You take a glance at the tablet before you, you skip about a hundred pages and go to the end of the numerous reports the foreman and his crew stayed up all night to finish and quickly see that the current estimate rests around 110 common materials and everything combined will probably take a bit more than a year of non-stop work around the clock.

“Well.” The margrave begins. “Seeing as how the situation currently is, I am willing to provide protection for your colony during our stay here. Anyone trying to threaten your colony while we are here, shall be our enemy.”

“Sound like something you should consider to begin with. If the docks are gone, so is your ability for repair.” You state instantly noticing the flaw in the idea.

“True.” The margrave nods with a smile. “We will just negotiate with the new force that comes to power. Either way, I will find a way to acquire the repairs I need.”

You nod. “And what do you want to knock off the expense for that ?”

He leans back in the chair, fiddling with his half cape. “I am a reasonable man; I would say ten percent. At the end of the day, I still have to pay the salaries of a few thousand sailors for the entire time.”

“Very well. And the other ninety percent ?”

“Currency. Piconeutrons specifically. I would have offered house currency, but I think you would enjoy a more universal means of exchange. A milineutron per one standard unit of common material. A fair price, perhaps a bit more than above average rate.”

~~Due to good relations, the margrave is offering 1:1 exchange rate of common materials and influence.~~

“Sounds fair.” You nod.

Mykell nods to one of his men. “My lord had given my permission to offer you the captured craft we had secured from the People’s Democratic Republic of Hojun. This includes 6 Guard-class fighters and 2 Proletariat-class bombers.

These craft are of inferior quality to our own House craft, however based on our own preliminary examinations and tests, these craft, while offering little creature comforts, their construction is cheap, considering their far superior quality based on most local state designs we had accumulated so far.” In a calm, even, droning, boring voice, the man concludes.

“You could work on them if you want to, figure out how it works, or maybe just employ them. Either way, I would be willing to let go of them for 5 percent discount.”

“We will consider it.” While saying so, you kick Zack’s leg in order to remove his expression of I instantly accept. “And what of food, water ? I know from personal experience, people, especially soldiers, consume a lot of calories and drink a lot of water.”

“A potential issue. One that we have a, potential, solution for.” Mykell says with a chuckle.

“Which is ?”
