Greetings, Mr White.
It's quite an unusual surprise to hear from Ageira.
Of course waste disposal is the very business our company is named for, and we will be happy to arrange pricing details and send our ships over.
Unfortunately, there's a major hurdle in the way that must first be cleared.
Mutual hostility with Deep Space Engineering has come to the point of flat-out warfare, so traveling along the lanes simply isn't possible at the moment.
Particularly not on a route that passes directly by Baltimore shipyard.
It's my understanding that Ageira enjoys good relations with DSE, if you could convince them to scale back their hostility we would be willing to do the same.
Otherwise, I'm afraid we cannot send any ships along that route.
- Regards, L.A.
Mr White;
Good to hear from you again.
We've been following corporate developments in Liberty of course, and Deep Space Engineering's crisis is welcome news indeed.
With the ceasefire in place and a more permanent peace accord likely to be struck in the near future, I think we needn't worry about your company's position and privileges in Rheinland in the long term. From what I hear, the Interspace debacle is largely resolved as well - a full normalization of relations is within sight.
At this time though, while most Liberty corporations enjoy wide-ranging rights that were expanded even before the ceasefire, there have been zero efforts from the other side to match these warming relations, with Rheinland companies except our own still banned entirely. Our own trading rights are ruinously prohibitive and have actually gotten
more restricted over time, so that we have more or less ceased operations in Liberty altogether and invested elsewhere.
It's currently neither financially nor politically feasible to invest in increased Liberty operations.
As the situation between the nations changes, we'll undoubtedly re-evaluate our policies.
Regards, Lena Atzenbruck
