Purple Rain

[Matsu Ike]

Well sometimes you found yourself in strange places, really she hadn't thought it would be needed but given the expansion of their offices and work, the resources required and over all the training. She didn't want to go against one like Danger or her company... really she didn't want to fight just expand and work to better help the people who needed it and Sasori provided plenty of all of their things. Working to expand the products they have that could work on some of the things like the converters and sigils they had constructed, the factory ships that were self sustaining and the massive beast of a colonization ship designed to go out and make the stations they were designing to allow people to work and live out in the frontier. Never knew what you might be able to find since the mapping network was up and running working to show them new worlds and sectors of space few could think about. "Well it is time, lets go and get the mistress of trade on our side."

Saffron was here to be the bridge from one company to the next for Arceneau Trade company. She sat in an office, waiting for the next appointment.

To prepare, she had a tea service set up, with the best tea from the local sector. This meeting would take place with a company that they had dealt with before; Sasori.

Much of current work involved the Business Bazaar as well as that with the Oiran Guildhouse, but this was an opportunity to expand on that.

For now, Saffron would wait. Once the guest arrived, they would be ushered in for their comfort and they would begin.

Matsu looked at the people there as she seemed to be expected and that was both nice and uneasy... mostly because she wasn't that important that she merited it. She didn't think her arrival should require something as she came forward with her hands clasped and her forearm datapad and holoprojector that they could use to show some of the products including some of the newest things they had been making. "Thank you for seeing me." She bowed her head and the petite jedi master was ready for anything with this, getting some support and work to continue to expand Sasori to levels few others reach was a very nice thing she was looking forward to seeing. There was even the scent of tea in the air while she stood there for a moment offering a small look. She hoped Danger and her people would see the value in what she was working with.

Saffron would give a small incline of her head in welcome. She was cordial and pleasant, offering a "Namaste," in welcome. Things usually were rather hectic, but keeping an eye on things is what allowed Arceneau Trade to grow as it has.

"My pleasure, Miz Ike." Saffron would state, offering a seat for the woman to enjoy. That was one thing about having a Companion as a representative, one would always expect privacy and hospitality.

"Would you like some tea?" she offered first. Depending on Ike's answer, she would pour a cup for her guest and then one for herself.

"yes please. Thank you." She moved and sat down bowing to be respectful with a look around. It was always interesting to see other companies and how they did their offices. Everything about them was the more fun she imagined compared to the fairly simple one she used in her main research lab. Just a chair and table surrounded by projectors for holograms. "I am glad you could see me, I was worried Danger would be to busy." Which she was but she was meeting with the next best thing. "We have hopefully made some products that will appeal to Danger for some of the things, our new factories and self sustaining designs have helped cut many of our costs."

Saffron gave a small, pleasant smile.

"it is a pleasure," the companion replied, giving an incline of her head. "Yes, Mrs. Arceneau has been fairly occupied, but I am pleased to be part of the few allowed to carry on in her place." She was an associate of the conglomerate, and as such, her decisions carried weight.

"Please," Saffron began, offering the cup of tea to Matsu, " do elaborate on your new products." She encouraged the woman to explain more what Sasori's new products were.

Perfect and she could work with this now bringing up her palm holo as the hardlight display came. "One of our first things we have is our hardlight projectors, solid enough holograms to function as walls and dividers to change up facilities. We've used them for randomized security measures that won't be on all of the designs. We've also developed specialized sensors for preventing stealth users from getting into and through ships and facilities." She brought up the displays of the walls and projectors for the hardlight tech like the clothing the dancers could use in venues. "We have been working on large scale galactic mapping with production lines of stations and probes that can be deployed across the galaxy and show in real time changes as needed. We were going for making new star maps but self replicating and repairing technology that can update automatically is difficult. Still we've managed to create and with some help have a colonization ship that will be able to visit and establish checkpoints to explore the companion galaxies and beyond. Though the use of seeder ships designed to sustain themselves for decades at a time." The project endeavors for the Saratai with its support ships were there as well as the implementation for the different tech they made. "We've also been working to develop trade hubs for new worlds so companies with interests in selling can get a foothold in these new locations that are discovered, hospital stations and ships, newer medical technology, anti-force user technology and some improved versions of the older equipment we have developed."

We've also developed specialized sensors for preventing stealth users from getting into and through ships and facilities.

The hardlight technology was very interesting. In fact, likely something that the Guildhouse would enjoy. However, it was the specialized sensors that piqued her interest.

With a small smile, and an incline of her head, Saffron asked, "Could you please elaborate about the specialized sensors? How do they work?" Saffron may not be well versed on what sort of powers there were out there, but she knew making sure that being aware of stealthers moving in and out of their guild-house would be beneficial.

Security was paramount.

"Yes of course, the sensors are two fold. A sensor in the floor that detects changes in weight and a small sensor that checks camera's in the area. If it is registering mass with no visual then it sounds an alarm. A simple process and tricking it with illusions is nearly foolproof." She said nearly because there were always flaws with things and systems. Regardless of how they are built and went a little further not knowing the woman's knowledge. "As with most stealth fields and force based illusions they can make a being invisible to sensors... but they cannot change their mass. I could make an illusion I was a wookiee but I would still weight the same to a scale as I do now."

 

[Saffron]

Saffron gave a small nod. None the less, those would be rather hand. It would be a good investment to be sure. A pause, and she brought the cup of tea up to take another sip.

"We've also been working to develop trade hubs for new worlds so companies with interests in selling can get a foothold in these new locations that are discovered, hospital stations and ships, newer medical technology, anti-force user technology and some improved versions of the older equipment we have developed."

Recalling what Miss Ike had stated earlier, she then went on to ask her to elaborate on that. "And you mention new trade hubs for new locations out in the black? What locations specifically?"

"So far we have been mapping towards the companion galaxies further out then Besh or Aurek. We created a cartographer relay line that charts and works to map new hyperspace routes. We've had some success in improving the speed of the meshnet in the Chiloon rift. It is still dangerous but we are collecting data to hopefully find a way to predict the plasma movement before routes open up. The mining materials in the nebula even after all these years is still showing new planet sized ore rich chunks. The miners there are mostly independent and proud since they have fun refineries and tugs for centuries. They might not like somethings but flying in the rift is dangerous with communications and beacons being the first thing to so if you are not careful." That was something different but the cartographer relays worked marvels as a just send them out and see what is out there. "We've also developed small stations we can man with droids to send out for mapping in our astrometrics labs. Te hop is safer courses in the expanse between the companion galaxies similar to the strain leading towards Rishi and Kamino with its locator beacons."

 

[Saffron]

Saffron gave a nod.

"Then in that case I would like to have Arceneau Trade be involved in the trade hubs." the companion began. She set her cup of tea down. "We would also like to invest in those stealth detectors." she added, giving [member="Matsu Ike"]
a warm, cordial smile.

"Would there be anything that Sasori would be interested in utilizing Arceneau Trade or any of their subsidiaries?" she asked, wondering if perhaps they could have mutual benefits to this transaction.

"Crystals." matsu said it sitting there while she thought about it and well they had what they needed operations wise. "We are always looking for new sources of crystal and have the means to refine it. If you know of locations where they can be mined we can always use those." The rest as they might say was the deal and investing in the trade hubs would come in handy. More investment in the sensors would be handy as she was looking to use them as a permanent fixture on as many different ships as possible. "THank for the investment, we shall use it wisely and get to you everything. Hub locations currently and sensors for whatever you require."

 

[Saffron]

[member="Matsu Ike"]

Saffron gave a nod.

"Crystals." well they certainly were constantly prospecting with Browncoat Arms & Industrial. The Companion would give a nod.

"We can share that information from our prospecting scouts on any new interesting locations for crystals that are being discovered." an extension of her hand would be given to seal the deal.

"We will await the items and enjoy our mutually beneficial arrangement."

Matsu looked at her with a nod and that was the best they could hope for while she extended her hand to the woman and shook it firmly but with some gentle feeling. "Thank you, it will arrive with haste." They had been working on new methods for shipping and transport so she was more then hapy to handle it as needed. A small smile when she moved a little towards the door. They could make this become largely beneficial in time and Matsu clasped her hands behind her back ready to go and push Sasori forward more with some new ideas she had going for it.
