A meeting of energetic friends

[Markus_Janus]

Kazuya shook each ones hand and gave a small bow as they were introduced, having dealt with Gaijin for so long had almost gotten him used to the uncomfortable tradition of personal contact at first meeting, almost.

I am glad your journey was without incident, times have changed my homeland recently, and I must admit a small amount of embarrassment that others may ever have to suffer from that.
I am sure it will work itself out fine, these things always do in the end, but change brings uncertainty and is an unavoidable part of this.

I understand you are a busy man Mr Giddeon-san, so please allow me not to waste any more of your valuable time.

With this a small staff entered the room and humble offered each person to an awaiting chair.
Once they were all seated a holodisplay bearing the Samura logo sprung into life as Kazuya began speaking.

Gideon-san, Samura Omotai Zaibatsu has always been a company at the service of the Kusari people.
By always keeping the well being of the citizens of Kusari first in our mind, we have been blessed enough to hold the position of the largest corporation in the colonies.
This has benefits and hindrances of it's own, but this we take in our stride as we work towards the vision we were given by our founder Samura Masamune eight hundred and fifteen years ago.

Now I am sure you have heard much of the bad press that circulates about our organisation from time to time.
While we do have our flaws, I am sure you can understand as a businessman of no small standing that jealousy and greed are the primary fuel for these various acts of slander.
Alas the more one stands up the larger target he makes of himself, and this is something we have gotten quite used to.

Ageira Technologies also holds a special place within the colonies, one of respect as a premier company of innovation and high end technology.
Your Jumpgate and Tradelane network as well as the orbital control ring system are marvels that make life easier for everyone and something we respect greatly.

With that in mind, we feel there is much we can benefit from with a closer relationship between our corporations.
How do you feel about everything I have said so far?
