A Critical Meeting

"Of course, we've had crews work all along the Barrier and in the Walker Nebula. Travel's not a concern." Alice took the signed contracts and sorted them neatly with the rest of her paperwork before standing and straightening her blazer. "It's been a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Xae," she said, shaking the man's hand with a smile.

"I'd shake your hand too," Darren began, raising his mechanical arm, "but this is my good hand. So, I think not. I'll get a crew together - I've gotta stay local for a few projects, but you'll get some of Aquila's best, don't worry."
