Handle name: Hebishima , Takarabune Conglomerate
Konbanwa Daichi Matsumada-san, Mr. ... Goro Yoshida-san.
My name is Hebishima, and I'm a senior member of the Takarabune Conglomerate. We have received word of this unusual request from our "neighbors" for some material deliveries. Yes, quite unusual.
I say unusual because, unlike Matsumada-san here, we of the Takarabune, and I believe most of the elements of the Hogosha Association do not enjoy a good standing with the likes of the Lane Hackers, even though they have shown in the past interest in collaborating in our business in Liberty markets, and more recently in the containment of the bounty hunter activities in Kusari space.
Such willingness however does not immediately translate to peaceful encounters between our men and yours. Yes, we can get the stuff you want, and for a reasonable price. But if we get shot by any and every scout south of Deshima all the way to your Leiden, just to bash our nose at your door and get plasma shots on our shields, it's quite pointless.
You're the kind of folks who manage fine in changing things, either through some talk, or by more electronic persuasion. I'm sure you can suggest some solutions for this "minor" obstacle.
Hmmm, thinking about it, if you are willing to rely on a middleman, I think we can find some good places in Kepler for exchange.
Let us know of your decision.
May the Fortunes give a clear sight, Yoshida-san
