Negotiation For The Planet

As soon as we got on board the Avaron II I was called to the bridge for debriefing. I went with Arron and Vreck went to Jern's room to patch him up. At the bridge we were told that we did a good job fixing the fuel ship and that it would have been bad if it had exploded. After the captan left, I glanced at the scanners and saw a fancy explorer ship. I said, “Is that ours?” Turns out it's the Expert Chiss Consortium (ECC); they had planted a beacon, so they could claim rights to our land!!

We were called to the Erimian Colony Council meeting where they were going to talk to the ECC and judge Jaleel. We had to escort Jaleel to the meeting and protect him. When we got there we immediately started and talked for about an hour. In that hour the ECC said that they wanted mineral rights, two seats on the Council, veto power, land and first shot at all the ruins on the planet!

Suddenly, a dart hit Jaleel! Good thing it didn't hit me! Arron was on the ground in seconds giving an antidote. I feel more secure now that I know of Arron's medical abilities. With Jaleel knocked out, the Council called an hour break. I talked to Djinn Monka and we figured out what we thought we should do; we could lose some mineral rights but not all of it, veto power was out of the question, ruins needed to stay on the planet preferably, we could let them on Council if we got Ojib on it too.

I talked to Director Cortco and he wouldn't agree to lose mineral rights at ALL but he agreed with everything else. So when it came time to negotiate, we got all that we wanted and every one was happy. Well, except Director Corto - he didn't like giving up any mineral rights.

We found really amazing land; I'm going to be richer then ever before!
