Oh, and keep a keen eye on the poor fool's ship: the Orion female may get ideas involving the creation of an empire or our deaths.
It's good to be a Cylon.
I think the chances of that are pretty low, seeing as how we all have a ship full of droids loyal to us. Still, you bring up a good point.
After the Orions are in full party swing with us, I'm down with some Ferengi oo-mox. There's profit to be made and once the HFT is in a position to make a legitimate buyout, we'll make a bid for their assets and other holdings and complete the deal with a contract legally and in Ferengi tradition. I'm sure our new employees would be eager to play with our green colleagues too. Not sure if the feelings would be mutual, but there's great money to be made. As long as they don't fuck us over in Ferengi tradition.
There's more money potential in the Ferengi than anything else we're looking at. Now if we don't get into it, somebody else will. Maybe one of the other alliances, maybe all of them. Now with the money they earn, they can buy more planets and political power; then they come after us. Now we have the Orions, and they're the best thing to have. But the Ferengi are the thing of the future. An' if we don't get a piece of that action, we risk everything we have -- I mean not now, but ten years from now.
