People are very much the same everywhere I fear, General.
Tukker clearly enjoyed the topic, strolling along the slightly winding pathway towards the restaurant he had prereserved tables waiting for them.
Generally you can sort them into the needy, the greedy, and the ignorant. We support the needy, trade with the greedy and try to either ignore, evade or reform the ignorant. Not always a simple task.
The trader laughed, shaking his hand to indicate he was half joking.
We have a lot of greedy corporations and individuals, giving us a dynamic and interesting market. And junkers in need of a job, Freelancers needing some chance to trade or civilians willing to better their life with the traning and chances we offer make up most of our recruits. The rest... well, try to convince a terrorist to change his views and I will gladly invite you to the next fund raising Gala to meet some high up nobles from Bretonia or populist officials from Liberty to try your wit there, too. The petty criminals in Liberty are dangerous but can be calculated if you take a economical view at logistics, but groups like the Xenos or the Lane Hackers follow their own reasoning despite any proof or arguments and can be completely unpredictable at times.
Tukker sounded slightly strained now, but carefully controlled his facial expressions
We take to opt for a quite open minded and pragmatic view about most topics, but there are some problems we can not ignore. For the Xenos we work to much with junkers and strangers, and for the Hackers we are too much like a corporation I suppose. We have managed to stay clear from major conflicts for a long time but I do not expect that luck to last.
Now he grinned again, and pointed towards the door to the restaurans suite where they could dine undisturbed.
We even managed to negotiate a casual accuaintance with some of the Rheinland groups, and if you would like some fresh Apfelstrudel after dinner that can be arranged. And if you need raw diamonds for industrial use or would be interested in swapping the blue gallic variant against the fabled red variant from Dresden I will be able to send somebody over with a Serenity or a freighter to pick up a load. But first, let us dine on real food, not on ship rations or recycled water. We both know that taste I suppose.
