I've been tasked with facilitating dialogue between our respective groups. I represent Loyola LTD, an up and coming Outcast company that specializes in mercenary oriented and various other security services, what sets us apart from the otherwise run of the mill group of guns for hire is our distinct inclination to work rather exclusively with organizations frowned upon by the law, such as your own.

We'd like to know if you'd be interested in any sort of business, it seems quite logical that it's more beneficial for us to be cooperating than at odds with each other. A little good-will can go quite the distance. Shall we discuss the possibility of contractual undertakings?

You're right to exercise caution when dealing with mercenaries, but you must understand that our status as an Outcast company prevents the kind of betrayals that you're correctly concerned about. We will not cater to our enemies and we will not accept contracts from any House or its affiliated legal entities.

As for the services we provide, I believe I've already touched upon that. Movements like yours need a certain degree of both support and supplies to function properly. It's typical for you to be going up against entities such as the Naval Forces which have a more generous budget and support structure to draw from, whereas you must be careful in your deployments and logistic strain.

We act to alleviate that pressure and give you the boost you need, where you need it. Whether that pressure be in the form of a person in need of a tachyon-based restraining order or simply an injection of supplies to prevent an enemy from starving your operations, we can provide. Your efficacy as a client depends entirely on your willingness to compensate us for our services. We work and you pay, a simple arrangement.

I'll wait for your.. Shogunate to respond. I believe I've covered what you wanted clarified.

Apparently your Shogunate is incapable of coming to a timely decision. Have you buried your heads in the sand like ostriches, or am I to understand that you just don't have the courage necessary to decline a fair proposal and try to renegotiate? People speak highly of your combat prowess, dedication and professionalism. All I'm beginning to see is a bunch of pretenders riding on an age-old reputation that they do nothing to deserve. Rule number one of business is to accept or deny promptly, leaving a prospective business partner in the dark just makes you look bad. Unless that's the image you're aiming for.

Then again it's quite evident you know nothing of what business sense is, given that all it took to depose your decadent regime was a bunch of fat-cats that just so happened to be capable of making more efficient use of their financial resources. If you want this deal to go anywhere then it's your turn to come to us with a proposal, I'm done waiting for you to think with what little grey matter you have left. Must be all the gas clouds..
