"Mister Stellar, Mister Stellar please wait!" Ciearra shouted as the guards let her pass to approach him.

"I'm sorry. We had to know who you were and if you were truly capable of this type of deal. Ishara knew what would happen and so did I. We already heard about the elaborate security measures but they had to be tested. I'm sure the recording from the cameras show the brief moment she winked at one of them."

It was then Ishara walked down the corridor in her evening gown.

"I believe we have a dinner date Mister Stellar if the offer still stands?"

Ishara smiled.

"I offer my apologies as well. Aside from a small pistol on my leg for my own protection, I am unarmed."

Rob was half way to his door when he hear Cierra running after him. He shook his head a little and turned in time to see two of the security officers stand in her way. Once he allowed them to let her go, he stood and listened to her talk. Most of what she said was a lie of course, no one knew about the building security since it had only been completed a month ago and all the work had been done by his own company. This was actually the first time the system had been fully contested. It was possible they had heard about attempts against other facilities that belonged to Stellar Enterprises.

"I'm sure she did, but this is not a way to gain my trust. I believe you both need me more I need you. If you are truly trying to apologized for misusing my trust and hospitality, I will forgive you both this one time. Next time you wish to see my security personal in action, please let me to set up a proper demonstration." As he ended this, he could see Ishara walking up towards them and turned to face her without a smile.

"I guess we already showed each other our guns and the reservation has been made. Fine we can have dinner. Follow me." Rob said without a smile again.

He started to walk in front of the women and turned towards the turbolift as the security personal formed up around them. Inside, his mind was still in conflict. He knew they probably didn't know another way to conduct business, but that is no excuse to excuse to pull a gun out and try to intimidate the man would is will to do business with you. As the lift rose up to the highest levels, Rob tried to let everything that happened wash away from him. Perhaps after this they could work better together.

You are too forgiving Rob. He said to himself, but knew he could not change, it was his way.

As the lift opened it revealed a large, expansive hanger filled with a variety of shuttles and landspeeders. One of these speeders, a long stretched airspeeder moved forward and rested infront of then.

Rob walked towards it and opened the door, standing beside it. "Please after you."

Dinner had ended and Ishara and Stellar spent a long time discussing plans and opening doors to a form of partnership. Each became less apprehensive of the other.

Back at the Stellar building, Ishara walked with Stellar down the corridors to her quarters.

"I'm glad we have come to an understanding today. I do have a token of trust to share with you after out initial meeting."

Ishara reached for her gun and handed it to Stellar.

"It's been equipped with a homemade device. The same one is on my blaster. It has a device on it which modifies blaster so it cannot be detected by scanners. Feel free to take it apart and see what makes it tick and market it. By the way, any weapons I may order from you in the future... see to it they have this modification already. It's very time consuming to do so on my own."

Ishara smiled. She almost got Stellar to let out a laugh as he seemed impressed with the device and knodded to her.

"Cierra and I need to leave as we have business obligations elsewhere. To contact me, use the same channels going through Cierra. Keep it vague otherwise use an encoded channel. I will leave a case with a substantial down payment in our quarters."

Ishara began to close the door then smiled again.

"It won't explode either! Thank you for dinner."

The door closed.

Rob thanked Ishara for the gift and acknowledged that he will send word of the final proposed design. After she closed the door me moved to his room and quickly got into bed after a long shower. It had turned into a long day.
