Kal had folded his arms as he listened to Nyos speak. On one hand it seemed like he was a humanitarian who understood what people who had been injured, or perhaps born, with handicaps had to go through. And looking at the man it was clear that he utilized the products his company offered. But on the other there were obvious military aspects of these products that could be used and abused.
As Nyos finished speaking Kal brought up the small holoprojector in his left arm gauntlet and several small images flickered to life. One was the M1 cyber heart. Another was the cyber arms of the Military Model V. A third was of a weapon, not a cybernetic replacement, the AX 1A vibroaxe. small smirk crossed his face. He knew these items were for sale, but he had his sister, who was a superb slicer, find out a bit more about the company and the products that the average citizen couldn't pull up.
"Well Nyos, I'm here to help my vode. You see, I make enough money with my armor and weapon contracts that my small company are well off financially. We aren't rich by other's standard but we have more then we need. The reason I took you up on the offer you have is to help my vode, the ones who have been injured and can't do what they once did. Now I have a proposition for you, and right now I'm speaking for myself. I will help you with some of your R&D. But whatever I create, the schematics, the prototype, all rights will belong to Beskar'ad Inc. But as I will be using your databases and your tech you will have full rights to produce and sell the products I design. And as long as both of us are happy and willing to continue our partnership then you will retain the right to produce and sell the product I will have created and own. And if we dissolve our partnership, either of us, you will have the legal right to continue to produce the products that I have designed using your databases and equipment for one standard year before all rights revert back to me."
He paused. "I will not use your resources for my companies armor or weapons manufacturing. Now I will require twenty percent of the gross from all sales of the products I create as well as require that twenty percent of our gross be used to manufacture products for less wealthy prospective users of the product. In effect charity for those poor souls who cannot afford to purchase the cybernetic enhancements. Half of which your company will choose for distribution while the other half my company will choose for distribution."
"That will leave you with sixty percent of the gross income. Now I would appreciate the freedom to do the research on Mandalore, my home turf. I will have the facility built within my company's compound that is secured through my own working arms and weapons. I'll have my sister create a secure network with fail safes in place against any attempt to hack, slice, or physically remove the research and development information. I'll send you the information with her credentials as well as my own ability to physically protect the facility. You or a representative, whom I will meet in your presence, will be allowed and welcome to visit. I will regularly send a sitrep on my work and progress."
Kal paused again as he shut off the holo images and closed the file about InVal-uable Cybernetics. Looking up he hooked his thumbs in his belt where a datapad rested in one of the pouches on his belt. He hoped Nyos would take the offer, or at least make a counter offer. Because this could work in both of their benefits and be even more benefital to those in need.
