The Accord : Deal Amongst the Crystals

[Outlander]

Chaleydonia.

A growing city casting a long shadow over the rest of the crystal planet. Christophsis had once been plagued by meteor strikes from the surrounding belts, crippling any chance of real planetary development. However, with the development of the planets defense grid, strikes became scarce; virtually eliminated. And the crystal planet grew in prosperity, mining and refining the asteroids around them and making lucrative profits. Chaleydonia was a testament to their new wealth; a massive capital with the planets single largest trade hub.

It was an easy choice for Bria to make. The planet was relatively close to their new and growing base, as well as being along a major trade route out to the core. Easy for her contact to reach her.

She sat down onto the surprisingly warm crystal bench grafted to the wall, checking her chrono before looking to either side. The small corridor out from the landing bays was her chosen place; a nice area to walk and discuss business without being bothered. Now all she had to do was find her trader.

Davian Price had landed in the Celeritate not too far from where he was told to meet his contact. He had received a message a couple days ago, asking if he would meet on Chaleydonia for a potential business venture. As more money always was a good thing for Davian, he accepted and here he was.
The place was pretty cool looking. Unique crystal structures were everywhere, and as he turned a corner he saw his contact sitting on a bench that jutted almost naturally out from the wall. He approached her, smiling warmly and with his hand outstretched. "Well hello there! Name's Davian, Davian Price. It's not often I get requests like this, what can I do for you?"

 

[Outlander]

Bria stood up, reaching a gauntlet out and shaking his hand. "These are unusual times." She released his hand, nodding her head down the hallway. "Walk with me? We can discuss business."

 

[Vosrik]

Davian nodded in assent. "By all means," he stepped aside and motioned along the walkway. "Lead the way, ma'am."
He took the opportunity to look around at the towering crystal spires around him. Davian gestured at the sight, "Don't get to see wonders like these around Coruscant, with so much metal."

 

[Outlander]

"It is rather beautiful." Bria remarked, looking around herself. "Crystals like these are incredibly rare. I've only ever seen them on one other planet." She continued walking, following the curve of the corridor as it wound towards the larger trade hub. "Do you make runs out here often?"

 

[Vosrik]

Davian shook his head absent-mindedly and replied, "No, not often at all. I generally work around the trade routes in the Inner Rim, where I run PriceCorp. Several years back, I came out to the Outer Rim with my father on a couple business trips. Didn't make any particularly profitable trades though, unfortunately." Looking at his jacket, Davian realized the lights reflecting off the crystals looked incredibly fascinating on his burgundy suit.

 

[Outlander]

"I hope I can help fix that somewhat." Bria said, removing a datapad from a pouch at her waist. "I represent a group known as the Accord. We maintain a growing station where we base our operations out of, as well as supporting a small community. It should be apparent that we require resources to maintain ourselves, and we want to get the best freighter captains wr can find to make the runs."

 

[Vosrik]

Davian paused and thought for a moment. "Accord....the Accord....the name rings a bell somewhere." At his contact's implied complement, Davian's chest swelled a bit and he ran a hand through his dark, wavy hair. "Well, I certainly hope I can be of service then. My ship can carry about..." he paused again, mentally counting. "About 60 metric tons of goods. I wouldn't want to push her any more than 65, though. If it's agreeable to you, I would be happy to ship any goods you need."

 

[Outlander]

Bria nodded at his figures, thinking it over. "That should do nicely. Although I am obligated to ask if you have any qualms transporting Weapons? While it's unlikely we'll ever need to ask you to transport them, it's not out of the realm of possibility."

 

[Vosrik]

Davian nodded at her question. "Weapons are fine, just as long as I don't get directly involved in the fighting. I have an associate who can protect me from any basic attacks or ambushes, so you won't need to worry about that. The only thing I won't transport are illegal goods, spices or black marketed products."

 

[Outlander]

"And we'll hopefully never ask you to." Bria assured him. "We don't deal in black market items."

 

[Vosrik]

"Excellent! Although I personally don't trade in Black Marketed stuff, there are some reputable people I know you could get in contact with if the need arises. Now," Davian clapped his hands together with a businessman-like air. "Of course, I will need some more detail in order to begin. Where would you like me to be shipping your supplies to and from? Also, when would you like to start the shipments? I charge by the metric ton of supplies, but I think I can give a discount if you'd like to continue doing business with PriceCorp."

 

[Outlander]

"We'lk start small first. One of our teams recently cleared out a small pirate hideout in a nearby system. Normally, we would transport the materials ourselves, but we're too understaffed and overworked to move it all, not to mention the equipment we'd need to modify to carry their fuel." She tapped her datapad for a second before handing it over to Davian. "Here's the manifest and the projected run. We'll transfer the credits once you complete the full delivery."

 

[Vosrik]

Davian took the datapad in hand and looked through the notes. Everything looked legitimate, and he had no reason to believe they wouldn't fulfill their end of the bargain either. "Alright, everything looks good to me." He gave her a smile and handed back the datapad. "I can even make the shipment right away if you have it ready."

 

[Outlander]

"Last I heard, our boys where almost done cleaning up. They should have everything ready within the day if you can make the trip." Bria took the pad back and double checked the time estimates before nodding.

 

[Vosrik]

"Absolutely." Davian held out his hand again and smiled. "It's a pleasure doing business with the Accord. I'll be seeing you around, I'm sure.

 

[Outlander]

Bria took his hand, shaking it with a firm grip. "We look forward to it. If this run goes well, you can plan for more in the future."

 

[Vosrik]

Nodding, Davian gave her a casual salute. "I'll be there. So long and have a good day." As he turned and walked back to his ship, he took one more look at the tall crystal spires.
