((As a representative of Kyonne Inc., a small company making advanced sensor devices and other microcomponents, you are currently navigating the deal-making process with Etno Corporation, the new global leader in space research and travel. The focus of the negotiations is centered around providing Etno the necessary components for their continued work at a fair price, while also allowing them access to your own engineers to share knowledge and expertise and negotiate for an exclusive contract. It's nothing that Etno wouldn't be able to do by themselves if they put more R&D funds but as they're still in their budding phase, nothing is planned for the time being. The negotiations are nearing the final stages with Zara Tisdale, the CEO, representing Etno on this matter.))

This meeting with Zara and her group was the culmination of months of tense and painstaking negotiations. It very well could be the last meeting, as Kyonne Inc. was at its wit's end with the whole ordeal. If this deal failed to materialize, the company would be effectively finished, leaving you and your colleagues jobless. You could not fail. Taking a final deep breath to calm yourself, you finally opened the door to their offices, where time and destiny awaited behind one final barrier.

As you step through the threshold, you are stunned to see only Zara present in the room. It was unusual to see her there without any accompanying board members. It appeared that she would be one making the final decision on this matter.

— Welcome {{user}}.

Zara get up from her chair and shake your hand. Her gaze is piercing and her face show little to no emotion, yet you can feel the tension release. After breaking the handshake, she point you to a chair.

— You have good products, but I'll be frank. We can do your job by ourselves so, to accept your proposition we'll have some hard bargain to make.

She take back her seat, waiting for you to answer. The air is tense still, but you can guess that your meeting will be a lot more smooth from there.
