To who it may concern,

I have new found irritation lately, the Hogosha have been stepping up their export of there more, I don't even know, Customized? Made To Order? Tailor-made? I don't know, their fancy Artifacts in fancy custom cases. Apparently, traditional Artifacts are not good enough for the "Young Elites" of Sirius. So, I decided it's time we Junkers cut into this market and show them damned pigs who the real King of the Black Market is. While the preparations are underway on Madrid base, formerly Gas Miner Trischen, to set up an Artifact Sorting operation on board. I need some help acquiring some...let's say..."Market Samples". Can't produce a product with out testing it with a small sample of customers first right?

That's where you come in, unless I am mistaken your lot came out smelling pretty damn good after that little Rheinland Civil War, no? I might be wrong but it's a tad suspicious the Government just let you keep Vierlande, so I can only assume the answer to that question is yes. Assuming so, here's what we need, 200 members of the snobbiest classes you can find. Here's the catch, they can't be too high society, I don't need any investigations kicking around my bases looking for them. Once there work is complete, and they give us honest opinions of our new products, they are yours to do with as you wish. I am sure your organization should have no issues finding some aristocrats with pockets a little heavier than they need to be and some naïve young adults who are willing to make bad life choices.

Do you think you can handle this request? If not, let me know, the Unioners have been good to Congress in the past I am sure we can find someway for you to get in on this market. Especially one so close to your doorstep.

Rick Tiltman,
Arbiter

The stream starts and the director speaks with a deep voice.

“Guten Abend my dear friend.
I've surely missed your presence in Bering recently. This explains it. You have no idea how much joy this transmission brought to me. It's been a while since I've heard of your whereabouts and I must say, it seems like you've been doing alright.

As you've said yourself; After the war ended we managed to sign a peace treaty with the government which pretty much labeled us as civies'. It's all just a hoax to make us quiet again. However, after a while, I was fed up with their bullshit and decided to get the things back into my hands. So now we're back to where we were. We're investing in our bases and abusing the neutral supply lines that the treaty granted us. That is until we strike them again. Ain't no way we will let RGS fly around without even receiving a slap on its' wrists.

I'm also happy that you guys haven't forgotten that we don't only sort imported goods but also provide for ourselves with our own activities. Of course, we'll manage to transport two hundred market samples to the Madrid base shortly. And don't worry about their origins. The goods have been lost a while ago and all of the snooping around them has ended. Regardless of their status. Expect a delivery shortly. I usually don't do this stuff like this but we'll talk about payments after you test the cargo for yourself. I'm just so happy to see an old friend again.

Safe skies.

The speaker leans in at the camera and the stream ends.
