Tailinto smiled "Well as you are talking with the enemy why not drink with them. I said you were driving as well I couldn't exactly say you were on duty could I?"
Tailinto left her arm and skunk like tail about Nakhi.
"We really should get down to business, as no one is paying attention to us. Your off duty as you are intelligence gathering so it is best to fit in as you pump me for intelligence?" smiled.

Also, I don't consider you an enemy. But as for intelligence, I would prefer to call it a conversation between friends. I am not much for intelligence work. I have no love for it. "It's not my job anyway. I will listen, and listen closely, but more than likely I won't tell the General any of it unless it was extremely important." Then again... with the fact that people just can't resist me it seems, I should be an ACIA spy.

"hmm not good at intelligence...yip your military" Tailinto laughed.
She took a slug out of one of the bottles of brown ale. Leaving her tail and paw as was.
"Right we have figured who is causing this mess. He is a psychopath of the purest meaning. Put it this way he is charming and persuasive enough to have managed to go out with PM salato for two weeks. She dumped him and he would do anything he can to hurt her. He caused the civil war threw his charm and limited power to gain power and hurt her. When it went wrong for them he grabbed as much cash as he could and used the rebels to shield his escape.
This is the kind of person we are trying to shut down, and even if we can't catch him...we can contain him" said in a cold tone.
"We're planning on hitting him where it will hurt him the most...his power base and in the pocket. If you help us we can really kick him hard." Tailinto said giving an evil smile.

Tailinto smiled "There plan is based on shorting stock in all the corps up that have invested up here, the tribal funds are moving but it takes them a while. The shorts have to be paid back by 16:30 in two days.
A short is basically an agreement to sell shares back at the agreed price, what ever the market price. If the price goes up you lose...so we plan to make the price go up fast enough that they can't buy in time.
If your gov buys one corp, catane plc, well a majority share at 956,430,320 meeps and 12 cenis, I have talked to the tribal funds that is their price,, and guarantees the debts at the same time. We can make it possible, with luck we can organise to act as one. We can kill off the orgs and bankrupt the people behind this. If you can get others to buy, but to become majority shareholders, if you or they take over those behind this will not suffer as they should.
If we move together we can kill them. But it must be a raid, united, quiet and merciless.".
"You have a com or something likewise? to talk to him so he can give the nod?" she asked.
Then smiled "catane plc's market price is far below it the value of it's assets, there are other corps in the same position. Having a few more flags over this place when we get it might help.
Turn this place from a place of conflict to a place of friendship like the people here in this bar have."
She put her com on the table and snuggled up a little.
"If you don't have one use mine, btw this would effectively be an atomic strike against them if we can make the prices go vertical they are totally stuffed. We think there is likely to be people unfriendly to you gov working on this as well. Well that and pretty much every terrorist on the planet in on it." she smiled.

Pocket change to him. Plus, I have his account information. I can access it quickly and buy the shares. "You still didn't answer my question. Since the profit from this is going to IX, what do I get out of this?"

Tailinto smiled "Well if you can get the other northern govs in to make this a monumental shafting. Dunno bragging rights and well to trade on the stock exchange you have to have a company registered in the commonwealth. I'll make a call and you get to name the front of the company that did it....
And if you are hinting at what I think you are, I not that kinda female. I know bugger all about you and despite what you hear about us we are not that easy.
You have not done your chances any favours there."

"And to think I was willing to work with people that are willing to insult me almost from the start. have a wonderful day and have fun trying to take down this person alone." I headed out of the bar.

Tailinto sighed "I thought people from the south were meant to be the hottest blooded"
She started to fume, the ones from the commonwealth were now giving her a wide berth.
"Right get back here." She shouted.
She caught up with him.
"Look I kinda like you ancestors knows why. But you don't seem to realise there are lives running on us making a deal. Sooner or later someone will star throwing lead, crystal or ancestors help up uranium about. Have a strop with me but there are things bigger than us going on." She said looking him strait in the eye.
"Hate me all you want but we have to make a deal, your strop might cost lives" she said as she returned to her seat.

Tailinto thought for a second.
She ran up to Nakhi "Look we have a miss-understanding, hear me out"
"Well as the person who formed the company here you would be the person in charge. You would effectively be the commercial wing of the empire here. Well that and you would own four hotels including that." Tailinto pointed up.
"Look came down we need you to talk to the other northern nations and fix this mess." Tailinto smiled.
"Well that and they haven't finished the penthouse yet..if you buy out the corp after this...that could be your dream home." ended looking a little pitiful.

Colonel Nakhi WelhanHeh, she's trying to bargain with me. Pathetic Cali. Run off on a diplomatic meeting, I'll let it go. Go to a bar, fine, I can talk there. Then insult me when we have a deal, that's too far. "I don't think we understand each other very well." I started to yell. "You insult ME and you expect me to work with you?! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING THROUGH YOUR HEAD? Now you're trying to bargain with me to get me to sit down? No, I am not going to sit down. Fuck your Commonwealth, fuck your people, fuck whatever you wanted to accomplish by getting me to sit here! "Have a nice day. Go to hell." With that, I left. I better find IX and tell him what just happened. Unfortunate, I liked her too.

Tailinto snarled "Right"
She got on her com "We have the northern diplos here force them to stay, dunno ground all planes in the city. They will talk to us and quit f**king off because we said something never dealing with the issue.
Feel free to ask anyone to be a go between, but these people are unreasonable.
Sorry but we have to bash head on the issue not cultural issues. Lets just f**King fix this issue. I am sick of them running off like kids." it was straight to the Mie.
Mie passed the message on to the tinisian government as this was still officially tinisian territory.

"Something vexes ye?" asked an accented voice from behind Tailinto in a horrible mix of languages from the peninsula down south. "I couldn't help but overheard a tiff of some sorts. Doth ye boyfriend be walking the outs?"
-----
From: The Desk of Secretary of State Cecil of the Union of Tinis To: Anean Colony Representatives Subject: The Current War of Words
I just got an unusual message from one Tailinto of the nation of Cal regarding the breakdown of your meeting in the free city. I'm not entirely certain what happened but from the sounds of things it would seem your representative walked away from the bargaining table before things were concluded.
Though I consider our nations on good terms, I can't help but be distressed by the threats that have gone back and forth of late between the nation that administers the city and your own leadership. We do not very much care about the economics of the situation but we do care about any threat to the civilians of Sarue Nu. At this time, a majority of the workers of the city enjoy the benefits of citizenship of the Union of Tinis. And as such it is in our interest to keep the city safe.
Thus we humbly request that these negotiations be rebooted in a less hostile manner. Again, we do not really care about the economics of the situation, though if you wish we can easily debate the merits and consequences, both reasonable and unreasonable. Our interests are simply in the safety of our citizenry. Thus we would like to make sure some sort of agreement is made. If your nation wishes an arbiter, we would be more than willing to assist, either with one of our government acting as such or we could locate an outside individual to perform the job.
Again, please return to the negotiating table as soon as possible so that we may all once again enjoy the harmony of good relations.
-Secretary Cecil

Colonel Nakhi Welhan
I am glad IX has that bag. We are getting out of this city. I am almost lucky that they didn't check that bag... though if someone came across it we would have problems.
IX wanted protection in case this all went to hell. In the bag, under shirt, pants, and shoes, are two SMGs and two clips for each. Hopefully that would be enough.
Now I must find IX. Shouldn't be too hard. More than likely, he went to the train station. I also picked him up on my tracker. Just had to pinpoint his communications thing.
Rio came over comms and said, "Nakhi, we got a message from the Tinisians. They basically told us to go back to the table and talk."
I said, "That's not happening. Make a message for me and send it back. Here is what happened." I then gave him a slightly twisted version of what happened there. "Just remember, that is 100% accurate."
"It is?"
"Hey, information warfare is not who is right, it is who gets it to the people that will arbitrate first."
"Right. I will get that message written up."
"Good. I am looking for IX."
With that, I started to run down the road. The SMGs in the bag were now audibly clanging. Honestly, I think only soldiers would know what it actually was.
After a few minutes of running, I saw IX on a bench with... Tod? Seriously? He spent this time with Tod? Damn it IX.
I said, "General, we are leaving NOW."
"What happened?" he asked, of course.
"I probably just pissed off the Cali."
"Good job."
"We have to get out. They got us sir. If we don't get out, they will probably take us prisoner."
"They won't take us prisoner without a fight." He pulled his bag from under the bench. "Don't worry, I am ready if things go downhill any faster than they have now. I will call the pilot and tell him to pick us up at the golf course." Before we left, IX gave Tod a hug and said, "Sorry I have to go already."
We then headed out toward the golf course.
Captain Caleb Talamo
I still don't know why IX wanted me to fly this thing, but it's extra pay so- IX called for an emergency pickup? I knew that would happen.
I closed the rear door of the shuttle and began to back out of where we had landed. I just have to get in position for a vertical takeoff.
Not too long passed before I was in position. I moved the engines vertical and started to takeoff. No one better try to stop me.
Major Tamarynn Rio
I guess I have to write that message up now.
---
From: Major and Acting Governor Tamarynn Rio To: Secretary of State Cecil of the Union of Tinis Subject: The Current War of Words
From what Colonel Welhan, our active diplomat has told me, the Cali representative had managed to get a deal out of him. However, when the Colonel asked for something in return (since IX apparently would be making all the profit and Nakhi would get nothing), the Cali insulted the Colonel and he left.
Mind you, this was merely a meeting in a bar, nothing formal. Nothing formal was arranged. It was to be an informal conversation from what I understand.
Anyway, after the colonel had headed for the door of the bar, the Cali attempted to make him stay, but then she decided to bring up IX's approval (IX wasn't there at the time, he was sick or something). Colonel Welhan was going to sit and talk until she brought that up. Of course, Welhan is hot headed and he said some things that were better left unsaid.
That is all I know at this time. Though, I believe that Colonel Welhan and General IX are on the way out of the city right now.
To address your concern, I do wish to see this ended as soon as possible. However, since IX wouldn't like if I said this, I want to make you aware that IX's threat of blowing ships up was a failed bluff to make the Cali back down.
- Major Tamarynn Rio
