“Errr...yes, you raise a good point.” Tesuto would agree. “I am assuming you, as one with a cleaning company, have a solution to that problem?”

"More like a proposal," he admitted with open hands, "Billhook Cleaners isn't much of anything right now. A small and dedicated place for sure, but it's not really a full-blown company like most of the private military companies you have here. Now, if the Dojo were to fund me so that I can get proper resources... than you wouldn't have to worry about any repairs in Dojoville, even with the daily chaos."
-
“Let us talk numbers then. How much are you thinking?” The samurai asked.
-
He thought for a moment. "Well that depends. How often does the Dojo get damaged in fights, invasions, and all that? How much property is damaged? How much general [i]infrastructure[/i] is damaged? What about utilities - power lines, hydro pipes, all that - what happens when they're damaged?" It seems that Mason had done his homework well before the meeting. "The numbers aren't clear right now, but as you can tell, they'd be sizeable. But the bonus would be none of you would have to worry about picking up bodies or scrubbing blood after doing what you all do best."
-
“We have made enough money off of patents, taxes and fee’s to likely be able to pay the cost.” Tesuto would say. “Considering most of this money is used for repairs anyways, I see no reason I’m not bringing your company on to assist.”
-
"Not only that," he continued, "but we would act as a complete third party. Consider Rubicon, the Trayvens and every other faction loyal to themselves. You can rely on us to clean up any mess made by any of those -" [i]Bloodthirsty egotistical maniacs[/i] "- folk," he said through lightly gritted teeth, "without being under the threat of getting shot or cut down. Instead of risking your own, have us clean up the next duel's aftermath with our own drones. An arena destroyed by two gods over a bet? No need to worry, we'll have it repaired for the next duel."
-
“Yes....well I would like a quote first however. I am interested but I need details.”
-
"What do you mean by quote? Like an official statement or papers? Because I have the papers and everything all ready."
-
[i]Oh dear.[/i] Tesuto thought to himself. “A quote as in, an idea of how much it would cost exactly. All you have said is it will cost quite a bit. I need an exact number before I pay anything.”
-
He cocked his head. "I thought I was being transparent earlier. It's nigh impossible to get an accurate number with all the daily going-ons. Fights, occasional invasions and such." Mason raised his forearm and tapped a few times on the face of his wristwatch. A holographic interface appeared before him, holding up statistics and inquiries. "Let's see here. Altogether, American cleaning companies on Earth in 2015 had business revenues reaching up to $51 billion. So let's start at a flat fee of half that price for cleaning. Then if you feel that you want more of what I'm offering, give the other half of the price. From there, it'll just be fees proportionate to our work's prices."
-
Tesuto would look at the man for a moment. Past his steel helm no emotion could be picked up by mason. Then, he would receive a nod. “Indeed. I can accept this deal. I will get in contact with our accountants and we will figure it all out with you.” Tesuto stated, offering Mason his hand.
-
He nodded in response to the armoured robot. "All money will fund the production of automated labor and acquisition of supplies. From there, we'll also be investing in specialized equipment for any current buildings that need repairs." Mason took Tesuto's hand and shook it, smiling to seal the deal. "The Dojo's gonna be a lot cleaner from here on out," he stated, "no more bodies in the streets for the crows to peck at in the morning. No more bars burnt down from a brawl out of control. Here's to the civilized era, Tesuto."

“Indeed. Thank you for the time, Mason.” [spoiler]end?[/spoiler]
