Greetings, dear colleagues of the GMG,

My, what a lovely surprise I had when my uncle barged into my office and showed me a missive directed at him from a GMG rep.

Well, the answer, before anything else, is a big fat yes. Profits be damned (though of course we're still doing it for them in large part), we'll take whatever chance we get to find some payback against those sticks-in-the-mud (for reference, Kusari in general, besides the "terrorist" factions). We don't mind piracy. But pirates having the "law" on their side? That's just not fair. You don't get to change the rules mid-game.

Rest assured, that we are extremely interested in your proposition. Junkers may be a very efficient group at undercover operations, but it is my understanding that certain groups within Kusari might not entertain them, which will inevitably make their job harder. That is not the case for us. They don't like us, but they don't actively seek to kill us.

Yet, that is.

So yes, we are very interested in that slice of cake you mentioned, especially if there's chocolate chips involved (metaphor). Whatever you may need, give us a time, location, and a cheque, and you'll find the supplies delivered in two day's time or half your money back.

Sincerely yours,

"Big Joe"

Konabawa and Good Morning,

The GMG is pleased to offer you a 'slice of cake'.

We are granting you access to this channel, for the purpose of accounting for your shipments. Yes, you will be able to see what the Junkers are doing - and they will be able to see what you are doing. It is called competition.

Greetings, dear colleagues of the GMG,

We are most pleased with this new understanding. Shipments will begin at once.

And obviously, this never happened. Ever. Ever, ever, ever.
