Claudia, followed Sebastian across the station, observing the white decorations and the corridors, all clear and in order, with a touch of what she could not tell, if good taste or eccentric taste. After the walk and Sebastian's speech and welcome message, she sit in front of Riordan and his team.

- charismatic-ally smiling -
Thanks for the tour señor Riordan, the station is impressive. The decoration, the pureness of the white walls and columns, it remembers me from the imperial palace in Crete. -Claudia, grabs with style a decorated glass of wine- This wine looks pretty good, in Crete my uncle have a plantation of grapes, he made some good wine.Not like this... Gal beverage, just to call it something.

- She starts her tablet and sits, with the legs crossed, noticing Riordan's nervousness-
Señor Riordan, I do not bite, do not worry. - smiles - You don't look like an steak, right? I am here for business. Representing the Deterrence interests, as well as the corsairs. As you may know, we live in a pretty dangerous place, I am sure you'r friends would tell you how harsh is the live there. And some... scum make it even harder.

- Claudia, projects two destroyed outcast fighters inside the Barrier cloud -
I see you also have some... pests around, they seem to be everywhere, good thing you also like to wage war against those junkies. You'r defense ministry surely need a hand regarding the outcasts, they are a common menace we do have, right? I am sure we could speak too about that matter after.

- She, drinks a sip of wine after spinning it inside the glass, and smiles gladly -
Ah, I like it, you'r wine is really good señor Riordan. But I am not here to talk about the Outcasts or wine, I am here to present you a commercial treaty between our nations and factions. Crete is hungry of raw materials, find ourselves in need of some materials like Copper, Aluminium, Iridium, and Uranium. As you know, the corsairs have several open fronts and repairing and building ships is everything but cheap. Our shipyards work non stop and we devour materials like there is no tomorrow.

-sighs and drink another sip of wine-
What I propose in the treaty is an indefinite contract between us, we are open to buy Copper from your installations. We will ship it home using our own imperial frigate convoys, you'r scouts saw some in the Tau's I am sure, since our pilots noticed some Crayter pilots just watching in the distance with communications offline. So tell señor Riordan, what do you think?

- Claudia reviews his tablet after the speech-
