"Indeed." Andrea says, giving the Director a polite smile. "Quite unbelievable. Although the affairs of the other heads of Lhotse's departments shouldn't be of much concern to you, Angus. I'm everyone has their own vices. So, glass houses, stones. Yes?"

She takes in a breath, as if to stopper off the rest of that conversation and being a new one. Specifically one that she was intent on leading with what exactly his side of the MegaCorp had been doing under the leadership of her predecessor.

"I was wondering what you have been asked to do since your last visit to this office?" She asks in a manner that leaves plenty of room for him to continue. "I'm sure the old Chief of Operations had you close at hand, hmm? Money makes the world go round, after all. So I was just wondering as to the nature of your own designs, especially with the corporate conflict that the Admiral is currently spearheading. Do you think we could capitalise on the economic trends that the 'war' will create? I'd be willing to grant you up to ten MacroCredits, to that end. Ideally, you'd be able to get returns tenfold of what I give. But you'd have to make your case for them, Angus. Let me know exactly what you'd plan to do with the funds and how, you know?"

This was a conversation she'd been looking forward to. It didn't take a genius to see that buying shares in weapons manufactories and other military assets was a good choice, but in addition to that, Andrea was hoping that Director Angus would actually be able to justify his position as head of Economics and present an idea to her that even she hadn't thought of in order to make some revenue from the Polygon conflict. Especially if the money came in hand over fist.
