Tayorn looked back at him and answered.
"You are right in that trust is something you will have to earn first."
He paused and frowned at the captain with all of his four eyes, he did seem to have cought onto that he wanted to say something, though he continued anyway.
"Now the question is how you think you could earn that or more how I think you could earn that trust, we will not be taking any free help or wares, it is not that easy. Beforehand, is there anything else important to know about the COIS? Do you have any questions?"

The Rudra shrugged, he didn´t seem to care eitehr way.
"We have rare earth elements and radioactive meterials to offer, Uranium, Thorium, Radium and so on, otherwise it´s credits."
The last few crates seemed to have been transported, the human went back to his ship and the Rudra back through teh doors that likely led to the storage areas... With a sound of metal followed by that of decompression behind closed doors
the docking port to his ship closed, presumably he left afterwards...
Benny seemed to be the only foreigner on the station now.

Drakador_Chaos "Now we're talking, rare metals..."

The mothman fluttered his wings.

"I got a buyer who'd pay a pretty penny for some tritium... if you've got it. I'll look to source alien plants for your needs if I make off with an equivalent trade of tritium. Otherwise, I can sell you what's in my cargo hold for whatever radioactive metals you got."

Tayorn stared down at the Chancellor, he had been sitting there for quite a while now without Tayorn receiving any answer. Whilst politics was something that should always be well thought out, the time this human was taking was almost like an insult, giving the impression he was just here to waste his time or distract him...
"Now, what is it Chancellor? Has your presence here left you speechless?"

Chancellor_Winsenz

Drakador_Chaos After a few moments of thinking, Chancellor started speaking again.
"I dont have any questions for now and i think you already understood that COIS is curently expanding it terretories and to defend these territories we need better fleet. I know this is risky to say but anyways, i will trust you on this one. COIS is exetremly weak right now and..." Chancellor took a deap breath. "That exactly why do we need to gain your trust... I know how it sounds, but we really need help."

The Rudra nodded and turned back to his display, apparently searching for benny had asked for...
"We do not have Tritium on the station here, but our sister station on the other side of the orbit should still have some."
He turned towards Benny again.
"I cannot give you any tritium in advance as things stand currently but we can trade you for what you have currently with you, however if you return with more wares we can offer you more tritium in return."
There was abeeping sound from the display and the Rudra looked over for a couple of moments...
"We can unload your wares here and prepare a container on the other station in the meanwhile, then you would just have to pick it up. Is that acceptable? I have also just been told to ask you for the position of this 'Galactic British Empire' for the starmaps, if that's not a problem."
The Rudra waited, it would really be more convenient to get rid of the cargo here and then pick the container on the other side, it would logically involve a minimal risk as he essentially left the station with not much else than a contract, but the Rudra, although they seemed to have grudges against some races, didn't seem to be the type to scam or even lie to someone.

Drakador_Chaos "Raw food in exchange for tritium? That... does sound like a deal..."

"The GBE's starmaps are property of Intergalactic Cartography, I am in no legal right to give that information..."

Benny looked around for a moment... realising that such legal matters would not matter so much out here...

"But... we can strike a deal. How advanced are your engineers? I've been looking to upgrade my ship's frame shift drive to jump to more distant sectors... if I can get such an upgrade... I might... accidentally give you the star maps of the GBE."

The moth man flicked a flash drive into a PDA device, before unslotting it and flicking it in his claws.

"How does that sound for a bargain? Full system scan of inhabited sectors - this kinda data sells for over a million credits anywhere else."

The moth was getting cocky in his offers... if the GBE found out he had sold such data to an unlicensed 3rd party, he'd be in deep strife.

The Rudra looked at the PDA for a couple of moments and seemed to be thinking.
He checked something on his side of the counter but eventually shook his head.
"If what you call 'Frame Shift Drive' is the same as what we call a warp drive, then I can´t help you. The Rudra haven´t used any warp drives in ages and are currently relying on Hyperdrives."
He returned back to the front of the counter.
"Only the wares then? ...and do you need help unloading your ship?"

Compilatron

Drakador_Chaos "I mean, sure, it'll just save both of our time."

The man nodded, went back to his display and after a couple of moments handed him a small standard data storage over the counter.
"Head over to storage two, they will alread yknow what´s to do, just tell them which of the carge they are to move out. When you´re leaving and heading to the other station, transmit the code on the storage, they´ll send you the cargo boxes out."
The man went back to his display, apparently thinking he was now done with Benny for the moment. Whilst they weren´t the most polite, in the end these Rudra didn´t seem to be quite as dangerous or hostile as their looks would suggest...
As Benny turned around he saw the gate two in the same area the other merchant had been unloading his wares, two other Rudra standing guard or maybe just waiting near the gate already, it was somewhat hard hard to discern guards and workers on the station... if there was a difference to begin with.

Drakador_Chaos The mothman follows the instructions, and soon the cargo is successfully exchanged.

(Sorry for the late reply)

After transfering the cargo to the station, there were no further formalities, the mothman was free to leave with his code for the other station.
Once he reached the other station, which looked pretty similar to the one he had been to first, and transfered the code, a cargo container was ejected from the stations hangar, without any further questions...
The Rudra seemed to be rather uncomplicated when it came to trade.

Drakador_Chaos Benny dragged the crate aboard his craft.

(I'm struggling to visualise what his instructions were, heh)

Drakador_Chaos

Compilatron
Upon checking the container, it contained a number of smaller boxes each labeled with its contents, namely as promised a number of different rare earth elements, sorted by type, the crates, were somewhat crude compared to more modern ones but seemed to have been sealed correctly to avoid leakages, additionally to the labels each crate had a small display, also containing info on the contents and said contents status.
Everything seemed to be in order.

Compilatron

Drakador_Chaos Benny finished loading up his craft, and prepared ro undock. Seeing as there was little reason for formalities, he filed to whatever control systems the station operated to prepare to undock.

Whenever that permission was granted, the small vessel would quickly depart and glide off into the inky black of space.

Chancellor_Winsenz

Drakador_Chaos can we forget about your last message? Sorry, i had a lot of exams so i coldnt answer, actually i wasnt even playing.

Drakador_Chaos

Chancellor_Winsenz
I may be willing to, if you say something before disappearing mid interaction for three weeks without a trace in future.

Tayorn narrowed his eyes, all four of them.
"That is quite the information you share with me here, you seek military support because you lack that for yourself?"
He paused.
"What would you do if I planned to attack you now?"
He paused again.
"What do you want to expand for to begin with?"
He put his hands together and waited, the atmosphere was rather... tense, to put it lightly.

As the conversation stretched and Tayorn found himself repeatedly with a lack of adequate answers from teh chancellors side, the Rudra eventually decided to abort the negotiations, the emissaries from the COIS were sent back to the ship and the two groups parted ways, with the Rudra returning to their home system...
