OOC: My apologies to all those who signed up for the last try, I wrote myself into a corner, and was unable to continue to my satisfaction. This time, the rp will be closed to a more select few. Sorry about that.

"Here is your reward. Three trillion United States Dollars, as promised. I don't particularly want to know what you want to do with that much money, and don't much care either."

He turned, moved the stasis field onto a mag-cart, and sent it off towards a waiting transport.

"The Arbiter has decreed that you may accompany us to witness the debriefing of the Prince, if you wish. It will begin as soon as the transport reaches the quarantine site."
