Xiaoxu had rented a much nicer model than their normal vehicle for this occasion, one that would fit right in with the rest of the high end luxury vehicles. It wouldn’t turn heads, but it would save him from the embarrassment of showing up in a merely mid-range luxury vehicle, and made him hope for the future when he could actually buy a top-of-the-line model outright. He was checking over his appearance in the mirror, combing hair and applying product to every little fault; Zhen was satisfied with a short self-examination. What she had her attention on were her notes. Kaye Xuoshi: Rising Star. Most opinions unknown, company has proved supportive of RSF. Noted to be an adept strategist, suspect that they don’t want to be too tied into any existing power block and are trying to remain flexible and cultivate many options. Outside of political aspects, Xuoshi can provide useful technology; their donations have funded many useful R&D endeavors. Kaye is often busy with company business; rumors say she is less technical than her youngest sibling. I will need to know where she stands, and if her previous commitments to the regime are still credible. Her brother Reman is still missing after the accident at the Synergy storage facility. Note: Too soon to propose this formally, but if he is deceased this could be an opportunity to establish a new fund in his name; previous experience shows that Ultra High Net Worth Individuals frequently devote large charitable sums in the name of their deceased relatives during the grieving process, the Foundation would be happy to assist in memorializing him. Lani Butakha: I see no evidence she cares about anything aside from Stickball, nor do I believe she holds any influence in areas removed from Stickball. Previous interaction was unpleasant; when one of the Varricks (who evidently was a dedicated Stickball fan) suggested the Foundation use some of his considerable donation to sponsor the Wolfbats, I explored the idea, but it proved to be an exceptionally poor value per impression for the price she demanded, and she refused to entertain any charitable discount. I had to personally apologize to the donor after this, convincing him to accept a series of TV ads during Stickball matches in place of the sponsorship after much work. Lowest priority at the table aside from Tamura. Taiichi Sato: Lived a wild and fast life as a young man, but settled down in his late 20s, now in his forties and deals with day to day operations of Future Industries. Well-liked by most who have met him, runs things safely and efficiently, has a history of dealing with labor disputes without violence. Apparently enjoys scientific subjects and treats running operations like it’s an optimization problem, but the internal arrangement of the Sato family prevents him from having a say strategic and technological decisions.He is descended from Korra’s branch of the family line, as is customary in the family they aren’t given roles related to R&D, or strategic planning, the latter being reserved exclusively for those from descended from Asami and Korra’s adopted child. Does [b]not [/b]like to talk about his heritage, especially hates discussions of Korra’s character and how harmonious her marriage to Asami was. Understandably touchy about politics and hasn’t revealed his positions, but with his father aging he will soon find himself occupying a stronger position inside the family. Worth at least probing his opinions even if he can’t be swayed. Vyska Moon: The greatest opportunity at this table. Only twenty and one year away from inheriting the largest corporation in the entire Republic; she is already managing much of its affairs. Publicly supports our goals, but seems to have a curious streak inside her; it has never been confirmed but some sources suspect the Moon family has been accumulating a collection of ancient Bender manuscripts, and they may even possess texts missing from our archives. This one is of great interest. Tamura: Possibly An? Unknown why she would be at this. My husband knows more but even he would be puzzled to explain what she is doing here. I doubt she is sympathetic to our cause; it doesn’t matter because she is utterly irrelevant in the overall scheme of things. [/color][/quote] [/cell][/row][/table][/sub][/color]
