Well, you've heard of this man, Denz. He is tall- very tall- and elderly, with a fine white beard. He dresses elegantly in dark clothing, including a long cloakm and has piercing, searching eyes. he also carries a curved lightsabre at his waist and, until a few years ago, he was a a very senior Jedi.
He strolls across the area with just about everyone looking at him as if he owns the place.
"My, what an umnpleasant place!" says Count Dooku. "I do not even you miners. I rather think they deserve a fair deal, Jedi, don;t you agree?"
Your original negotiating room will do!
Gern objects but he cannot prevent Dooku simply speaking, and back underground he lays out his deal.
The total money he is offeing is less, but his summary gives you a very clear breakdown of where that money is going, with all of it definitely staying within Altamiria. The mining equipment he offers would be for thwe Altamirans to own themselves.
"I have some... associates who can offer the needed technology," he says. "Indeed, they would welcome the chance to protoype their new neuronic shielding, which may be able to counter the effect this place has on artificial intelligence."
As a gesture of goodwill, and because he feels responsible, Dooku also offers to reimburse the Republic for the damage done to their equipment by the miners.
How the miners are dealt with he leaves entirely to the local authorities- though he is sure the Jedi will have an opinion on the matter.
"I can understand your desire to protect your "buisness", but why keep such a large number of men on a planet where you can't make any use of anything? You can't build anything until the Houn leave, and under this agreement, you can't forciflly evict them, so tell me...Why leave such a large force behind?"
Sorry if I've asked stuff that's already been covered, been working alot lately and haven't had a chance to fully read through everything, only skim.

do you mean that Dooku's money is less than the TOTAL amount Gern offered or do you mean that Dooku's money is less than the amount Gern is actually giving to the planet? ('cause half of it is going back to his homeplanet)
Less than the total amount. So probably more is actuially getting to the planet (actually a Constellation of planets).

"Because we anticipate a point where our legal problems will have been resolved and I want to be in psotion to protect our investment from interference until that time. Asking me to move those forces off-world is too far."

(about to go out now, so I hope Denz will be on soon to carry on)
