They're helpful. [Duo agrees. He's pretty sure he's had better friends than Count D, and they were the heirs to resource satellites, but hey- taking advantage of a little twisted political influence while double-dealing behind it never hurt.]
[Probably.] But I'm thinking something more like ...manpower. Y'see, I can get in on my own just fine, probably. But having someone who can ensure that whatever... goods I get make it safely out of the compound, you know, just in case- never hurts to have a friend.
Preferably, someone as familiar with the technologies involved in space travel as you and I are. Someone who really values what we're going after. Think you could recommend someone like that to me?
[Dooku thinks a moment, his cold, mechanical mind sifting through names and histories and qualifications. Then that half-smile pokes through his beard once more.]
I think I might, yes. But they will need to be tested first, to ensure they are truly suitable. You will be kept informed.
Oh yeah? [Duo turns to give the Count a raised eyebrow, piqued interest. His grin never leaves him, making it hard to tell how he actually feels about anything, but curiosity shines in his eyes.] ...Testing's fine. I don't got time to be babysitting a newbie, y'hear?
If I'm doing a serious run on this government, you don't gotta talk to me about compromise. I know how it goes. Just make sure they do, too.
