To The Mollys:
The Mollys seem to have such frequent kerfluffles that reshuffles their leadership that I can no longer keep track as to just who it is that is in charge. If the individual in charge of the Mollys is also commander of The Final Rush, then we may proceed with negotiations. If not, then the individual in charge of the faction shall have to communicate his official endorsement of any exchange before we proceed.

The Mollys are not led by any one man, not since the demise of the beloved Republic.
The individual clans each hold their own, and work together in the Council to deal with issues pertaining to the entire Molly nation.
I am the Grandmaster of the Old Guard of the Republic, and a Councillor of the Molly nation.
That's as "boss" as it gets, unless of course you require the approval of the entire Council.

Very well, Mr. Grandmaster of the Old Guard of the Republic, since I have yet to be informed of your personal name. This is what I propose.
In the past we have been fortunate enough to receive services from various personnel relocation firms, but they seem to have largely succumbed to the pressing weight of regulatory red tape and ceased operations. This leaves us with a substantial number of inconvenient persons who have temporarily taken up residence in certain facilities that we operate, and are awaiting transport to more permanent accommodations. The most odious of these were formerly bounty hunters - I'm sure you see what I mean.
Currently we are obligated to feed and house over 5,000 of these individuals. In exchange for access to Hellflurries for your operations, I seek the removal of these unproductive residents from our care. You may do so in one of two ways, according to your preference.
1) Redeem as many bounty hunters as your transports may carry for 18,000 credits per individual - payable upon receipt of these individuals into your custody, minimum 4,300 hunters transferred - minimum $77,400,000 credit transaction for 4,300 hunters, although you may take all that we have if you wish, for the added marginal price
2) Remove these former bounty hunters from our custody in exchange for 5 cardamine or 5 munitions crates from the Outcasts per individual transferred to your custody, minimum 5,000 hunters transferred in exchange for 25,000 units of fine Outcast wares
Choice one may be undertaken with one exchange.
Choice two will require multiple trips to provide enough cardamine or munitions. You may take the hunters according to the 5 to 1 ratio with each trip.
After the conclusion of these transactions, we will authorize you for as many Hellflurries as your operations require on an ongoing basis.

Grettings, I have with me the detail report of delivery made by our group better know as "The inner Project", its my hope that with this act we get your trust and your cooperation in order to profit from it, should you also have the need for more high risk high value cargo deliveries we have a less popular group that do such work, they are best known as "ToP".

Good job Mr.Ashad, even if your first neural net link to evidence is obviously broken, it took us exactly 3.89 seconds to hack into your databank and find the right ones, so don't worry about it. You're free to use our bases and deal with our export software, maybe we find more work for you in the future. For now getting fresh cardamine to our bases is enough. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Greetings gentleman,
My name is Alex Drake and I represent The Society. It has come to my attention that we were to pay you an additional 50 million credits upon the successful hijacking of Atlantis Station for your assistance with providing the bluprints for the vessel.
I've checked transfer logs and it would appear that this transaction never took place... must've gotten lost in all the paperwork during the recent internal restructuring. The fact of the matter is that I do not like owing debts. Where shall the remaining 50 million we owe you be sent?
Drake out.

Greetings,
Allow me to present myself: the name is Duessel, and I speak partly for myself, and partly for the CrossBones. You may or may not have heard of us, but that isn't relevant. Some time ago, ran into one of your operatives, Paco Pistols. Well, he showed me his prowess at using Lane Hacker weaponry, but once we settled our differences, he was kind enough to point me to this channel. It's been a while since then because, quite frankly, this channel is heavily encrypted, and I am sure no expert on the matter. I had to buy myself someone with better technical skills. Luckily, the Outcasts were able to help.
So, off to business. As I said, I had a chance to see your weaponry used on me, and I was impressed. As such, I would like to acquire some Lane Hacker gunboat turrets, just enough to equip my gunship, a Rogue model. Also, on behalf of the CrossBones, I request permission to use Cochrane Depot as a staging base for our smuggling operations, maybe some military ones as well.
Of course, whatever the your terms may be, we are willing to do our best to fullfill them. If we can reach an agreement now, and you are satisfied with our work, maybe we can expand such deal in the future. But I don't want to go ahead of myself. Tell us what you need be done, and we will do it.
That'd be all, for now,
Duessel
