(Christopher St. Claire, Astaron's Office, Anastor)

Chris bowed to the man as humbly as he could. "Ahh Master Astaron, a pleasure to meet you. I am Christopher St. Claire," he gestured to his seven foot brother/bodyguard, "this is my brother Malcolm, and our associate Mr. Nobbs." He patted Nobbs on the back in a friendly manner.

"In my home town I'm an engineer of some repute but have recently taken to wandering. Nobbs here lives within this fine city and has designed a marvelous machine. An instant likeness machine he calls it, alas, he has neither money, space, or the ability to assemble it, and while I have space for basic assembly and money for parts, I do not have the machines needed to make the parts it will need."

"This is where you come in, we'd like to do business with you, and while Nobbs obviously has control over to include you in our business venture, I was thinking I might be able to pay you for the use of your workshop and machines. Perhaps we could come in and discuss our business in more comfortable surroundings?"
