Three Bottles

[Caliban]

---

Caliban was fidgeting with the glass of well refined whiskey as the two de-facto leaders of their respective groups came to an agreement. Not entirely deaf to what was discussed and aware that the stage lights were now on him, Caliban stood up with both hands resting against the wooden table. He replied with a stoic attitude and determination to see this uncommon alliance through as the equalizer to keep either side from overstepping set boundaries.

"[The Buro will honor their part of their deal as per agreement, as will The Alliance allow for scientific operations to start.]" - he looked at Damien as summed up what has been said for the past hour in one swift sentence, before turning to the Direktor. - "[If you don't mind, Direktor: I will oversee The Buro's activities within Ontario and coordinate with Damien to make sure everything goes smoothly. Scientific breakthroughs, deliveries, the potential of joint operations and so on.]"

Partial silence overtook the table at which these three individuals were seated. There was little left to say after Caliban left has set his own terms for this operation. A mediator between factions that are at odds with one another - to play as insurance in case either tried overstep and attempt to prevent such. He knew Damien's ruthlessness and dislike of House authority, and was more than familiar with The Buro's resolve to get things done at no short expense of human life. Neither would stop the merc from hoping that a positive conclusion would come out of all this. One where all sides win and neither gives in to their paranoia.

"[I believe this should be it. Unless there are no objections of course.]"
