Subject: Rising sun on Corsica Salutu Enzo, It was a pleasure to fly by your side for these Kusari runs. I am delighted famiglia Rondini has decided to show up again. The pride of the Unione is coming back. As discussed, we're currently waiting an answer from the Takarabune Conglomerate, an Hogosha Association. We've heard they are in possession of a rare kind of Sorted Artifacts I know Cannes Artisoctracy is demanding. If we got a positive answer, we will include you in the talks. Regarding your friend, Capitan Dubois seems to be a man of value and has a potentiel to be entrusted by the families. He cares about our principes, his scouting tasks were well done. I understand you introduced him to our escorts jobs. Finally, I have been in touch with Rheinland civilians, met in Languedoc. They're eager to find more about Black Market Munitions for us, potential new trades routes for the Unione. We get in touch soon. Sinceramente, Cristofanu Casanova

Salutu Cristofanu,

My apologies, I wanted to answer earlier, but after speaking about your offer, I had some secondary subjects to discuss with the other members of la famiglia.

First of all, pleasure was mine as well. Encountering a member of another active Corsican family yesterday was unexpected, however, it was a real chance to speak about future. And as you said, we have here an opportunity to create a true corsican union. The Rondinis are more than favorable to work with la famiglia Casanova, and to give the Unione Corse an opportunity to develop its influence even further.

And speaking of influence, I am eager to know about the answer of Takarabune Conglomerate. If they are in possession of valuable wares as you say, an association with them will be very profitable to both sides.

About Dubois, I got the same feeling. I encountered him not long ago, but he already worked with me. He does the job well, and is not afraid to let cannons speak if needed. He proved himself thrustworthy of the Rondinis, and I am sure he will catch the interest of your family as well.

By the way, could you share with us the identity of those Rheinland civilians you encountered ? Knowing potential associates will make it easier for us, if they need assistance for our common businesses.

I am looking forward to your answer,

Sinceramente,

Enzo Rondini

Subject: Rising sun on Corsica Salutu Enzo, A pleasure to read your communication. I’m sure a bright future is waiting for both our families and the Unione. Takarabune Conglomerate answered our call today ! They’re opened to business and are eager to tackle new challenges, as Hogosha Association seemed to have lost a lot of influence in Kusari. For now, my famiglia prefers to start low, with a first shipment of 4500 Sorted Artifacts. We also ask them to provide escorts. Indeed, we don’t know about their fliying abilities and that would also be a nice moment to exchange intels. You can come with us, as a fighting escort. We will share with you some of the benefits, for sure. If their artifacts are well sold in Gallia, we think we could establish a trade route with them, route we’re ready to share its ownership with the Rondini famiglia. Let’s ask our newly friend Capitan Dubois to join us for this run don’t we ? As for the Rheinland personnel, my contact answers to the name of Herbert Daumann. He is a civilian trader with a palpable anger against its government. He also has some contacts, he said, with high ranking officials that would help him to gather the Rheinland ammunitions we are looking for. We are currently expecting a shipment from them in the next few hours in Monaco Base. I’ll update you once deal is done. Meanwhile, hope to fly by your side soon. Sinceramente, Cristofanu Casanova

Salutu Cristofanu,

It's a long time since my famiglia hasn't been in contact with foreign partners such as the Hogosha, and in addition to Kusari we now have potential contacts within Rheinland. Things couldn't have gone better for a beginning, thanks to your intervention. We will remember the name of the Rheinland civilian, and will offer him the protection of la famiglia for his services, if he needs it. I hope the first shipment from them went fine.

About the first business with Takarabune Conglomerate, I accept with great pleasure to be part of the escort. My fighter Volpe~Agile will be ready to take off. And I am pretty sure that our friend signore Dubois will be interested as well. I will contact him as soon as we decide the rendez-vous.

And speaking of flying abilities, I will inform you during this route about an asset the Rondini famiglia had kept in its pockets, waiting to rise again. I am sure it could be useful.

I will be waiting for your reply, addiu.

Sinceramente,

Enzo Rondini

Subject: Rising sun on Corsica Salutu Enzo, Yes indeed, these answering foreign contacts really gives hope for our families ambitions. For your information, the first delivery of Black Market Munitions was well done yesterday. I escorted these Rheinland gentlemen from Zurich to Monte Carlo Freeport. No incident but they were not talking much, I couldn’t gather more intels. They seem to keep information for themselves, as such, I wouldn’t trust for now these civilian. Let’s way further businesses with them before offering services, let’s focus on escorting their convoys. Glad to read that you’re in for this escort mission. I sent our order to the Conglomerate, waiting for their confirmation. I can’t wait to learn more about this “sleeping asset” you mentioned in your communication. Our will to success, both of our famiglia unified, will lead the Unione to shine across Sirius.

Bona sera Cristofanu,

I am glad to hear that the munitions made it safely to Monte Carlo. Regarding to the "silence" from the Rheinland civilians I share your mistrust about them. Escorting them for now is enough for a protection. We don't know them enough to give our trust so easily, and considering the short time they worked with us, I can't blame them if they have some doubts about our organisations. They are taking risks to trade with the Unione after all. But I hope that time and money will change that.

Talking about intels, if we manage to consolidate the connections between the Takarabune Conglomerate and the Unione in the future (and with these civilians as well, if they decide to share informations), we should ask them if they are in touch with other organisations which could be interested by our corsican products.

Of course, it is a distant idea. Let's focus on the first convoy for now.

I'll be waiting to take off.

Sinceramente,

Enzo Rondini

Subject: Rising sun of Corsica Salutu Enzo, You’re right my friend, it’s true they took risks to make it so far from their home. I hope you’ll be able to join me in the next convoy, I want your feedback about them. For the Takarabune Corporation, I’m not sure we would make the right move doing so. They would feel we want to cut the grass under their feet, what would definitely harm the relationship. With the civilians it may be easier as they’re not an organized group with strict processes and communication. It may be far away but the boat needs a long term course. Never too early for planning strategies, I’m always glad to listen to your ideas. I will conclude on another positive note. While taking some rest in Monte Carlos Freeport’s bar after a long flight from Kusari, I ran into a public communication where a man, Jonas Hudson, made a call to form raiding units against the Enclave. I answered to prevent him interfering in our businesses, as Taus are systems he targets. We exchanged then on secured channels and, aside is warlike inclinations, Hudson is a pretty open-minded entrepreneur, for both legal and illegal businesses.: He has a base requiring maintenance supplies. This is for us an opportunity to reinforce our legal façade trades We can purchase there various commodities he brought back from his travels that may have value in Gallia He complies to our demand to not transport Cardamine in Taus and Gallic space Cherry on the cake, he provides Enclave goods he snapped from them. I’m already thinking to use these when it will come deal with Defense or Intelligence forces of the Confederacy. But that’s sensible stuff, I prefer to get closer before tackling this subject with him Days are full of good news my friend, vive longu l’unione ! Sinceramente, Cristofanu Casanova

Salutu Cristofanu,

You are right, safety and moderation first. This is the best way to maintain good relationships. And after all, Sirius has considerable other opportunities, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence like some say. By the way, speaking of the Hogosha, any news about the convoy agreement ?

About the civilians, indeed I need to see them to make my own opinion. So, i'll be happy to join the next convoy with them. I could contact them myself this time, to initiate the relationships with the Rondinis - as partners of la famiglia Casanova of course - and to agree on the next shipment of Munitions to Monte Carlo.

I heard about these "Tau Renegades", and I must admit, the first impression was not the most pleasant. I was about to contact them when I saw your answer. I am glad you came to an arrangment, and once again, la Famiglia Rondini will be present to help. Seeing the potential of such a cooperation.

At this rate, a bright future is promised. La unione pò prosperate !

Sinceramente,

Enzo Rondini

Subject: Rising sun of Corsica Salutu Enzo, Yes, the Conglomerate made a positive answer to provide us the amount of Sorted Artifacts we’ve been asking for. They can’t provide escort services however, they redirected me to the Hogosha Alliance for this demand. As such, I will propose them to transport the Artifacts to Ile-De-France and we provide the escort. We need to know them more. I will plan a run for the coming days, hope you’ll be free at that time. We do agree that you should contact Herbet Daumann to initiate a relationship. Just keep me posted so that I prepare another ship for this escort. Famiglia Casanova is sure that it can count on the Famiglia Rondini. I also have to share with you a terrible image I witnessed. Yesterday, Ace Dubois joined me for a Reconnaissance mission in Bretonian Space. Among the systems we mapped, Leeds. U mo Dio Enzo... What the Crown did to this planet and its inhabitants. They erased everything Enzo, everything single cell of life on this planet. It reminded me Marseille, when the wreckages of the Royal-Council battleships fell on the planet and destroyed everything on the surface, killing so many people. I can’t believe Gallic people did that and I can’t believe there is still some of them fighting for the Crown through the Enclave. Enzo, I will do everything I can to make them pay. Bounties, gathering and sharing intels with their enemies, like the Tau Renegates and Confederacy forces, anything coming to my mind. Click to open file Devastated planet Leeds I have to say I got very emotional at that time, Capitan Dubois may think I’m a bit crazy though. I asked him to execute an Outcast pilot in the Vincennes Nebulae, Ile-De-France System, I was thirsty of blood and pain... Anyway, on the worst case, money will keep up close. I see you later for the operation with the Tau Renegades l’amicu Sinceramente, Cristofanu Casanova

Salutu Cristofanu,

The picture you sent is the first I have seen of Leeds after its destruction. As I told you when we last met two days ago, it also remembered me of Marseille after the deadly rain the war brought on it, and I share your feelings about it. I heard that signore Dubois had some reasons to go against the Enclave too, so I think he understood how you felt after discovering Leeds like that. And la Famiglia Rondini cannot stay still too, so you can count on us to support the operations against the royal Enclave.

Speaking about support operations, as we agreed in the last conversation, I contacted Herbert Daumann for the next shipment of ammunitions. I am waiting for his answer to discuss about the prices and the organization. Also I opened a communication channel with il signore Hudson, to keep him informed about the inbounds brought to his Sanctuary by the Rondinis. About the arms he provided, I'll continue to transport them regularly to our bases. Weapons of this quality will be well used.

At last, the idea you communicated about our first business alongside the Takarabune Conglomerate, providing our own escort is sufficient for now. I think contacting several Hogosha groups so early couldn't be convenient. It could be easier to open communications with them after establishing good connections and reputation with the Conglomerate.

Time is our ally, but for now, i have a good feeling about all of this. I'll will make sure to be available for the first shipment, I'll be waiting for your signal.

Bona ghjurnata à tè, amigu !

Sinceramente,

Enzo Rondini
