The Valhalla Federation, Meeting of the Guilds.

[Aedan Miles]

Aedan Miles walks in calmly his security team waiting nearby glancing around he turns away from [member="Cross Ikon"] now here on separate business then his occasional boss Aedan took a seat and glanced over at the man that called them together giving him a light nod as he leaned back in his chair. "Hey RC so whats the good word on this job opportunity you messaged me about?" The young man glanced over at [member="RC 212 "]a small grin crossing his lips under the helmet he wore a skull painted on the front of it in violet splashes of crimson on the bones as if splattering blood. The rest of his armor was pitch black and resting on his belt were a series of silver hilted lightsabers as well as a pair of heavy blaster pistols tools from his time with the Mando'ade.

RC gave the new group a nod and paused.

"Well gentlmen we were just discussing what our next course of action as a whole will be. We have many opportunities and ample resources as of now. But we were also discussing where our resources will be sourced from."

 

[Sy' Lanat]

Sy' stayed quiet, thinking. He wasn't a man who knew many people who could finance or outfit large operations, but then he didn't know many people in general. While he looked forward to taking the time with a target; to slowly take his aim and fire on a target, ending the miserable life of some high-roller. Yes, Sy' preferred the silence of his battlefield to the chaos of the political confrontation.

[Puppet Kyrios]

Asteria was in camoflague form and had slipped through with Aedan, but she appeared to have materialized out of thin air. She was curious about the job offer [member="RC 212 "]had messaged her about, but said nothing not wanting to draw attention to herself, letting her pointed ears do the hearing work, her words would draw attention.

 

[Ice]

Ice chimed in again. "Speaking of. I was having an idea about that too. How about we build a resort like space station. We can make this place amazing. A place where the rich and famous can come to relax. We would have places for us as well, but the point is. We create a place that will attract their kind. We can build all kinds of things, a casino, restaurants, a trade hub, shipyard. Basically a perfect place for us to relax. But also a good place to drum up new contacts, jobs, and more importantly credits. What do you guys think? Ideas, suggestions?" He looked around the room and the large group assembled hoping to hear some good feedback.

As his mind started going through a shipload of ideas, he decided to send off a quick message to [member="Alli Wren"] of Baktoid Industrial Systems. Considering all the cookie jars that company has its hands in, they would be a good choice to build the station and get whatever droids they would need too. It was just a simple message giving some rough dimensions and ideas to see if the company would even be interesting. A better picture would be sent to them, once Ice had gotten some ideas from the different guilds.

[Flora Burn]

[member="Ice"]

Flora ship the black pearl had landed at the pirate bay, she was here to unload some illicit goods. The type stuff the suns would no longer touch, slaves as well as a few other items she had taken on recent venture. The slaves where ex-imperials, it was weird how the mighty had fallen. Though they have seemed to risen again, but they where remnants of their former selves.

She started look around for someone to sell to while her crew hit the bar, and started to drink the profits. Pirates nothing changes, fighting and drinking plus a bit debauchery.

"Im in agreeance this could be a great idea."

RC looked around at them all musing over whether or not it could really be pulled off.

"We have some worker droids already, also we have a fairly large treasury from Guild dues this past month. In addition though we'll need to create a substation underneath for our armorys and pirate bays and such. I vote calling the under-station, Davy Jones Locker! Or a cantina named Davy Jones locker!"

 

[Ice]

[member="RC 212 "] Ice couldn't help but let out a small laugh. "That's a fun idea. Let's make that actual supply room for all our gear and extra goodies then, as it makes a bit more sense. Still, great idea!" He said enthusiastically as he wrote down the idea on a piece of paper. "What else we got? Come on people, speak up. What's on your wish list for a home base?"

[member="Flora Burn"] Outside of the meeting room, one of the men bumped in to Flora. "Oh, sorry." He said in a gruff voice. "What are you doing here?" He asked curiously, having thought that everyone who was attending the meeting, had already shown up.

 

[Flora Burn]

[member="Ice"]

She was unsure how to ask, she hardly knew these people. Though she did need a safe place to unload her cargo, so she asked Oh just looking for some where to sell my wares, any idea where that might be. She gave no indication of what she might be selling, as she was unsure of how they felt about slavery. As well as stolen goods, though she knew stolen goods would not be much of an issue.

 

[Ice]

The man raised an eyebrow at the curious woman. Was she not really one of them after all? "I guess just ask around the cantina. Usually someone looking to purchase something there." He then nodded to the room beyond the door next to them. "Of course, there are a lot of the lads that are in there, having a meeting about setting up new operations. But unless you are part of one of the Valhallan Federation guilds with something to say, I wouldn't suggest bothering them. Maybe after they are done, you can ask them." He gave a small shrug and continued on, not really interested in what she may have to sell. He may not have been doing well financially.

[member="Flora Burn"]

 

[Cross Ikon]

I heard a familiar voice from behind the door, along with the gruff voice of the man who was guarding the door. And then I placed it. Flora Burn. I spun towards the door, grinning.

"Flora, come in here. There's some people I'd rather like you to meet."

I waved my hand at Flora as the door opened.

"Everybody, this is Captain Flora Burn. Expert pirate, and a damn good shot. Her crew is running rampant through the bars, unless I'm mistaken. You can thank her for the quarter million credits they blow on drinks and entertainment."

I spun back around in my chair, and nodded, now serious.

"Now, for that base. I love this idea. A space station bigger than a moon. And cities inside it, too. It's going to take a rather large chunk out of our fleet to defend it, though, even after it's built. Unless we have some major firepower on it, and plenty of ships in it, besides. I do believe that I can help relieve somebody of their ships to do that work, though."

[member="Flora Burn"] [member="Ice"]

 

[Flora Burn]

[member="Ice"]

Thanks I give it shot, hope they sell rum though. With that she head over to cantina, to see who she could meet. Hopefully she find one drunk enough to talk to, who would not be able to remember in the morning. Though that may take awhile, but why. she waits their always rum.

 

[Ice]

Ice gave a surprised look to the late arrival. Normally he would have been a little annoyed at her coming soo late. But if she got Cross' stamp of approval, he'd be willing to let the transgression slide. Besides, for all he knew, she was new and didn't know about the meeting. After giving a small nodd her way, he said in a neutral tone. "Pleasure to meet you Flora. Sounds like you'll fit right in here." His curious expression turned to one of shock as Cross continued to speak.

"Whoah, whoah there Ikon! You're getting ahead of yourself aren't you? Bigger than a moon?" He couldn't help but laugh lightly. "Cross, we don't have the resources of the entire galaxy behind us. What we have so far is a station about 4,000 meters, not kilometers. And we'll be lucky to get the support for that. A station the size of a small moon would cost us trillions of credits. As tantalizing as that sounds. It's not realistic for us unfortunately. I am still waiting to hear from Baktoid Industrial Systems. I'm hoping they will accept our proposal to build the station."

He kept his pleasant smile on to show he wasn't trying to burst his bubble. "I did also plan to have this place armed to the teeth though, so we wouldn't have to waste our fleet guarding it. Wouldn't want you boys getting bored on guard duty after all."

[Avery Rose Garter]

Kadrak walked into the room just as Cross finished speaking of his opinion on the space station the Federation was planning on building. She'd heard rumors of it floating around amongst the Technocrats and the other factions, but this was the first time it had been voiced with most everyone of the faction present. "I have to agree with Cross, on all counts. But if we're planning on building this, then I'm more than willing to lend a hand. I haven't had much of a big project lately, and this seems like just the thing to get us off of the ground as a group." She paused for a moment with a faint smile as she sat. "But maybe not so big. And if Cross is there, no one will be bored, trust me."
She spun in her chair for a moment as she thought, stopping after a few rotations as she faced them again. "However, it does sound like a great idea. One that I would be all too happy to help with. Things have been almost disappointingly quiet lately."

[member="Cross Ikon"], [member="Ice"]

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli Wren was intrigued another station, Well she would build it if they paid, who was she to deny. She replied with a message of her own."Greetings, I am sure that Baktoid can manage to build the station, and install the necessary automation to ensure that it runs smoothly. I am forwarding a quote based on your rough estimations, which should let you know aproximately how much it will cost. Baktoid also might be interested in securing some of the financing should you need it. " The messaged had a base quote attached and that if they wanted to meet Alli for more discussions then they would have to send a time and place.

Alli Wren looked at the plans, it was ambitous, like her own station. She wondered just what they were going to do with it. After all she always had room for another investment.
[member="Ice"]

 

[Ice]

Ice smirked at [member="Kadrak Jalaan"] . "Well considering the size of this place. I think we will be able to supply you with an ample amount of work in the near future. And I thank you for your support in the project. As for the size. Go big or go home. That's always been my motto. If you're wanting to impress the rich, bigger is always better."

Turning back to [member="Cross Ikon"] , he got his attention once more. "Cross. I'd also be happy to accept your help with the funding. But I don't want this to take away from the members resources. So I will do so, under the condition that I can pay the money back to you with interest. You will receive your portion of the profits equivalent to your investment till it is paid off as well. That way, you can make some money off your investment. And you would still be guaranteed a villa for free of course. As all members of the three guilds will. Does that sound fair to you sir?"

He looked down at his datapad as Alli's message came in and pinged him. The quoted figure was a much larger number than he was used to dealing with. But then, the size of the project did reflect that price tag. "Ladies and gentlemen. It would appear Baktoid Industrial Systems is interested in our project. They have even volunteered to provide some of the funding should we need it! So it would appear this project will be moving forward for sure now. So if you have any other thoughts or ideas for what you would like to see in this place. You better spit them out now. I am going to be setting up an appointment now to begin going over the details and start finalizing things."

With that, he gave the floor back to everyone else who might have something to say, or an idea to add. Meanwhile, he set to work composing a response.

"Miss Wren. I am pleased to hear you are interested in taking on our project. I sincerely hoped the scale wouldn't scare you off. We would also be interested in a wide arrange of droids to supplement the automation we are sure your company can provide for us. In regards to your offer to help fund the project. We would be delighted to accept, under the condition STI can purchase back your share of the facility, with interest of course. In the meantime, you will receive your share of the profits till it is paid in full. To make the deal even better, I'd be willing to offer you one of the T3 villas for your personal use for free. We can also offer you some premier office space at a discounted preferred rate.

If these terms are sounding to your liking, perhaps we can discuss this further in person? I am attaching coordinates to STI headquarters. If it is convenient, would next week be ok? I would like to finalise our contract, and get this project going as soon as possible."

Tapping a few more buttons, the message was away, and he turned back to the group.

[member="Alli Wren"]

 

[RC 212]

[member="Alli Wren"]

RC jumped up. Ali Wren of Baktoid? This was certainly a blessing and he jumped on it.

"Yes and when you're finished tell her lets talk about getting some new vessels. I need new vessels!"

 

[Alli Vern]

[member="Ice"] @RC 212
With a chuckle Alli smiled at the terms, better than she had thought.
" I think that deal will work, I will put in the order and get to work on the droids, once you request what exactly you want them to do. You will see my crews arrive within the week. "She sent a short message and began entering the order. It was a tall one, one that would require much work and materials but she had built Wren'Goa Station. She could do this. The order was in and soon there would be an army of worker droids and ships building what would be one of the largest projects Baktoid had done yet.

Alli had the materials and components pre fabricated as much as possible, Shipping would as always be provided ATC. The parts were large and bulky but shipping them saved time and money. The plan was coming together, with the blueprints being sent over it was nice to know the specifics and the easiest part was going to be the shipyard, she was already building 3 of them. It was going to be an interesting project that was for sure.

 

[Ice]

Ice smiled. This move to have this enormous station built was moving far smoother than he had ever thought possible. "Very good. I look forward to seeing you then for finalizing details and signing the contracts." The message said simply. This was going to be a dream project. He had never thought it possible he would get to work on projects of this size and scope. The prospect was both daunting and exciting all at the same time.

He once again returned his attention to his comrades to see if there were any last details or ideas they wished to share before moving on to the next topic. In addition, he was still waiting for Cross' answer to his question on funding.

[Cross Ikon]

I laughed, and spun in my chair again.

"Okay, sure, you can pay me back with as much interest as you like. Get me a house with a view, by the way."

I spun again, pointing at Arcee this time.

"I totally agree... But you should ask me about ship designs before blowing credits on Baktoid. I love their automated ships to pieces, but their capital ships are a little bit below my standards."

I spun back to look at Ice again, and grinned.

"Not that it matters, really, but this station will put the Ravens' little holes in the ground to shame. That alone is enough for me."
