Since i had 2 recent conversations with 2 of your esteemed collegues, i believe it was time for me to formaly introduce myself and my company. We are an organisation of Freelancers called Deep Space Solutions. We mostly make money for ourselves with production of cloaking devices. But the time has come to expand the base of operations as well as our business with diffrent goods.
Now, i had a very extensive conversation with Mr. Ekkhard of your organisation, and we seem to have seen eye to eye. Freelancers should stick together, defend eachother and help eachother prosper on account of mutual benefit. This is my way of formaly extending my arm in possible friendship.
I am sure you have been informed about me and Ekkhard communicating, and now the time has come for me to ask. Would you be willing for a more direct cooperation??

Overview:Alright, let's see about this. Jeez, i didn't checked this credentials and frequency in a good while, and looks like i'm the only one with enough manners and decency to answer it.
Okay, i'm Marcus Clarkson, "not-so-former" captain of one of the high tonnage vessels from the League, you can call me Mark or "Archer", any of those work well.
So your team is looking for work with our team, right? Sounds good for me, and lucky for you i'm looking to get my old crew back and start making cash with whatever job we can get, after what i've seen and lived out there, this is going to be like a piece of cake... That's for sure.
Anyways, straight to the point now, before going further... If we actually cared about the politics of the shockingly spineless Houses, there would probably be cause for concern, or at least opportunities for merriment, but as it stands, we just want to know what we're looking at, and so we have a few questions.
Significant Items:
Who have you cheesed off that we'd be expected to shoot if we were to protect you?
Who haven't you cheesed off that you'd be put out with us if we somehow ended up shooting at them?
We have a strict "If you smuggle, we can't do much to bail you out beyond helping you clean up the mess" policy. If you require further clarification on this, talk to one of us in person.
Greetings captain Marcus, i'm glad i finally got an answer. You sound like a straightforward man so im looking forward to seeing you getting your crew back in space. And if your looking for jobs, you need look no further, because Deep Space Solutions needs a good delivery team for final materials, mainly Ablative Armor Plating. And lots of it. You see, the process of making our headquarters bigger is aready well underway. Trade ships are delivering every day and are in conjuction with different organisations and many on sight engineers,
This is all done under the radar and no escort. Lets just say that it is in our best interest if official Liberty parties are not fully aware of whats going on. They are the ones who got cheesed off, as you put it. I prefer to say they are plain wrong for not letting us stay in our home. I have been pusruing this goal of strengthening our headquarters for many months, and now it is finally being realised.
Who will you cheese off if you decide to protect Deep Space Solutions?? Well Marcus, i believe that Liberty official law has set rules for shooting at their officers. But in order to achieve our goals, one most sometimes break a few eggs if she wants to make an omlette. I can also tell you that i am navigating Deep Space Solutions business in a direction that will deffinitely not be seen as welcomed, in the eyes of the law.
Needless to say that our cooperation would of course go both ways. You ever need something done or deivered, a conversation will be held about it, and if we both see eye to eye, Deep Space Solutions will act for THP.
This may also be beside the point if you decide on a current task ahead of Deep Space Solutions. And that brings me back to lots of Ablative Armor Plating. Current need is 40.000 units to finalize the installation. This would be of considerable help. What i can offer in return is: money compensation for the task, safe heaven for your people on our headquarters, and cloaking devices for your vessels at a significantly reduced prices.
Regarding names, if i can call you Archer, please allow yourself to call me Scorpion.
Tell me if this boads well with your organisation Archer and thank you once again.

Alright mate, Mark here, i see now we got a common ground, Liberty is usually a pain in the ass with our operations, be legitimate or not to their eyes, but sometimes i can get a good laugh from them, eventually you'll see what i mean... heh...
About the Armor Plating, i'm quite sure we can handle that with no issues, but i gotta know what's the deliver point and the price you will be offering for me and my folks.
This is great news Archer. I see your a man of business, lets get to the numbers then. The following is my proposal:
- 40.000 units of Armor Plating to be delivered to Elysium Station in Vespucci system at coordinates C1/2
- 50.000.000 SC payable to a neural account of your choice
- 20% discount on all of our cloaking devices sold to your organisation upon copmletition of current business
- usage of Elysium station as safe heaven for your pilots, be they in any kind of danger
To say Liberty governement can be a pain in the asswitch would be an understatement. No matter, we shall stay out of their business as long as they stay out of ours. I think you will like this cooperation very much. Great things await us Archer. Good day to you.
