Konnichiwa, Finn-san

[Muramasa]

Now it felt as if you commanded him telepathically, that he took a sip of the water after he had to clear his throat before speaking.

"I represent Musashi Innovations, "born" in Kusari. But that doesn't mean we despise foreigners at all. You know, we... look beyond the isolationism that pollutes the House. There's so much talent out there that we would be missing otherwise, right?"

He finished his meal, not minding having to wait for Finn to be done with the steak. With a grin, Hideo continued.

"No more water, I didn't expect less from a Dubliner. As I was saying, the company's growth has increased exponentially over the last year, hiring people with scientific concerns from almost every corner of Sirius. We are not alligned with the bigger corporations, at least not yet. Those follow a more radical agenda with it comes to monenitizing, and you and I do know that."

Hideo leaned forward a little, lowering his voice as if he was about to unveil the mystery behind the creation of the universe.

"However... I'm not offering you an average spot like Kishiro or Ageira does with their eggheads. I'm offering you a chance to perpetuate your name through the next generations, unraveling the mysteries of Sirius, there where Kishiro or Ageira would never dare to send their people. Omicrons, Omegas, whatever system isn't baptized yet... You will lead your team, mister McCool. You will be assigned projects, or you will have the freedom to begin your own. And I'll only expect one thing from you: Positive results for the company. That way, we will keep growing. That way, we will keep researching."
