"Sjors Wiebe, Apprentice Conquesteur of Yale Colony. Please, let me lead you to Rudolph. He's in his office."

Sjors led the group into a large dome that had a bunch of computers and partly disassembled robots, much like the one that accompanied him.

He opened a fogged glass door and showed the Feneixians into an office with Rudolph Yale, dressed in a lab coat, at the other end in a leather chair.

"Please - sit down. If you can - it took even me a while to get used to it on this kind of gravity.

OOC: By "humanoid robot" I mean a slightly more developed ASIMO. Nothing like C-3PO or anything.

Sit down - that was not too easy. Although Laya managed to do so very early comparised to the others, she still needed 2 minutes. "I really like this zero-gravity." she said wih a laugh.

The two bodyguards managed it too, but much later.

Dr. Corona blushed a bit as he recognizes that he must look very funny trying to sit down, so he just let himself be floating a few centimeters above the seat, with a grim look.

"Thank you, Sjors." Laya said.

-----OOC-----
Yeah, I already thought something like that, but thanks for the clarification.

OOC: There's gravity on the moon. You wouldn't just float, but walking would be like hopping; hence the velcro shoes.

"Beautiful sight outside, id'n it? But I get beside myself. Please, tell me what you would like to say."

"As you can see" Laya begun "you´re not the only one interesting in space colonization. As I saw that you are here too, I just thought maybe we can work together to increase our efficience and so got better results."

"Oh, and maybe your scientist and I can work together." Dr. Corona added.

-----OOC-----
Ok, although they will still look funny (except Laya).

"Sounds like a good idea. We could do that."

Laya nodded. "What are you planning at now? We need to know what you´re doing to cooperate efficencly."

"We're beginning our project of mining of the moon. We've found a good site about 5 kilometers north of here for iron. Once it gets developed, Yale Colony alone will provide Taijitu with millions of tons of iron every year."

"Ok. We can provide you with technology and scientists." Laya said.

"But for that, we´ll want percents. Let´s come to the business part."

"Dr. Corona..."

-----OOC-----
(I´m not greedy, but Corona is a bit. Don´t mistake that, he´s the only one who might be angry if there´s not much reward - I´m just RPing him out correctly^^)

"We're also planning a trip to Orestes. It's probably just an anomaly, but the Myrorian Telescope orbiting Taijitu has seen what appears to be...ruins near the equator. Again, it's probably just an anomaly, but, we're going to check it out anyway. Even so, Orestes is far too dry to support life now. At the same time as we test this, though, we'll have a chance to test our Nuclear Fusion Deep Space Craft, or NFDSC. It has eight small load hydrogen bombs on it, which will allow it to reach Orestes far faster than any craft known now. The basic premise of it is that it launches this hydrogen bomb through the back of the ship, then travels on it's explosion, which allows it to catapult it very quickly. Since Orestes is so close, we'll probably only have to use three of the eight hydrogen bombs to get the ship there and back, since we'll be using gravity assist on the return trip. The NFSDC will be attached to a tug which will be launched from that mass driver over there. Once it is jettisoned and the tug far enough away, we'll be on our way to Orestes.

OOC: I don't believe this to be a godmod because:

1. It's being used for completely peaceful purposes.
2. NASA was researching this but cancelled it largely because of the danger of nuclear fallout to humans. There's minimal nuclear fallout if it starts it's run from orbit instead of the surface.

"Hmm..that´s quite interesting. I ask therefore to take part myself in this mission."

"I and my scientists will wait for our shuttle to arrive here, I suppose that won´t take longer than three hours."

-----OOC-----
I don´t think the use of the Orion Project is godmoddish either.

The Feniexian space shuttle is currrently transported to your base. Inside, there is the resting lace for my crew and some labs of Corona and his scientists.

"Ok then. The capsule at the front has no windows; if it did we'd be blinded by the explosions. It does, however, have a camera so that we can still see what's going on without being blinded. The capsule can hold 16 people comfortably, 24 people at the maximum. Allow me to lead you to the ship; it's being stood up along with it's bigger bretheren. The bigger ones have yet to be tested, but if all go as planned we should be able to fit at least 600 on the largest (The Orion Project in real life was made for 1080 at the largest; I scaled it down so it's impossible to go farther than the nearest stars). Once your scientists are ready to go, the mission will commence about 4 hours after that."

OOC:  Where are the resources coming from to produce all of this?

Laya nodded. "I´ll take 5 scientists with me."

Then, she went her head in the directipn of one of her bodyguards.
"Go to my mooncrawler and bring the scientists to me. Oh, and don´t forget to lock it."
