Ulyendra 'Ulie' Martin is odd looking at first glance. On the second and third glances too. She is a short, pudgy woman. Her frizzy brownish hair is done up in a tight bun. Thick framed computing glasses which are almost comically large sit perched up on a nose that doesn't look big enough to support their weight. Her lips protrude just a touch too far like she has been pouting for so long she can no longer stop doing so.
Her business jacket is too large for her. As she pulls out her hand comm to send you her e-business card, you can see only the tips of her fingers stick out from the cuff. She looks like a surly teen playing dress up in her mommy's business suit.
Her business card seems legit. Ulyendra Martin, Production Manager Black Sun Entertainment
She pushes her glasses up onto the bridge of her nose. You can see the glasses have captured an image of you. It's probably processing for your available background info while she talks to you. Lots of people who wear these kinds of computer glasses will do that: take snaps of the people they meet and run background checks on them during the conversation. But most people wear their glasses in sun visor mode. Black so you can't see what's going on. Ulie either isn't aware you know she is doing this or she doesn't care if you do know.
"The contract is straight forward. I have myself, three actors, two androids, and four crew who need transport to Noctol. We'll be on location for at least three days, maybe upwards of a week. After that we will need a lift to the Black Sun studio located on Collace.
"Most of the organics can go in lowberth. But I will need high berth for myself and one of my actresses. I will need to do business while in transport and my actress has Rujohn's Syndrome. So she can't go into cryo. We'll need about a half ton of cargo room for our equipment.
"I will expect you to provide security both in transit and for the shoot on Noctol. There shouldn't be any concerns. But sometimes we get paparazzo or overly ardent fans who want to cling along.
"Time is a consideration. We need to be on Collace with the filmed segments within two standard months time. I would prefer earlier than that. But I understand we won't be your exclusive customer. So I am willing to allow that long.
"Let's go ahead and get everything out on the table," She pushes the glasses back up on the bridge of her nose. "I'm in a bind. You probably figured that out. At the same time, you aren't exactly one of the better known charters. And I doubt you have a full security team on call.
"Black Sun is a client worth getting into good graces. We pay over and above passenger rates. We use a lot of independent contractors and charters. And we are all over the Marches.
"All that is to say, I'm willing to pay. But I'm not going to be taken advantage of. What's your estimate for the contract?"
Not sure who is meeting with Ulie so I left it open ended. Let me know if there are questions. Thanks
