Good Day to You,

I am David Jamison, Owner and CEO of Redline Inc.

We are an Ores and Metals Hauling Company originally based in Bretonia, but have recently moved operations into the Borderworlds regions for more suitable access to the mining regions in which we are currently operating.
This change has recently brought our ships into more frequent contact with your associates.
Our base that the ship was relocating to is Redline Depot E in Sigma-15.
For the record, we issued an open letter to the peoples and factions in the area who may be affected by our base's presence when beginning construction. We sought a dialogue with those persons in order to avoid conflicts.
I regret that we didn't get the opportunity to have these discussions in advance of today's contact.

It is the policy of Redline Inc. for our ships (named Redline for our own ships and JGDco for associated haulers) to attempt peaceful negotiations when encountered in order to preserve lives, our ships and our cargos.

Today's encounter with the Barge Jormungandr was unique, in that the ship had just launched from being newly purchased and had not yet been outfitted or connected to our company communications network, which allow our ships to acquire the monetary resources for paying it's operational costs such as repair and tolls.

I appreciate your understanding of this situation during the encounter today and your patience in resolving the issue. We certainly don't wish to lose such an expensive ship at all, let alone on it's maiden voyage.

Jormundgandr was hauling Hull Segments needed for the continuing construction of it's home base.
That load had the relatively small value of only 7.5 million compared to our company's usual hauls and is inconsequential to the value of the forbearance which you displayed in not damaging our very expensive new ship.

You would understand, of course, that we would like to keep any terms reached as a private matter, and I invite you to contact me directly at your earliest convenience for a prompt and fair settlement.

In the near future Jormundgandr, like our other ships, will be able to settle any disputes immediately via direct contact with my office. If our ships are ever unable to satisfy your concerns, I ask that you escort them to a safe location and contact myself directly for satisfaction rather than resort to more militant or destructive means.

We here at Redline. Inc appreciate your discretion,
and bid you prosperity in your endeavours.
