Meeting in Cologne, Phase 1

[Swifty]

Well consider me et those who share my views for our House, as the gardeners who will remove the bad weeds et plant new seeds of prosperity et stability. You can be assured I like to see those flowers bloom in their natural form, not a hybrid one.
He said with his smile on his face.

He then listens very carefully, while he gently puts his hand on the glass and begins to slowly play with his wine, making a quick analysis of what she says.

Alright. Well, contact me over the communication channel before the ships are ready to depart with the supplies. I need to make a safe route so that they do not get noticed entering our sector of space. I shall give the coordinates of said route et the destination in that channel.  As I've mentioned to monsieur Thielau, we lack the bases et the ones we have are not very close to your borders. I can say they are considerably far.

May I suggest one thing though? Since they asked for shared information, I believe it would be wise to just play by their rules, for a while, so suspicion is not raised. Me or my men are not worried about them as they are just a disorganised group who just play the dictators, we are incomparably more experienced et we could probably hurt them if we were to battle them anyways, but that may spark something we do not wish. Perhaps a few selected members of a corporation can accomplish that, since they have access in Gallia et will not raise too many questions. At least until we manage to confirm the support from other Royalist entities inside Gallia.
He takes his glass to his mouth but stops for a moment.

That should not be an issue. Our small repair ship provides enough to keep the vessel at service, excluding it's combat capacity due to combat-related systems barely working at 10% of their natural capacity. It will need proper maintenance, so it will survive like that for the time being until a proper decision is made by your superior, as it has until now. I very much understand that et I thank you for considering it.  Right now we do not have that much to offer In return for your services, so sharing with you some of our powerful technology I believed to be good leverage in this negotiation. Regardless, we shall discuss more when the time is right. He drinks what is left in the glass and then carefully places his glass next to Traudel's. His eyes were stuck on her's throughout the entire last part of their conversation.

I believe this would indeed be all for the time being. I for one must return to the Resurgent et set my affairs in order now that I know our logistic matters have been taken care of. This was an important step for us, et i can now proceed to the next one. Monsieur Thielau or you even, will know if there will be something else.

Would you care to walk with me to my ship? He asks gently, as he proceeds to stand up from his seat.
