Rob nodded slowly and thanked the waiter droids as his plate was taken away. He looked back at Jarvis and wondered if the Ryn was enjoying his meal.

"Of course, I understand. We are both busy men these days I can see. That is not always a bad thing." Rob laughed a little and smiled, finishing off his drink before leaning back into his seat.

"Are you free to leave or stay whenever you like. Just let me know what you wish. The speeder is always waiting so when you both are finished with your meals we could leave immediately if you like."

Once said, Rob let the Ryn eat as the pleased and turned to look out the window. Off in the distance a framework was already being constructed to support another processing facility. Hundreds of worker droids were at the site working all day long to complete the buildings as soon as possible. Soon the massive structure would be operational and producing many more tons of new reprocessed metals. Profits would rise substantially.

As Jarvis finished his meal, he and Ferril stood and made their way over to the window. "I appreciate your hospitality, and thank you for the opportunity you have given us. But it would be best if we leave now; the sooner I get back to my ship, the sooner my people can get to work assembling the escort forces."

Jarvis took another step toward Rob, extending his hand. "Again, thank you, Rob. If there's anything else we can do for you, don't hesitate to let me know."

Rob smiled and took the Ryn's hand, shaking it firmly. "I wont, I assure you. It was a pleasure doing business with you and forming this partnership "

He watched both the Ryn and wondered how well this would work out. Hopefully they would protect his convoys with the same vigor as they had when dealing with the pirates at Ojom. Rob smiled with these thoughts still going through his mind and shook Ferril's hand as well before watching the two leave.

The same speeder that had brought them to the building was there awaiting them and proceeded to take both to their ship.

"Ferril and I will stay here and escort the convoy tomorrow," Jarvis said a little while later as he stood on the bridge of Wanerer's Home. "Allara, take your fighter to Ojom, and finalize the spaceport deal; and remember, be nice. Zal, I need you and Gren to meet our contacts, and get things moving as quickly as possible." He paused, handing Zal a datapad. "This is a revised list of materials we need; give it to the right people."

"Ion cannons?" Zal asked, almost disgusted.

"Ion cannons," Jarvis confirmed. "Lots and lots of ion cannons. Trust me." Jarvis smiled broadly, taking on a more lighthearted mood as he stepped back to address the whole group. "Now, we have a boss to impress; let's get to it. No sense in sitting around here all day, when there's plenty of work to be done."
