(quick)<br/><br/>The Kassa rep watched Darion inspect the armor, and nodded.<span style="color: darkorange">You got it. Come on, let's get you set up.</span><br/><br/>The rep closed the container and led Darion out of the vault, walking him to an unoccupied office. It, like the others was designed with its walls like a hexagon, three walls of which were glass that read Kassa Fabrications in acid etching. The rep sat Darion down on the others side of his desk and started hitting keys on his console, the holographic screen set into the wall so that Darion could observe it as well.<br/><br/><span style="color: darkorange">Alright... Darion, could I get your last name as well?</span>He input Darion's information into a new order. Interestingly, when he started putting the information in, the system automatically filled out Darion's measurements. The Rep smirked.<span style="color: darkorange">Pretty cool, huh? our security cameras run 3d imagery. As soon as someone walks in that door the system mocks up the projected body type. No more awkward unitards and standing in a T-Pose for scans.</span><br/><br/>The rep entered the order information, the Aegis class armor, and so on. As he did, a list of additions appeared. All of them were technical names without description, titanium-carbon mesh, layered asymmetric defense, and numerous others.<span style="color: darkorange">Alright, so, at 250k we've got some room for maneuvering. Don't worry I don't want you spending everything here. There's much better ways to burn a few grand on Illium.</span>He laughed a little.<span style="color: darkorange">Alright, but what I do want to show you is this -</span>He pulled up one of the options. A vid began playing. It showed a man in a firing range, what looked like a test facility. He lifted a pistol towards a dummy down range that had a bunch of shield emitters attached to it, wires running all over. The man opened fire, keeping his shots evenly timed. He fired several and the shields flared, dropped, and then there was a second flash and they were back up instantly. The man continued to fire several more rounds to show the shields completely functional.<br/><br/><span style="color: darkorange">That is fresh out of R&amp;D. Its so new that I can count the number of suits of armor with it currently active on one hand. We're calling it redundant shield generation - and its literally that. When the kinetic barrier falls, a circuit closes and starts a second generator while the primary recharges. </span>He leaned on the desk.<span style="color: darkorange">The second generator is smaller, so you'll have less shield time on it and it takes longer to recharge, but in a pinch, caught out of cover or facing a charging Krogan, this thing will save your life. Hell, some asshole merc sees your shields pop, charges you - imagine how surprised he's going to be when he finds out your shields are still up. All that said, its by far the most expensive alteration to the armor. Including it during manufacturing puts the cost at about 57,5 - so total cost would be right around 232,500 credits. With any upgrades, the cost increases significantly if you decide to add it post production. Most of the other upgrades, that's not too bad, but since the RSG here has to be integrated directly, the cost basically doubles. So pick this up pre-production, and as the credits keep rolling, add the other upgrades along the way. Either way, I'm going to set you up with a file for all of the options for you to look over if you decide to add something later.</span>He finished up the work order in accordance to Darion's wishes.<br/><br/>He read Darion the final price, depending on his choices and and ran his chit. [COLOR=darkorange"]Alright then... it'll be ready tomorrow. I can't say for sure when, but we'll give you a call when its done. [/COLOR]He stood up and shook Darion's hand.<span style="color: darkorange">Come on, I'll walk you out.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: darkorange">You said you were thinking about doing some 'relaxing' right?</span>The rep chuckled.<span style="color: darkorange">Yeah, the directory told you to go to Blue Moon or some damn place, am I right? Yeah... don't waste the credits, man. They're payed to direct people there - and hey its great if your looking for cheap asari hookers, but I'll tell you what, you scratch my back I scratch yours. Hit up a place called Cobalt Blue. Its a lounge and most anything goes. Its also pricey as hell, but tell the door man that Mike from Kassa sent you. We've got a deal going for out clients. Trust me on this one, Darion. Its worth every credit.</span>He winked and chuckled a little then shook Darion's hand at the door.<br/><br/><span style="color: darkorange">Alright, we will see you tomorrow.</span>The rep said, heading back.<br/><br/><br/>***<br/><br/><br/>Taseer's eyebrow rose as Kala told her in detail why she was the way she was.<span style="color: navy">"Ah."</span>The Asari responded.<span style="color: navy">"That makes a great deal more sense to me, then. Didn't know you got picked up by slavers. Fucking pigs... but hey, you can't let something like that rule you."</span>Taseer continued tapping away at the console, not taking her eyes off the information she was browsing.<br/><br/><span style="color: navy">Take it from someone whose pushing 200, the shit piles up fast. You can't let it stick around or pretty soon everything looks like crap. Even the good stuff. <i>Especially</i> the good stuff.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: blue">All hands we're making docking preparations. Notified crew to the cargo bay.</span>Cantenelli's voice echoed over the comms in engineering, drawing Taseer's attention skyward.<br/><br/><span style="color: navy">"Ah negotiating... standing around trying to be unfair about prices. Oh and the guns. Everybody loves the guns."</span>Taseer decried the notion with derisive sarcasm.<span style="color: navy">"I'm never sad to miss that tit measuring contest. Or dick measuring, I guess humans call it."</span>She chuckled a little to herself.<span style="color: navy">"Males... You aliens and your genders."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
