[Chenzo-]

Chenzo was becoming increasingly more frustrated with Harabero, however Harabero had made his point clear that he simply wasn't going to accept that Nomadic technology was vastly superior to that of Humans. There was much, much more to discuss from both sides still and Chenzo didn't want to cut the conversation short. With that in mind, he began to speak.

"The overwhelming power of the spirits was something which drew me to them in the first place, their power in weaponry and technology, it's something that I'm certain can't be replicated or advanced upon by humans on our own. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong but I see no technology made by humans which comes close to what they have mastered many millennia ago, without of course a major hand from the spirits themselves. In the long run, I'd be most delighted to engage on the subject of technological advancement with you. Weaponry, technology...they're at the forefront of what interests me most outside of Maltese defence"

He sits back in a more relaxed state

"To answer your questions as directly as possible, No, I don't think that on our own we can achieve the ability of impenetrable shields, the ability to jump and cloak with no additional technology, the ability to generate nebula's as we see fit. But then again, although I have personally seen these items I've mentioned, I've never been shown the way they got to such achievements. Only "shown" as you know, what they call "mind song" Perhaps these may be false claims on their part?

I don't think there would ever be future hostilities between the Nomads and our people if we abided by what I'd requested, there'd only be one way to find out.

From my point of view, The Orange Dream is something fundamental to the people of Malta, it's our primary *he coughs* only income. I see no need to waste maltese efforts in hauling the commodities manufactured or collected by the the corsairs when we could be hauling our own product. We have the largest economy in Sirius which will only ever expand. There is most certainly no shortage in Cardamine's production.

One of my motives for stating this has been outlined already, however I've already begun works in looking into the distribution of Cardamine into as of yet untapped markets. Bretona, Gallia, Rheinland and Kusari. As I'm sure you are aware, very little makes it to these parts of Sirius. Certainly not the potential of saturation achievable.

To that end, I'm working on various methods with various groups dotted about, however I'll not share full details until concrete which I'm sure you can understand."

He takes a sip of the liquid from within his jacket before continuing

"I am a man of my word, even when those go against me I do my best to keep to my word, out of honour. An example I can use is the Bretonians. In the time before my departure, our convoys made no efforts to land or deliver within Bretona as we were granted free passage through their territory, neutrality and a few keen pieces of kit which I hold to this day. Upon my latest visit to Bretona, they treated me as hostile as the Corsairs. Suffice to say I won't be breaking the terms on which they granted me various items of kit, but I am now seeking to hit them hardest of all with The Orange Dream for breaking their word."

Before we continue, are there not more areas of interest from yourself to discuss first senor?"
