Supply Drive

[Jaster Awaud]

[member="Seanna Vel"]

Jaster had requested an audience with one of the only food production provider in his quadrant of space. The planet of Val'hala was growing quickly, Jaster and his Merchant Guild was the cause of this. The planet was enormous, the food production was just enough to feed the planet. This was why Jaster needed to look outside, he was planning to build colonies and outpost in the Unknown Region. For the endever to truely work though, Jaster would need enough food to supply them long enough to produce their own. Some of the planets were so obscure that Jaster wasn't even sure if they could produce any kind of food.

He was ready to be willing to offer any price for this women's supply. He didn't know much about her really, and his job took much out of him, exspecily working with mostly men so this meeting was different then his past few. His office was located in a large building in the capital city of Olympus, a rising Mega City like Corasunt or Nar Shaada.

Just what had she gotten herself into, now with the choas of the galaxy at hand. One thing that made her step into the area of food, could it be that she saw something that others haven't. Now coming a love of something deeper rooted, that was of plants and nature itself. Even now she had to find a away of fitting into a bigger piece of the business world.

Letting herself take a walk towards the building of her next meeting. Hoping that thes goes as well as some of the other business agreements have went and partnerships. After all she wasn't only doing this for herself but for those that had came under the company she was now the CEO. Now as she smoothed out her double pleated suit top, with pants and boots that showed that femimine body of hers. Having her hair pulled tightly in a bun to give off that profetal business lady. Now doing how to speak was something that had learn, to keep from it tame in business.

Even so she keep her wits about her to the fact that there always danger, then again how dangerous could a agriculture company have going on not much right. It was more than that no matter what or where one had to be aware of what going on around oneself. Reaching the building she could help but see how it was made, among other notes of secuarity of the place. Nodding at those that seem to belong with the place. Reaching the office of the one that wanted to talk business with her company.

It was all about supply and demand wasn't it simple right. This very thought could only give off a slight grin at that very thought of being simple. Letting her hand find a way to knock before a young miss came to ask if she could help her. After which she would then take it upon herself to tell [member="Jaster of Clan Awaud"] that his next appoint was their.

"Miss Vel is here to see you, sir."

Jaster had just returned from his visit to the Orbital Platform that would act as the Trading Nod for all of Wild Space and the Unknown Region. He was still in his military attire and truely just didn't have the time to change. He userally made more time for meetings when he rand his single company. Now, as Viceroy of the UTC, there was not such thing as extra time, everything was planned and even sleeping was strictly planned. To think Jaster was once a small fleet admiral of a backwater planet for the Mandalorian Military was a distant memory.

This was when his assistance stated his next meeting was here, Jaster figured that a small your of the central building of the Trade Building would be fitting. Jaster never really had time to acturaly walk the halls of this minor city in the Megacity planet of Val'hala, again time just always got in the way.

Jaster stood up when the women entered the room, Jaster nodded his head and introduced himself, "Greetings I'm Jaster Awaud, Viceroy of the Unknown Trade Conglomerate as well as CEO of Umbrella Interest, it is a pleasure to meet you."

He put his hand out to shake the hand of the women.

 

[Seanna Vel]

Letting out a small but slight breath, before her own hand existed to [member="Jaster of Clan Awaud"], "Pleasure to met you Mr. Awaud.", Own eyes of blues didn't miss anything knowing that there was more to this one that met the eyes. Seeing that his wearing of the uniform told that he had training. It would make this meeting more interesting for sure. Just to make it all more important to watch her wording. After all she didn't want her own background out in the open. Working so hard to became this respectable business woman.

In her own hand shake one would tell many things not just from the one she was handing her hand to but also, that of herself, not having the softest of hands, that was from some of herself still be stubborn to still do some of the ground work herself. It was just something about the smell of the dirt and the sun upon her face. It was a firm shake staying she wasn't one that would back down for what felt was right for her company in this matter or life itself.

"Miss Seanna Vel, CEO of Salliche Agriculture Corporation "

 

[Jaster Awaud]

Jaster felt the firm shake of [member="Seanna Vel"] hand, she seemed capable and would most likely be a tough nut to crack, but Jaster wasn't in the creaking mood. He shook it back, but more relaxed and softer, he didn't need her to be uncomfortable in this place. The Trade Building was constructed so that all the members and associates of the UTC could feel comfortable as well as other Merchants. He walked around his desk and walked to the door.

He stopped and looked back at Ms. Vel, "I've been cramped in a shuttle for most of the day, would you care for a walk around the building, I could use the time to stretch my legs."

Jaster would like to see how she did with negotiating outside the office. Most buisness people became more uncomerftable with negotiating outside the officer, but to be honest Jaster planned to give an even negosiation. He just enjoyed testing people, and he really needed to go for a walk, cramped shuttles were truely no fun.

 

[Seanna Vel]

Raising the one eye brow that had her Kiffar marking on it of three black lines over the eye itself and to her cheek bone. It then came a curve of her own blacken lips that matched the markings. This one sure isn't one for normal set down lets small talk. No this was different then she was also different herself. After all could one say a meeting had to be inside four walls with some decorations that only was of the one office. After which time, she spoke in her own words again.

"A walk, It would be my pleasure", after all he was the one that had set this meeting up. In a way she would have to play his game or was it something more he was also testing to see how she would react to being thrown for a loop or in this case, something different then would go with it. Be adaptable was something she grow up with as a saying on the small ranch that spend her childhood on.

"If I may say that I find offices a bit stuffy,", heck be it all there she goes insulting his place even before getting down to business. "mmm..MMm I mean to say Sir that you have a nice office very beautiful and tastefully done up." , hoping that she done good enough damage control.

Jaster looked at [member="Seanna Vel"], she was trying and Jaster could always find that admirable in a person. So as he looked at her he smiled and let out a small chuckle then looked forward, "My assistant decorated it, I don't have the heart to tell her I don't like it, plus she's the daughter of an old friend," Jaster continued to walk down the hallways until they reached an opening to a balcony with a view, he then stretched out his arms in the open and relaxed, "Please excuse my appearance, one of the hazard of the job, as you can see, we are not completely finished with all our development."

He would soon get to buisness, but he felt that he should feel this person out to see how far she could be pushed and plan the negosiations. This was a key plan for any negosiation, Jaster didn't look to get on top of this deal, but if he could save exspencive then the Board wouldn't blow it on him. Being Viceroy had its perks, but not all was a cake walk as he was not the lone dictator in this endever.

He took a deep breath of the Val'hala air, then spoke, ,"So shall we get down to Buisness?"

 

[Seanna Vel]

Giving a light chuckle to his own words about how the office was decorated. This gave her enough time to gather her thoughts to herself. Letting once again. More this time she just let her eyes scan as they went down a hallway. Then came the opening up. As if it was a gate way to what seem to be his joy, what this one wanted to show her.

Nothing escaped her eyes. To the fact it was a busy of what one could see of active, it was only then did she want to note the ships. It had everything from ships that seem to be carrying passages from other parts of the region. Along with the locals as she let herself get taken in by the ships going by some that seem to be in a hurry others seem to be at a more slower pace.

Turning from the busy of the traffic flow. "Yes by all means, let us get down to business." , not wanting to see very figure to get this talk on the way. After all one like her didn't want to seem to forceful, knowing she was the one holding some of the card, in this case a lot of them. It was now up to her how she would play them.

"So you have growing pains,", saying with a little of a softness as if she was truly concern for these people of his.

Jaster looked a little confused, he was rather talk for being a human, even by Mandaloran standards he was still tall. This though, didn't mean he was having growing pains, just soar from the shuttle ride. "No ma'am, I've asked you here because I'm going through a food shortage, two of my facilities hav not received their food rations and I've had to lower rations twice just this week,"

He looked over to a building that was still under construction, it had made more progress since he was last on this balcony. Jaster stood at 6'5" and was considers darker then most Mandalorians. Most people found him intimidating, and yet this women seemed interested in the skyline and all the finer details. She was an interesting person and Jaster couldn't get a right read on her, just she wanted something big from the UTC.

"We also have plans to construct some colonies in the Unknown Region, for that and the problems home, our food shortage is reaching critical levels," Jaster turned to look her in the eyes, "In exchange we are willing to pay and negosiate other means of payment."

 

[Seanna Vel]

It was the look on his face as having to look up. Not if she hadn't taken note of how much taller then she was, after all in her line of business she met all kind of beings. It was how to show them that even size wouldn't cause her to back down on her asking prices. After all the producers she worked for also had mouths to feed.

Giving off a little blush for how her wording had been taken. "Oh shoot the lizard monkey....", stopping herself from even farther damaging herself to this one.

"Forgive me I wasn't speaking of your physical make up, not that size of one matters, I..mm..I.." letting out a long sight. Not that she hadn't noted his size before. Knowing with his uniform what known about mandarins. looking away from him for herself to regain herself. Turning her head back to face him now. What I met to say is it seem that you have a lot of mouths to feet its a figure of speech sometime it slips out before I have a change to stop it."

Stopping herself from biting her bottom lip she hadn't gotten this way with any other of her business dealing before. What made this one so much different then the many others through out the galaxy that she deal. No that she wasn't a bit taken back, far from it courteous maybe.

"Now how much are we talking, I was given a report from my sectary before landing here."

In Jaster gaze at this female, she seemed to be acting slightly diffrent then before. Jaster didn't know females vary well, though his adopted daughter was a very violent person, he just believed all females were that way. His old boss in the Healers Guild was also condencending and somewhat of a hassle to work with when she became stubborn. Next to political negosiations and security work in his youth, this was his first negosiations of buisness with a women.

When she asked for the amount of money Jaster would be willing to pay it caught him slightly off guard. "Ah, right," Jaster paused for a second to read the figures off his data pad, "Umm, about 1.2 million credits a shipment, as well as partial ownership of Heklor, once it becomes colonized and security can be set up, original data from satellites are small, but planet can seems very fertile for farming."

Jaster then sent the data over to her for analysis and decision, "My scientist haven't been able to land yet, but plans are in the making."

 

[Seanna Vel]

Telling that by the way he looked at her he was maybe a bit puzzled with her own behavior. Not that she was going to loose it right there. No she would finished this up in the business lady way. It wasn't the first time this had taken place, that she let slip something of her real personality that of being from a ranch on the little planet that maybe no one heard of but for her race being that of trackers. For there power in reading off people and objectives.

It was more shown on her face then she wanted it to be when said something about a planet unknown what would be on it. "Now, Mr. Awaud this just turn into a more interesting they I care to admit, if I can speak frankly. " as if she was back as child running the hills of her family ranch getting some new breeding stock.

"I have a feeling there is more to this planet, and why you would speak of it so freely to someone like me, just meeting for the first time."

The money price was fair enough but something more had to be said about this planet if one only knew the gold mine a planet if it turn out to be good for growing crops on or even raising different breeds of animals on could be. When more so then often would see minerals or other kind of produce, no she one to see the whole picture it was getting that price that could only be done by cutting out that middle man as much as possible. Deeply in thought she was now so much, she only way bring her out was his voice or had it been a tap on her shoulder had she really been spacing of that deeply.

"Yes the price of credits is fair enough, but about this planet...", not that she wasn't panting because of its many possibly think of a planet that hasn't been touch.

Jaster never had been in a negosiation with someone who always seemed to be deep in though. It was a strong Defence against Jasters normal reads on people, she always seemed to think of a hundred things a second, nearly throwing Jaster off of his read. The only thing he was really caught his attention was that she was interested in the unspoiled planet.

"Well my father once told me, on our clan ranch on Mandalore, to trust my gut, and from what I've discovered is that you alone cornor the market in deep space agriculture, your company is just getting on its feet and so far monopolize every transported food from Corascant, to nearly the whole core world, now I wish to see you expand to the Colony Worlds and the Mid-Rim," Jaster turned back to the view, the skyline was changing, even more building were developing all thanks to the trade and jobs of he offered, "Our data of the planet is minor at best, so much life on the surface, bio and thermal scans only read constant life on the planet, droids we sent to the surface crashed and it could take months to send another, I speak of it soo freely because we know little to nothing of this world or its creatures."

 

[Seanna Vel]

Giving a smile to this she had to to say that he did his home work but had she don't enough on him. One could never go back to question this all, but to push forward what one had at her finger tips.

"I understand the unknown but also of one can't be be to careful, no could they, after all most important was life, right?", as if she tried to question asking a question back.

Came addressing the understanding of where one grew up, with me I learn early on how to deal with hire hands, from my grandparents owning a Nerf ranch on my home planet of Kiffex.", smiling as she looked out.

Jaster truely didn't know much about the Unknown Region, only what his scans and pictures told him. He grew up on Mandalore, his father was a political figure for his clan and his uncle was a farmer. He enjoyed his childhood, but being the old he was groomed to be a worrier and became a good one. Yet he never learned about the Unknown Region like those who lived in the boarder region, and when he set his eyes on one of the planets for the first time Jaster as truely amazed.

"Truely I don't know anymore then what my data tells me, the history of the Unknown Region of truely a mystery to me, as to why the unknown wasn't exsplored unroll now is a conundrum I don't understand, but my scientist and researchers are some of the best in their fields, they will do their best to discover the unknown, as for learning my leadership, I was also raised on a ranch on Mandalore, before I joined the Defence Force and became a Feild Marshel and then was exiled."

Jaster knew the story, he didn't wish to relive it through thoughts of his past.

 

[Seanna Vel]

Exiled now that you don't hear everyday, then again one didn't hear they was from a mandolorian planet. Giving a nod which was very interesting that they both had some kind of ranches. "I see on the planet if you will keep me inform of what development from the out come be more then welling to take a look at the place myself. "

Looking back out over the building as much as she like the busy of the place like this she still like the quiet of nice place with not very many people around.

"Should I be concern of those that Exiled coming after you, after all if that the case it would be bad for my company doing business with you and your company, please understand I very protective when it comes to my company its holdings.", as she looked up at him straight in his eyes with a concern look on her face.

Jaster smiled, seems she like everyone else didn't read up on their Mandlorian culture. Then again, he didn't know a Mandalorian warrior willing to divulge such things in public records or even archived. Jaster was banished by the previous Manda'lor, the new one probably didn't even know why Jaster was exiled, but he carried the mark, as such he was treated like an outside.

"I wouldn't worry about them, most who I served with died in the war with the One Sith years ago, the Manda'lor who issued the exile was replaced some years ago, I'm no longer treated as a Mandalorian, just an outsider and in some cases even less, there will be no revenge taken apon me or my company, I'm just not allowed to return to Mandalore without an invite."

Jaster continued to watch the personal vehicles pass by and fly near each other. Mandalore was an old planet, yet this place was almost as bustling as Nar Shadaa, or Coruscant, all because of the soon journey into the Unknown Region. It was quite amazing how safisicated and advanced this planet had become, holding nearly over 20 billion people. He stopped thing about it to answer Seannas first question.

"As for keeping you informed, I'll do my best to include you in the mission once we finish making the plans."

 

[Seanna Vel]

Crossing her arms as if to say that she believed him for now. So all there was left was to wrap this little meeting up unless he had something else to want to to talk about. As she looked towards him again.

"20 million that is a lot of mouths to feed, so here my next question is there any planets in this system or near by that could start producing as your not the only one with mouths to feed in this galaxy." thinking its going to be better doing this way. Now its not the time to go into the details. It was then that she look to see what his answer would be. It would be the next step to see where this took them next.

It seemed Jaster was starting to get this meeting to a close. This Ms. Vel was an interesting character, Jaster would have to keep an update on her, though his interests was purely buisness. Jaster had to think about if for a second, not only did he have to feed the member img parties, but also 4 billion souls both in the Trade Plaza, and the Orbital Trade Station, there were also 3 trading ports and a colony that was to be planned. Jaster reassured himself that this money was needed to be spent so he could run his alliance of companies.

As for what planets were available, Jaster could only think of one. A developing planet just outside of this system and still in the same sector of space. "As for available planets, the only one that comes to mind is, Varunda 4, they have been exporting tree wood for quite some time, I've been thinking of taking over their trade, I'm sure they have some open fields by now for your farming."

The wood that the planet was exporting was of good quality, Jaster could make a pretty credit selling those things to companies for luxury liners. For some reason, people with money like wood finishes, Jaster was more of a metallic catwalk kinda guy.

 

[Seanna Vel]

Taking what he said beginning to type on the pad as it begin to come into shape. Bring up some of the planets history and other weather patterns and what not. Which she would have to look at later as the data came flooding through to be save to a drive. Even so putting it down as she looked at him once again.

"Yes that sounds like a good plant to start producing on, for a food.", as she thought deeper.

"Salliche Agriculture Corporation would be more then happy to set up and start farms even have some workers, you know jobs yes we could create some jobs. , after all one could only guess all the little parts that went into run and producing such food goods like herself. Learning a lot as they went on.

"So is there anything else you wish to know or do some undertaking on." , as it was she need to find a good drinking place on this planet, boy she need to have one. But that would come later after all she wanted to do business first.
