''Indeed, indeed. You must be Cynthia Decker.''
Trade Master Jian, a Raid veteran, who killed around 10 enemy fighters and a frigate in one battle in the Great Pirate Raid, stood before Cynthia Decker.
A small Ghat, he measured around 2 meters with long blue hair and two bright eyes, one red and a old prototype mechanic eye.
His coat, made of blue-dyed leather, together with his fur scarf and a red-white tuxedo looked quite eccentric.

''Please don't mind my eye, a pirate shot it off when I was 18. Great Pirate Raid.. Fifty years ago. Hm.''
Jian dozes off for a second.
''Oh! Look at me, just dozing off when remembering the history. Ehm. Well, do you have any questions right away?''

Duranno nodded, and his guards followed behind him. They walked over to the skiff, and climbed into the taxi.

"What exactly, do the different alliances represent? How come you can't take a different alliance's cab? " Duranno asked, looking at Pete.

[Grittonia]

''Ah, the Alliances. Well, see the Alliances like Unions. Maybe a bit more mafia-like. When the Main Base was built, it used a number of construction crews who had a contest who finished their part first, and so it began. It's not like we can't take another alliance's cab, only when we take a Duo Alliance cab, we recieve a discount as a member. Currently there are three main alliances, printing the list now.''

Pete DaVroc puked out a piece of paper.

Duo Alliance
A general Alliance, controlled by the current Chairman Sann Duo. Controls 15% of all business in the Main Base and protects the businesses with the legal police.

Sev' Alliance
A Alliance using it's roots in the Transport business, controlled by Sev Tev. Controls 10% of all business in the Main Base and uses a special force, the Sev Security Corp for protection

T'Hunka's Droid Alliance
A Alliance which uses it's connection to EMETH to enlarge it's power, controlled by T'Hunka Merr-Sonn Mandal. Controls 5% of all business in the Main Base and only accepts droids to protect and equips them to defend themself.

''That basicly lists the three largest alliances. They always send a canidate when the Chairman Elections come and such. Oy, to the Pitt.''

The skiff started moving.

[Groko]

As the skiff glided forward, Duranno listened to Pete. He nodded, taking it all in.

"So, is the main base your HQ? What happened to the Grittionian Home Planet?

[Hornopolis]

''We will go with my Airspeeder, it's a extra large just because of the many stud parties around here. No, just kidding, it's a Church of Money vehicle. Well, now I'm lying again. It's 75% of the time a sinning place. Ehm, I'll get it.''
Greg ran out of the hangar.

1 minute later

A large golden with green colored airspeeder drove in.
''All aboard! Oh, wait. Let me put on some music.''
*Boys, boys, boys! Boys, boys, boys! Sunshine now, so come to town!*

Brecherd looks uneasily at Hosk as they step into the speeder, "So Greg, how long have you lived on this base?" Brecherd looks up when Ghammon asks the question, then turns to look out at the other speeders(?), Brecherd then taps away at the Omni-Tool on his wrist looking for a map of the mainbase, "Hey Greg," Brecherd strains to be heard, "Can you download a map of the two clubs to my Omni-Tool?"

[Grittonia]

As the skiff glided forward, Duranno listened to Pete. He nodded, taking it all in.

"So, is the main base your HQ? What happened to the Grittionian Home Planet?

''The Grittonian Home Planet? Oh, you must mean Grrtary Prime! Well, it's still the HQ for the national gatherings, but we tend to do most international things here as people tend to arrive here. It's beautiful, with large marble pillars and such. Then there is Ghat Prime, which is in our other system which controls the Ghat System. Also, very pretty with black marble which is only found there. Also many iron parts are there due to the Ghattian Iron there.''

[Grittonia]

''I moved in when the entire exterior was done, I believe it was 30 or so years ago? I was one of the first who moved in. I still have a small home on Grrtary Prime but I almost never use it. Ehm... A map? Sure. Which network does your Omni-Tool use? HoloNet? TransGalacticService?''

"Uh it uses Federal-Network, is that a problem?" Hosk nods his head and looks around the speeder, "Is there a latrine on this boat?"

[Groko]

Snip

"Oh." Duranno noted.

"So, how do you keep the base stable? A base this large must have issues keeping it's distance from the planet, with Gravity and all. As a matter of fact, what do you do to guard against asteroids, solar storms and such?"

Duranno looked at Pete curiously while he waited for a answer.

[Grittonia]

"Uh it uses Federal-Network, is that a problem?" Hosk nods his head and looks around the speeder, "Is there a latrine on this boat?"

''Federal-Network... Ah, I'm recieving the signal. I'll wire the map. A latrine? Ehm... Depends. Do you mind privacy? On the back seat, you can lift and move the seat. There's a toilet there.''

[Grittonia]

snip.

''Well, that's the beauty. From one side, we are protected by a wormhole and a nebula. The other side is a quite stable asteroid field which we keep in control via a automated laser turret system. Solar storms almost never happen here but with the Ghat Iron we use, they only burn the surface of the Main Base which protects Grrtary Prime and we can repair it fairly quickly. And the other side is a direct route to the Ghat System. But we do pay for it as this system has almost no natural resources except a healthy soil and a good ecodiversity. So we get the things from the Ghat System and in trade send food and such which they need. Technicly, this even is a Sector instead of a System due to it's small size.''

[Groko]

"Interesting." Duranno noted, glancing at the road ahead.

"Well, I'm happy to know the system's safe."

He leaned back into his seat, watching the base's interior flash by.

"So, are we gonna pass by any major events? Or parts of the base that are landmarks of some sort?"

[Hornopolis]

-snip-

"Much appreciated, I don't want to get lost when getting to Hosk." Brecherd smiles and looks at Hosk, "Uh never mind, I'll use the latrine at the club." Brecherd looks down when his Omni-Tool pings, "Hey I got pinged, thanks for the maps my friend, these will come in handy." Brecherd stands up and moves towards the latrine, trying his best to conceal himself as he uses it, "Hey no peeking."

[Grittonia]

"Interesting." Duranno noted, glancing at his guards.

"Well, I'm happy to know the system's safe."

He leaned back into his seat, watching the base's interior flash by.

"So, are we gonna pass by any major events? Or parts of the base that are landmarks of some sort?"

''Ehm.. Well, we will come by the Centre Traffico, which is the most used traffic point in the entire station and it is in the dead center. Then, we will come through the Red Places where the most prostitution happens, and they say they have someone and something for every race. After that, we will be there.''

[Groko]

"Oh. Ok." Was all Duranno could muster.

He had been caught of guard by Pete's last statement, and decided to just sit back and be quiet the rest of the way.

Brecherd stands up and moves towards the latrine, trying his best to conceal himself as he uses it, "Hey no peeking."

Greg quickly peeks.
''Mah, it's not the largest one I've seen but not the smallest one. You know, one time I had one who was 33 centimeters... Oh well.''
The music continues in the background.
*Hold me tight, my love tonight! Everybody, Summertime love, You remember me! Be my lover, be my baby.*

[Hornopolis]

Brecherd quickly covers himself, "Goddamn!" he zips up and takes his seat, "33 centimeters?" Hosk smiles, "So is there anything remarkable on this station, or is it just metal?" Brecherd flips through his Omni-Tool, "So you guys have a 'Redlight center' here huh?" Brecherd looks around, "Is it good? i mean I have seen some pretty good ons around the galaxy, especially at my homestation, Purgatory, but is it good around here?" Hosk starts to laugh, "You won't get anything for free here Hans, they probably don't know anything about your father."

''33 centimeters, indeed. But, I need explain with it that we Ghat's are slightly.. larger built. Well, I'm remarkable and not all of metal... The Redlight center? Well, it's not as good as me but they say it has someone for each race and taste. They do some freaky things there. And, no, I don't know anything about your father. So, tell me. Who's your daddy?''

[Hornopolis]

Brecherd leans in, "My father's name is Vendetta, well thats what everyone calls him, his reall name is Jaimes, but thats not very menacing is it? well anyway my father runs several criminal syndicates as well as two criminal banking syndicates within Federation space, he is a asshole really but everyone fears him, he runs a hugely popular gambling/prostitution nightclub on the spacestation Purgatory, not a place to raise a child, lots of death there, anyway he pretty mush runs the place seeing that only one Federation starship enters the system every two months, anyway I see I'm boring you so i'll shorten it, I get sexual incounters for free while my father stays in control of the spacestation, which is extremely hard to pull off, although he has survived over twenty years as 'leader', its a good place for prositution." Hosk smiles, "That wasn't a shortened version, thats was half your whole bio!"

[The Webway Combine]

*snip*

Deckers shakes her head, letting the gesture draw attention from her hand being withdrawn. In retrospect, a handshake would be awkward with the height difference. "No questions yet, mainly I don't know what questions to ask yet. Our intentions are to expand our trade presence with galactic powers, which means building elite trade platforms in their systems. So, I suppose I do have a question: How can the industries of the Webway Combine be of benefit to Grittonia?"

At the question, Cynthia perks a brow and looks intently at the Trade Master. Depending on the quality of the prosthetic eye, he may note that there's only one biological eye between the pair of them, Cynthia's eyes being well-built prosthetics.

[Nixz Unzgul]

Dear viable power,

We, from the GBA, are seeking more allies/customers/victims.

As such, we are planning a Grand Banquet of New Allies to discuss a alliance between our great powers which we represent.
The GBNA will be held in our magnificent Main Base which can be seen from anywhere in the Grrtary Sector/System.
When you arrive at the Grrtary Sector (You can choose to arrive via a Hermes Gate, a Wormhole gate, A Main Base Catching module, Warp, Hyperspace or random luck), you will need to communicate with the Main Base and when they ask a entry point code reply: #00F100U

Then, a small patrol will come and escort you to your allocated hangar and there will be your personal guide which will be able to guide you around, should you want to have a tour around the Main Base.

Signed,
Chairman Sann Duo.

March with arms, as being shot isn't profitable.

Somewhere in the system, of that dark sea, a cloud small as an imp's eye crept along. Soon it formulated a reply.

Dear, Chairman - Sann Dou, I,

Am interested in your proposal. Might I - Receive an entry code?

-Rffemarx Nightstaff

Caballero looked at Four Fingered Freddy. He was a behemoth, ready to kill Caballero at any point with this tractor beam.

Caballero drew his mini-cutlass', waved them in the air, and leant forward, ready to slice triple F into small pieces.

"Come on then!"

''Well, we're here.''
They stopped at a large door where, with neon lights, stood: Bar Module 003
Inside, the three bars had large signs so that the foreigners, who were the prime target, would not miss them.
''I believe the Pussy Cat Club is to the left..''

"Many thanks Greg, would you like to accompany me to the bar?" Brecherd shakes Greg's hand and waves to the two aliens as he goes towards the Pussy Cat Club, "Have fun Ghammon!"

''Well, simply bringing your ships to resupply here can benefit us. We are far away in the Galaxy but have a good stream of traffic due to the smugglers and pirates but also legitimate businessmen recognising our cheap prices and good products. We also accept all 888 currencies. That, and in a hostile galaxy, we are like a bastion of neutrality.''

Jian's eye was a early prototype and as most GBA cybernetics served a basic role: to help the persons eyesight.
While Jian had made some enhancements, it for example allowed him to search the GBA's database while not in reach of a computer terminal, it didn't allow him to scan someone, for that it was too old.

''If there are any other questions, please ask. Now, I have a question. What would you like to do before the banquet begins?''
