Rokun nodded at the robed figure once more and fell into step beside him. Glancing to the side, he noticed the work site and saw one of the workers staring up at them. Something about him twigged his instincts as someone to watch... though he couldn't say why. Turning back to Saidor, he began in a business like tone, [color=aqua]"If I am to be security chief, there is some information that I require. I will need a full layout of current security measures, equipment, any other security officers, workforce, and schedules. I will need to know what sort of threats that are posed to this site. I will also require your assurance that should any situation arise that I deem a security issue, everyone here, yourself included, will follow my orders, when I give them and to the letter. As far as pay is concerned, I will need a 500 credit retainer, and 50 credits a day, plus any expenses I feel needed, which I will give to you in an itemized list for your approval. Any questions?"[/color]

"I will see to it that you get all of that information, however I can give you a brief overview right now.  We have little in the way of actual security.  All of my employees are armed any time they are outside of the main building, and I have sixteen ancient battle droids, 12 walkers and 4 rollers, all armed, which patrol the site and the the main building, stopping anything that threatens beings and machines marked as "friendly" in its database.
The main threat here is wild animals, packs of Kath hounds, Shyrack, or the occasional Hississ, a large local reptile with the ability to camouflage itself.  We do have the occasional theft or assault, and one time a pirate ship landed and attempted to steal a shipment, but as a general rule we aren't a violent colony.
As for strict obedience to your commands when we are threatened, my people value their freedom too much to agree to such a thing, out of fear that you will abuse your power.  Even if they agreed to it, they likely wouldn't follow the agreement.  Instead, I could absolve you of any responsibility to protect those who don't obey you in the contract.  That way you would not feel obligated to protect an idiot archaeologist who decides to take on a threat that's too big for him to handle.
Lastly, the pay is not a problem.  I will set up my computer system to automatically deposit the money into your account every day, and I will deposit the retainer myself as soon as you sign the contract.  I will also look into your requests for further security equipment and officers as soon as you give me a list of what is needed."
