Regina and Will were seated next to Kei and Belldandy, Rachel and Brad introduced them to each other as they all sat smiling around the table.

Brad: "Hi Will ! How are you? Good to see you again."

Will: "How are you doin? It's been a few months since i've seen you at the races."

Rachel:"Hi Will. I'm Rachel. Remember me?"
Will: "Yes i sure do how are you?"

Will: "This is my sister Regina, Rachel."

Brad: "Hi Regina, haven't seen you in while either."
Regina: "Hi Brad. Great to see you again."

Rachel:"Um. Will, Regina this is Keiichi Morrisato, and his wife Belldandy."

Kei & Bell: "Hi it's so nice to meet you!"

Rachel: "And these two are Skuld and Urd. They're Belldandy's Sisters."
Skuld: "Nice to meet you Will, Regina."

Urd: "Very Nice to meet you both.." (Urd holds out her hand to Will)

Will:"Nice to meet you all."
Brad: "Kei is going to be the new R&D Engineer for RPT. They're from Japan, he was a student and an instructor at Nekomi Tech."

Will: "Hmm..I've seen you before somewhere."

Kei: "Excuse me?"
Will: "Hey you were the student that developed the Variable Valve timing for Toyota weren't you?"
Kei: "(looking suprised) Why, yes . But i wasn't the only one."

Will: "Yeah but the original concept was yours was it not?"

Kei: "Yeah i guess it was..(chuckling)"

"I never expected anyone here to know that about me.."
Will: "I read alot of automotive journals is all (he said smiling)"

Kei: "Thank you i'm very honored you'd remember that."
Will: "No problem."

Brad: "Will here does private racing development and vehicle restorations."
Rachel:"His company is called NStep Development."

Kei: "very interesting work sounds like"

Belldandy: " I bet it's exciting work is it Will?"

Will: "Yes it can be. I pretty much work out of my personal shop. Not very big. I mostly do unique installs of modified equipment. But some of it is my own work from scratch. Intakes, exhaust, fuel delivery systems and what not."
Brad: "A few? Stop being modest Will. Will has over 230 Patents pending on automotive performance parts he designed and built himself. "

Urd : "Wow that is a lot of parts."
Kei: "I'll say it is. I'd like to see some of your work sometime. That is if you don't mind."

Will: "Sure we'll get together sometime i'll show you around."

Kei: "Great."

About that time Mr. Stewart and Mr. Sumoto walk up to the table.

Mr Stewart: "Well now are we all acquainted?"

Everyone nods and stands up to greet both of the men.

Mr. Sumoto:" I am Mr. Sumoto of product development for RPT performance."
Mr. Stewart: "I am Mr. Stewart Vice -president and Regional Executive officer of RPT performance. Please, Please be seated."

Mr Stewart: "I would like to welcome Mr. Keiichi Morrisato and his family to RPT performance and we hope that our relationship with you will be a long one. As you know Mr. Morrisato has been selected as the new chief engineer of Research and Development here at RPT. We feel his youth is not a factor, as he is well versed in many aspects of racing. We feel that his expertise and passion for his work far exceeds our expectations. With that said, I would like to propose a toast. To many new developments and a terrific relationship with this very bright new star of RPT ! "

Everyone: "Cheers to Morrisato family ! "

Mr. Sumoto: "I would like to introduce Mr. Will Harmmon. Will has been a long time personal friend of mine. He's been in individual devlopment and testing of his own designs for many years now. Although he is also quite young, he has a firm background in the automotive industry. He is an ASE master auto technician, a licensed CNC machinist, a certified tig and gas welder, a member of the society of automotive engineers for 8 years running. He currently has 238 patents pending with 6 unified patents in emmission certified components."

"We hope that by using Will as an impartial testing and inspection parter, we here at RPT will be able to deliver to our customers more "bang" for their buck, as well as provide exceptional quality products."

Mr Stewart: "So with that out of the way. I hope you folks are hungry, because i am certainly starved myself.."(everyone begins laughing)

Mr Sumoto : "Let's get on with the meal and we can talk more afterwards. Every one Enjoy!"
