Bonjour, mes amis.

We of the GMS have come to find ourselves in a bit of a quandry, and we’re certain that EFL would be the group to help.

We currently base a heavy portion of our operations outside Gallia’s borders in Tau-23. We’ve hauled in quite a bit of Niobium and Beryllium to sate the Royalists’ hunger for new shipbuilding materials. however, operating far from home has made supplying our teams a bit difficult, namely with fuel.

As I’m sure you’re well aware, those ridiculous Sirians, in addition to having trade lanes with green lights instead of blue ones, also run their ships on some hydrogen-based fuel, we know not what it is. We’d like to set up some sort of supply line to a station near to our operations via your company in order to keep our ships running.

At this point we’re not ready to act on a contract - I’m merely sending you this communication to gauge your interest in the proposition. We’d be looking for something on the order of 10,000 units of Oil every month delivered to either Java Station, Reunion, Freeport 6, or Freeport 10, depending on how our talks with their owners go. In return, we’d of course pay you for your services at the completion of every monthly delivery.

From a business standpoint, this could mark the beginning of a push for EFL out into Sirius proper. It’s no secret that Gallic ships and engines are far superior to Sirian technology. Think about it. Ze Arch is patient, and so am I.

I had surmised that Java would be the best solution here. While we do have relations with the IMG, I'll need to secure cargo space aboard their base before we continue further.

In the meantime, provided we do get the space on Java, what would you find to be an acceptable price for the contract? Our supplies department has come up with an initial figure of 15,000,000 credits per month for the full amount of 10,000. Let us know if this is satisfactory.

Agreed and understood, perhaps we can negotiate a discount in the future once we've proven our ability to secure the supplies, but for now we'll accept the terms.
Of course, this is still premature. We're currently waiting for the IMG's Board of Directors to respond to our request. Sirian bureaucracy is so horribly inefficient. We'll give the signal once the storage bay is ready on station.

Monsieur Boucher,

You are clear to begin delivery. GMS has a private docking port on Java with the station designation of 12. Cargo is to be delivered to the adjacent cargo bay, designation 12-ST. Your access key to the bay has been attached to this transmission. Once full cargo scans at the drop point have been received for all 10,000 units, payment will be wired to which account you specify and confirmation returned to this channel.

Monsieur Boucher,

The deadline for the first month is rapidly approaching, and I wish to send a reminder along to your desk. Once I receive notification that the Oil has been delivered, I'll forward the payment to the EFL corporate account.

I expect completion by March 14, oui?
