Salve, Signor Morreti,
I am keeping my word and sending you a proposed document regarding our little business deal.
Confirm if you agree with it for the sake of clarity so I can send it as a proposal to the others on Malta, per favore.
Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella Arianna de Marco.
AGREEMENT: THE KEPLER AGREEMENT, 829
Maltese Representative: Fiorella A. de Marco
Xenos Representative: Damien Morreti
- 1. Introduction
The Kepler Agreement, 829, is a preliminary trade agreement dealing with the Cardamine trade and other related matters between the interested families and clans of Malta, represented by Fiorella Arianna de Marco, and the Xenos Alliance cell from the LFR, represented by Commander Damien Morreti.
The agreement was verbally concluded on 11th of May, 829 A.S., and later confirmed in writing.
- 2. Contents of the Agreement
- 2.1. Mutual Non-Aggression
Both Parties shall cease offensive actions against each other and shall open fire against each other only in self-defence.
- 2.2. Trade Route
The trade route itself will run through California and Ontario to Colorado, where the cargo will be unloaded and resold to the Xenos for the final distribution.
- 2.3. Base Access
The Xenos bases, with the exception of Fontana Freeport, will remain inaccessible to Maltese ships at this early stage of the trade. Maltese freighters and their escorts directly involved in trade with Cardamine will have the necessary access to the Xenos base in Colorado.
- 2.4. Cardamine Exclusivity
The Xenos pledge to be directly involved only in the distribution of Cardamine and not to serve as intermediaries for Malta's enemies, especially the Corsairs. This condition does not prohibit the Xenos from selling contraband obtained from destroyed or hijacked ships as this is not direct distribution, but a sale of the captured loot to fuel their further activities.
- 2.5. Dealing with Rivals
The Xenos pledge to disrupt the business activities of Malta's rivals, especially the Corsairs, and to suppress physical and economic influence in Liberty. The Xenos pledge to compete with their rivals so as not to disrupt the overall distribution and consumption of Cardamine.
- 3. Future of the Agreement
The Kepler Agreement is currently only a preliminary agreement establishing the first economic ties between Malta and the Xenos, and may be superseded or supplemented by other agreements regulating relations as the importance of mutual trade grows and relations become more cordial.
- 4. Termination of the Agreement
This Agreement may be cancelled by either or both parties and will terminate within seven days of notification.
- 5. Signatures

Signora de Marco.
I propose a more aesthetically pleasing name - The Kepler Concord. I think you can agree that flows off the tongue better and acknowledges the finer points of this agreement, especially the pledge to secure mutual interests.
That aside, I reaffirm my agreement to these terms.

Subject: Aliens and their thralls in Kepler
Location: MNS Amalfi
Encryption: Medium
Signor Morreti,
You wondered why I have them for 'alien thralls', bene, now I will share that reason with you as well.
I believe that these logs - both audio and flight log - speak for themselves and do not need any further comments.
Flight Log: Kepler 13-05-829 Wrote:We have been near Ames station when we the Technocrat, A/)Revenant, arrived into the NFZ from the northern part of Kepler and freelancers Rancor and Gossamer.II joined in soon after. Suddenly, the Technocrat started moving towards the Three Eyed Prophet and others followed them. Suspicious of them, especially the Technocrat, we have decided to follow them and we were prepared to record whatever they would be doing as they stopped only a short distance away from the Prophet.
After a short while, the Technocrat opened a rift and an alien infested gallic battleship appeared at the scene and other aliens appeared from the anomaly. Their weaponry proved to be potent and we had to withdraw. Rancor ran away as soon as these events started happening, but the Technocrat and Gossamer remained on site, largerly undisturbed by the events.
Audio logs are attached bellow.
Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella Arianna de Marco.

To whom it may concern,
We are not pleased with the friends you keep. We are not pleased with all the secrets and the lies. We will not harbor those that have gone further than just selling out to the highest bidder, but instead sold your souls and humanity. We pay a dear price for freedom and the future of our people, and will not see it squandered on the likes of you and your associates. Perhaps you were always more alien than human and we were just too hopeful to see it.
You are no longer welcome in our home nor the Liberty that is to come, this is the end of the line.

Come va - How are you? Are your men ready to receive first shipments or are the preparations still ongoing, Signor Morreti?
We are ready to dispatch the first convoy today as the route has been already mapped to our satisfaction, which means two fully loaded dromedaries. If everything will go as planned, we will dispatch additional daily convoys to reinforce the route.
Your personal packages will still be handled by Signor Clark as the more refined product is not included in these first convoys.

I've been better. But we're ready to start receiving shipments, even made some extra space to accommodate more if that need might arise during the course of business, but proper harvest volumes will have to wait until we build the extension.
If there's nothing else, I'll be waiting.

As for the great harvest - there is still time, Signor Morreti, two or three months to be more precise. I would not be worried about it that much, but keep me informed, per favore.
