Affari Esteri

[Fiorella de Marco]

"It is true that for the next month or two I will be testing the Xenos' distribution capabilities to flesh out any potential issues and hiccups before the main harvest, when you can expect larger volumes of Cardamine hadled to you - at least by my own clan and few other aligned families, if the first trials will prove to be promising and uncomplicated, of course."

As she spoke, she circled her finger slowly around the rim of her glass while watching Damien Morreti's face. Her gaze was not downright intimidating or unpleasant, but her body language and facial expression spoke of a preternatural, almost inhuman calmness. She was showing some discretion; she had time and there was no hurry.

"I find regretable that you are unwilling to harbor our other vessels, but perhaps, it makes sense for the time being. You have been starved for resources, credits and accommodation of our expensive and complicated vessels and servicing them could prove too costly and risky at this moment. Fontana will have to for now, until our ties are sufficiently strengthened by our mutual benefits."

"Speaking of logistics, our first shipments will be coming through the western route. I suppose that we can move it to Colorado through Ontario. I do not expect any issues there as long as your men or the Lane Hackers would not be shooting our transports, having Fontana as the secondary drop off point in case of some emergency or other issues."

She paused for a moment as if she had forgotten something important and now it dawned on her. It did not show in her overall body language, however, and she continued to give a very calm and relaxed impression.

"Maybe you should not focus on intercepting the Cardamine shipments of our other intermediaries now as that could be seen as sabotaging our own distribution efforts as a whole and show this little venture in a wrong context. I do not want it to become a threat to the other Maltese and their businesses, but as an opportunity to show what can you do for us and how reliable and stable you can be. I do not care, however, about the other income sources of our intermediaries and their raiding parties."
