Parker and Jonah stared at each other for a long moment. “So, I’m here to negotiate for CommBloc 80120’s spot in the GURD marketplace,” Parker said.

Jonah nodded, this was not news to him. “Yes, was there something specific you wanted, other than the usual place at the markets?” Places at the markets were automatic, barring a CommBloc having annoyed the vast majority of the other CommBlocs. If they weren’t no one would be able to get the supplies they needed.

“Yes, actually,” Parker said. “We were wanting to host the post-Equinox market.”
