Alicia was sat within the confines of the Fort, which was her fortress like home on the Hunter's Moon, Sojourn. She found herself sat in a room full of monitors, which displayed key information on several business sectors and markets, both on the public and black markets. It was a hive of information, that put the stock markets to shame, with the latest technology and data fully available for Alicia to pick and choose where to invest, when to buy and who to do business with.
Spaarti Creations was a corporation that held significant interest and understandably so. Any attention- bad or good- placed the company into the eye of the public, giving it exposure that was rare, especially given the size of the company in question. Being a modest tier four company, it was quite small in comparison to the other corporations in the Galaxy. Using the exposure given to the company during the Roche Incident, Alicia sensed that Particia wanted to pull out of the company whilst she could still make some money. It was a good business decision, one that she would silently toast to the leader of the Black Tie Syndicate.
She reviewed the bids that had taken place and was surprised by the offers that were streaming in. Alicia knew each individual, some personally and others from reputation alone. She had sold Chandrila DataTech to Taeli Raaf, only to buy the company back a few years later. She had had a drink with Danger Arceneau once or twice, although the opportunity to do business with the red head had alluded her until now.
Then there was the others. Galven Solomon had shown interest in doing business with Alicia, following the recent scandal involving Ri'ess-Emeritus Industries and the fall out after the Imperial Remnant collapsed above Carida. Speaking of the Imperial Remnant, she noticed that the ex Commodore, Caius Flavian, had involved himself. She found herself wondering if he would ever want to do business with her again. After all, she had tried to use underhand tactics to seize former Imperial assets for a quick buck
Alicia did not know Reshmar, Senator Varta or Matsu Ike personally, but the offers that had combined since the auction began indicated alliances were being formed, so that everyone could get a slice of Spaarti Creations. Already, Danger and her husband had used their influence to seemingly corner the auction. They were now in a strong position to win. But Alicia, whilst late to the proceedings, would try and compete with what was on offer. After all, she required Spaarti's cloning technology for the JN-4 project.
Settling down to send out transmissions to those already involved in the bidding war, Alicia begun to build her own bid...

//To Senator Varta; Senator Flavian.
Greetings, esteemed Senators. I have been following the recent auction for Spaarti Creations and I have noticed that you have placed significant bids on behalf of the Galactic Republic. Given the recent debacles that Spaarti Creations have been involved in, resulting in the recent scandals on Roche and the rights of clone campaign begun by anti-Republic protestors, it would seem a shame that this corporation would fall out of Republic hands.
Myself and Senator Flavian know each other well, from our previous business dealings when he served as Commodore in the Imperial Remnant. I believe that he can testify that I am a rather good business woman and that I would be a worthy CEO of Spaarti Creations. I am willing to devise a strategy to win Spaarti Creations, which would result in the company remaining sympathetic to the Republic, maintaining it's contracts that are now under threat if they fall into the hands of the other bidders participating in this auction.
I propose that we make a combined bid. With the 11,000,000cr proposed by the Government of Carida and the 45,000,000cr launched by the Senate Appropriation Committee, I would suggest combing both of your bids. If this is acceptable, I will place a 10,000,000cr bid, bringing our combined total to 66,000,000cr.
This would far exceed our competition, and knowing Particia Susan Garter personally, would secure Spaarti Creations for the three of us.
I look forward to your response.

As Alicia reclined in her seat to think, she was sure that she didn't actually want to do business with the Galactic Republic. It was why she had pulled out of Ri'ess-Emeritus Industries, with it's current CEO, Vitor Imperieuse, being a staunch pro-Republic supporter, something that she was not. But she had to respect her competition and she badly wanted Spaarti Creations, as it would accelerate her own plans for the revival of the JN Project.
Senator Varta and Senator Flavian did not know Alicia's anti-Republic sentiments. Gaining their favour, to secure Spaarti Creations, was worth the sacrifice. She had already outmaneuvered Flavian on the negotiation table once before and she was confident that she would be able to secure her place as CEO of the company, if both Senators agreed to her proposal and Particia agreed to sell the company to them.
But she had other ways to secure Spaarti Creations. Leaning forward, Alicia moved to craft her next proposal.
//To Galven Solomon; Matsu Ike
Greetings, Mr Solomon, Miss Ike. Both of you may remember me from our previous business arrangements. Miss Ike has shares into Chandrila DataTech, my first ever corporation and Mr Solomon has expressed interest in doing business together in the past.
As it stands, your opposition has launched significant bids for Spaarti Creations. Using their influence, contacts and wealth, as it stands, you have no hope of persuading Miss Garter, the current owner of the company, to sell to either to you.
I have seen that you have already combined your bids to the sum total of 14,250,000cr. I have enough wealth and influence with Miss Garter to sell to the three of us, if you were to accept my proposal. I am willing to forward 40,000,000cr to join your bids, bringing up our combined total to 55,250,000cr altogether. This would bring us above the bids of your competitors and secure Spaarti Creations for the three of us.
I look forward to your response.
Alicia Drey.\\
