"General, I have to wonder what you're doing here?" Brubaker had managed to get an audience with a low level corporate diplomat. It was the best he'd been able to manage since separating himself from Lorentino. Even with the sight he saw no way of going back to the empire, he would have to wait and see, hopefully a later vision would show him more clarity.
"You need an analyst I need a job."
"Yes I got that from your application, but I'm confused as to how or why you think your skill applies to what we need." Brubaker smiled, he'd seen this conversation play out so many ways, it was hard to keep track if he was actually doing it now or its another vision.
"I have the sight, its why I fled the empire and why I'm no longer a general. Your rivals feel they can see the future, I can actually do it." Brubaker had seen like in most things, honesty was the be policy dealing with this low level exec. Who was soon to become director.
"And for this you'll expect?"
"Moderate compensation, a simple analysts pay, I'm not asking for control or anything outlandish, I just need money and your company will benefit from what I can see. As it has in several visions director." The other man's smile already sealed the deal. In a month his company was making more money than it had in several years of opening, designing new research they hadn't dreamed of. And Brubaker would be comfortable.
"Sounds like we have a deal General Brubaker."
"Please just Brubaker I left being a General behind." The for now was what he said in his mind, but no need for this low level corper to know that, eventually Brubaker would need something better, but being the man behind the man had its benefits he'd seen them, also its dangers he'd seen those as well. But like most things he'd get to them in time, he had a lot of it available to him now.
