You have one in your possession if I remember correctly, yes? Her alone could bring you certain favors from us, as well as the salvage...However. I'm afraid it is not that easy in this case, Herr Oststein."</em><br/><br/>Ranna watched intently, sitting back in her chair, a matte black leather boot on the table.  She wasn't sure what game Jaime and Anton were playing with the negotiations but it seemed rather odd that they would be so openly trying to pry the Clanner from the company.  She could see from the look in Anton's eye that there was more to this than he was letting on, regardless of his sly insinuations.<br/><br/>With a kick of her foot, she bumped the table enough for it to screech on the floor before stopping.  She used the momentum to push herself out of the chair, standing to the side.  "They're playing us Erich."  She said walking around the side of the table where Anton sat, leaning in on the table mere inches from his shoulder.  "There's something going on here, but they don't want the salvage or think its worth what we think it is."  She eyed Anton's face for a moment before looking over at Erich.  "They think they're going to be able to force us to give them what we have at a discount because they run the show.  But what they're not telling us is that they are up to their assholes in contracts and merc units are getting their asses handed to them out there with the Clans pushing so far and fast."<br/><br/>She pushed off the desk and smiled.  Walking back around to stand behind Erich.  "They hope getting the Clanner from us will give them some sort of bargaining chip with the houses to expand their control long enough to finish this conflict."  She shrugged with a mischievous grin on her face as she walked towards the door.  "Just my opinion.  But then again I know how Jaime thinks."  Standing by the door she propped herself against the wall, her eyes never leaving Captain Karnov.<br/>
