Taming The Monster He had cursed himself. He had drugged his lover and now endeavoured to sort out the mess he had created. Had he really considered the matter honestly? Damn Quatre for making such a convoluted mess of the command structure of Winner Enterprises. He should have been able to pick up a receiver, dial a number and inform the recipient of the call that he was Johnny on the spot. Nothing was ever that simple when Quatre was involved. And that secretary! There was no doubt who drove the wind of rumour about Winner Enterprises in New Port City. The woman's mouth was relentless and her imagination limitless. It would be an unmitigated disaster if she started spreading rumours Quatre was in private talks with the palace. Neither Winner Enterprises nor the palace needed rumours of clandestine deals and back scratching on an interplanetary scale. Milliardo, as Zechs Marquise, had provided designs for multiple Winner projects before becoming King, and those designs had proven inventive and advantageous to the projects they were designed for. Quatre had bemoaned the loss of the man's skills for designing high energy components for the Mars project more than once. When you were King you did not have the time, or the energy, to work on blueprints. By putting Milliardo Peacecraft on the throne Quatre had taken out one of the top designers in an exclusive field. High energy engineering was a demanding field and, to be honest, Trowa had been astonished when he had viewed the first of Marquise's designs to cross Quatre's desk. They had not initially known who the architect was until Quatre settled on the design. Marquise had a patent pending on all of his designs and the man did not lack for business acumen. Quatre had been moaning about the apparently jinxed Mars project; they had been having trouble maintaining the power levels to support the new Winner Dome. Constructing the new support dome had been a hard fought contract to win, and having succeeded they needed to maintain progress. Peacecraft's design had solved their problems and the solution had been surprisingly simple. //His time on Mars gave him the advantage, and those mobile suits he designed make construction and maintenance a lot easier. I suppose he would have been happier remaining as Zechs. I'm still not sure Quatre was right to meddle in the restoration. // But done was done, Quatre had meddled and it was just the way Quatre was. He had tied Winner Enterprises up so much that he literally was indispensible to its smooth functioning, and it was time for Trowa to pull apart the elaborate Celtic knot he had crafted. When Quatre woke the monster that was Winner Enterprises had to be running smoothly and if that meant Trowa had no sleep and neither did half the company executives, then so be it. Quatre needed to see that other people were capable and that he could have a life other than being `The Winner'. ~ * ~ |
