Eupen Handelsplatz Inauguration

Forum Roleplay Event

Station

---

Distinguished guests from both Rheinland and Liberty have converged upon Eupen Handelsplatz, reflecting the significance of this unique moment. Entrepreneurs, government officials, and visionary leaders don their finest attire as they embark on a journey of deals, collaboration and partnership that transcends national boundaries.

The station's corridors are abuzz with activity as delegates engage in negotiations, signing agreements that will foster a robust inter-regional trade network. Luxury boutiques, containing housing goods from both Rheinland and Liberty, invite visitors to explore the richness and diversity of products that will soon flow through the channels of commerce between these nations. Gastronomic delights from both regions tempt the taste buds of guests at the grand banquet, merging traditional recipes and culinary innovations. The aroma of Rheinland's hearty dishes mingles with the delicate flavors of Liberty's cuisine, creating a symphony of tastes that celebrate the fusion of cultures and the harmonious blending of culinary arts.

Eupen has been temporarily transformed to fit the current celebration. The facilities in the cafeteria have been temporarily removed to make room for a spacious dance floor with a local DJ from Houston. The bar on the opposite side of it has been polished and features a jazz band for a more relaxed experience. Behind the corridor at the main entrance, a small, improvised restaurant has been added for people prefering calm and personal conversations.

This forum event is for characters within a lawful company that conduct business in both Rheinland and Liberty. Said companies must have at the minimum a neutral stance with both houses. Representatives from the Liberty- and Rheinland governments are welcome too. The event consists of 3 rooms: The bar, the discotheque and the restaurant.

Vorsitzender Basti Legion was a little nervous. While he occasionally had to make speeches since joining SEO, he never really got used on speaking to a crowd. This event was important to him. The company worked hard to make this station possible. He took a deep breath, sighed and went up the podium that was placed in the middle of the event room.

Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Inauguration of Eupen Handelsplatz. I’m not one for speeches, so I will try to keep it brief.

Today marks a momentous occasion as corporations doing business in these two economic powerhouses, Rheinland and Liberty, come together to forge a new era of collaboration in the vastness of space. Amidst the cosmic backdrop, we gather here to witness a new start - a humble refinery that symbolizes the strengthening ties and shared vision between these two influential regions. Eupen’s strategic location serves as a nexus for trade, cultural exchange, and diplomatic discourse, fostering mutual understanding and paving the way for a prosperous future.

As a final note, I want to thank a few organizations for helping us making this event possible. AWES for bringing additional security measures. Orion Breweries for their catering services and drinks. And last but not least: OS&C for flying our guests here in comfort and safety! Now, let us raise our glasses, toast to the bond between Rheinlanders and Libertonians, and embrace the boundless opportunities that lie ahead in this remarkable journey of diplomacy and progress!

An applause echoed with folks raising their drinks right after. Music starting not too long after. "Another speech survived." He silently said to himself. Feeling more relieved, Basti looked around, got off the podium and walked towards some of the guests for more personal greetings.

Synon stood at a small high table near the back, enjoying himself a dram of whiskey that his company had delivered. He had a fine suit and tie in navy blue, white shirt and polished leather shoes. It was an honor to be part of the preparation and business involved, as well as attending the inauguration. Especially since his company was small, in relation to many others. But being specialized in brews pays dividends.

Basti, which Synon had been in contact with, held his opening speech and it seemed well-received. Synon raised his glass from the back when Orion Breweries was mentioned, some guests looked over, notably unaware of who he was. As the speech finished, Synon took another sip and looked around the room, various representatives from all around seemed to have arrived. People started to mingle and a steady social murmuring filled the room. Synon looked at Basti coming into the crowd, and raised his glass again towards him and nodded as a cheers. Synon wouldn't take up Basti's time initially, as Synon felt there were more esteemed representatives for Basti to mingle and make connections with.

Synon naturally made his way to the more relaxed bar and took a seat in front of the bartender. He started chatting with other guests also taking a seat there, some pleasantries and introductions were made. As he presented himself as CEO of Orion Breweries, fond interest in the brews arose and Synon gladly entertained his bar neighbors with a whisky guide and tasting. Speaking about the notes of the dram, casks that were used and much more. Some of the guests coming into the bar overheard and joined in behind them.

The event was in good spirits it seemed from Synon's point of view and it was good for connections and business. O'Brew, as his company was called often, came through Texas regularly, going between Liberty and Rheinland for business. Synon realized that Eupen would be a good stop for O'Brew's upcoming Liner Bar route and he also took inspiration of Eupen's bar interior design.

The tasting turned into casual conversation and laughs. Some potential business opportunities were also discussed.

Synon enjoyed himself, but he also made sure the goods he delivered were up to par and was able to be enjoyed fully for SEO's guests.

Out of thin vacuum, a Bustard carrier suddenly appeared mere kilometers away from Eupen. It was no other than The Infinite Sunrise, flagship of New Horizon Industries.

"Huh," said the ship's captain, Vecesco Trebitti, surprised no less than the guests aboard the station watching out the windows. "That's the closest I ever managed to jump to a destination!"

"Cheers, mate!" Proclaimed Hayden Archer, through his thick pilot's helmet. "A near bloody miss if you ask me, but I won't judge..."

"Oh Great Ape, please let me find my lost friends aboard this station" prayed Chip, as the carrier's comm officer requested to moor.

Upon establishing the mooring link, three diverse and rather bizarre figures descended onto the station's floor, leaving the crew puzzled as to what to do with such a large ship parked at their bay.

Vecesco Trebitti - CEO of New Horizon Industries. A man of science and business. Inventor of revolutionary space-travel technologies. Jack of many trades, master of some.

Hayden Archer, a.k.a The Raging Thunder - Cheif of Security at NHI. Once a nobody, who trained and slowly ascended to be a renowned ace pilot. He had sworn an oath to protect all traders in need from the threats of pirates and aliens alike.

Chippopo "Chip" Lemural - One of the very few survivors of the Primus Genocide, hoping to meet more of his kind anywhere he goes. Yes, he's a humanoid monkey who likes to do business.


The three went on from the bay to the main hall. Hayden nudged Vecesco and tried to whisper, not realizing his helmet amplifies his speech: "Oy boss, do you really think it was a good idea to bring the monkey?"

"You know I can hear that, right?" Said Chip, trying not to sound too offended. "At least I don't wear a helmet to hide my ugly face."

"So you admit that you're ugly, monkey face?! I wear that for safety. Who knows where and when we'll get attacked."

"Seriously, Hayden, why don't you take it off for once? This is a special occasion."

"No can do, boss. This is the way I go. You can never be too safe around places like this."

"Alright amico, have it your way."

"Yeah keep hiding that ugly human skin of yours!"

Hayden grunted inside his helmet as the three of them approached an empty podium with a thin crowd surrounding it. "Seems like we missed the opening speech," said Vecesco once the three of them stopped to look around. "Yeah, what a shame, huh?" Added Hayden, sarcastically.

"Alright amicos," Vecesco said in a commanding tone, "let's split up to cover as much area as we can. Remember, our primary goal here is to gain some reputation and get the word our there we're ready and willing to do any job there is; no matter how dirty it would be."

"You mean, even if it's monkey business?"

"Oh boo hoo!"

Vecesco continued to be serious, ignoring the two stooges jabbing at each other. "I think I'll be going to the bar, I could really use a drink. What about you guys?"

Hmm, Hayden though, where can I go and keep my helmet on? Ah yes! The dance floor!
"I'll go to the dance floor, boss."


"Then that leaves me with the restaurant. Perfect! I was just getting hungry."

"Hungry for bananas?"

Chip gave Hayden a really nasty look, but chose not to reply. "Good," said Vecesco, "we're settled then. Enjoy the event, amicos!"

The three split up, each to their facility of choice, in hopes to find a curious adventure heading their way.

Cait smiled as her Liner Came near the Eupen Handelsplatz. She was standing on the Bridge of the Red Velvet Club and her Bright Red Bretonian Liner could be seen from the station
with the Naked Eye already as it shined in the Sunlight. Caitlyn and Stephanie Cross were on the Bridge in their Gala Clothes and watched over the Docking Process. While Cait where in a Black Tuxedo with some Red Decals and a Red Vest underneath the jacket, Stephanie Meanwhile had Chosen something more Classical and Choose a Long Black Dress. Both of them had Decided to Wear their Hair in an Open Fashion but as Always Cait had Suprised her wife and got a Blue Jilly Folwer that she could wear in her hair.

Cait: well here we are, I can't wait to dance with my little Ballerina. I am really looking forward to seeing this station and the Fun they have Prepared for us.

Steph smiled and looked at her as she hears how the Crew Tells them the Docking Process is Completed and the Ship is Secured. Both of them would nod and make their way over to the station and listen to the Speech of Vorsitzender Legion. They smiled and Raised their Glasses as he mentioned OS&C. After the Speech Cait would smile at Steph and holds her hand to her and makes a little bow as she asked for a Dance. Steph smiled and giggled as she took her hand and followed her to the Dancefloor. Both Women were giggling and smiling as it was clear that Steph was a way better Dancer than Cait, but they still managed to have a nice and Romantic Dance and had a great time. After a while, they would take a Break to Eat something and take Drink and get some Rest. The Party was great so far and they would look forward to what the rest of the evening would bring to them.

Steph: It's such a Lovely Party meine Liebste (my Love). I can't wait to see what else we can do today. This station is really Nice and I think we could make it a Daytrip Destination for the people of Baden Baden or the Liners that pass Trough.


Even though she liked the idea of making the Handelsplatz a Destination for Tourists this was not the time to talk about Buissnes, so she laid a Finger on Stephanies Lips to shut her up and then leans over the table and then gave her a long and Loving Kiss. She smiled cheekily after the Kiss Ended and looked at Steph with a Sparkle of Love in her eyes.

Cait: Now is not the time for that Liebes (Love). Today we enjoy ourselves, and we can think about the Work tomorrow.

Steph smiled and leans over the Table to give Cait a Kiss of her own as she where looking forward to what the Rest of the night would bring for the both of them on this Wonderfull Station.

Eupen Handelsplatz, Texas System

Exiting the tradelane near Planet Houston, a luxurious Shukensha liner steers true and gracefully towards the SEO base, escorted by a light wing of corporate security fighters and gunboats. After all docking of the vessel to the station are completed, executive officers and high level administration from All Worlds Enterprises & Securities and their entourage depart to enjoy the celebration underway for this grand opening.

The group listens to the opening speech and briefly explores afterwards, taking in the venue, and the crowd around them.

Eylon: "They've really decked the place out for this event! Look at all of the different cuisine and drinks available... incredible! Caitlin! Yaeko! Rei! Are you seeing all of these VIPs present? The deals that could be done here..."

Caitlin: "Come on, Eylon, you know that's not why WE are here... Don specifically said 'enjoy the party, keep the business talk light'. Sometimes I think we should be taking these trips more often to get your head out of all the paperwork you dive into daily! In fact, I'm going to add them to the schedule and call them 'team building retreats'."

Yaeko: "Count me in! I'm working in and around Roppongi Station all the time, but it's not the same unless you are enjoying the whole experience with your close friends! Maybe we'll make it our next destination - or at least put it on the list! I know there's a few of you who haven't been there yet... I'm looking at you, Rachel!"

Rei: "It sounds like a great idea, so long as we can find some downtime in operations on the station."
*The entire group around Rei groans collectively*
"What's that about? I can find downtime! I'll work it out with the suppliers! Speaking of which... anyone seen Basti since the speech? I should at least have a drink with our host... but it's also my mission to see if that Rheinlander can dance!"

Rachel: "Oh Rei! The poor guy is likely run off his feet entertaining the crowd, showing off their station's achievements. Eylon, I think I saw Synon Islay near the bar... I mean, he stands out - he's one of the sharpest dressers here and catches your eye! I'm going to grab a quick bite and meet the rest of you out on the dance floor! Don! Don! You said you'd try to get out there this time around! Don't let us down! "

---

Don Vega smiles at the comment, remembering an earlier promise on the trip from Salt Lake Station he made that he was hoping might be forgotten as the night progressed.

---

Don: "You got it, Rachel. I'll be sure to get my share of dance floor real estate and help demonstrate how Liberty likes to party it up."

"In the meantime, beforehand, I'll make the rounds and get our business interests satisfied so Interspace is represented well today. Despite my advice to everyone today, the captain has to keep steering regardless of the activities onboard!"

---

The group splits up, with most heading towards the discotheque and the restaurant. Don's now alone, aside from his regular pair of security officials assigned to his detail. He heads to the bar, orders a small glass of Whiskey, then begins to work his way through the crowd with a smile, touching base with as many business contacts as he comes across, like a politician working the electorate. Uniting the Worlds through Finance is a life's work that requires constant diligence.

[OutpostOzymandias]

James, the owner of Outpost Ozymandias arrived in no special fashion at all, a mere peasant in the eyes of those he'd be hoping to brush shoulders with. He looked the part, but had already invested billions into a plan which had only just moved a station within Liberty.

He wasn't even sure he was welcome, being such a small fish in such a big pond.

The only thing he had in common was he had a huge ambition, huge plans. Perhaps if things go well he could arrange a few deals with the corporations which were present to meet. It could be quite beneficial for his plans. Perhaps one day he could arrive in a more suitable way.

James scans his eyes across the dance floor, then the bar. He set a plan in his head to strike up conversation and hoped it lead somewhere good.

Taking a seat on an unoccupied section of the bar, he orders a drink and awaits events to unfold.

EUPEN HANDELSPLATZ - TEXAS SYSTEM

---

What seems to be, a special modified Corvo class ship approaches the docking terminal of Eupen Handelsplaz. The ship is showing NSE|=Anarion information on scanners & it is escorted by a couple of heavily equipped VHF class fighters which landed at the same landing pad next to the Anarion. A couple of guards stood next to the exit doors of the Anarion ship waiting for the doors to be opened. A door opened and 2 more guards exit the Anarion, checking the automatic landing stairs forming up towards the Eupen Handesplatz doors.

In a moment, the silence was all you can hear, then Sara Tanaka, Sakura Takahashi, Hina Nakamura, and Shinzo Hashidate exited the Anarion, heading directly towards the party entrance. The music started to fill the place and the general atmosphere turned fresher as they approach the main halls of the party. The DJ was shining and the party was full of well-known characters from all over the Sirius sector. Some of the NSE guests meet up with SEO representatives, who gave a warm welcome to the NSE crew.

Everybody stood in respect listening to the great speech by the SEO Vorsitzender Basti Legion. It was a great speech, Sara felt glad about being invited to this party. It is a good opportunity for the Nebula Technologies to increase its work and business limits to Rhienland and Liberty House spaces. Members of the great AWES interspace commerce were seen around and that grabbed the attention of the Nebula CEO, Sara Tanaka who headed directly towards the AWES CEO, Mr. Don Vega who was having a drink at the bar. She has grown a good business relationship with the AWES corporation. The rest of the Nebula crew swam with the music flow and started interacting with some guests.
