Yokahari, Sainam March, 3rd, 312 RE "Is it true then ?'' Takashi asked his Internal Affairs Secretary. "Yes sir, from the information gathered by our operatives that have infiltrated the city; we can confirm that the city has plans for a space elevator." the Secretary handed Takashi some folders "The operatives were able to the blueprints for the elevator, and some other interesting information." "Information like ?" asked Takashi as he looked through the folder. "Well sir, it seems that while they have the expertise needed to build the elevator; they lack a few things such as the funds to finance such an operation, and a launch station for construction in orbit." Takashi mulled over the information he was just given, the Federal Republic certainly had the funds to finance such a project, they lacked the space program needed for orbital part of construction. He thought it over for a few more moments, before a small smile crept on his. He looked at the Internal Affairs Secretary. ''You may leave." The Internal Affairs Secretary nodded his head, before getting up and leaving the room. "Well then, this is an opportunity."

((OOC: Fastfoward! \o/ )) Porté Spacia, Southern Cartic March 15, 312 The Lucavan colony was an old place. It's much easier to claim that it has stood since time immemorial, than attempt to peg the city a date. The current city was located a little southeast than the original, with towering residential towers for the city's nearly eight million inhabitants making up the core. The edge of the city spared out towards the Cartic plains and jungles, become singular homes, likely belonging to the better-off and the political elite. The end of the city was an abrupt cut-off, however. The Cartic was still uncivilized, after all, and necessitated separation from the city. It wasn't too heavy of a border--mainly a simple electrical fence half a kilometer from the city, constantly under surveillance from snipers and armed guards. "Better safe than sorry," an Ancient saying went. The ruins of the old city were only partially encompassed by the fence, which cut through the core of Old Puerta Spacia. The fence had been extended four decades earlier, to protect the coastal regions of the city... where a small peninsula jutted out of the concrete ruins. It had long been claimed by nature, dirt and vegetation crawling it's way to the edge of the Island--where the Old Lucavan Space Elevator had been constructed. And if one looked deep enough, they'd be liable to find even more ruined settlements nearby--most long forgotten, or otherwise buried beneath the scape. Neither the Lucavans or the Sainamese came for that, however. The Sainamese aircraft landed in the Porté Spacia Airport--not too large, not too small; just enough to handle the influx of tourists that commonly visited the city in the winter months. Porté Spacia took security very seriously, it seemed, as there were amble black-clad soldiers, each carrying United Noberia arms, sprinkled around the airport. A certain core met the Sainamese, before air-lifting the foreign delegation towards the city-core. The Porté Spacia had a love of heights, it seemed. Their capital building was a sprawling tower, which almost dominated the city skyline. The Sainamese landed on it's ceiling, before being ushered out and guided a few floors down. Premier Francis Baudin knew well why the Sainamese were here. That his state was interested in a space elevator was practically an open-secret, and pieces of the plans did leak out every so often, to show the extent of the city's dedication. He'd been staring at the mountains in the distant, visible through his twenty-floor office window, when the door slid open, and the Sainamese personnel wound it's way in. It was a large room, spare in it's decoration. The view was it's main attraction, after all. The Premier's desk stood against it, a few feet behind the hub of sofas gathered around a coffee table. As Sainamese descended the steps, Francis left his desk, meeting them halfway. "Welcome, Mr. Shimura," Francis began, taking the Sainamese's hand, "I hope you'd an easy trip. Please, join me." The man pointed to the sofas, where an aid was busy serving tea. Francis himself took a seat, reaching for his tea cup as he looked at the foreigners in his office. "Tell me, friend... what brings you to my city?" |

Hayate shook the hand of the Premier, before he followed him to the sofa where they both took a seat, " The trip was short but pleasant, the trip by helicopter gave me a wonderful view of your city, and I must say what a beautiful city it is Premeir Francis." he took the cup of tea, and took a sip. "Well," Hayate began "it is no secret that your state has grand dreams, Premier Francis. The Federal Republic understands your dream, and this why I'm here today." he took another sip of tea "I am here to allow that dream to come true, and create beneficial relations between our two states." he spoke once more.

"I'm glad you enjoyed the city," Francis returned. "It's very ancient, I'm sure you're aware. It's stood, in some form or another, for over two-thousand years, after all. "Regardless, tell me, Mr. Shimura, what does your country have to offer us?" |

"Well Premier Francis, I beleive that Sainam can offer you many things." he replied "One such thing is funds, as one the largest economies in Oracia; Sainam has access to large amount of funds that could potentially used for projects, and major programs that your government believes beneficial to your state." he looked out the window, staring at the mountains in the distance before turning back. "We can also bring allies Mr.Francis," he began again "I beleive you have heard of the DU, correct ? You could gain many allies from this organization if this if our present meeting goes well." |

"I see," Francis sighed. He reached for his tea, taking a moment to drink and organize his thoughts. "You must be aware that the construct would cost dozens of billions, Mr. Shimura. Your nation alone could not realistically fund it alone, you are a democracy after all. I assume, then, that you shall be inviting your allies in? Perhaps some large corporations that want to dig their fingers into this construct? "Tell me, where would this funding originate from? While we might share this achievement with your people and it's allies, it's best to recall that it would still be Porté Spacian. We've the plans, the location--even the expertise." |

Hayate took another sip of tea "We aware of the costs, if we had decided to fund this thing project entirely by ourselves; the Sainamese populace would be outrage at the cost, and would have probably demanded that the funds be cancelled; or my party wouldn't be in power for much longer." he chuckled slightly "So yes, we will be inviting some of our allies in, we have sent out invitations to two of our closest allies and, we expect a response from their leaders in the coming in the coming days." he took another sip of tea "As for a corporate presence, we expect it to be minimal at best; with most of the funds coming from the participating governments.'' |

"I see," Francis mumbled. "That is acceptable, then. What terms are you searching for? I presume that Sainam and it's allies will deploy troops to protect this city and the investment? How many troops are we looking at here?" | |

Hayate smiled internally, he was glad that Francis was so receptive to the proposal so far, the elevator would be a great asset to his nations; with Sainam lacking a space program, it would provide an alternative access point to space, and also help Sainam keep up with the Lanlanian Commonwealth who already boasted their own fully operational space program. It would also be of great use to the smaller DU nations who could not afford to fund and operate a space program for themselves. "That is good to hear," Hayate began " as for any potential terms, I can assure that for this; the Federal Republic and it's allies would be willing to pay you say 20% ?" he stared intently at the Premier as he made that one offer. "As for security, I can say there will be a good measure of it. A project such as this would be a perfect target for unsavories to attempt and destroy, we take this project very seriously, and I assure the city of Porte Spacia will be protected to the full extent." he took a drink from his tea, emptying the cup before placing back down. "Estimates for such a project would place the number of troops at 3000, but that would just be for the city itself. I understand that the area around the city and beyond are still wild. Would you require any assistance in taming it ?" |

"I assume it shall be your troops that will... pacify the surroundings territories?" Francis question, pouting slightly. "I don't believe we can object too strongly, if you decide to conduct this activity.... "Regardless, I'm afraid three-thousand foreign troops is unacceptable. We can accept a minor Sainamese naval force patrolling the waters beyond ours, acting as support for our own handful of destroyers. We can also accept a few dozen Sainamese and DU troopers in the sector around the elevator, but I'm afraid that allowing an over-sized force into the city will cause discord within Porté Spacia. No, I believe that a couple hundred troops, at most, to secure the elevator would be enough. Perhaps a ship or three, to ensure no unsavories, as you say, can damage the construct." |

Hayate nodded "Yes it would mostly be Sainamese troops conducting this activity, the operation would mostly mostly consist of the relocation of the local tribes to areas farther away the city, and most likely to another parts of the Cartic peninsula. Would you like to assist us in this operation ?" Hayate asked at the end. "As for security, Sainamese ships have already been patrolling the waters for some time now," Hayate leaned back into the sofa "as this area is prone to pirates "it was seen as a necessity for patrols to occur. So I see no issue concerning naval assistance. As for ground troops, you must understand Premier Francis, certain states would stop at nothing to see this project crash and burn, it imperative that the construct be secured, perhaps we could have a compromise on troop numbers." "Say an deployment of 1000 man strong DU contingent ?" |

"No," Francis replied, massaging his temples. "You must understand, Mr. Shimura, my people would abhor a foreign military presence in our city, be they of a single nation or not. I believe that a couple hundred would be enough to protect the immediate area from... surprises. Should a concentrated enemy force move on the city, I don't for a moment doubt your military would notice it and move to intercept and allocate forces to turn back the assault. Let's also keep in mind that our city has it's own defenders, defenders who would willingly die in the line of fire to protect their home. "And after you handle the indigenous problem outside our walls, I reckon you'll build an air base in the region. Porté Spacia would be secure, then. We can spare a few forces for that relocation effort, potentially a couple thousand troopers." |
