"I am afraid there are too many unknown variables, too many factors beyond my control. Your offer is generous, and thoughtful, but I cannot conduct any so controversial operations at this time. It is not a moral judgement, simply a practical concern. Besides, my infrastructure is unsuited for the temporary connections that this sort of transaction would require.  I am, however, willing to conduct business with you and your honoured associates on a more permanent basis. I have considerable resources for facilitating mid- to long-term interplanar trade and some financial expertise as well as excellent connections. There is likely much I can do to make your other operations more efficient and profitable. ooc: Dip 80, Bluff 51, Sense Motive 48.Those attitudes are of course very private, shared only with those who already agree. She's too much a political animal to say anything in public that's not ultimately beneficial to her social standing. [sblock]Ok.ooc:I realised my posts must look pretty boring, so I'm cutting down on the secrecy for now.-Before departing to the party Melanoce begins investigating the potentialities of establishing a system of permanent gates on 1-5 locations on 20-30 different worlds and dimensions, all portals linked together via 1-3 central hubs on the more significant locations. She's looking to make the most of correcting any current inefficiencies in interplanetary trade between stable and reliable partners. And makes plans for bying a Mirror of Mental Prowess for enabling more temporary traffic.[/sblock]Meanwhile Melanoce sends two brief messages to Citizen Sigil of Kaydia and Lord Direspirit of Atropos introducing herself and offering her services. [sblock=Shayuri]The psionic message carries a subtle aura of friendly professionalism and respect."Lady Sigil, I must begin by offering my sincerest apologies for waiting until now in offering my compliments to you, your many accomplishments and your beautiful planet. Such purity is an enviable thing, and also extremely marketable if handled with due care and respect. It is my small talent to master the humble business of the Marketplace and it has come to my attention that you seek to broaden the base of Kaydia's economy as well as usher in some needed modernisations to improve the quality of life for your people. As a close neigbour and fellow citicen I understand some of the challenges of your position and I would love to help you and lovely Kaydia in any way I can. Please consider this an invitation into a long and prosperous relationship.Your, Melanoce of Otajan 5 "[/sblock][sblock=Rino]"My Lord Direspirit, it is not my intention to steal too much of your precious time by discussing the low and tedious business of Commerce, so I shall present my offer briefly without the ceremony my respect for you should require. I have long been an admirer of the Craft, though my skill in such matters pales compared to yours, and in my studies and researches I have come across much that would be useful to one of your specialisation and mastery. You may have heard of the artifact Codex Mortuus, it is but a part of the goods I am able to offer you in trade. Exotic spell components, magical and technological rarities, as well as bulk goods and financial services are all at my fintips. In exchange I want an exclusive right to your mining and trade in faerzress-infused ore as well your consideration of a long-term cooperation between equals in certain matters of security and intersphere politics. Please consider this my humble invitation into a long and prosperous relationship.Your, Melanoce of Otajan 5[/sblock]</blockquote>
