Ves and Professor Taigen talked over the comm for half an hour. Neither of the two raised their voices or said anything offensive to each other.
Instead, they conducted a polite but increasingly less productive talk on the merits of collaborating with each other.
Part of their discussion was informative. Ves revealed in greater detail how he could enhance the value of a law enforcement mech while Professor Taigen explained his side of the business from an insider's perspective.
Unfortunately, neither of them came close to forming an agreement during this time. Both of them stood on opposite ends and neither were willing to give up too much ground.
Ves maintained a tough stance throughout the negotiations because he was confident in his own value.
