It had been a while since all the Members and Advisers of the Board had managed to convene in the meeting room of OSI's Corporate Offices situated in the iconic tower dominating the city of Las Palmas.
They had been here the whole day and the sun was already setting behind the tree-covered hills of Gran Canaria. A number of empty Styrofoam cups were stacked on top of each other as a measure of both time the amount of coffee or tea they had drunk during the meeting.
The CEO, with an atypically loose tie, had grown tired of the meeting hours ago, now exhausted he made a visible effort to follow and lead the course of the discussion. However, as tiring as the day had been it had come to a fruitful end and it was now the CEO's turn to summarize the consensus reached and formally end the meeting.
“Dear colleges I thank you all for coming to day and participate on this meeting."
"In terms of the Order: We have agreed, that we will honor all requirements of Admiral Golanski and we will let them choose the exact location of the research-base, under the condition that they provide us with accurate and up-to-date hyperspace coordinates."
"Freeport 14: As said in the beginning: The committee of the Zoner Development Fund has agreed to finance Miss Nemesis proposal to upgrade the security of the Freeport. We have also agreed to expand Freeport 14 with additional modules and offices as well as a communication relay to facilitate communication and trade with the Houses of Liberty, Bretonia and Kusari."
"Rheinland: With the founding of the 'Imperial Party of Rheinland' we might have found an ally, who, once in power, can guarantee OSI's return to Rheinland market. As they want an end of the Liberty-Rheinland war ,this could mean additional business with import/export between Rheinland and Liberty. It has therefore been decided to support the IPR financially."
"Last but not least: Adviser to the Board David Starr is hereby promoted to 'Director of Public Relations' due to his recent show of skill in diplomacy with the – notoriously difficult – Admiral Golanski."
Are there any final words before I officially end this meeting and invite you all for a Drink in the 'Trade'n'Drunk'?"
