer from the Ashiga Clan, and perhaps one of my benefactor’s scientists. Would that be alright with you, Miss Terallo?” If not, just himself and the cursory security detail of First Order agents would suffice. He wasn’t familiar with how NCBC handled proprietary secrets and on-site tours; if they were anything like the Corporate Sector Authority, the mere thought of bringing along a team beyond the realm of personal security would be out of the question.

He hoped Liin was much more willing than the Corpos.

It does not surprise me to hear that he had not been to New Cov. There are plenty that had not even heard of the world, let alone had the means or desires to visit. New Cov is not exactly what one would call a tourist destination; given the deadly environment outside of the city domes.

I bow my head to him in agreement at the relayed request. I am not at all shocked that he would like to have a team travel with him to tour the facility. After all if they are to host a facility of their own, then they should know what would be required. "I do not have any issue with you bringing a team along with you. I am sure that they would love to see the facility as well." They will not have full access, of course. No one does except for a few select individuals.

"I believe it to be more beneficial if you and your team visit New Cov first before I am to visit Kijimi. Unless you believe otherwise. I am open to either scenario."

Nora gave the Queen a polite smile. And as she was about to speak, the Queen continued, touching onto a part of New Cov that was dear to her heart. And that was it's neutrality. Being virtually unknown by the superpowers in the Galaxy helped to keep New Cov safe. It allowed them to operate to their heart's content and allowed them to spend their economic boom on more important things than war. Sure they had a small military force of their own, bolstered greatly by Strill Industries and their incredible Mandalorian warriors. But they were more of a deterrent than anything else. New Cov had not stood in any one government's cross hairs for centuries.

"I've come for a bit of both, actually, Your Highness. Diplomacy in gaining an ally, and business with our products. However New Cov has no plans on joining any large government for the foreseeable future. Our neutrality has not steered us wrong, and so there is no reason to mess with success."

Naturally, Kalantha understood Nora's sentiment. Naboo itself had been much like New Cov in terms of foreign affairs, but the queen had also witnessed the underside of that same coin. Neutrality was a gift just as much as it was a curse. It paints a target, and sooner or later, the wolves come hunting for a meal. For Naboo, it had chosen to protect itself not by joining a larger faction, but becoming the center of its own.

She would keep this to herself, though. Sharing such inflammatory ideology would only hinder what could certainly be a prosperous relationship for the Republic.

"Naboo would certainly be interested in a formal diplomatic relationship with New Cov," Kalantha said. The smile she wore was genuine. "Perhaps I can arrange a meeting between us." Rectress Shineke Dravenné would love nothing more, the queen thought. And certainly Joran Del-Finn would be chomping at the bit to get his hands on another project to further his campaign goals of ousting Charleston Monoroco and taking office as Minister of Commerce.

Such fun games to play at the Life Day retreat.

A smile formed on his face. He nodded at her arrangement. “We will come to New Cov first,” Gideon said. “Meet your people, get a stronger feel for what’s needed on Kijimi. Then, we’ll await your arrival.” He kept his demeanor professional, but inside Gideon was beaming. A partnership with NCBC was an incredible boon for his benefactors, who would soon be enjoying the benefits of biomolecule technology.

The First Order, the Diarchy, the Commonwealth - all three nations slept in the same bed. Gideon enjoyed being one of the few who can tuck them in nicely at the end of the day with a clear conscience.

I bow my head to him as confirmation. I am not unfamiliar with tours of my facilities to potential clients, afterall. It is quite a common practice and one that I never defer to anyone else. I rather enjoy this aspect of it. I find it to be akin to showing off a new project.

"Wonderful. Just send me word of when you and your team will like arrive and I will have everything prepared."

I have another sip of my drink, finishing it off. Instead of asking for a refill, I merely set the empty glass on a server's tray as they pass by.

"What is the weather like on Kijimi? I should at least arrive prepared. New Cov is rather warm and humid within the domes. But it is not at all uncomfortable."

Nora smiled and dipped her head at the prospect. Gaining allies was always a good thing for it helps to stave off any attacks. For if there was at any point in her lifetime that New Cov was to be under the control of one of the super powers, it would surely be the result of a hostile takeover. However there was little to no sign of that happening in the near future.

"That would be delightful. I am certain that such an alliance would prove beneficial for both sides." She looks up to Joran and gives him a bit of a sly smile. In some ways he was using her for his own political gain. But she didn't mind so much. He was learning and learning well! It was the least that she could expect from the man.
