The <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Free Wind<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> slid into place with the rest of the ships, and a shuttle darted out.

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Gentlemen, let's call this meeting to order. From what I have gathered, the Representitive from MMI may be a little late, so let's get on with it.

Kas sat, and the rep. from IDT stood.

Noding to the indication that it was his turn to speak, he stood, pressing the chair back with his legs.

"My dear collegues, these are very dark days under which we operate. With the war just showing signs of its ending, mass's of our own networks destroyed by both the loss of life and ships, it becomes harder and harder to keep things above status quo. Im sure you understand what I mean.

"What I wish to propose is a way to not only keep our profits up, not only now, but for all time. My friends, I propose an Interstellar Conglomorate, an extremely close alliance of all our assets. This would not only guaruntee our financial empires longer and more prudent life, but also give us all a greater defense from those empires that would seek us harm..."

He, too nodded his head, and awaited the IDTech CEO to continue.
