Buenos dÃas our honorable brothers in Kusari,
My name is Vincent Olvera, but that matters so little as I'm only here to deliver a message from our Don, Señor Santini. You might have heard of our Don, or even met many of his humble servants - many like me - in your journeys to our space, but just as a formal introduction, I will continue the message this way: Don Antonio Santini, is one of the wealthy individuals of the empire. One of the very few with enough wealth who look after others, to take them in, to give them shelter, and to make sure they never get hungry ever again. And as such, We, his humble servants, return this generous favor with acting as his eyes, ears and arms within the borders of the empire and neighboring systems.
Our don is a man of words, manners, and of course... Credits. If he offers a deal, or a helping hand, be sure it indeed would be profitable for all parties involved, not just himself. Our don have had anything he had ever wished for, and I can tell you, he had worked so hard for some of those 'achievements'. But now, our don wishes for one of your ships, the 'One of a kind'. We are speaking about one of your 'Raba' transports.
Si, our don has longed for this ship ever since one of your hermanos came to Crete in one of those, with a cargo hold full of Luxury Food. The captain of the Alliance ship was rewarded generously by our don and now the only thing our don cares for is adding this fine piece of Corsair technology, enhanced by the masterful hands of kusari engineers, to his personal hangar.
As a side note, which I believe would be in your interest too, Our don has the habit of going out on 'Hunt parties' around Bretonia - especially Dublin - and also Sigmas - to toy around with GMG rats - every once in a while, and I believe he is planing to replace 'La Gloriosa', his personal "Imperator" Class Gunboat, with this fine piece of Kusari art, for said hunt parties.
So, I, Vincent Olvera, on behalf of Don Antonio Santini, humbly request you to craft one of your fine Rabas for our Don's personal use.
But of course, our don understands nature of each and every deal, that no one will gain anything before he gives some, so if you require anything, be it in form of credits or cargo, whether the funds needed to craft this ship, or the resources required for its built, our don is willing to supply you with every single piece or credit needed.
And to end this transmission, our don have sent you a very small gift, but of course, this is neither a bribe nor any pre-paid cash to cover the cost of the ship. Our don have sent you this small gift only and only to show his good intention toward the society, and whether or not this deal takes place, is totally an unrelated matter.
Gracias,
Vincent Olvera

I will forward this message to our our leader senor and we are also very grateful for your gift. I am sure much rice will be bought from that to poor and hungry people of our glorious nation.
On a side note, maybe Don could contact us himself, We would definitely be honored to speak with such a powerful man. There is no need for middle man and our communications are well encrypted. Me or our leader will contact you soon senor.
Regards

As the video starts, a man of hispanic origin appears on the screen. He's sitting on a chair with his back to a window, with view of a meadow visible outside through the thin curtain. The man who appears to be in his mid fifties smiles warmly and starts with a poor kusari accent,"Konnichiwa my dear friends,"and then continues in a natural hispanic accent,"Let me tell you that I meant no disrespect by not contacting you directly at first, even though I did plan to sign in this channel personally as the negotiations start."then pours himself a glass of what appears to be water and continues,"It was more of a... 'Reward', for my dear Vincent to act as the 'middle man' on this deal, as it was by his own request."and continues,"You might consider it so ruthless of me for requesting a ship from you dear friends in our first ever contact, as it would have been more polite to keep this request for some time in future after more 'cooperations'."and smiling again, he says,"But pardon my impatience, as the ship seemed to be such a fine vessel that I couldn't resist but to try to get one right away!"and then raising the glass and looking at it for a moment he continues,"But I've learned one thing my dear friends, nothing in life is better than a cold glass of water, and as it happens, life actually -is- like a cold glass of water! You should enjoy it while its still cold, because you won't know what tomorrow has for you!"then putting the glass down again, he adds,"But let me tell you one thing, that I am sure, this deal could be the very beginning of many other profitable cooperations between us. Profitable both for you, and us! And trust me when I say, profit is not only money to me, it's many other things as well, making friends is one of them."and in the end smiles before finishing the transmission and says,"I'll be awaiting for your reply, and it's a great news for me to know you've liked the very small gift I sent you, be sure that won't be the only!"

[font=Century Gothic]Konnichiwa Senor,
I feel honored to speak with a man like you. A man who knows what he wants and what he can get. Your analogy is completely right. Our lives are short and perishable and there is no reason for waiting. But I must ask you for it now although I am sure you and my leader will understand each other. But till the time he gets to this message from you senor, he is indeed very busy, you will have to wait.
There might be some necessary little formalities like recommendation letter from one of Corsair leaders with who have mutual trade agreement. Do not take it as a insult senor, as it is only a standard process and man with powers like you will have no problem with getting that.
I looking forward to see our future cooperation.
Yours

Hola again,
Do not worry my dear friend, I respect your leaders enough to wait calmly as long as they find suitable. And as for the 'recommendation letter', that actually is a completely valid point... And I do happen to have a friend or two among our honorable elders themselves. So no need to worry, I will hopefully get the job done and forward you the message from one of the elders before your leaders get the time to review this channel. And again, thank you for pointing out this small but valuable detail.
Buenos dÃas my dear Kusarian friends,
I have talked to one of our elders, Señor Adam - who I believe, you already know in person -, and decided to forward you his exact reply to my message. The reply our dear elder sent to my message concerning the 'recommendation letter' you had requested reads as:
I don't see why you shouldn't get approval... You have served the Corsair Empire numerous times and I would almost say you are most likely one of the most loyal we have.
You can tell our Hogoshan friends that I "recommend" you to fly a Raba, after all it will also aid our economy in a way.
[font=agency fb] <<< ENDING TRANSMISSION >>>
[color=#FFFFFF]But of course and of course, if you'd rather feel more comfortable to directly discuss this matter with our dear Adam, I can grant him full access to this channel so you and him can have a talk, but I believe this forwarded message would do, si?

[font=Century Gothic]Konnichiwa senor Santini,
The Black Dragon Society decided to [color=#33CC00]approve your request for one (1) Raba vessel. Use is to honor both Corsairs and Hogosha organizations. We also expect you to be prepared that Society might request some kind of favor in future. Keep that in mind Senor.
Sayonara and I hope we will hear from you soon.
Yours

As the video starts image of Santini appears on the screen, who's zipping up his flight suit. Background is clearly Kabukicho's hangar, where a Raba is parked in a corner. After picking up his small bag, he turns around and starts walking toward the Raba, while looking at the camera over his shoulder and saying,"Gracias my dear friend, I arrived at your base this morning after a long journey and I'm pleased to see the ship is already ready!"By this time they reach the Raba, so he reaches up and taps the hull of the ship and says,"I am glad to let you know I am really pleased with the decision I made, and for your generosity to grant me this piece of art."Then putting his hand on a younger man's shoulder who's standing next to him and whispering something in his ear, he continues as the younger one walks away out of the image,"I also have a small gift for you, nothing special, but still worth showing my gratitude. I came here in my personal Freighter, one of which I believe you already have agreement with our elders to use..."then as he points his hand toward the other end of the hangar, camera turns and shows a Correo parked in a corner,"...Even though second hand, this fine bird is in perfect shape, as she was one of my favorite and I looked after her and made sure she's always ready to fly."And he continues with a chuckle as the camera turns back to him,"But I need her no more as I have a much better ship now,"Tapping the hull of Raba again, he says,"So I'm leaving my Correo here, as a small gift to show my gratitude. Use it as you may please, give it to one of your hermanos, use it for storage, or even scrap it for parts... You're the one to decide as it is yours now."Then adds,"Oh, and before I forget... One of your amigos is already installing Hogosha transponder on that ship, so you can use it right away. Just in case you have a list of approved technology that you might need to keep track of, I'll be flying my new Raba under the same callsign we used for my Correo, Umbra-de-Mortuus, so I thought it would be wise to let you know to prevent any unwanted misunderstanding in case any of your brothers sees us flying around Sigmas without knowing whether or not the ship has official approval or no."Then walking a few steps closer to the camera, he bows slightly and says,"As you say, 'Domo-Arigato', and I will be back to you with a trade proposal in a few weeks, until then, feel free to contact me anytime if I can offer you anything of your need."and the video feed stops with a smile.
