+++++ Connection Requested: Source, Corporate Court.
Ma'am?
"Put them through. I'll take it here."
Yes, ma'am.
'Good morning, Ms. Velli.'
"Depends on your perspective. Cut the bulldrek and get to the point."
'As you wish. You and your corporation defied the legal mandate of the
Corporate Court. While this, in and of itself, is grounds for punative
action, your corporation's prior actions indicated that you would not
likely respond to mere veiled threats. In addition, your corporation has
a very poor reputation for keeping its word. Finally, as a second tier
megacorporation, you are not in a position to dictate policy to any of
the AAA megacorporations, nor will you be.
As the Court is aware of your position in the world economy, as well as
your global military assets and the concept of MAD, and most importantly,
the interest of various influential corporations and board members of
corporations, your corporation will not be obliterated at this time.
However, if you do not cooperate fully with all demands of the Corporate
Court, and Unlimited Mandate will be issued against Maxim Arms and all
their subsidiaries. You have 12 hours to fully comply with the original
demands stated in the original mandate as well as to recompense all
involved and greived parties for damage to facilities, personnel, and
material that has been expended in this operation.
Should you not have enough cash on hand to justly compensate all involved
parties, Maxim Arms will be issued a loan by the Corporate Court if
appropriate collateral can be provided.
Good day, Ms. Velli.
