"...So an unknown individual wishes to obtain a copy of an extraordinarily powerful weapon so that he can commit unknown atrocities with such a tool, while likely paying me an absurdly large sum of cash for the retrieval of such a tool.
Look for a trader, preferably one originating from the Imperium of Mankind. No one here should have such capabilities to obtain something like this."
[i]Victoria stared upon the smuggler with a certain disdain, even as her face was hidden by her black helm, before sighing.[/i]
"...The weapon in question is referred to as a power weapon, which generates a field of energy that splits molecules in half, thus severing practically anything, other than another power weapon. I doubt that you would be able to obtain one yourself.. but it's a miracle that everyone here doesn't have one already. What would be in it for me?"

"Well that depends, sweet heart. I got cash, resources, or if you need it, man power in the form of myself." The man seemed more thin curious when she explained the sword. At least then pirates would be easier to deal with.
-
"...How much can you pay me for this? The sword itself will cost incredible on it's own, so I'll need payment for that as well."
-
"Name a price." The man grinned. He had contacts everywhere, and a few who owe him money.
-
"A.. price. You want me to be honest with your price? Ten million."
-
"Done. Easy and simple. Give me a day and I can get the money together."

[i]...Surprise was an understatement.[/i] "I'll require the sword by then. Likely from the blacksmiths.." [i]Victoria only trusted Cody to uplift his end of the bargain, really. She could get a.. finer home, for herself and Vance, with that.[/i]

The man nodded. "Just contact me when its all done."
-
[i]With that, Cody would receive a nod, before the Sororitas simply left.[/i] [i]She had.. three options. The first was employing the services of the Dojo's engineers and smiths, of which would demand ludicrous prices. The second was search for an Imperium trader, of which she knew of none. The third, was..[/i] "Ms. Raidriar." -------------------------------- [i]The next day, Victoria was simply waiting in the same courtyard. Now, with two power swords: her gladius, and what may have been a simple longsword, albeit double-edged.[/i]
-
After a few hours Cody showed again, along with a dufflebag full of something. The man was eager to see what she had gotten, and even more ecstatic to have a weapon like what he was about to see.
-
[i]As Cody approached the silent, yet armored figurine of Victoria, the Sororitas would look up at him, brandishing the deactivated power sword that was, supposedly, his for the taking. She stood up, her gladius Fury sheathed at her waist, whilst presenting the blade to the smuggler.[/i] "The weapon," [i]She introduced the sword, whilst she would find herself studying Cody underneath that helmet. She expected a trap, a trick, or a lie. She had the equipment and the efficiency to counter him, she supposed.[/i]
-
Cody knew not to mess with the woman, and even then he had enough people out to kill him. Once he stood near her, he pulled the bag from his shoulder, dropping it at her feet. He spoke then. "The money, 10 million units as you wanted."
-
[i]Taking up the bag (or at least, bringing it to her side), Victoria held out the fine weapon, it's adamantium edge sharp and efficient. It was.. the real deal, to say the very least.[/i]
