Good day sir. I've done a bit of eavesdropping around the "Barrier Gate Station" bar and I've heard that you're the top guy here in the Libertonian underground.
Ah, by where are my manners. The name's Felix Fontaine, Gallic pirate, at your service. Yes, you have heard right, I am from Gallia. Now allow me to explain my situation. In Gallia, where war is being waged with the Bretonians and members of the Council and their allies, convoys there are well protected. That isn't very good for business. I've heard a little tip off from my pal, Joseph, that Liberty is the nexus of trade and somehow, convoys are not as well protected as those in Gallia.
Now you see where I'm getting. I want permission to pirate in Liberty. Now now, you must be thinking. "Why should I allow this devilishly handsome man to pirate on my turf?". Yes, I understand your language, the language of the criminal underground. Thus, the first step is to not provoke the other party, don't pirate without permission. The second step would be to offer the other party an introductory gift. And the third and final step would be render your services to him.
As such, I would like to present to you, my second step, a gift from Gallia. An exotic little thing, what you Sirians call a "Gallic Artifact". Rest assured, I guarantee authenticity, the supplier I get these from is a trusted source. It's a rare little trinket, expensive, highly prized. And I'm not just giving you one, but two of these little things. Just a little introductory gift.
Wait, I know what you're thinking. "A simple fancy paper weight won't win me over." Yep, I understand. Fancy stuff like these aren't worth much, they just look pretty on your desk. Let's say we throw in something useful.
10 Million Gallic Francs
Easily convertible to Sirius credits in a 1 to 1 ratio. Money talks right?
And finally, to fullfill the 3rd and final step. I would like to render my services to you and your party. Meaning I'll help out the Rogues whenever, wherever and however I can.
In exchange, you will grant me the right to pirate in Liberty, unfettered, and grant my ship, the "Spectre", an "Eclipse" Gallic Civilian bomber, painted a ghostly white, docking rights to your stations.
Let's say we make this a nice business deal out of this. Oh and remember, everything, I mean everything is negotiable.
[font=Georgia]Thank you very much sir. Merci as they say in Gallia.
I have already applied for piracy permits in Liberty, didn't know there was such a thing. Normally, our turf means our turf in Gallia, no piracy unless you contact the boss directly. I guess the people here in Liberty are more efficient.
Oh and one more thing. Remember I said I had two little trinkets for your desk? Well, I still have them with me. Can't possibly just beam them through the net can I? I was thinking, maybe I can drop them off somewhere for you? Or if you would rather just get them personally from me.
I am a man of my word. Even though I paid the requirements in cash during application, I promised two Gallic artifacts and I will deliver two Gallic artifacts.
[font=Georgia]I may have gotten the green light to piracy. But I promised two Gallic artifacts and I will keep my word. Perhaps this transmission requires a little boost.
