I believe introductions are in order - I'm Commander Michela Calliente of the Deterrence. Quite simply, I represent Corsair interests. I don’t think our paths have crossed.
I will get straight to the point - Omicron Theta is about to get rather heated with an all out-war against our most hated enemies - the Outcasts. And when there’s an Outcast, there’s bound to be Core and some other scum. Our intelligence indicates that the conflict will reach its peak in the next 3 standard days. I’m a betting woman and I would like to increase our odds. We’ll pay you 10 million creditos for your company to join us in the fight. We all get to play heroes and help some poor Zoner civilians, throw out the trash, you get paid handsomely. Maybe you find the Zoner love of your life and save a pretty damsel in distress? I hear borderworld women have a certain appeal.
I understand this is coming rather short-notice but time is of the essence here. I would appreciate your quick response in this regard. I am also equally willing to consider bonuses should we come out victorious as well as long-term working arrangements or opportunities.

Miss Calliente,
I must admit that your transmission has caught me ever-so-slightly by surprise. I hadn't expected the Corsairs to approach us for aid. You see, your people and the Company have a storied, and violent, mutual history. Violence often instigated by ourselves. But no matter. I am more than willing to let bygones be bygones, and if your organization holds the same opinion -- which appears to be the case --, then we can indeed talk business.
The flat rate you mentioned is, at the very least, a good appetizer. However, my fellow colors insist that, in addition, we charge a credit sum per head. You'll have us on board for an additional 150,000 credits per destroyed target. With "target", of course, meaning anyone and everyone who might stand in your way.
I'm a practical woman, grudges are for the inflexible. Consider your counter-offer accepted. We'll have plenty of time to do accounting and catch-up after the battles are over. Preferably over some rum or something else of choice.
Looking forward to see you in action, Michela Calliente
It's been some time. Hostilities are at an all time high but business awaits no one. Given your company's performance, I would like to pay you up front and in good faith - half of what we agreed plus any targets you've destroyed so far.
As soon as the situation in Theta has been resolved, we'll provide you with the other half as well as naturally, any additional bounties you manage to permanently decommission.
Please provide me with a nominated account so that I can wire you the funds. We'll keep in touch for when we mobilize our forces and in terms of general logistics. I trust the above arrangements should be to mutual satisfaction.
Naturally our agreement still stands and as soon as the situation in Theta unfolds, we'll do proper accounting including the kills you've secured. Deterrence always keeps its word.
In the meantime, I have an overtime assignment if you are interested. It looks like a battle group of Outcasts have splintered from the main group in a baffling attempt to attack Reincarnation outpost - located in Delta. Why would Outcasts foolishly throw lives away to further support Core interests is beyond me. Their obvious goal is to cripple our operations.
It makes little sense to me why they would willingly sacrifice their forces to support and empower Core at zero gains for them. Nevertheless, this presents a problem for us. One that requires a solution for which I would be very happy to compensate you and your men for. Your assistance will naturally come at a good price and I am more than happy to offer a similar arrangement as to what we've already agreed upon. Naturally, time is of essence again.
Preliminary intel would suggest our forces can also expect Core forces as well as even potentially some Zoners, as ludicrous as that sounds. At this point nothing surprises me. Looking forward to hear from you.
