Dons and leadership alike

I'll make this nice and short,
I want to get me one of those battle transports
you guys now produce. It's no lie the cardimine
flow is going well, and it'd help everyone if we
could use a couple of your fine orange dream-
liners. You know we're good for slaves and the
market ain't dying, so how about you hook me
up a ship or two?

Estimado Lord Moka of the Liberty Rogues.

My name is Antonio de Motti. I am answering to your request on behalf of Maltese corporation, also known as Cadiz Cartel.

We are ready to lease you our "Aspis"-class Battletransports, on condition of your assisting to upgrade Estremadura Base in Omicron Tau and, also, your possible assistance in our future projects when we will require goods from Liberty. We are ready to discuss the details if you are interested.

Atentamente,
Antonio de Motti,
Chief Commercial Officer of the Cadiz Cartel.

Listen bro,

We Rogues aren't lackies.

We give you guys ample places to sell your cardimine
and we give you ample slaves. The least you can do
is hook me up a shiny. You might get help from time
to time but we're not your haulers. That's why you
have those shiny shipyards, so you can manage your
logistics. So, I'll ask you again; hook me up a transport
or two? Come on now... it ain't gunna cost you a lot.

Having considered the possible gains and losses, our organisation is not interested in the deal under current conditions. We wish you luck with procuring the vessels from different Maltese factions.

Consider back scratching abandoned.

Don’t bother asking us for favours in the future.

We’ll just retrofit one the boys in blue shoot down that you fly here.

Estimado Lord Moka of the Liberty Rogues.

Allow me a quick introduction - Daniel de Motti, I'm the person who was assigned to deal with this little political misunderstanding. I am sorry to see, that our side did not manage to correct it before your answer has arrived. Even considering this fact, I would ask you to reconsider your decision, as we have reconsidered ours. Liberty Rogues and the people of Malta had too long and mutually beneficial cooperation to burn everything down over a couple of ships. Moreover, none of our allies will be glad to see this conflict.

You should understand my brother - unfortunately, a lot of responsibilities lie on his shoulders. That led to overaction and it partially blunted his sense of business. I doubt, that you are actually interested in our familia affairs, so let's get down to business.

We are ready to provide you with two Aspis battletransports, but you need to understand - production of Aspis is a long, expensive and hard process and it is "gonna" cost us a lot of money, but we value our allies (like you) more than we value credits. That is why we are going to make you a counteroffer - we do not need your credits, but we need a sign of friendship as well.

I will be honest with you. We are interested in getting more involved in Liberty underworld, getting a bigger piece there. Have you got where am I pointing at? We give you these ships for free, but you will buy less cardamine from our competitors from other familias and buy more from us. At the end, except of those two battletransports, we always provide the product of the highest quality with the best price.

So, shall we forget this little misunderstanding and proceed with mutually beneficial cooperation? If you agree, then reply as soon as possible, so we will get construction of your ships. Si, you will get them brand-new without a single scratch and any rust.

I'm looking forward to your answer.

Atentamente,
Daniel de Motti,
Cadiz Cartel.

That was a turn around we didn't expect.

And that is precisely what I am looking for.
We offer the highest quality slave labor and
all I ask for is your export quality Dream la Orange

See? This wasn't hard. Tell your bro to relax, we're all
businessmen here in one capacity or another.
