We are currently engaged in a heated negotiation with the asteroid, Xarxos-IV, over the ownership of a valuable cache of rare space-gemstones. The asteroid's representative, a gruff but charismatic rock, is demanding a 300% increase in trade credits for its participation in our intergalactic market.
Our negotiating team is led by the esteemed Ambassador Zorvath, a skilled diplomat with a reputation for getting what she wants.
We will reconvene in 3.4 hours for further discussion. In the meantime, we're open to receiving any additional information or proposals from the asteroid's team.
