Elion's biggest demand was his wish to be granted even more autonomy than the special contract had already granted him, but that did not seem to surprise Marilyn.
If anything, what surprised her more was his decision to completely pass on the outfitting benefits the Alliance was willing to provide.
"You do not want equipment support?" Marilyn asked.
"I do not need it," Elion said plainly.
Marilyn studied him for a moment. She was genuinely shocked. Who in their right mind would choose to simply pass up on such an offer, but she just ended up simply nodding in understanding.
If he could say that so confidently, then he most likely already possessed equipment far better than anything the Triad Alliance could provide. Considering everything she had seen and heard about him so far, that was not hard to believe.
"In that case, we can remove that clause and adjust the compensation elsewhere," she said.
Elion nodded, "That would be better."
