Secret Meeting

Posted on Thu May 24th, 2012 @ 3:25pm by Samanthia Akiashiro

Mission: The Mystery Men of Mira
Location: Lower Decks of SB332

The Boss, Termi'Aldo and Rapheal Akiashiro sat in the plush private office of Orion Crime Lord's office, sipping brandy as they discussed the next round of mayhem for the station to get rid of the Starfleet Presence. It was bad enough to deal with the Fleet as it was an ongoing negotiations on who actually controlled the base.

"Dammit! Therm! I know how ya feel, my friend. I spent good money, pulled ships from my merchant fleet, arranged for the techs to get this decrepid station from it's previous location to here at my expence after Fleet abandoned it in the neighboring sector to here. After dealing with the Federation Council, and Fleet Admiralty to gain approval for the move here." Rapheal stood up to pace to burn off the building anger.

"We tried just about everything!" Thermi'Aldo growled as he to stood, having respect for the sherwd Merchant Lord. He admired how he had moved an entire starbase into his sector of space. "It's them damn Marine presence that gonna ruin everything. Now Security is getting bolder and coming down to these lower decks." He paused to fill his glass with more Brandy and offered more to Rapheal. "They talked with your newest daughter, Sammy, while she was there checking up on her Back Ally Bar."

Rapheal growled at hearing that, "I'll have a talk with her on that. So far they've been staying off my deck 1403 according to our latest agreement. But with the added presence of the Marines. Space is going to be at premium. We need to do something to get rid of them once for all. Or cut down on their presence." He held out his glass for the refill, when his pacing brought him near Thermi'Aldo.

"If they get to nosey down here, I may have to move to a newer location..." Thermi'Aldo began.

"No! Dont even think of it. I dont want your thugs on my deck amongst my family heirlooms. Some of those stuff are more valuable than even you can afford!" Rapheal growled interrupting Thermi'Aldo. Turning to face him for the classic stare-down and battle of wills.

Thermi'Aldo waved the bottle of liquor and poured the drink, refusing to make eye contact for the staredown, "We have to move someplace. Donitello, her goup already lost the battle with Fleet and have the displaced civilians living on her deck, she had reserved for herself."

"Then get with the Vinni's to back off to lessen the presence of the Federation Stormtroopers. I don't see how it is gonna profit both of us if there is a continued upgrade in the presence of the Fleet and Marines here in this sector." Akiashiro growls, then taking a sip of brandy.

"I have no say in the matter! Vinni's aligned themselves with the Sorjourners, by giving them old stolen ships from the various holding places that Fleet control for their old warships and decomissioned ships." Thermi'Aldo growled back. If Akiashiro wasn't an important personage aboard the station, He'd just barg in and take a section of the Akiashiro 1403 Deck. But then if that happened, Akiashiro's ships would stop hauling CSO goods into and out of this sector. Or the price would climb dramically.

"Talk to your bosses to declare war on them and interrupt their trade." Rapheal smirked. "Come on! Either get the grey matter that is between your ears, working, or I'll go over your head for a replacement. Someone who aint afraid to make the Vinni's lose business."

"Now wait a minute! No need to get insultive here!" Yelled Thermi'Aldo, turning red with anger. "I'm doing my best here to keep the peace between our factions. A Gang War happening right now would not be in our favor. It'd bring in more fleeters. More pressure on the both of us! And you would have to open your precious floor to everyone!" Slamming the glass to the bar counter, spilling brandy over the sides from the impact.

"Then we gotta find away to get rid of the extra presence of the Marines on this station. Right now as things stand, any more presence of the Fleet would interfere with both of our business oppertunity here. I finally got open negotiations going with the Ritorians for exchange of merchandice. And Ritorian Stuff is going be in great demand all over the Federation." Rapheal paused to take a drink of the brandy. "Once we can lower the presence of Fleet and Marines here to a minuim."

Thermi'Aldo eyes lit up as he cooled off, "Don't forget that I paved the way for you to get that contract. You should be very grateful, Rapheal." Thermi'Aldo voice purred, smiling. "You owe me for that."

"And I'm giving you a discount and space on my Frieghters for your goods for opening up the negotiation between us and the Ritter's." Rapheal nodded sagely as he countered deftly.

Thermi'Aldo took a thoughtful slow drink of his brandy. "I'll look into this matter from my end and see if you can get the Ritorians to get the Sojuorners to back off abit. Let things cool down till Fleet needs the Marines elsewhere."

Rapheal nodded and took his leave, heading back up to the upper levels, leaving Thermi'Aldo to his schemes.
