Yakone had heard of the president of Earth being a Saiyan just like himself and grew a grin due to the thought of meeting someone who was leader of this planet. He was quick to look up a moogle search and lord and behold, he found the presidents laboratory and on top of that, a picture of how he looks like. The president was quite famous alright and only a fool wouldn't know who the president of Earth truly was.
He would go through the legal ways to meet the man, through appointment of course at his Laboratory. However, he had to play a part if he was going to convince the president himself to work for Yakone. He wore his trusty lab coat that he bought off online, along with fake glasses with the white tape at the center of it, a bandage just over his nose to play the part a little bit. Messing up his hair immensely to look more like the part and wearing cargo black pants with a belt to seal the deal. He would make his arrival thirty minutes early like all appointments are schedule, he headed straight to the place and waited in the waiting room for Carro. He spoke with the receptionist and waited. He brought a brief case with the serum that helped gained him his strength, however it was such a low quantity of it that it wouldn't do anyone any justice if they were to use it. However, he wanted to bring it in order to show that he was a scientist just like Carro was.
He twiddle his thumbs in the waiting room and placed his false name in the system as "Cranberry."
He was quite nervous internally about the whole ordeal, but he was confident on the outside and hugged his brief case tightly.

ONE SAIYAN TO ANOTHERCARRO's PL: 100
For once, someone finally had the decency to make a proper appointment with the President of Earth! If he wasn't running solely on sheer willpower and too much coffee, Carro might have shed a tear of joy- any day when a customer was giving a time and date instead of breaking through his window was a good day... Though this appointment didn't list many specifics about the context and motive for the meeting. But progress was progress! Carro filed away the last of his papers for his shift, turning to head down the halls to meet his client.
The Crop Co. headquarters was bustling. Shops were in one sector, intensive research in another, public training regimes- the sprawling complex had nearly everything. Some employees were escorting around customers and selling them their products while others whizzed about with all sorts of gadgets on their own schedules, but the chaos had an odd sense of order to it. Machinery buzzed and whirred around every corner as androids patrolled the halls- some the size of a hand while other were thrice as tall as a man. Weaving between the legs of a towering bipedal drone was the three-foot, baggy-eyed leader of Earth himself in all of his scrawny glory.
Carro arrived on the dime- not a second after the scheduled time. "Hey, you're the one with the appointment, right? You're uh..." Carro glanced down to his clipboard with the information submitted by the man. "Cranberry?" He tilted his head. Weird name, but he'd heard weirder. "I'm Carro- Company CEO, President Hofferson, y'know the drill. The meeting rooms are this way- we'll have space in there. Just watch your step- don't wanna bump into anyone." He gestured back down a nearby hall, much less populated than the rest. Hopefully with "Cranberry" in tow, Carro would make his way down the hall.
"Anyways, erm... You left the reasoning for this appointment rather vague in your message." Only recently had he had an unruly encounter with that demonic human- Dojiro. He seemed nice at first, but the kid was a versed actor. If he'd learned one thing from the episode, then it was that he had to be careful with who he trusted- and that would be a lesson he'd put into effect if he had to. "Mind enlightening me as to what it is you'd like from this meeting?" A little part of him half-expected it to be some murder trap with the luck he had as of late. But he was surely overthinking things. First things first, he had to be polite.

His internal thoughts were racing and as the president was arriving, he thought maybe this saiyan was macho in size and in strength, but he stared at the short saiyan with orange hair with a blank stare at first. He'd greet him with a high five and a nerdy smile. He'd even went so far as to change his voice to that of a nerd.
"Hi, yes that's me alright! Its a pleasure to meet you Mr Carro, I mean Dr Carro, I mean president Carro. Oh jeez. I'm sorry. I'm a bit nervous."
He'd awkwardly touch the back of his head and close his eyes showing a cheesy smile.
"I.. I just never thought I would finally meet the man who is famous for his Robotic lion!"
He'd follow suit right behind Carro, doing an awkward walk like he needed to use the bathroom but really he didn't. Then came the statement as to why he forgot to leave a message. He'd scratch his head and walking side by side with him.
"Well, I wanted to show you my cool research that I have been working on! It's suppose to make those who are weak. Like the senior citizens of Central City, have more energy and become stronger than they were before."
He could also feel the presence of Carro's current Power level and from the looks of it, his power level was that of Yakone's a few weeks back.
"I was wondering Carro, if you would like to be business partners and work on saving the world from diseases as well."

Glasses, coat, messy hair, now this voice and demeanor- the whole act felt strikingly sterotypical to Carro. It was like the guy was a character from some kids movie come to life! The President raised a brow, but kept his thoughts silent. "Oh, uh, don't worry about it. Just Carro's fine." He responded back to the man's apparent nervousnessrooms. "And well, you did schedule an appointment specifically with me, so here I am.... And a-are you alright?" Carro's voice turned to a quiet mutter at the tail-end of his words. The guy was walking weird- did he have some kind of condition or needed to use the bathroom, or...? Still, he'd it off shrug as he opened the door to one of the company meeting departments. It was a fairly small room with a spotless glass table in the center, complete with a few office chairs around it. Cabinets pressed against the wall were full of papers and files with technical gibberish scribbled upon them. Jars of pencils and half-depleted pens laid beside, along with the occasional cardboard box of mechanical components and blueprints.
Carro slid into his own chair as the man explained his purpose for the meeting, furrowing his brows. "Hm... I see." Crop Co. strongly prioritized helping the lives of average citizens, along with supporting the warriors on Earth's front lines. "Don't get me wrong, I'm all for helping people, but this is a tech company and not a medical company. We won't be much help against diseases- there are other places and people who specialize in such. The closest thing we offer are prosthetics." Carro gestured with his head to one of the robots strolling through the halls outside. "I have a medical degree, but it's for physical injury and emergency response rather than treating diseases and viruses." With how often he'd been smacked around, he had to get himself back up somehow, after all.
"Even then, there's many steps before graduating a business partner. What's your budget and business plan? Products and services? Your background and education? That kind of stuff. I'm still uncertain what your job even is." It was his policy to take time to think on things like these. This wasn't a smaller and needier establishment Yakone could easily pitch to- he was talking to the President of Earth, after all.

Upon entering the room in which they would have their discussion, he'd looked to Carro with a cheeky smile and an awkward hand scratching to the back of his head. He would spot Carro sitting down on his chair and Yakone would sit right across from him and fold his hands together, having the face of an awkward individual who wanted to tell him something but at the same time didn't want to know his reaction from it. With a hard swallow, he fixed his eyes back at Carro.
"Forgive me Carro but"
His voice went from nerdy to his normal voice. He'd take off his phony glasses and remove his bandage from his nose. He'd clear his throat and got down to business.
"I am not a scientist nor am I associated with anything that could save the lives of anyone really. I knew that the only way I could come in contact with you, the president of Earth, is if I set up a meeting with you instead. I am afraid for this planet... mainly due to me living on this planet and all. but most importantly, i'm afraid of Queen Kayen. Normally I wouldn't abandon the Kingdom and risk my own life to come to a fellow saiyan for help. But I heard you were the best of the best.
I don't know if you have heard the reports but."
If his intel was right, Carro would be able to confirm it at a later time if he already didn't know.
"Planet Arcose isn't under Fleet's command anymore. Now I know this is a victory for the Kingdom and i'm all for it. But the saiyans are now conquering the planet and claiming it. I'm afraid that if she comes to this planet, She will do the same thing. Which means you would lose your title as president and evil will conquer this planet as well. The arcosians and their people are being forced into slavery. I know that I am a nobody to you and you just discovered my name but."
He began to shake.
"I don't want to see the women, children, and elderly be put to work under those circumstances.. I was born into being a soldier for the kingdom. I did what I did for the kingdom for years under Vocado's ruling and now.. Kayen is under control and started to conquer planets... The rumors in the kingdom are already spreading the information about what her plans are with the planet Arcose... I'm asking you..."
He'd bring his hand over to Carro's hand, with tears in his eyes.
"Please don't allow evil to happen to this planet...."

"Oh." Carro's voice dropped to a dull monotone when Yakone dropped his act. He clicked his tongue and blinked several times to confirm what he was seeing. "Oh okay." He spoke in the same flat, unamused tone. Here he was thinking his day was off to a great start with a scheduled appointment! But now his disappointment was immeasurable and his day was thoroughly ruined by yet another attempt to use his kindness against him.
Carro's expression remained blank as Yakone rambled on. When the trembling man tried to grab his hand, he clenched his fist and drew it back before he could touch it. "You're a fantastic actor, I'll give you that..." He shrugged, taking another lazy sip of his half-filled coffee mug. "But you're a horrible liar."
Unfortunately for Yakone, Carro knew of Kayen's plan before it had even begun.
"Funny story- I met with the Queen herself not long ago. Face to face, eye to eye. But I'm afraid her story doesn't match with yours. She has no interest in the Earth or slavery like you claim." Before Yakone could object, Carro raised a finger to silence any rebuttals he could have before they began. "Kayen had no reason to lie to me either, and I was assured that she was truthful. Don't think of using that card when you've lied your way into my office. How do I know this isn't another act of yours with how well you pulled off your prior stunt?" He grumbled, tail swaying impatiently behind his chair. If something like this happened again after today, he was going to scream his lungs out. Why did his luck have to be this way? "I have her on speed-dial, you know. I could call her riiiight now and we'd get the truth from the source. But I think we both know it already."
Carro sighed, annoyance brimming in his voice. "While planetary takover leaves a sour taste in my mouth, I trust Kayen and Nashua's responsibility more than I trust the Fleet's leaders and their agenda." Though they did use Earth as an unwitting battleground at first, Carro didn't fully blame them- they could either flee or loose everything on Vegeta. Even then, the Fleet and their mercenaries were the ones directly attacking Earth on a few occasions and not the Kingdom. "...So, are you done lying to my face and wasting my time?"

He'd just stare at Carro and raise to his feet afterwards, walking away and towards the doorframe. He'd finally look over his shoulder and stare at him with a sharp and serious look.
"I understand you not wanting to believe me and that's fine. Many wouldn't trust the words of a stranger compared to someone they know for much longer. Even though my words will fall on deaf ear. I have just this to tell you.
I am a soldier of the kingdom. You are the Earth president of this planet, having no real connections to what we soldiers do and know about. I came to you in confidents hoping that from one saiyan to another you would understand how we saiyans tend to get. Specially considering that just a few centuries ago we were claiming planets and here we are again, doing it with a twist. I don't expect an outsider to know what is going on in the Saiyan Kingdom's current affairs.
Perhaps I can find someone else who would better understand a threat coming from one of the most powerful factions in the galaxy and who isn't a friend of the Queen. All you see is a tree and not the entire forrest."
He'd walk out of Carro's office, whether he chose to speak with him further would be up to him.
Attempted Exit unless you want to continue
