Iron Empire Offices

As much as I liked the Iron Empire system, I was not keen on waiting behind every mom and pop shop that wanted a chance to be with the Iron Empire, nor was I glad that these offices were used for much more than that. It created a place where so many people were crammed all into one place where I had to compete for a freaking spot just to see an official about making my company part of the Iron Empire.

Unlike my mentor before me, I wanted to grow the company past a simple smithing shop. I wanted to be able to create things where my abilities excelled. I wanted to make a place where this could become more than just a side business. To do that, I would need to have someone support me, or find a way to sustain myself. One of the places I thought of? The Iron Empire. A place that I had called makeshift home for a while now. A place where I found myself believing in its ideals.

Yes, I was known to make a few... incidents from time to time, but I felt that this place was still home. It was like being grounded from your parents. Only, I wouldn't really know what that is so not a good analogy for me honestly. Either way, I waited for this Miss, Lindberg who would be speaking to me about a contract.

So far, all I had been doing was waiting.

The question was, would I be able to wait forever, be denied, or approved for work here in the Empire?

Another business meeting, another possible commission, the droid thought to herself as she made her way towards the room where a contract between Cerberus Enterprises and the Iron Empire and thus, Iron Wrath Industries, was to be discussed.

"Hello Mr [member="Atheus"]," Eostre greeted the dark-haired organic male as she entered the meeting room dressed in a black woman's suit. "I am Eostre Lindberg, Iron Empire representative," she said introducing herself before sitting down.

"What does your company have to offer the Iron Empire?" she asked getting straight to the point. The droid had never been a fan of the idle chatter that organics were so fond of during such meetings. "Additionally, how willing is your company to work with the Iron Empire's nationalized companies?" Eostre continued giving Atheus little time to answer her previous question.

Well right to work? Good. As much as I enjoyed talking with others to try and open myself, or just talk to friends and allies, I wanted to work first. Work always came first. As she got right down to it, so did I. With the questions coming almost rapid fire from her, I waited till she was done speaking before I answered.

"Yes Ma'am. I am happy to work with other Iron Empire assets to create gear, and weapons for the empire. As of currently, I have aided in the construction of the IE-1 Grand Assault rifle, and the IE-2 guardsman SMG. We are also currently working with Iron Fury Industries with a creation of Armored personnel carriers."

Taking the datapad in my hand and sliding it across the table to the woman as I continued to speak about cerberus itself,

"However, the company itself creates weapons, armor, and trinkets or gear that have been altered with the force to provide more utilities to the item. Such as the Wraith Bows that are influenced to provide a telekinetic arrow to be fired at ranges thought to be inconceivable. Or boots that allow those not gifted with the force to run along walls and ceilings for a limited time."

I would allow the woman to look through the datapad as I spoke. Bringing up both the Wraith bows, the boots, a series of gloves that allowed easier technomancy, and even a set of armor that healed wounds as the person just stood there. I only had a few options that I could bring forward as others that I had were very limited at the moment for a larger force.

"Cerberus Enterprise is a company that prides itself on the creation of rare artifacts, or gear for others to use."

Eostre nodded and smiled at [member="Atheus"] as she listened to him answer her questions. Organics seemed to like it when she did that.

"Good, good," the droid maintained her smile as she picked up the datapad that had been slid towards her and skimmed through its contents. Not bad, she thought as scrolling down the page.

"I am pleased with what I have seen and heard so far," Eostre returned the datapad to Atheus when he had finished speaking. "The products your company produces are very interesting indeed," she continued.

"If the Iron Empire were to offer Cerberus Enterprises one of our nationalised companies, Iron Wrath's facilities for a project, would you be able to make use of the resources and produce some sort of Force-imbued starship weaponry exclusively for Iron Empire use?" she asked. "The Iron Empire has taken an interest in developing our naval vessels recently so I am sure our personnel would be thrilled to have access to new components for our vessels."

The project of creating force imbued weaponry for soldiers, warriors, and otherwise sages of the force was what I did best. And I worked well in that. It was with the proposition that the companies that ran the Naval power behind the Navy of the Iron Empire, and to create weapons that were altered by the force to provide more devastating weapons, was a project worthy of Cerberus Enterprise, and allow us to further our own research into starship technology, as well as vehicle creation. Nodding my head to the woman, I responded in kind.

"A more apt question would be what kind of technology we could create with those kinds of resources backing us. Cerberus would be more than welcoming to extend our hands into other fields for the Iron Empire, and intending to create vehicles and star ships. With the aid of the Iron Empire, we can reach that goal much more easily."

Pulling out a very small hand datapad that could easily be used as a calling device, I brought up a notepad of what I could take notes on, or anything of importance. Writing down to study more into starship weaponry, as well as vehicle technology. As well as hiring engineers for such fields.

"Cerberus would happy with any amount of support from the Empire. Any recourses would be provided, the only reason I fear for our negotiations is the price. To create new technology through the force takes time, as well as melding the magicks of the universe with technology. It could take some time for huge developments. However, the promise is there."
