-- BROADCASTING MESSAGE --

Guildmaster Schulze, it's a pleasure to hear from you! As one of Gateway's closest and dearest partners, the Guild receives priority on any and all contracts.

I'm happy to accept responsibility for this delivery, though I should let you know that the market for modular superstructure components is currently very tight. While it's possible we may be able to source them from Galway Frontiers, one of BMM's subsidiaries -- of which I'm sure you're away -- I've heard that they've recently stepped down production to refocus on gold refining for the time being... and of course, neither of us relish the thought of doing business with them.

If you could put in a good word with the Kongsi Syndicate for us, we would have a reliable source of niobium from their own Riau Star City, which would surely expedite the process. Either way, I anticipate that the niobium delivery will be the easiest part of this contract, to be completed shortly. Finding a source for the modular superstructure components, however, will take some time.

My intuition from analyzing recent market trends is that the current price you have quoted for this contract will see us breaking even rather than carrying a profit, though that said as this is Caledonia's first direct commission for the Guild we're happy to accept this current price as a gesture of goodwill.

If the above is acceptable to you, Guildmaster Schulze, we can consider this commission active and in progress!

Thank you for choosing Caledonia Distributions, and have a wonderful day.
