Vault 21, New Vegas[/b][/color]

Commander Tolen had been sitting in his room passing time when he was alerted House would meet with him now. He stood up from his chair, straightened out his uniform and marched down the corridor and up a stairwell and found himself entering a meeting room, a typical Vault style administrative room, likely an old room used when this floor was used by Vault Overseers still. He took a seat at the steel table and looked up at the screen, trying to feign confidence in his offer to the picture of the finely groomed businessman on the monitor. "Mr. House, I thank you for taking your time to meet with a representative of our organization. My Commander is unable to attend himself as he's en route to the Motherbase. But I know you're a busy man, so let me get right down to brass tacks, sir. I've been instructed to request permission for Arctic Haven to occupy Searchlight Airport, under your auspices of course. The offer stands at 25% of each New Vegas based contract's value halved for you and all contracts not purchased by you in Vegas 25% of its earnings will go to you and Searchlight Airport." He considered offering the fact his boss was willing to negotiate, but he knew that was always on the table of a shrewd deal. If he let that slip, it's more likely House would try to slap them over the barrel and tell them to drop their pants just to have the base, so he thought better of it. "Furthermore, in an effort to ensure no funny business is going on, we're open to monthly inspections at times of your choosing. The base surrounding region is under your jurisdiction, but Arctic Haven will have immediate authority over any and all actions within. If you agree, we'll be pulling out of the Allied Technologies offices and moving all military activities there, in order to help allow New Vegas to appear more tourist friendly." He drank confidently from a bottle of water on the table, at least in appearance. Truth was, he knew it was a hard deal, but expected House to come up with his own terms, allowing a better chance for his people to find fairer terms.
