"Expanding Production would always be grateful," Mr. Jung responded with a smile. "In fact, that was another thing we contacted you about," he said as he pulled out a folder with holographic storage disc and an actual paper certificate. "We were able to get you a license for operations with in Imperial Territory," he stated as he slide both paper and disc to Aerin. "With this, Fraulein, you are able to set up production facilities and branch offices in areas designated for civilian use. Of course, I'd recommend using stations rather than planets considering the heavy gravity on the majority of our colonized worlds. Plus, the homeworld can be a dangerous place for non-Abwehrans," he explained with a weak smile.

"Furthermore, vaccinations are mandatory for all foreign visitors," Cundry spoke up before grimacing. "Especially after that Khorsovaroloran Incident," she muttered.

"Now now...no need to bring that up," Udo warned.

"ah, yes. We heard of that. That's an unfortunate side effect of coming into contact with a formerly closed ecosystem, and difficult to avoid. it is too bad Origin was not large enough to help at that time, but perhaps we can help preventing other accidents." Aerin nodded, completely understanding, she had read the official reports, and the 'real' reports from some of her old contacts.

"Anyway, back on topic. About stations, would it be fine if we built our own stations within your space? just one station of the same class you are currently on should be enough to supply your nation almost indefinitely should orders remain at the level they are." Aerin graciously accepted the license from Udo, smiling at the Abwehran man as she did so.

"I really do look forward to continuing work with you, it has been most pleasant and agreeable."

"Of course," Udo replied as he nodded. "You would have to stick to designated construction zones, since there are some restricted zones of space, but other than that you are free to build a station in Imperial space if you need to," the Abwehran explained. "I also hope we can continue," he began before his charming statement was interrupted.

"That's great," Cundry replied before holding up another folder. "But to aid you in the Cruiser design and any future projects, the Abwehran Armed Forces is assigning an Engineer to be your Liaison," the Nightwalker explained as she glanced up at a slightly pouting Surfacer male and smirked.

"I don't know why they picked this guy though. Probably don't want to send any Commissioned Officers on a Liaison mission," the Analyst muttered as she handed Aerin a folder named Lehrer, Wolfgang. "Apparently, he was injured at the Skirmish of Khorovaroloran, but he should be healed up by now. They'll probably ship him to you once your company gives the 'okay'."

"We would be most honored to have a Liason. Anything we can do to make our designs reflect the nations they are for is a plus. If this Wolfgang can help us to that end, we would be more than glad." Aerin said, looking over Wolfgang's dossier before giving it to Ray, who got up and opened the door, handing the file to an aide.

"If that is all, then we can wrap this up and get to actually filling these orders. I am sure Wolfgang will be approved soon, probably before you arrive at your destination." From seemingly nowhere, Aerin produced a rather thick sheaf of paper in a tan folder, and handed it across the table. "This is all of the details on your order and the contract between our company and your nation, as drawn up by our legal people. it shouldn't be anything surprising, there's no fine print and we can go over any details if you need."

"Thank you very much," Udo replied with a smile as he took the folder and handed off to Cundry. "I believe we've satisfied all of our objectives for this meeting," he explained as the Analyst began packing her things. "And hopefully we've started a lasting relationship between the Empire and Origin," the very tall man stated before holding out his hand once again for a hand shake.

"We'll probably stay around for a couple more days to make sure everything is finalized and then we will leave for Abwehr. It has been the utmost pleasure doing business with you."
