[ Aventurine would swear up and down it's just a title as he's not here representing his department specifically at this time, but that would come with a hefty silent yet hanging threateningly overhead. If he could read the minds of these people in the room, he'd be glad to know at least someone here has some kind of survival instinct enough to be taking such notes, already.
Aventurine smiles at Arthur's question giving his head a light shake. ]
No, nothing so incredible a task, I assure you!
The IPC already gains plenty by you becoming a member of the Free Trade alliance with our assistance, although I won't lie and say that we aren't very interested in having a priority trade agreement on one of your resources.
It's come to our attention that this planet has a very unique one, one that provides incredible opportunity to push the planet into the future of trade between the stars at an even more accelerated pace than we had initially calculated. [ Which originally might as well have been zero, but they don't really need to know that. ] I have been informed this resource is not a staple for the majority people of this world, either, which makes it even more significant as a valuable, if true.
Of course, the IPC would need you and your council to verify such a claim. [ opening his hand, he reveals a single mana stone, one that had been taken back to the IPC for analysis. ] I admit we are in the dark concerning them as a whole, but that's also why I'm here. I need to better understand this item and its use in your world. Is it a free resource with ample supply, for example, and does it truly provide little value to those that are not considered "witches" or "wizards?" Our priority is to make this planet and its people wealthier and more secure on all fronts, not deplete an actual critical resource due to any misunderstandings.
Unfortunately, the witches and wizards we attempted to gain knowledge from initially were quite unhelpful, so forgive me for coming into this matter with such ignorance.
