Wey'lllll. Except Montana doesn't seem to need domes, and Mr. Westman by his own admission might be hard headed enough to not need a helmet enough to bounce when tossed from medium distances.

That said, he's got this slightly disreputable if partially reformed reputation that could be useful in Henke, Terekhov, and Aivars, 10F V.S.T, Ltd., a "Manticoran LLC", on behalf of Khumalo, Matusko, and Winton... SEM.

Just don't announce that the VST stands for "Verge System Takeovers".

Ltd. to Haven, Talbott, and...

hmm....


I ain't investing in that one folks 'cause the eponymous owner is doling out too many free services.

Rumor is that Wasted Fly Holo Productions has had it's products banned from Grayson (due to violation of obscenity laws).

Not every company has the same core businesses

Look at the CE Northrup-Grunmen an aircraft company but did you know that N-G bought out Newport News Shipbuilding a few years ago.

Music lessons for Grayson grunge bands, obvious franchise opportunity with billions of people there...

*cough*...

I mean, how many times has RFC told us that the Yeltsin system/Grayson is lousy with Heavy Metals?

Heavy Metal is more like groups like KISS, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Styx, etc. Grunge Rock is bands like Nirvana.

Oh. Amend quote. Music Lessons for Grayson music folks stuck in the '70s that din't learn the new terminology.

How about an Acme-Manticore Merchant Mareine College. Someplace to train people for the techical end of the merchant services
Education is big business and there are lots of colleges and universities in the Real World that make a lot money (and provide the skills needed and advertized) for the technical jobs for at least entry levels into business.
This would also provide a way to bring people from the new additions to the Empire (from Talbott and Silesia etc) the training and ongoing schooling other than on the job training.

I dunno about those folks at Acme though. Friend of mine named Wile E. back that day in the Old West... anyhow, he subscribed to Acme's "Arms, Bombs, and Devices" mail order catalog. Seems like the enemy just ran circles around him.

--rim shot, anyone?--

p.s. I do think you're absolutely right though. Lotta use for a whole passel of tech colleges run by good former RMN/RMMC officers and NCOs that aren't in uniform any more. Put a higher contingent out in Talbott space and Silesia to run the schools and also act as feeders for "pre-Mustang & NCO" candidate programs in those areas. I'd imagine that if Honor's house can have four small PD191X tactical simulators in one room, a big freighter could supply every major system with sets of them.

Maybe I'm completely unethical, but I'm really hot to get my hands on the captured SLN ships from destroyers to heavy cruisers and move them to various buyers out in the back of the universe for reasonable sums.

I mean, sure...I'd get the required End User documentation and the sales would have to be to legit governments, but how much raw BLING BLING is sitting in orbit that is of no use to Manticore when some world sitting out in the far reaches of space would like to have a few top of the line destroyers for below cost?

"Buy a light Cruiser or two Destroyers, and I throw in enough small arms to outfit your marines and national police force...Yes, powered armor is included...supplies limited to stock on hand...you want a maintenance contract...yeah, That is gonna be extra, but I'll make a phone call and we can see about sending a class to Haven Tech for 18 months for training on these guys."

How do I not make Bank with this racket?

I get a commission, the Crown gets cash and everyone is happy.
