A few weeks back, I encountered one of your ships in Gallic space, violating the law in doing so. He was then escorted from our space after paying a hefty fine, but unfortunately due to a malfunction on one of the stations we passed, he was targeted and killed by weapon platforms. He did mention something about possibly contacting you about resolving future disputes, but I wasn’t interested at the time. It wasn’t until some time later that I heard you might be able to show that you aren’t like the Sirian Proletariat that are such a common sight and I reconsidered the offer. If you are interested, I will happily agree to a meeting in Tau-23 where we can negotiate further. If that would be a problem, we could arrange to meet elsewhere.

Greetings Eloise.
Yes I was told by our Director of Gallia about the unfortunate incident occurring there.
He was rather disturbed that the police would lead him so close to a hostile station.
Now that your informing us that it was more of a weapons malfunction.
That does somewhat change things.
We would be interested in meeting with you and discussing some sort of future deals with your organization.
One major concern is your suggestion of where we should meet though.
Anytime one of our ships travels into Tau-23 we are harassed by members of the Union Corse.
So while we may be able to arrange a meeting we would need to set it up in a more secured location.
Our mining facility in Humboldt would be a better location for us to meet.
We can provide you with a secret and secured travel arrangement for you to leave Gallia.
Given the current situation though we would only be able to allow one ship to travel to Saltese.
Once we arrive we will set you up in our luxurious accommodations at the Silver City Casino.
Would this be acceptable for you?

By your transmission, it sounds like you would be jumping into Gallia and then jumping back with my ship and I. Normally, I wouldn’t allow such risks, but I am willing to make an exception from what I have heard. I still am concerned however, and will be tying my ships self-destruct system to my life signs, so if I was ever harmed, great amounts of damage would be incurred to where ever it was docked. If you require coordinates, the GRP will happily agree to generate a set. If however, you have everything ready, we will authorize the jump for tomorrow and will allow a refueling ship to be brought along as well, any other ships will not be tolerated. I await your response.

Very well.. and we do not need coordinates to jump into Gallia.
We would be jumping into Maine and need for you to be waiting for us in that system.
Once we arrive we would send you the hidden location so we could meet there.
Once you arrive at the designated coordinates you may dock on our jump ship for the return trip.
Considering the obvious security risks to our flagship we must ask that you come alone.
Do you accept these terms?

I hope you realize the benefits that this agreement might bring, and will not try to take the short term gain or act on a vendetta. I will come alone, and I will expect to be treated well. If I am not, you can expect hit squads to come after you relentlessly. I am flying to Maine as we speak and await your arrival to Gallia.
