OOC: I did not want to intrude on your other thread and mess it up. So I started another one.

IC: After Zerbo met with Norby he shook his head in disbelief that he did not recognize the famed The Golden Klaxut Market from home. Has he been away from home that long? Well since he can never go back home, at least a little bit of home came to him. His driver stopped the car and got out to open the door for Zerbo and he admired the outside. Smiling’ “Almost like the one from home with a few updated touches.” He thanked his driver and walked into the shop. Looking around at all of the impressive items. He would be spending some latinum today and ordering some custom furniture as well. He didn’t go to the service desk, just kept looking with his coat and hat still on.

Zerbo, Finance Minsiter

Ditka Starrrr sat behind the service desk intently typing on a PaDD, deep in correspondence with an Andorian metalsmith who was, of course, pissed off about something , though he wouldn’t say what it was.

She had a stylus pushed through her bun, and pulled it out to chew on its rubbery nib and not her fingernails, which she was trying to grow back out after the recent fiasco with Hinky, and who knows where he was.

An electronic done beeped.

Crap she thought. Someone had walked by the desk and into the ship before she could grab them and do her Director of Guest Relations spiel.

She walked to the main floor to see a wealthy-looking Ferengi man–a DaiMon, she thought–looking around.

“Excuse me! Sir! Can I help you, or at least take your hat and coat?” she called.

-Ditka Starrrr

Zerbo turned to see her. “Yes. You may take my hat and coat, but leave me the cane.” He turned and put his arms out to allow her to take his coat off.

Ditka rushed to take the guest’s coat and hat and placed them carefully on the rack near the front entrance of the shop.

“Welcome to the Golden Klaxut Market, the flagship location of the Klaxut Market chain,” she said. “I am Ditka, the Director of Guest Relations and VIP Attaché. How can I help you today?”

“I am here to buy furniture and merchandise for my office and Galactic Trading Tower. I am the Colonial Finance Minister and DaiMon Ress, First Assistant to the Grand Nagus himself, Zerbo.”

Zerbo, Colonial Finance Minister

Finally a VIP Ditka thought. Her first several customers had been more causal guests who’d walked through the small shelves of goods and holographic display rooms, but the real star of the Golden Klaxut Market was its holographic warehouse.

Ditka ushered the Ferengi gentleman into the VIP reception area.

The reception had several screens in frames and a PADD for VIP guests to peruse through the wide selection of offerings in almost a dizzying variety of combinations from manufacturers across the galaxy.

She let Zerbo to a squat chair covered in a rich chartreuse velvet.

“Just give me an impression of the items you would like, and we can pull a direct interactable holographic representation of the exact item for you on this holographic platform,” she explained. “Once you decide on an item, we teleport it from the warehouse to you.”

-Ditka Starrrr

Zerbo looks at a wide array of items. “For myself, I want a Ferengi hooka den completely recreated in my office. Norby has been there and there is plenty of room. We will say a 20mx20m room. Do not spare anything and price is no object. Everything will need to be Ferengi sized of course but I will need two tables and four chairs that are regular federation standard size. Norby has my account. Now for the Galaxy Trade Tower itself, I want Ferengi paintings on the walls. 20 per floor and 20 down the hallways. I want tables, chairs, vases, the whole works, all made by Ferengi. I will need that to fill about 250 conference rooms, 1000 hallways, and 5,000 offices. I will trust you and Norbys judgement. All of these will need to be standard Federation size. Can do an order like that?”

Zerbo, Colonial Finance Minister

“Absolutely, Minister,” Ditka said, entering the information into a PADD. “We will have to activate our entire fleet of transportation ships.”

She put on her brightest smile and sat on the corner of the table. Normally, Mr. Norb’s son Zrack managed the corporate accounts, but he was tied up on business in Ferenghar, so this was her chance.

“I will work with you as a project manager on your account with Mr. Norb’s help,” she said to Zerbo. “Let’s plan a date when we can teleport everything in place.”

She flipped her PADD to him. It illuminated on the screens around them. “As for your hookah lounge, as Guest Relations Manager, bespoke requests are a part of my regular duties. Here are a couple examples of clients with past work.”

She showed two images of previous Ferengi style lounges on the screens:

OOC: The first link does not work.

“That would be very helpful Miss Starrrr. I would like to have everything in one month, but I know things take time, so you can create the date of shipment to the Galaxy Trade Tower. I would also like to purchase interior decorators and movers for all of this as well. I need people or beings to put it all in place and install everything. Just tell me how much everything is, and I will forward the latnium to you all plus a bonus when everything gets installed. So what else do you have as far as hooka lounges? I like these but am not impressed by them. They can be hooka lounges from anywhere just as long as it has a Ferengi flair to it and I can sit down comfortably.”

OOC: When things “arrive”, just make a new post and message me on Discord and I will respond.

Ditka started sweating a little but was excited for the challenge that this order had to offer.

“We should have our full team in office well by that timeline, sir,” Ditka said, typing at her PADD. “I will be in touch with the Trade Towers to coordinate our entire delivery and setup strategy. We will be stretching the network, but not breaking it.”

I deal in trade as well and have many freighters. If you need any, just say so, I will not charge for them, just the fuel and crew pay. That will be cheaper than renting one.”

“I appreciate your offer, sir,” Ditka said. “But that shouldn’t be necessary. The Golden Klaxut difference means taking some of the stress of logistics off of your busy hands. Now, onto the lounge…”

She cleared the old hookah lounge images off the screen.

“As for lounges, we do have a lot of different possibilities for where we can go. Let me show you a mockup I just generated based on your feedback. This has more of an Old World feel.”

An image appeared on the screen

Now he smiled.

“But we also have options that look more at home on a ship or base.”

A second image appeared on the screen.

He frowned at the last one. Pointing at Image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gALCLTLeDBpkcnspPBOjqVFoDLjdjqy4/view. I want that one, with the Galaxy Trade Tower Logo on the wall and a bit plushier seats, But that one right there. Thank you. This has been a good day for business.”

Zerbo

“Perfect, sir,” Ditka said. “We can have a contractor from the Golden Klaxut team begin work and complete your project in a shorter time frame than the rest of the ordering. I’ll send your team the appropriate information.”

She swept her hair from her forehead with one manicured hard, sliding the PADD to Zerbo. “Does this information look accurate?”

-Ditka Starrrr

OOC: After we wrap up here, I can make an installation thread!

OOC: Sounds great to me!

“Yes. All of it looks good to me and the information is accurate. I appreciate your business and professionalism. I will make sure to tell Norby about how well you were today. What else needs to be done my lady?”

Zerbo
