Daniels listened intently to the woman and after she was done, he put his lighter back on the table and looked her straight in the eye.
I've always respected the people of Kusari much more than anyone else.
The reasons are many, your unique culture and customs, the way you behave, the way you talk to people, they way you engineer things. You get my idea.
But the thing I respect the most is the size of the fight in your people. Despite the countless times you fought against all odds, you refused to go down.
Thus, I'd be more than happy to have your people around here.
That being said, you'll have your observation facility. You can choose between a few places.
Durban, Yaren or down on Planet Nauru. We can outfit you with a pretty awesome underground facility. There's plenty of those bunkers around.
They stretch for miles at a time and can withstand a direct nuclear explosion.
The man leaned back in the enormous, leather sofa.
Of course, there's a catch. Currently, I'm sure you're aware, we dealing with a "pseudo-neutral" bunch of hypocrites.
We're expecting an attack, so I suggest you keep a low profile. Anyhow, what we need are resources and weapons.
I've plenty of technology I could spare because we've been keeping the shipyards busy for the past months, so tech exchange is also a possibility.
When this whole situation is handled, I'm pretty sure we can dispatch a task force to the Sigmas and pester any and all hoodlums and criminals to be found.
With your permission, of course.
And last but not least, having friends in times such as these could be very beneficial for both sides.
I'll be more than happy to make a few more.
Daniels took a sip from his whiskey and smiled
Now then, I'll leave you to decide about where you want your observatory.
I have, sadly, pressing matters to attend to. I've a date with a psychopath and I've a whole lot of enraged false-colony ships to deal with.
Who knew space cities had more firepower than an actual warship. Luckily, the design is flawed and hull integrity is easily compromised.
And don't get me started about size. Zoners, huh?
Anyway, you know how to contact me. I'll be awaiting your message.
Jack stood up, nodded kindly and straightened his suit.
He then smiled and left the booth.
