Universal Exports would like to inquire as to the possibility of an arrangement between your organization and ours, in regards to recent events, where one of our vessels were "taxed" by a Marauder vessel.
Rather than post bounties and risk profit loss for both of us, we propose a deal: You leave our ships (Registry tag [UX]) alone, and we are willing to pay you a monthly fee for this service.
Ah, '[UE]'. That rings a bell, one of my pilots did inform me about this.
Before any substantial agreements are made, I would like to know one thing: how much do you propose to pay per month to avoid us shooting you?
10 Million? That's not even enough for a fully armed Collector!
If you wish to get us to abstain from stealing from you, via you appeasing us with credits, you need to be more serious. Or in terms of respect, are the Marauders only worth 10 measly million in your eyes?
I'll throw you a suggestion of a minimum that might suffice; 200,000,000 Sirian credits per month to be sent to us. 10 million is nothing to us in a period of a month. I, alone, can make 10 million credits in a few minutes off whatever unfortunate loaded with a bunch of ores happens to cross my path.
Consider my offer, your reply will be directly proportional to your safety.
As I said, it was a starting offer. It was not meant as a sign of disrespect.
That said, I am afraid that at the moment, 200 million is too rich for our blood. My counteroffer is 100 million per month. Once our earnings are up in gear, we will be able to increase the payment.
100 Million per month with interest eh? That sounds reasonable. Pay us 100 million this month, then the next month pay 100 million with a 10% increase, and so on for the following months until you reach 200 Million. Once 200 million is reached, the payment will be frozen at that value.
If you agree to this, send cash to JM|-Bank#1 .
From: Jack Morrows, CEO To: Grand Marauder Subject: Our agreement
Greetings.
Your payment is on the way, but our wiring service are experiencing some technical issues. They will be there shortly.
At this time, I would like to propose a change in our agreement. Rather than simply leaving our ships alone, we would like to hire you to provide security for said ships while they pass through the Tau systems, specifically Tau-23, Tau-37 and Tau-29. What do you say.
