Not that those things hurt, exactly. But that's why I'm offering a partnership rather than employment.

[ Speaking of which... ] I have made that offer to two people already, so I'm sure they would appreciate the lab space. Though I would be surprised if Peter hasn't seen your labs extensively already, I'm not sure how well you may know former Ambassador Revan.

As for how much space can be allocated and where, and what sort of overhead I made need to contribute for, those are things we'll need to discuss in more detail when we can. Probably have some sort of contract made up to christen the deal as official.
