Joyce's lack of knowledge was not all too surprising. "No worries, Mr. Joyce." He said calmly, emptying his cup. "I am glad you reminded me of Crayter's recent losses." While saying this, he pressed a button under the table and a medium-sized holo-screen went online: Showing data regarding the Helios, a Zephyr wreck in Tau-29.
"Our proposal consists of two parts, the first being this wreckage. Due to - bluntly spoken - disinterest about inferior military technology, the wreck was left alone by Kusari following this analysis. It is still within Kusari territory and due to its untouched presence for years, is to be considered owned by the Kusari Empire. The vessel is in a hopeless state, according to our experts. Though apparently sufficient parts are intact to be salvaged and repurposed in a new vessel. We would offer the transfer of the Helios back to the Crayter Republics main residence, Coronado, as a purchase for the full market value the ships materials hold."
He waited for the Bretonian, letting the idea sink in. "I'll get to part two of our proposal in a bit."
