Lux thought for a moment and grinned sheepishly. "You make a wonderful argument. Though the company we are devising as of now is in need of clientele. I plan to sell the smallest of our products to all sides. You see, a good arms dealer is one that sells to both sides and doesn't get caught. As such I would prefer the corporate face of Ataxia remain relatively neutral in the eyes of the public. While trading off to each faction in secrecy." At this a dark glimmer appeared in his eyes to rival that of Visari. "Though I wouldn't object to an underhanded alliance. Certainly the Sith Empire has no qualms against my philosophies and as I've said in the past: The Ends Justify The Means."

Visari smiled in satisfaction as Lux answered. Perhaps choosing to enter into a partnership with this man had been a good idea after all. "You are a wise man, Lux," he said. "I cannot tell you how pleased I am to hear that you seem to know how to go about business properly. After all, as a business, the goal is profit is it not?" That dark glimmer returned to Visari's eyes as he looked a Lux. "And that is what we strive for, not matter what steps have to be taken along the way. And as you have said, we will, of course try to remain as neutral as possible in the public space, that goes without saying. But this deal i have brokered with our friend Shard has a great deal of potential for growth and expansion." Visari chuckled softly. "I'm not one to use cliches often, but it seems as though the sky really is the limit with the events that are about to fall in place. After all, what better way for an arms manufacturer to make profit is there than war?"
As he talked, he started to pace around a bit, leaving a web of bootprints in the snow. "Of course, if you are to ride on the success of Shard's Dominion, I would expect that you will be asked to do more than provide what your research entails." He stopped and turned to face Lux again, looking directly into the Arkanian's pale eyes. "You seem to be the fighting sort of man. I have no doubt that you will be asked to lend some assistance in battles, especially in the initial assault on Farrfin. I know I will be involved in some of the fighting myself, to tell the truth... After all," he started with a wicked grin," I bring a great many abilities to the table that many others do not have. But that is neither here nor there. Are there any other matters that need to be discussed here? Or is this meeting concluded?"

Lux's eyes shift and suddenly each of his hands seem to be holding a Heavy blaster. Quickly he fires off two shots into the falling snow. A painful cry is heard off in the distance as some poor unfortunate soul dies. "It seems the Quertios already have a good amount of corporate competition if people are attempting to scale their buildings to spy on them." He replaces the blasters in his pockets and turns back to the Epicanthix before him. "I believe that would conclude our conversation. I will require more information on these future battles that you speak of but I don't believe this is the place for such talk."

"As you say, then," Visari said, and neither his voice nor his posture gave any outward indication that he had been paying attention to what Lux had just done. But he was quite pleased inwardly. Good, good, he thought. This one will be of use in the future.
"I will, of course, be keeping in touch with you as time goes by, and I while let you know when the time to move comes. Just know it may take some time. I have business on Korriban that needs to be taken care of before we can start moving towards our goal." He reached his hand out to shake Lux's. "It has been a pleasure to meet you Lux, and I am very much looking forward to working with you in the future." With that, he turned to make his way back to the shuttle he had taken to to the surface of Arkania.
------------------------
Some time after that, the shuttle docked with The Ballestra once more, and Visari made his way back to his office on board the ship. He uploaded the signed contract from the datapad into the company's database and leaned back in his chair, thinking about recent events. Certainly, Visari Enterprises was about to enter into a new stage of growth and expansion, with the deals that had been brokered with Shard and Lux. A smile crossed his face as he sat there, and the screen before him flashed to life, displaying the face of the ship's captain.
"Welcome back, sir. Did your work on the surface go well?"
"Indeed," Visari said, "things went very well."
"That's always good to know, sir. Are we still set to make our way to Korriban?"
"Of course," Visari said as his grin grew. Not only was the time for unprecedented growth of the corporation nigh, he'd be busy growing himself, with the rebirth of the Sith Order. What marvelous times, he thought.
"As you say, sir," the captain said, and the screen faded away again. The Ballestra's engines kicked to life and the ship started to pull away from Arkania as it prepared to make the hyperspace jump. A few moments later, it lunged forward, disappearing into hyperspace as it moved onward to Korriban.

Lux smiled back at Visari as he shook his hand. This man was particularly interesting and perhaps he was exactly what Lux would need to establish Ataxia's grip on the Galaxy.
He nodded to the man and gracefully boarded his ship. The Harbinger's steel maw closed behind him and quickly took off. The vessel's crew was as silent as the snow outside as they ascended...
Lux, watched the display intently, contemplating his next move as they entered orbit.
