Cambrielle is the capital of Ralltiir. The city includes the famed Cambrielle Exploration Auditorium, and is home to Cambrielle SolidState Corporation and the popular Dusky Sky Café.

Tartarus stood on the roof of an apartment complex, the wind causing his cloak to whip about as the glow of one of Ralltiir's many moons reflected off the metal plates of his armour. He rested his left hand on the top of the hilt of Shalamayne, the bastard sword that had been made for him by his half-brother Zion, a man whom he had not seen in some years now. Not a day went by when he didn't feel guilty about what had happened between them, and what had led to the disagreement between them. Frost could sense her masters feelings, causing her to growl as she dipped her head and nudged Tartarus, before he turned to the side and placed his right hand on her forehead.
Althought Frost was merely a twisted Arkanian Dragon, he was still appreciative of her company, even if she had no choice in the matter, at least she would never leave him. Tartarus then moved around her head and climbed up into the saddle that was at the base of her neck, just forward of her front legs, before Frost took a couple steps closer to the edge of the building's roof. It was a beautiful night, but daybreak would be upon them soon, and with it, a new challenger who thought he would be able to defeat Valefor in a Shetani Match, despite the fact Valefor had never lost a single game to date. Tartarus gave Frost a pat on the side of her neck, before she leapt off the side of the roof and spread her wings as they glided over the roof tops, towards the edge of the city.
It was there, that the SoroSuub Liberator Carrier-Cruiser, known as Valefor's Palace, was landed at the edge of the city on the planet's surface. Frost dropped down and glided into the left hangar bay, before flapping her wings to slow herself down and finally coming to a stop as she touched down in the hangar bay. Tartarus hopped down out of the saddle, before Frost made herself comfortable in the large container that served as her cage during travel between planets. He then made his way across the hangar, passing by a couple more cages similar to Frost's, one which held Rias' red dragon, known as Life-Binder, and another cage which helped the sleeping black dragon known as Infinite-One, his half-brother's former mount. For the most part, they kept Infinite-One in a deep sleep, but Valfor would wake him every now and again to go flying with Tartarus and Frost, so that the dragon didn't waste away.
Tartarus continued on his way out of the hangar and through the ship to the mess hall, where he found Chronos already seated at a table, enjoying his pre-dawn breakfast. He walked over and took a seat opposite the Bishop, before removing his helmet and placing it on the table next to himself, before Chronos looked up from his meal as a serving droid brought over a plate of bacon, eggs, and toast. Tartarus then removed his gloves and started into his food, making sure not to eat it too fast since Chronos had some work out for the pair of them to do before the sun rose
Rough night?
When isn't it... I really don't know how the other's do it... hell Asia always seems to be able to adapt with the click of a finger...
Yeah, I guess that's why her dragon is named Dreamer... Rias didn't even get to her bed at all last night.
You'd think the three of us would be more used to this than Asia, Ruau, and Loki...
The benefit's of youth my friend... Although I am sure Asia and Loki are tiring each other out. As for Ruau, didn't he used to work in a spaceport or something? You could probably set off a grenade and he'd sleep through it...
Yes, it was over on Tatooine, he was working between the Mos Eisley Spaceport and the Podracing circuits. Ah well, some people are just lucky...
Yeah, you could say that... Reckon Rias will be joining us this morning?
The better question, is will you boys be joining me?
Rias almost seemed to appear out of nowhere as she walked over from the Mess Hall entrance towards the table Chronos and Tartarus were both seated at, before stopping at the head of the table and leaning forward slightly. Although she'd spent nearly half the night at several different nightclubs, before coming back and doing a short workout session, it was impossible to tell that she'd yet to get any sleep. Tartarus and Chronos each gave a nod of greeting to her, quite impressed at how she soldiered on and still looked as beautiful as she did without fail
Won't be long...
Just finishing this...

Rias smiled and shook her head at Tartarus and Chronos as they finished up their breakfast, before Tartarus grabbed his helmet as the two men followed Rias from the mess hall and through the ship. The gym was a large room that was filled with all the latest workout and exercise equipment to ensure that all of Valefor's Shetani pieces could stay in shape and train as often as possible. The trio made their way into the change rooms where they all removed their armour, before Rias donned a sports bra and shorts whilst Chronos and Tartarus each donned a pair of shorts. When they were changed, Chronos took charge and lead Rias and Tartarus through a new workout he had found on the holonet the other day, which was designed as an all around workout regime to improve a number of areas of fitness.
It was a good couple hours before they were finished, at which point they all took showers, since Aster would be arriving soon to lay down his challenge to Valefor. Tartarus finished his shower first and donned his armour again, before heading out of the gym and making his way to the Hangar bay, since he would be acting as Aster's welcoming party. After a brief check in with the droids, He made his way into the hangar and waited close to the landing area that Aster's transport would be guided to upon its arrival. Elsewhere in the ship, Loki and Asia made their way from the room they had shared the night before, heading towards the mess hall, via the Hangar Bay, since they were well aware that Aster would be arriving sometime soon.
The pair were walking through a door into the Hangar Bay as the silver shuttle bearing a phoenix symbol flew into the Hangar Bay and landed not far from where Tartarus was waiting. Loki had to admit the Knight of Death looked quite menacing, clad in his armour, with his cloak covering his great sword, and his platinum white hair that trailed out from under the back of his helmet. It wasn't long before Aster and his Shetani Pieces exited their shuttle, presenting a very stark contrast of beautiful women and carefree attitudes, to Tartarus' brooding appearance that almost made Loki lose his appetite. Loki and Asia walked across the hangar and stopped a couple feet away as Aster and his Pieces assembled in front of Tartarus, Aster already looking somewhat displeased by Tartarus' presenceWhat name does such a ghastly servant such as yourself have, whom thinks himself good enough to block my way?Loki almost felt like physically facepalming as Aster seemed to fail to recognize just exactly who Tartarus was, something he thought was quite impossble, considering the man's reputation as the Knight of Death. He looked to Asia, who just shrugged and shook her head, not quite sure what game Aster was playing at either, since either the man thought himself too good to respect one of the greatest Shetani Pieces ever, or he was too dumb to recognize who stood before him. Loki took a quick couple steps forward, since he had a feeling this situation could quickly devolve if Tartarus took too much offence from Aster's wordsSorry to interrupt, the name's Loki, one of Valefor's Pawns. So you're Lord Aster Phoenix eh? I don't mean to sound impertinent, but this wouldn't happen to be your first Shetani Challenge, would it?A Pawn eh? you sure look and act like one, that's for sure... And so what if it is?It would explain a lot... No offence, but have you never heard of the infamous Knight of Death?What? the old wives tales of a Shetani Piece that ruthlessly cut's down any opposing piece ruthlessly, and takes the opposing King's head as a trophy?Well I can't say I've ever seen the skulls to prove it, but the rest of it aint no tale. Don't you recognize the man's armour? the skulls on the shoulder plates, the crown helmet? You aren't that new to this are you?This man before me is the famed Knight of Death? He doesn't seem so fearsome to me... More like an old man trying to hold onto the days of his prime... Karla and Sirus would make short work of him without breaking a sweat, just as I intend to make short work of Lord Valefor and show the old man his time on the throne is up... The Shetani Matches have no need up such relics anymore, frankly it's embaressing that I have to show the old man the door...Tartarus' eyes suddenly glowed an icy blue, as Aster went a little too far for his liking with his insults, something Loki noticed and quickly moved back, well aware of what was about to happen. It was like watching a lightening strike as Tartarus drew his sword and in one swift continuous motion, stepped forward with his right foot and swung the blade towards the side of Aster's neck. However, the blade never found it's intended target, as Tartarus felt Rias' hand rest on his left forearm, causing him to stop the blade mere inches away from Aster's neck. She then leaned in close, to whisper her next couple words into his ear so that only he would hear themRemember your promise...Tartarus kept his gaze locked on Aster for a moment, remembering full well the promise he had made to Rias, as well as the oath he had sworn as a Knight in Valefor's Shetani Pieces. His eyes lost their glow as he swung the blade up and held the flat of it so that Aster and his Shetani Pieces could see it's design, before he sheathed the blade. Rias gave Tartarus a small smile and nodded, before letting go of his arm, letting him step back a little and resume his former stance, whilst she turned towards Aster and his Shetani Pieces, of all of which looked ready to start a fight to defend Aster. She walked over to Aster, quite disappointed with how the man had acted, not that it was really her place to say as such to the man, but it wasn't like she couldn't give the man adviceLord Valefor wishes to extend his welcome to you and your Shetani Pieces aboard his Palace. He looks forward to your challenge, to which he awaits your presence in his Meeting Hall. But first, a word of advice, these games can be quite dangerous under normal circumstances, but to have unwisely made an enemy of Tartarus, well let's just say his not the forgiving type... Come, I'll tail along to make sure he doesn't try kill you before you meet Lord Valefor...Rias gave a short nod before motioning for Aster and his Pieces to follow as she walked over to Tartarus' side, whom turned around and lead the way towards the exit of the Hangar Bay. Loki and Asia fell in behind Tartarus and Rias, before Aster and his Pieces followed them, as they made their way through the Carrier-Cruiser to a large room. Chronos and Ruaumoko had already made their way to the Meeting Hall and were standing on either side of the giant stone throne, where Valefor was seated with his wings folded behind his back. Rias walked up and stood to Valefor's right, whilst Tartarus moved to Valefor's left, whilst Loki and Asia stood next to Ruaumoko and Chronos respectively.
Tartarus watched Aster, as the man finally beheld Lord Valefor for the first time, perhaps with a hint of regret for having spoken out of turn about him earlier. Whilst there was some regret present in Aster, there was however a small hint of confidence, since the man was no doubt counting how many Shetani Pieces were currently present in the Hall. Aster had all 14 of his pieces, besides himself, present, whilst Valefor only had 6 pieces present, besides himself, but Tartarus knew that was purely because the Dragons were too large. Valefor gave a nod after a couple minutes of silence, at which point he rise from his Throne and stretched his wings out to their full span, before returning them to a state of restWelcome to my Palace, Lord Aster. So, I am told you have come here today to formally challenge me to a Shetani Match, in what will be your first game right?You do speak the truth... However it seems I have you at a disadvantage...Do not let appearances decieve you boy. I have six other pieces, however they are confined to a hangar bay, dragon's cannot soo easily move through the hallways. Although it is not my position to counsel my opponents on their choices, I must ask if you are sure you have thought this out? Do you not think you should work your way up to me?Are you just so unsure of victory that you seek to scare me? Trust me, your tricks wont work on me old man, I plan to start my career by knocking you from your throne. You know, when I do win, I plan to take your queen as my final bishop, so she could see what a real Lord is like, even if she is a half-breed scum...hehehe, you still have much to learn about minding your tongue... I do fear for your safety my friend, my Knight of Death does not take kindly to those who insult his Queen, especially since he has already laid claim to her... I fear your career shall be short lived Lord Aster, but I cannot dissuade you, nor can I refuse your challenge now that you have levied more than one insult infront of Tartarus. As such I accept your challenge to a Shetani Match, we shall meet at noon, near High Ontis. Make sure you have your affairs in order... Chronos, Tartarus, please show our guest back to his ship.Valefor sat back upon his throne as Chronos and Tartarus gave a nod and made their way past Aster and his Pieces, whom all soon followed behind the Knight and Bishop, as they lead the way out of the Hall and towards the Hangar Bay. Rias let out a sigh once the doors closed after Aster had left the room, quite over the man's convoluted arrogance about just how good he thought he was, no doubt a side effect of the man's lack of experience in Shetani Matches. Perhaps his wealth contributed to his somewhat entitled attitude, especially since it was quite apparent he was with the group known as the Cinn Ion, a group of jumped up purists that viewed people like herself as half-breeds because of their mixed heritage. She then turned her attention towards Valefor, as she felt the Sith's gaze upon her, as he sat there with one arm propped against one of the arm rests as his face leaned slightly into his handIs there something wrong Rias?Aside from Lord Aster's arrogant attitude? Well there is one thing...And what exactly is that? Speak your mind Rias.Do you still intend to keep your word? You do still remember it right?I remember every deal I make, no matter how long ago I made it. To answer your question though, I do intend to keep my word, just the same as I did with Loki when he wanted to be with Asia. I may be a Sith Lord, but that does not mean I am underhanded, especially considering I am one of the Shetani Nobility. Tartarus has upheld his end of the agreement thus far, just two more wins and I shall attain the rank of High-Lord, then I shall give my blessing, just as I promised. Besides, he needs you... You can calm him and keep him focused, and you have never left him, no matter what has happened. To deny him of you, would be sentencing this team to destruction. Did you perhaps think I go back on my word and follow in the foot steps of other Lords and Ladies and take their Queen for their own?The concern had crossed my mind...ha, do not worry, I do not see you that way Rias. If I did, I would have taken you for my bride long ago. You are like a daughter to me, and Tartarus is proving he is worthy of my daughter's hand.Rias wasn't sure how much she honestly believed that, but considering he had made no moves in the past to show otherwise, she would just have to trust what he said, as she moved away from the throne and made her way to the end of the hall. Meanwhile, Tartarus and Chronos lead Aster and his Shetani pieces back into the Hangar Bay where Frost, Life-Binder, Timeless-One, Dreamer, Earth-Warder, and Spell-Weaver had formed a honour guard of sorts leading to the shuttle that Aster had arrived in. The dragons sniffed the air as the group passed by, getting a good smell of what the enemy's scent was like for later on when they would have to fight them in the Shetani Match.
Tartarus and Chronos stepped to either side and watched as Aster and his Pieces made their way back into the shuttle, which took off and made a hasty exit from the Hangar Bay. Tartarus smiled to himself, quite certain that if he hadn't been intimidated before, then he most certainly would be now, and might reconsider whether he should have laid the challenge down that he did. Not that it mattered, since Aster was now bound by the rules of the Shetani Matches, and Tartarus would kill the man for his insolent attitude

*It'd been some time since our four "heroes" had made it to the city of Cambrielle after being mysteriously stranded in Ralltiir's wilderness. They'd managed to secure temporary lodging, mostly thanks to Greed's cunning, though Envy seemed a bit displeased it wasn't one of the fancier apartments in the district. Nor that he had to share a room with Wrath, so he certainly envied Greed's solo room.
Sloth meanwhile slept on the couch like a lazy bastard.
But one day, as they sat around the table enjoying some lunch, Greed tapped his fingers together nervously, not touching his food. Finally, after a few moments, the de facto leader of the small group lowered his hands and sighed, staring at his lap for a moment, then looking up to his comrades.*
Boys, I gotta break it to ya...
I'm envious of your possession of news to break to us.
... right... Listen... er... I know we been having our fun now that we're outta the wild, but er... we sorta need ta be doublin' our efforts in gettin' back together with the rest of our crew.
*At the suggestion, Wrath, who had been taking a sip of orange juice, suddenly spewed it all over Greed, then pounded his fists on the table.*
WHAT?! WHY DO WE WANT TO MEET UP TOGETHER WITH THOSE ASSHOLES?!
*Envy muttered under his breath.*
I'm envious of their distance from us...
*Greed simply stared blankly for a moment after being coated with orange juice, then took a napkin and wiped his face, otherwise unmoved by Wrath's outburst. He did pause and raise an eyebrow at Envy's statement, then shook his head.*
How can ya be envious of something ye already have, ya knucklehead...
Dudes, maybe we should just like, let them come to us, bro.
*He lit up a doobie, but was promptly sucker-punched by Wrath onto the floor.*
GODS DAMMIT SLOTH, NOT IN THE HOUSE.
*But Sloth was curled up in the fetal position; whether he was knocked unconscious or just napping, no one could tell. Greed put out the joint by stomping on it, then looked around at the two awake companions again.*
I know it ain't easy to stomach the idear o' bein' around the rest of our... comrades... Trust me, I know... But we're meant to be a team. We gotta stick together. We're all we have left!
*Wrath slammed his palms on the table this time.*
NOTHING'S BETTER THAN SHIT!
*Envy looked like he was about to make another one of his obvious statements, then he raised a finger.*
I disagree, a lot of things are better than shit.
*His response came in the form of a fist, slamming him in the back of the head, pounding his face down into his sandwich.*
NOT WHAT I MEANT, JACKASS.
*Greed rubbed his vitamin C enriched temple in impatience, then sighed as he stood up.*
Be that way then. I need a shower.
*Envy's face rose, stained in mustard.*
I want a shower!
*This time it was Greed who pounded him with his fist.*
FER THE LAST DAMNED TIME, SHOWER ON YER OWN!
*Greed then slipped off, leaving Envy to mumble and whimper, Wrath to stew, and Sloth to... sleep. While dreaming about weed, most likely. Would the team ever reunite with the rest of their "family"? Perhaps they would soon see...*

Lord Valefor was the first to arrive back to the Palace's main hangar, quickly guiding his Twin-228 Airspeeder to the back of the hangar and parking it in its allotted space as Frost, Life-Binder, Timeless-One, Dreamer, Earth-Warder, and Spell-Weaver landed in the hangar, bearing their masters, whom dismounted, before the dragons made their way to their cages in the secondary hangar. Valefor had gotten to the exit of the hangar, when he pulled out his datapad, to find a message from High-Lord Vellaan requesting a meeting in an hour, causing him to smile as Tartarus, Rias, Chronos, Asia, Ruaumoko, and Loki stopped nearby, none of them quite sure what had just made their Master so happy
Lord Valefor, mind if I ask what message you just received?
It appears we shall have a guest very soon, the High-Lord Vellaan to be exact. This should be interesting...
I assume you were counting on this, no?
Very perceptive. It was inevitable he would request a meeting, after all, this is the High-Lord's chosen home world... Excellent work today, I'm proud of you all. Make sure you are all ready for when our guest arrives...
Valefor then took his leave of the group, heading through the ship to his private quarters located behind his throne room, whilst Rias just shook her head for a moment. It was clear to her now that he had planned this, but the fact he hadn't told any of them about this was what annoyed her the most, since they had all agreed to fight for Valefor for a reason. They all knew the end game and how things were going to proceed, through it was quickly becoming aparent there were certain details that he had kept from them
That fool... What is so important he couldn't tell us about it...
He's not one to keep secrets from us...
Maybe this is his plan for becoming a High-Lord...
By challenging High-Lord Vellaan? That doesn't sound like something he'd not tell us...
What ever the reason was, there is no point fretting over it now. I'm sure it'll become very clear soon enough. And, if his plan is to challenge High-Lord Vellaan, then all the better, what more fitting way to prove our worth than to defeat a High-Lord on his own home ground...
Well, you've got a point, we will find out soon enough. At any rate, it's time to hit the showers, we should all look somewhat presentable for our guest...
Loki and Asia quickly snuck away together, whilst Chronos and Ruaumoko headed for their own individual rooms, leaving Rias and Tartarus alone as she lead the way to her own personal quarters. Tartarus removed his helmet and sword first, placing them on a table, whilst Rias headed into the refresher to get the shower started, before returning moments later, allowing the pair to share a passionate embrace. It wasn't long before they were helping one another undress, barely leaving one another's hold for long, as they slowly made their way to the shower, where, after what seemed like ages, they found themselves entwined together beneath the running water, no longer able to restrain themselves as they gave into their desires.
Half an hour had passed, before they found themselves laying in bed, Tartarus half seated against the bed head, whilst Rias cuddled against his side, her head resting against his chest as her hand traced several of his scars. They had both needed the release, especially after everything that had happened, from the move to Ralltiir, to the fight with Aster, and now the impending arrival of High-Lord Vellaan. At any rate, it also helped serve as a celebrations of sorts, since Aster's defeat meant Tartarus was now one victory closer to claiming Rias for his own properly
It wont be long now... Just one more victory...
Do not be too rash, it will do neither of us any good if you were to die...
heh, I am the Knight of Death, it is not my life that shall be cut short. It is my love for you that keeps me going and shall drive me on, no matter the odds...
You have a strange way of making a girl feel special... At any rate, we had best get dressed, Vellaan will be here soon...
As my queen commands...
Rias smirked before getting out of the bed, quickly giving a slow twirl for Tartarus' enjoyment, before pulling him out of the bed as well, with Rias easily managing to get her gear back on before assisting Tartarus with his armour. The pair then made their way back to the main hangar, where the others had already arrived back to and were gathered, with Rias and Tartarus quickly joining them as they awaited the arrival of Vellaan

Vellaan sat at the controls of a luxury air speeder, with Elune in the passenger seat, as he drove around the outskirts of Cambrielle to where the Liberator Carrier-Cruiser known as Valefor's Palace was located. He deftly guided the air speeder into the main hangar and set the craft down in front of the awaiting Shetani Pieces that had assembled as a welcoming party for his visit. Vellaan then exited the vehicle first, before making his way around to the passenger side to help Elune exit the craft, at which point they linked arms and approached Rias, since she was the highest ranking piece present, with Elune giving a bow of her head to her fellow Queen, whilst Vellaan studied each and every one of Valefor's pieces
It is a pleasure to meet you all. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Elune Moonblade, and this is my King, High-Lord Vellaan.

Tartarus, Chronos, Asia, Ruaumoko, and Loki all gave a bow to the High-Lord and his Queen out of respect, whilst Rias merely nodded her head in return to the Lady Moonblade's greeting. Even with a High-Lord and Queen standing before her, and possibly one of the most skilled Shetani Lord's out there, Rias was not intimidated and remained resolute as she studied the couple
It is an honour to make your acquaintance Lady Moonblade and High-Lord Vellaan. I am Rias, and this is Lord Valefor's chosen knight, Tartarus Morviael. Please allow us to show you to our Lord, who eagerly awaits your arrival...
Rias and Tartarus then turned about and lead the way through the ship to the meeting chamber of Lord Valefor, with the pair taking their positions on either side of their Kings throne, as he sat watching his blood brother enter. It had been quite some time since the brothers last saw each other, and although they had passed one another at events, this was the first time in a very long time, that they would be spending any significant amount of time so close together. Valefor then rose from his throne and stood before Vellaan, meeting him as an equal, as opposed to bowing as the protocol between the Shetani Lords dictated, something he intended to change about what the corrupt establishment had become
How nice of you to join us High-Lord Vellaan. It has been far too long my brother...

Vellaan was quite impressed by the people that his brother had chosen as his Pieces. Watching them in combat was one thing, but to see them up close was something else. He gave a nod in response to Rias' request for them to follow her and Tartarus. As they made their way through the ship, he could feel his brother's presence getting closer and closer. As the doors opened onto the throne room, he turned his gaze to the towering red figure that sat upon the throne.
Looking at the pair, you would never believe they were related except by their height. Otherwise, the two looked like opposites. Where Valefor was red skinned and had wings, looking quite demonic, Vellaan was blue skinned and lacked wings, or any such demonic features. But they were related nevertheless. They were created from the same sample of DNA, but exposed to different stimuli to create their separate appearances. Though, back then, Valefor had looked a lot more like just a red skinned version of Vellaan.
They had each followed different paths since then, and their appearances reflected those paths. But for it all, he knew Valefor was still inherently good in the goal that he chose to pursue. That much, he was certain of. As the two brothers stood before one another, Vellaan waved a hand at Elune to calm her, as his Queen appeared on edge about Valefor's actions
It has indeed been a while Lord Valefor. The last time I saw you... was long before we joined the Shetani Lords. So... what brings you to my home? Why do you risk us being so close together? Have you come to challenge me?

Negotiations with the planetary government and the Imperial Delegation was a short affair, thankfully. Longstanding and well coordinated communications between the Empire's throne and the local leaders had been fruitful and well received. Imperial Ambassador Harkon, a member of the Imperial Civil Services, spoke, at length, with the Governor of Ralltiir. In the end, a suitable compromise was made and a treaty of annexation was signed. The former leader of Ralltiir, Governor Gato, an Ithorian native of Ralltiir, was permitted to remain Governor of Ralltiir, for the Empire, for the duration of his remaining term. After which, Gato may remain in the political life or retire to Ralltiir or any Imperial world of his choosing with a handsome stipend. His successor would likely remain a Ralltiir native or be an appointed Moff of the Empire.
Once the news reached the public, the Resurgent Battlecruisers in orbit began unloading the two Stormtrooper Legions at its disposal to install a proper garrison. Imperial Civil Service officials came too to help indoctrinate the population and ensure government policy was adjusted to Imperial standards.

Commander Cazar of the Humanitarian fleet was on planet. He wasn't a combat leader, he had been a quartermaster his entire career. He had different perspectives from his fellow officers. Here, he was uniquely qualified. The Humanitarian fleet needed grants for more more research. It was hard to convince people to lend money, it was harder still to convince banks to give it away for hope. But that was his job now, and he was good at it. He had been meeting with donors, and was now recharging at the Café.

The Café was what he expected for a place with its reputation. The pastries were fantastic, they reminded him of the ones he had as a boy when everything tasted amazing and new. The Caf was prepared perfectly, the roast was rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the cream on top was expertly frothed. He had received a couple of grants, not the bigger ones he was hoping, but the day was not yet over.

The representative from a business conglomerate arrived at his table. The older quartermaster stood up and shook hands. This was the whale Cazar had been waiting for. This one donner could fund much of the fleet operation side of things for the next few years. He sat down and kept things casual.

The negotiation was pleasant, it is always tough to get someone to give away lots of credits. This case was not so different. The donner loved what he heard, but was still reluctant to give away vast amounts of credits. Slowly, Cazar was wearing him down.

Negotiations had reached a standstill. Cazar needed to come at things from a different direction. He invited the director to a Hospital that the Aid fleet had helped build. First Order Aid logo stood out on top of the building. He used this time to show the advances.

The advances in medical care caught the attention of the investors. Cazar was very pleased, his plan seemed to have succeeded. The investors needed to see that there would be a return on investment. Medical advances could have a great return, and they were able see those possibilities now.

He met some unexpected pushback from some that were concerned that aid was becoming too much like a business. Cazar was not expecting this from this group of people. They were very wealthy, and the states told him that they should think one way, but these anomalies stood in contrast. He had failed to account for them, all of his prep was showing how profitable the program could be, he wasn't ready to show the charity. There was a lot of it of course, but he was so unprepared that he couldn't remember anything. He was very angry at his failure and was not looking forward to his transmission to the Grand Moff later.
