The aftermath of the militia trials had been a royal headache for everyone at HPS. Accusing Myconetics of cheating on their home turf was a bold move, but when the foul play was so brazen and the stakes so high you just couldn’t let it go. You meet with Shin-Claih and Jack for the latest updates on the case.
“We are almost guaranteed to win the case. The <span class="mu-s">test captain’s closing gambit made it so that anyone watching would have to be willfully blind</span> to deny that nothing untoward had occurred.”
“Good, does that mean the contract will be ours?”
“Not necessarily. The decision to award the contract based on the match results was not legally binding. Militia procurement could select Myconetics without needing to give any reason. However, if they do so in the face of such overwhelming proof of our victory they will all but admit they are both corrupt and stupid.”
You allowed yourself a satisfied smile. Barefaced favouritism was not unknown to you, but it still needed plausible deniability no matter how flimsy. You assumed it was the same in Car’cass as it was back in the Empire.
“There is a problem though. The wheels of bureaucracy still need to turn before the courts recognise the legitimacy of our claims. Until they do, we will be losing money due to legal fees, and we are running low on money.”
