From:John Johnson To:Bretonian Merchant Navy Encryption:Civilian
Dear friends,
I am Mister John Johnson. I work for myself. And a bit for the Glorious Republic of Liberty, your mighty ally. Currently I am searching for a place to base my company, the Johnson Company, on Planet Los Angeles. By Saturday, all will be settled. My company produces engines, most of which will be sold to the Liberty Navy. I only use the best components, which is why I need the Bretonian ones. However, Magellan and Cortez are dangerous, so I cannot employ civilian haulers. I need you to deliver 7,000 units of engine components to Planet Los Angeles on Saturday. I will pay you well, but how well, I will tell you when I see the components. Better ensure that they are top quality, because then you will receive the top payment.

Good day, Mr. Johnson
This is Commodore Ryan O'Dukes, Executive officer of her majesty's merchant navy. As our Convoy BR-96 will head to Rheinland on friday, we could redirect one of its groups from Rheinland to Liberty space. If you are fine with the quality of Rheinland's engine components, this order will directly be fowarded to the convoy leader. About the payment, please do not worry about that, sir. I guess you should foward it to the War Cabinet.
Tell us when and where you need the cargo and we're ready, sir. The transports "Lincolnshire" and "Balmoral Castle" will be dispatched to fly a short swing-by via Liberty space with their escorts, while on our way back from Rheinland.

Commodore O'Dukes,
Rheinland engine components do not fit well on Liberty ships. And they are of sub-optimal quality when compared to yours, of course! I need Bretonian engine components. I will pay for them much more!
Also, if you deliver on Friday, please meet me in Cortez, in the orbit of Planet Curacao. I am not sure that I will have acquired a piece of land on Los Angeles before Saturday.

Well, that doesn't maeke it easy for me *sips whisky* What i can offer you is to redirect the northern division. They might pick up engine components at Southampton. But as we need to cross the frontline, we will need some heavy protection to get this delivery done. I will dispatch some heavy transports to pick up the cargo. the destroyers "HMS-Dorsetshire" and "HMS-Tornado" may provide cover, as soon as they do not have to enter Liberty space (maybe you can sort that out by a request to their high command). If not, our gunboats will have to provide cover, if we need to enter Liberty space.
I would advise to contact the 5th Liberty Navy fleet and the Bretonian Primary Fleet, as we might need some backup there.

Commodore O'Dukes,
If it will not rise your price substantially, meet me at Curacao on Friday at 20:00 universal time, with the cargo, the Dorsetshire and the Tornado. But if these heavy escorts mean that I must pay heavily, then bring only a gunboat.

Sir, as we need some time to prepare that mission, surprisingly as it came in, we can't guarantee delivery before 9:00PM (21:00) Standard time.
Besides that sir, you do not need to pay our escorts! We are not mercenarys, bounty hunters or private contractors! If you're fine with the terms now, i guess we will meet at Curacao then, sir, *he plays with an ice cube in an empty glass* I am curious to see what exactly you use those types of engines for.
