The Mirdirmorut Summit

[Ravenfire]

Location: Mirdirmorut HQ, Westralis.

Rex was finalising the plans for a Business summit at his HQ. With his new material and the new droid brains under construction it was about time to finally do a summit. His clan a'lor was going to show up to represent Mandal Arms. Supposedly the man had invited more people along but hadn't told him who. He was sitting in a conference room with the Captain of his security forces at his side. He was going over some paper work that was in front of him before people started showing up.

"So captain how are the men?" Rex would ask not looking up. "They are good sir." Came a gruff reply from the captain in heavy armour. "Excellent, how are the Ant droid and how fares our new operations?" "The ant droids are a wonderful asset sir as for our little venture, word is they are going to collapse into the CIS." Rex looked upset by that information "Really, kark well I guess I won't be returning then." "You knew the risks, Sir." Rex would nod "Indeed I did. Are our forces ready." "They are sir and happy to be ready for you." "Excellent tell me when Kaine gets here would you." "Of course sir." Then there was a few noise coming from Rex's Commlink. The captain was relaying the orders.

Rex had received word of Kaine's arrival well before the man had arrived. He picked up a bottle that had been sitting on the table and grabbed two of the glasses sitting there. He poured out two drinks and waited as his security forces let Kaine through as soon as the mando walked through the door he asked for alcohol. Rex smiled he wasn't in his armour today he was the host he couldn't be, plus his forces were enough to protect him. However Kaine was in true mando tradition.

Rex walked over and handed the man one of the glasses. "That should be strong enough to sate you without completely inebriating you." Then he took a sip himself. "Please take a seat, so when will your friends be joining us?" He asked he wanted his forces to be ready. "In any case I am glad you came here today. I wanted your opinion on that new device you wanted it is still in the planning stages, but I was wondering if we could maybe make more than one. It seems like a very useful device. I would mind keeping some for my company and even selling them off at some point potentially." Rex would say. The captain would say in his position, however he would be relaxed because everyone within the company knew they could trust the man.

Rex would see Kaine looking at the bottle. "Go for it Kaine, I have plenty more where that came from. I have actually gotten a lot more used to alcohol since I join this Clan." Rex would then have a look at data pad. "Excellent I am happy to finally be able to sign up with you guys." He then saw Kaine look around the room. "It is a nice place I have here, thanks to our clan. Nice people we have and all of the rest."

Then Rex finally said "Kaine you just ignored two of my questions. The first one was do we make more of those NO boxes? Because I was interested in maybe having one or two for my company." Then Rex paused to have another sip. "The other one was when are the people we are meeting supposed to be arriving? I wanted to know so my forces don't just shoot them onsite. You know my guards can get paranoid at times especially since I have put us on lock down while I am having these meeting can't just have anyone come in." Rex would then wait to see what Kaine would say.

[Errreembuhr]

The Wookiee wasn't sure what to expect of this meeting on Westralis, but he knew to be prepared for anything when the Mandalorians were involved. While the Coalition had been on friendly terms with them, his last encounter with them had been on Onderon in their rebellion, in which the men of Clan Raxis supported the rebels who had opened fire on his aid ships almost on sight. They came very close to taking him out that day, a state he was aiming to avoid on this day in particular, as with most days.

His cruiser was of Mandalorian design, something he considered may be a point of conversation between any he may meet at this conference, as was his shuttle, which he sat in now as the cruiser exited hyperspace in orbit over the Mandalorian planet. Anything could happen here, and he was taking precautions. A squadron of dropships were prepared, as were battle droids to fill them, though they would remain here barring an absolute emergency.

All but one, however. Talus would be joining him at the conference, both as a bodyguard and as an example of EODD technology. Both came with an EO-1, the droid with his in a holster at the hip and the Wookiee in a holster strapped to his right thigh. The shuttle had been loaded with various products of his company, hoping to get the eye of others at the conference. After all, it was common practice to want to test out weaponry before making a purchase of even a single unit, let alone hundreds.

"Opening a channel with ground control," the Tach-series droid stated as they began their departure from the hangar. "Transmitting identification code and requesting permission to land."

As Errreembuhr nodded silently, Talus asked, "I do not mean to speak out of turn, Sir, but is it wise to do business with these Mandalorians?"

"You always speak out of turn, Talus," the Wookiee replied in his native tongue, the tone not a scolding one, but more friendly and curious than anything. "And yes, I do. It won't only be Mandalorians, either, or at least I don't think so. When I attended the summit on Hapes there were precious few Hapans present, primarily folks from foreign corporations. But since this is Mandalorian space I do think they will be highly present."

"I see. I suppose vigilance in this case is unwarranted. These Mandalorian hosts are not the same from Onderon."

"Vigilance is always warranted, Talus. Vigilance is in your programming after all. It's what kept you operational through Hapes and Onderon both despite our losses in the latter. That said, don't draw your weapon unless asked or unless absolutely necessary. We can't afford to cause an incident here and lock the company out of potential business."

"Of course, Sir, understood."


[member="Rex Taff"] | [member="Kaine Australis"]

 

[Ravenfire]

"Sir we are receiving codes for a clearance to land." The captain would say. "Whose codes?" Rex would ask if they were his there would be trouble "A company called EODD sir." Rex nodded "Accept the codes and allow them to land, make sure to escort whoever it is here. Also allow them to bring as many guards as they wish. We might be running security but at the very least I will be civil enough to allow them to have what resources they need." "Understood."

By the time [member="Errreembuhr"] ship would land there would be a armed escort in light armour ready to bring him to the conference room. Back in the room "Are we expecting anyone else Kaine or will this be everyone present today?" Rex would ask looking at some of the stuff he had brought in with him. "Some days I wish my scientist would hurry up with their ideas but at least we got our new material out. That makes me happy."

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen leaned back in his seat as he gazed through the viewport of his ship. In terms of royal ships, the Twilight Vixen wasn't exactly an awe inspiring sight. Certifiably ancient, the YT-1930 was of course retrofitted to keep from falling apart in space, but beyond that, it saw few changes from its original design, boasting only a pair of forward guns in addition to its standard top turret. As such, it was with a bit of relief that Vulpesen clicked on his comms and hailed the control station. "This is the Twilight Vixen, requesting permission to land at Mirdirmorut. Transmitting identification codes now." Even as he announced his presence, he found himself jumping as a fairly armed shuttle appeared on his starboard side. Of course, he neither sensed nor saw any sign of aggression, but there were some things he couldn't help. Zorrens belonged in trees and ground combat. The emptiness of space and the vulnerability of these tin cans was only a necessary evil that they used to defend others.

"Nervous sir?" The voice came from one of the three guards that had accompanied the Valde of Veradune, each one pledged to the monarch's defense unto their dying breath. Of course, that didn't stop Vulpesen from encouraging a somewhat laxed attitude when in his company, even if it led to questions that no soldier would dare ask his king on any other planet.

"Just a bit too long on Veradune I think. Then again, i never really liked flying. Let's just get into that hangar and I'll be right as rain." Rising up from his seat, he motioned for the guard to take his place, patting his shoulder once he did so. "Try not to crash or get us shot at. I'll be getting ready." With a small whistle, he called the miniscule azure wolf which sat in his own special piloting rig, onto his shoulder. "Come on Ace, time to make some friends."

[member="Rex Taff"] @Errreembuhr @Kaine Australis

 

[Errreembuhr]

The Wookiee's landing was uneventful, and the guard squad was respectful enough. With Talus at his side he followed their escort to the meeting room, quietly taking in the sight of their host's locale. It wasn't a planet he'd spend much time on, but if things went well here today, he may be soon find himself on a return visit.

After a brief walk the escort stopped at the entrance to a conference room, opening the doors as Errreembuhr and his companion stepped inside. He could see the instantly recognizable appearance of a Chiss, their host. Errreembuhr made his way to where [member="Rex Taff"] and [member="Kaine Australis"] waited, Talus taking position just off to the side.

Raising a furred paw to the rig on his chest and activating the translator to Basic, he prepared himself for the discussions to come.

 

[Ravenfire]

Tom would walk in. "Uncle Kaine how are you?" He would then see the others and the look on [member="Rex Taff"] face. "Sorry Dad. I just wanted to see what was going on." He would see Rex nod "Don't worry about it Son just sit in on the meeting you could do with some learning." He would nod. He was the company's Second in command anyways it would pay to learn.

As he looked around he saw a wookie and he wanted to say human. This would be an interesting experience for him. He would sit in and occasionally say something, But for the most part he let his dad and uncle Kaine speak they knew better than him anyways.

[member="Kaine Australis"], [member="Errreembuhr"], [member="Vulpesen"]

 

[Ravenfire]

Rex nodded at what Kaine said, "Yes you forgot to mention them." Rex would sigh "I am glad you agree that we need more NO Boxs, I already have another nine under production. mostly for my company though I may sell some off at some point." He would then nod to both of the people who entered "Welcome [member="Errreembuhr"] and [member="Vulpesen"], I apologies I am unable to speak in your native tongue for you Errreembuhr. I will have to learn it at some point. SO down to bussiness."

Rex was about to sit down when his son walked in. He said "Uncle Kaine how are you?" Rex gave his son a look. He son saw it immediately "Sorry Dad. I just wanted to see what was going on." He would just nod and said "Don't worry about it Son just sit in on the meeting you could do with some learning." He then looked at the table at large. "Okay now down to business so how can these four companies of ours help each other?"

 

[Vulpesen]

The walk from the hanger to the meeting room was a relaxing one, and Vulpesen could feel his breath even out as he got farther and farther from his ship. He really had spent too much time holed up in his castle. Upon entering the room, he nodded to the pair that greeted him, as well s the wookiee entered with him. "Salutations. And a drink would be nice." Taking a seat, he reached out his hand, calling on the force to bring the glass and bottle over. After pouring out a measure of amber liquid, he passed the bottle to the wookiee.

The arrival of the young Taff drew a curious look from the zorren, who's black vulpine tail appeared into view as it flicked curiously behind him. While human at a glance, there were some things that marked him apart. The tail of course, but his eyes also held a strange golden glow, something that might have distracted from his pointed ear(the other was noticeably missing, a battle scar from days past).

"Well, the VSF is a security force. That being said, I think it's pretty easy to guess what resources my company can offer. Though, I do have some ideas that might give your production lines something to profit from." How long had it been since he was a merchant table? Before he was a king, before he was a sith lord, before he was even a jedi, this was his life... it felt odd. Stranger still that now, he was where his first master sat, doing his job. But rather than playing with selling a few pets and zoo animals, he was here to play with the lives of the galaxy. No chitliks and nexus here. Just soldiers and blasters.

[member="Rex Taff"] [member="Kaine Australis"] @Errreembuhr

 

[Errreembuhr]

Errreembuhr took the bottle, knowing that nearly all alcoholic beverages in the galaxy had little effect on him save for those from his home world. Besides, it would be rude if offered a drink to refuse when one was a guest. He poured some for himself, unsure what it was, but from the smell his assessment would likely be accurate.

He listened as Rex and Vulpesen spoke after each other, taking stock of the apparent mercenary group's operation.

"There is much that can be offered to this kind of group," he said to [member="Vulpesen"] , adjusting a dial to clarify the voice from his translator. "EODD specializes in weapons and ships, and we have plenty to offer, though for the moment our shipyards are limited in the size of what we can make."

He looked over to [member="Rex Taff"] next. "If I remember correctly, Mirdirmorut does work with ground vehicles? It's a section we've not yet expanded into, one that we very much would like to if you'd be willing to work together?"

[member="Kaine Australis"] | [member="Tom Taff"]

 

[Ravenfire]

Rex would nod listening to the first proposal. "Yes indeed we could use some more security forces. My own are stretched a bit thin. However I would be happy to listen to any new ideas." He nodded to his captain who wandered on out of the room. "As for vehicles indeed we do, we just have one almost ready for the market. It should be good. I would be more than happy to do this, my own company could do with learning how to craft ships." Rex smiled as Kaine spoke as did Tom.

"Yes Kaine me and you need to work on my company getting into some armour productions. Same goes for my company, I have personally built more than a few special droids for people. Including a new one the dragon probe for one of our Australis." He would nod as the Captain came back in with a dragon-probe. "As you can see it uses stygium crystals and my own DION Fibre material to be a successfully hidden probe droid that is resistant to Ion damage." He then looked at Kaine's stuff. "So Kaine what can Mirdirmorut do for you the others have said."

[member="Kaine Australis"], [member="Errreembuhr"], [member="Vulpesen"]

 

[Vulpesen]

"Well, if y'all can make the ships, I'm happy to supply the pilots as well as a wage for anyone you know who might want to hold a rifle or fly said ships." He lifted his glass up to take another sip, enjoying the burn as it ran past his lips. Once he finished the moment of enjoying his drink, he floated a few of the datapads in front of himself. Although, he'd hardly had a few seconds to peruse the mandal inventory before something else in the room caught his eye.

Glancing up at the dragon drone, he found a smile touching his lips as ace popped up from his pocket, the glowing blue head looking curiously to what had captured his bond-mate's attention. "I don't know about Mr. Kaine here, but you've certainly peaked my interest." His tail flicked from side to side behind him as he examined the mechanical creature.

[Errreembuhr]

"I would certainly be happy to help you expand into ship-building if you were to help me expand into ground vehicles," the Wookiee said to [member="Rex Taff"] after listening to what he had to say. He brought up his own datapad with several EODD products such as the EF50, the EC20, and the Kinrath-class. "These are a few of our ships we've put into production so far, with several others in development. While we lack in capital ship production, so far we've had quite a bit of success with support ships and weaponry."

He made sure that [member="Vulpesen"] could see the data himself as well after he'd expressed agreement. "I don't know many who'd be up for the task, but if crew for the ships is a concern, we also produce a line of droids designed specifically to fill out crew roles, and all of our ships can be easily outfitted to switch between them and organic crewmen."

The drone, once revealed, has his attention, much like the others present as well. "Interesting. How does this DION fiber work to reduce ion damage? Might it be used in something larger, like a full-sized droid?"


[member="Kaine Australis"] | [member="Tom Taff"]

 

[Ravenfire]

Rex nodded to [member="Vulpesen"] "Thank you very much for your offer, we will definitely have need of your company defending our assets on the different worlds as well as any freighters we send. Pirates have been trying to take my stuff they are only stopped due to my forces from the ME patrolling the areas." He would nod "Yes should you have anything you want don't be afraid to place an order similar to this. As this isn't the only special line droid I have made."

"That sound excellent [member="Errreembuhr"] . I will have to go more into depth into your catalogue later." He smiled nodding to his Son to look it up and pull together a list of things they could use from the company. "The DION Fibre takes the energy of the Ion shot or EMP blast and distributes it through a lattice of copper wish then expunges it back out on the surface of the material. As it working on something larger indeed it can, we just recently built a light tank droid with that in mind." He pulled up the schematics for MR-02.

He listened to [member="Kaine Australis"]. Kaine said the best thing he had heard. "That is a brilliant idea, which will save mine and I am sure everyone else's companies a lot of paper work. It will also allow me to sell you my droid brains and material to you all. Meaning any droids, armour, or even ships and vehicles will be Ion resistant. However be warned with it that it takes more damage from sources like blasters and physical attack."

 

[Vulpesen]

A tug in Vulpesen's mind was begging him to focus on that dragon, make the order right then and there, to negotiate a contract and specify exactly what he wanted. He wasn't sure why, but it just seemed so perfect... But what he did know, was that there were bigger things that demanded his attention at the moment. Work on the big things, before getting into the nitty gritty. "Sounds like a good idea to me. As for that dion fiber, that may make it easier than simply caging every weapon I make." Making his point, he reached into his coat and produced his lightsaber and with a few seconds of work, popped it open to show the internal faraday cage. Maybe it wasn't the most polite thing to draw a weapon during negotiations, but he figured they were smart enough to know he wasn't stupid enough to attack in a room of capable warriors and armed guards.

Closing his saber and placing it back in place, he glanced around at his new business partners. It was an amazing thing when everything finally came together, truly. Looking over the schematics of the tank, he rose a brow, his golden eyes running over the product. "Well, I'd hate to see that barreling towards my men on the battlefield. Though, we of the VSF have a few schematics of our own. Though, we don't necessarily have the production facilities to keep making them. Perhaps there's some help to be gained by selling the schematics to some of you boys."

@Rex Taff @Kaine Australis @Errreembuhr

 

[Errreembuhr]

At the suggestion of [member="Kaine Australis"] Errreembuhr nodded. "This sounds like a very beneficial understanding for all of us. Everybody gets what they want, and everybody gets what they need."

Looking over to [member="Rex Taff"] he continued, "The DION fiber indeed seems like something I can put to use. If you would be willing, I would certainly like to set up an agreement between our companies to purchase them from you."


[member="Vulpesen"]

 

[Ravenfire]

He watched the whole process go on. It seemed to be one giant business transaction. He just sat back as that probe droid he had seen around was shown off. He smiled slightly at his father's savvy nature. Show them something cool and get them to do the work for you. Tom liked that idea. He was engrossed by the process that was until.

He looked over as Kaine spoke and made grabby hand at his dad. He burst out laughing. "Uncle Kaine you are..... Hahahah. Here uncle kaine." As he passed over one of the contracts in his hands. "Dad entrusted me with them for the meeting" As he hand out ones to the other two. "If you have any special requests ask Dad now." He would say with a small on his face as he walked over and allow the dragon probe to rest on his shoulder as he walk back to the table.

[member="Kaine Australis"], [member="Errreembuhr"], [member="Vulpesen"]

 

[Vulpesen]

Grinning at [member="Kaine Australis"]' antics, Vulpesen accepted the contract with a grateful nod and set it infront of himself to read. It wasn't that he didn't trust the Taff's, actually he was looking forward to this new partnership. But even after years of being out of the game of marketers, there were some lessons that he simply couldn't forget. And as his eyes scanned over the datapad,he was reminded of all the times that Zarro's cane had popped him for missing some hidden loophole ot clause in a mock contract.

His ear flicked towards [member="Tom Taff"] ashe opened the floor to more minute matters, something he had been waiting for ever since that dragon drone had appeared. "Two questions. First, does that probe fly? Second, could you make a mass-produced model that I might be able to give to my more reconnaissance based troops, preferably with the capability of flying if that one's wings are just for show?"

[member="Errreembuhr"]

 

[Ravenfire]

Rex would finally speak again. "Thank you Tom for handing those out contracts." He then looked at [member="Vulpesen"] "We would gladly make those weapons for you, our weapons manufacture has yet to be used properly. As for the probe droid, yes the wings do work, uses repulsorlift technology to move with them. I could make a mass produced version however it couldn't use my material. I can't create enough of the material to support mass production, a step lower I can."

He would turn to [member="Errreembuhr"] "Of course we can sell our material off to you as well, that would be acceptable." Then he would turn one last time to [member="Kaine Australis"]. "Kaine, Tom has something to ask of you once this meeting ends if you could stay around after that," He would then wait for anyone to say anything else.
