There was a stage set up off to the side in Blackwell's new outdoor testing facility. It had been built for such a demonstration, lights and Cameras were already set up. It had been weeks since Gil and Tasha's last talk. Regardless of his feelings, he had work to do, and plans had already been set in motion.
Gil and a fellow slicer had broken into the headquarters of Greff-Timms Industrial and stolen the plans for the PIPE while they had sent another team to sabotage a demonstration by the company of the weapons and spread rumors of the products malfunctioning. Greff-Timms stocks had fallen drastically in the last few weeks.
It had taken no time for the Blackwell scientist to tweak the plans, making it look different enough that it would pass as their version. With buyers trying to return their hardware in droves as confidence in the older model plummeted. Now was their time to strike.
Today they unveiled Blackwell's version of the weapon. They had invited representatives from several major powers in the Galaxy. Gil noted the Mandalorians in the back, eager to see the new hardware at work.
Gil loosened his tie ever so slightly. He wasn't a fan of being at the forefront of things, but to ensure everything went off without a hitch, he wouldn't have missed this for anything. He stood off to the side of the platform as reporters, and prospective buyers alike took their seats, and Tasha took the stage.
Gil smiled as she did so, not sure if she even saw him. One her aids, Emerald certainly did. Gil's smiled widened a bit, and he winked as she followed the CEO on stage.
