There was a moment’s pause at the Allanean Defense Exports headquarters as the message arrived, and the news of the vast order were digested. It was not a regular matter, even for the vast corporate umbrella group that covered most of Allanea’s military exports, for a five-trillion dollar contract to be offered by a major Greater Dienstad nation. Coming as it did on the heels of major contracts from Lamoni, Korrodos, Kahanistan, and the Holy Marsh, it represented news that would be great not only for Allanean defense companies, not only for their shareholders, but for the national economy entire.
“David, hold my calls!” – Martha Robbins, the press secretary for ADE, said. – “Contact ANN, Liberty Times, and the other ones, we’re going to have a press-conference about this. Oh, and, of course, reply to the Vectorians.”
As the message to the Vectorians was sent out, news of the great deal were already rolling through the capital city – informally, at first, through personal messages to relatives and friends of ADE employees, then on message boards and social network. By the time the response arrived in Victory-City, the Liberty-City Stock Exchange was already edging up slightly. When the news were properly published, the climb became a rally, the rally became a boom.
Official Message from Allanean Defense Exports We are happy to see your order here. ADE will immediately begin transferring the information and sending over the specialists necessary to see production of the various items commence in your nation. As for the Hood-class SDNs, the various subcontractors will be contacted, (some of them in allied countries, as our own harbors are already filled up with orders), and we will begin the production of the warships was soon as we can. Thank you!
