Buongiorno

Even though I find unfortunate that you have not replied to my communication I have sent earlier, there is a more pressing issue to tackle - namely, our common foes known as the Corsairs and their middlemen, the Hogosha.

I am well aware that you do not like my kind much, to put it mildly, but I am willing to overcome our differences and reward your pilots for every destroyed vessel belonging to the Corsairs or Hogosha by sum of 10,000,000 credits, doubled if they happen to carry Artifacts of any kind. No strings attached - do what you always do and I will send you my financial thanks.

If you are interested in my reward offer - provide me with time stamped proof of your successes and name of your preferred credit account, per favore.

Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella A. De Marco.

はじめまして| Hajimemashite,

It has been a long while since I've had the chance to speak to one of your ilk and while I shall not pretend to appreciate your ways, I concede that in these trying times we must at least put aside our differences in order to secure a more desirable future. Especially against this mutual Corsair threat.

However, I cannot help but ask, why you ask this of us? What do you stand to gain? Your precious Dons who are sequestered safely upon Malta no doubt would rather spend the lives of Kusarians, specifically in this case of the Dragons for whom you too have no love. So why must I ask this of my pilots? Why should I tell them that we are to kill the enemies of Malta for your corrupt regime's meagre recompense?

You make the presumption that we are driven by nothing more than the material desire for credits, yet we fight every single day, in space, on station, upon worlds, within the universities and even within the government of Kusari itself. You know little of our five-hundred year plight and what it means to do what we do.

You can keep your credits, that which have been sown through the rot that you force upon the woefully ignorant of Sirius. I'll have no part in your game.

When contending with a monster, you'd be wise to give the devil his due.

Signora Hayashi

I am well aware of your five hundred years long struggle against the government - I have met your pilots a few times during my travels and you have explained your history briefly to me. That is why I am not even daring to hire you as mercenaries in the first place - I know it would be pointless.

As I have stated previously, these credits are merely my thanks with no strings attached - use them as you desire - to help your kin, your cause or buy more weapons.

Yet if you are still not interested, I will respect your choice and close this channel, Signora Hayashi.

Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella A. De Marco.
