Bonsoir Maraudeur ~

Rumor has even reached my ear of your band of Junkers from Sirius. You must have done quite a good job making a name for yourselves, oui?

Ah pardonne moi, where are my manners. My name is Jeanne De Clisson, leader of Les Black Fleet. In Sirian terms, we are Gallic Brigands, if you would rather have such a broad term for us. Though I am... pas des plus enthousiastes of that title.

Malgré tout, I will answer your questions monsieur. I have answered your first question I believe, but as far as the others, our goals are our own. Each of us have our own reasons. Mine, well... I want to see the Royals skinned and heads mounted along the hull of les Lionness. I want to see them burn, and their legacy destroyed. But, again. My goals are more personal than most.

To your questions if we can work together. What do you have to offer us? What reason would we have to work with someone whom is systems away that we have really only heard random rumors about? I see of no reason beyond a common dislike. So what can you offer or provide should I entertain the idea of working with you?

Now, you mentioned our gunboats being used within the sirius systems of Liberty. As I said before, we each have our own goals and ideologies. Just because i lead les Black Fleet, does not mean all answer my call. Non, they are free to make their own choices, as long as they don't hinder our operations or goals. If they do, they die. Simple.

I believe I have answered your questions monsieur. Perhaps now you may answer mine...

Bonsoir Ivankov ~

So you wish to conduct operations in Gallic space, et trade in goods captured from those vessels you capture, oui? An interesting proposition. While my warships due see conflict, our friends in la Council et la UC provide an adequate job. La Council with their fleet disrupting the Royals directly, et la UC able to gather numerous goods et information. You see, we are quite capable of gathering resources.

What you do propose that intrigues me is your offer of Sirian goods beyond what we receive from la UC. I would be interested in what you can provide et bring us. So I expect a list of imports that you would be able to bring that would benefit us. Naturally, I cannot tell you what we require, as we don't frequent inner Sirian systems. Hard to let you know what we need, non?

Lastly, your offer of heads. You make it sounds so... simple et brutish. My actions are not as bland as that. I want to see the Royals burn et suffer. A simple head is not a message. My pleasure is derived from slicing their head from their body myself, et staring them in the eyes as I do it. I want the last sights of this world to be of my grinning face as they see their life in my hands. You see, you delivering me a head denies me that privilege. It denies me the message of hundreds of headless corpses sent to the Crown, et knowing that they have something to fear when they leave their places of sanctuary...

Provide me a list of what you can offer, et I will see about providing you some of what you ask.

Bonsoir again monsieur Ivankov ~

Alright. You have peaked my interest somewhat with what you can acquire. Though those can be easy to acquire, et we have acquired most of what you listed already. So I hope you have more to bring to le table. Otherwise I might just take your ships et use them to patch our vessels.

Here is what I will provide in return. You will have temporary access to Narbonne Base in la Languedoc system. Bring what you will, et we will see if it's worth any future dealings. Et don't ask what exactly to bring. You bring what you feel we would need, et if it is worth it, we will accept. If not, then you need not worry again.

À bientôt
