A Broadsword is worth a lot of Cbills, does the Shark want the two Broadswords we captured? Not really, so they would only take that deal if they are making money off it. They’d take two Broadswords now as down payment, (They are worth around 575k combined) and then we’d still owe 500k later. That way they make a little money off the trade.

After some negotiation, we get them to toss in a pair of Ha Otoko mechs as well.

Then we give them 100,000 Cbills of the money we made, as a future down-payment, that will reduce future costs, and give them cash to use now to help defray future costs. That’s pouts us at roughly 600,000, right?

Well, we have some mechs we took and salvaged what about them?

They a walk through our mechs to see what we have. Again, we would need to give a lot more than their value to make things work, but…




We have gotten these 30 mechs from this campaign, many of which are already fixed up from the Trials we won.

Kraken
Phoenix Hawk IIcx2
Griffin IIc
Vixen
Viper
Hellhound
Cougarx5
Rifleman IIcx2
Lokix4
Black Lanner x2
Night Gyr
Uller
Thorx2
Masakari
Turkina
Mad Cat
Fire Falcon
Man o War
Nova



We offer them Lokis (19 mill a piece)Thors, (21 mill a pop), and those 6 mechs are 120 mill. We also offer a the Man o War, (26 mill), Nova (11 million) and such. They are really more interested in newer designs, like the Fire Falcon, Cougar, and Black Lanner. (Cougar is 6.1 mill, Black Lanner 18 mill, and Fire Falcon 4.7 mill). We offer them some of each, and we come to a deal. We sell them

Lokix4, Thorx2, Man o War, Uller, Cougarx3, Black Lannerx2, Fire Falcon, Nova, Vixen

For:

253, mill sticker price, and they give us 200 mill in discount for it.

That leaves us just owing 200 mill on the far end, if the costs end up being that much, it’s possible they could be a lot less or more, after they crack it open


A couple of days later we buy the rest of the Ha Otokos with the money we made. We’re happy to be future buyers as well.
