"So, CEO of OSI. That must be one hell of a job, I reckon."
Says Douwe.
"I've seen your company on numerous runs, even in the outskirts of Sirius. What I don't get though is why so many of your captains prefer to use that, beautiful, but defenceless Whale. I know the Zoners get away with pretty much anything, yet still, encounters with those blue devils are not that uncommon if I have a hunch where you all head off to."
His holo-pad beeps and Douwe checks, pausing his lines. A smile escapes his mouth and he enters a couple of commands.
"Good. Another business opportunity gone right."
Looking back at Voncloud he raises his eye-brow.
"Say, you wouldn't have a job for me and my family? Ruys Corporation is a family owned business and although we've got plenty of opportunity's we like to be quite specific on what we take on as a job. It's not common to find a Ruys backing off a deal, and the deal is sacred. And OSI seems like a solid business partner. "
He leans in close to Voncloud and whispers:
"We don't back down for anything. If you know what I mean."
He retakes his position and signs for another drink, lighting his newly grabbed cigarette with his old one.
