**Transmission from Free Trader United Main Office**
**Opening Message**
Good day Lady´s and Gentlemen of the Molly Council.
Iam Gorden Wealer FTU Aide from main office.
FTU wuld like to offer you Peace between the [M]ollys and Free Trader United.
For this we requesting a open commchannel between the Leadership of FTU and [M]ollys.
The Commander wuld like to talk with the [M] council personelly about some details.
We are looking forward for a peacefully future bewteen our companys.
FTU waiting hopefully and with all respect to the Mollys for a answer.
Regards In order from FTU Board of directors,
G.Wealer (FTU Aide) **TRANSMISSION END**
I am Aine Moore, a representative of the Molly Council regarding relations and trade. I gather that you lot fall under my desk for these matters. It will be me you will communicate with until the senior council makes a decision regarding terms.
I'll tell you up front, I was tasked this position more to the fact that my accent is more Bretonian than some, but if you take my being female for being weak, rest assured I can tun you from a rooster to a hen in one shot. I'm even, and I'm fair, but I'm not the friendliest girl you'll meet.
Now, down to business. Your lot chose to avoid negotiations by comms after we realized how much you'd been strip mining our Dublin. Instead you chose to negotiate with guns and I'd say that it's been yours and not ours that have suffered the most. Your ships go down nearly every outing, your warships are destroyed time and time again and your transports and miners are unable to either mine or get ore to sale without extreme effort. You've even lost your Argus battle cruiser twice, and now it's been made to leave by the BAF. This is how your negotiations turned out. Now, you come to us again to talk. We're willing, but you'd be better ready to up the ante as they say.
Quote:Free Traders United shall:
* Pay the sum of 500 million credits monthly to the Mollys. The monthly term begins upon announcement of receipt of the initial payment and is due every 30 days from that point. Failure to make payment will result in forfeiture of this or any agreement with the Mollys.
* Cease trade with Gallia
* Not mine in the Molly fields (the field surrounding Arranmore) without an [M] tagged Molly to supervise.
* Sell gold ore mined in Dublin to the Mollys or Molly designated ships for an amount not to exceed 2,500 credits per unit.
* Will bring supplies of food, oxygen, mining machinery, or other materials designated by the council on a monthly basis.
In return the Mollys will not shoot you, will not tax .:FTU:. tagged ships, and if an [M] tagged Molly chooses at the time to do so, will supervise and allow your ships to mine in the Arranmore fields. We may choose to tax your customers, but we'll not disturb your lot unless you act to prevent it or fire upon our ships.
There are billions of credits worth of our ore at stake here. If you want a share of that, these are the opening terms. I'd rather turn my guns towards the baffies or the corsairs, but can continue to devastate your kind just as easily. It's your call.
Regards,
Aine Moore
Councilor for Relations & Trade
Molly Council
PS I'd add but one thing more, though it be for me personally. Your man .:FTU:.Orbit(M) fired on our ships today while we were taxing a non FTU transport and engaged with a bounty hunter Orca. This man managed to escape, much to my chagrin. My desire? I want gun cams of his ship being destroyed by your own hands, then his escape pod delivered to me at Arranmore. I'll have his head, his heart, and then use his body as bait for the cannibal Corsairs.

Good day Miss Moore,
im Richard Stevens,Commander of Free Trader United.
its a pleasure to meet you miss moore,and for sure i wont disrespect you in fact that you are a woman.
And its true the last weeks was a true pain for FTU,at the battle our companys had before we lost many good mens.
This way we wasnt never looking for,we are just a mining company and our escorts are old war veterans,
and all what i want for my men are a safety future.
On this way i like to apologize me formal for the whoole FTU company for this big missunderstanding.
We know that Dublin are Molly´s homespace and we highly respect your company.
And it wuld be a pleasure to work with the [M]ollys together in future. *We agree with all points for the new contract.*
The term looks alright for me,the huge sum of 500 millions will make us alot of work just,couse we need to pay all our mans who works for us.
But i guess with you as friendly company on our side we can work much more.
About the shipping part for you.
Quote:* Will bring supplies of food, oxygen, mining machinery, or other materials designated by the council on a monthly basis.
This will be no problem,we got much Trader Pilots at our Trade Department which i can send for your goods.
Send me just a list how much units of the goods you need and we deliver.
Thanks for this new chance Miss Moore,we are looking forward for a good and safe future,and a great business for both sides.
Awaiting your answer,with all respect for you.
Regards
For Free Trader United
Signed
(Commander of FTU)
*PS:Unfortunately I can not fulfill your personelly desire.
After we fired Orbit,he disapear.Mr.Wealer had try to find him but nowhere a singh of this guy.
I Aplogize me for this,but this runs out of my hand now and i bet he know what he did wrong.
But for this maybe we find a other way to compensate you for the pain he had bring to you me lady.
In my privat collection i got some "spezial" weapons,which culd interesting you.
But therefor i wuld like to meet you personelly then we can talk about this privat.
I will keep a bottle of my best Wine for you me lady.
I'm glad to hear that you find the terms acceptable. We can meet in space to make the first payment face to face. I'll also be transferring you a special communication device for direct future contact.
As for the supplies, we're looking for the following on a monthly basis:
Quote:Quantity 5,000 units each:
Food
Water
Oxygen
Light Arms
Pharmaceuticals
Basic alloys
In regards to the post script, I'll track the lubber down myself and deal with him. However, when we meet in space, I'd be interested to hear about these guns you're referring to.
it was good to meet face to face today. I'm glad we were able to meet in person to seal our agreement over a glass of wine. It was an excellent vintage you provided.
I'll note here for the record that the payment was received by me personally. I'll inform you where to send the future monthly payments, recurring on the 18th. A receipt image showing the transfer will be acceptable.
For your trade ships bringing the supplies, have them post here with their cam images verifying delivery. For any other matters of immediate import, you can contact us via the comm system we have already established.
Regards,
Aine Moore
Molly Council

This will help us alot me lady,and since the sairs make a bad game with the Mollys at the fields of aramore the work are even harder now.
And yes me lady Moore we hear from that desaster what the Corsairs bring to you.
Therfore i like to offer you some.
How you know is FTU really good with the ore business,spezial in gold ore.
How would you like that FTU will mine in future Gold ore for the Mollys and therefore we lower the
monthly payment from 200 .- millions to 100.- million credits.
FTU will mine minimum 40.000 units and maximum 100.000 units of gold ore free to the mollys.
And this will be deliverd ready for the transport directly to Aramore,to your Ore Storages.
Tell me how you like this offer,my comms are always open for you.
Looking forward for the great business we have now and in future.
With the best Regards,
for Free Trader United

By now you're well aware of the raid that caused us to lose one of our fields near the Omega 49 jump hole. Several ships were damaged but not destroyed and we've made the necessary repairs to Arranmore from our stock of supplies.
However, I'd like to restock our warehouses. Thus, for the month of February, I'll reduce the monthly fee to 100 million credits if FTU will be able to double its usual amount of supplies. That should put us well into our normal war time stockpile for use if supplies should get cut off for any reason.
Make the payment to [M]-Bank1 as usual. Since I'm asking for double the amount of goods for this month, I'll extend the due date for February by another week, possibly two if needed.
For the month of March all will be back to regular schedule.
