her wine glass, giving this a moment to sink in.  "We expect to recoup our significant investment through the terms of the lease repayments, particularly when the value of whatever salvage you acquire is factored into your income, as well as whatever you might purchase from the company store," she said pleasantly.  "As it is, we expect you'll have to be dealing with salvage demands from your employers among the Castillans and the Caliphate.  Now, since you all seem so eager to discuss terms..."<br/><br/>She smiled, and for a moment, it looked like she even meant it.  "Let's talk business.  Thomas, the contract?"<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Contract details/OOC Condensing</div><div
