Bargaining for Goods
"It's far to costly for us to build on our planet, and we don't have the right plants and other materials here either. As from what we've heard about the synthetics you can produce we would really like to develop a long term plan with you. We don't make much of our own, so surgery anesthetics are costly." This was Vento, a Malichi Vento apparently and his wife was Ariel. They had been talking for a while. Gilhime seemed ready to just make a deal with them for the items he needed, but wasn't sure about timing.
"Are you able to produce any anesthetics? Ones that could be used for minor surgery with less time or localized treatments?" Ariel asked.
