[font=Comic Sans Ms] It's been a considerable span of time since we last communicated. While the trade in cardamine has been of a great financial boon to our organization I have, in recent times, felt that our resources might be of greater use to the Nation.
Furthermore, it's been some time since we've tended to the always fragile bonds of association.
If the Maltese people wishes we are standing by to negotiate another round of commercial exchange to rejuvenate our slowly cooling historic friendship.

Timothy leaned back in his command couch, staring at the message and double checking those pesky keywords which could get him in ever so much trouble.
Well. That was the balsiest time saver I've ever employed.

Greetings, Mr. Rhyme,
Your message has been relayed to the High Command and as soon as Administrator Jameson, Admiral Fawley and myself get a chance to discuss about it, you will get an official response regarding this matter.
Rommer out!

[Subject: An offer]
Good day.
Let me first tell you how dreadfully sorry I am to have left you with nothing to do for us, we did not require your services until now. I can, however compensate for this by offering you quite a prize should you manage to live up to the high expectations I have for you.
We require components for our ships. To be more precise:
- 17500 units of neon
- 15000 units of engine components
- 12500 units of platinum
- 12500 units of smuggled software
- 12500 units of super conductors
- 10000 units of hull plating
- 10000 units of optronics
- 8500 units of irridium
- 5000 nuclear warheads
I am sure you will be able to arrange this for us... and perhaps we will discuss the prize further once you are done.
[font=Comic Sans Ms] That's an order of no great consequence. With half of Sirius bristling at the Corsair's door the shipment of goods to Malta barely warrants use of the term 'effort'.

Greetings Administrator,
It has been a pleasure bringing in the supplies you have requested. I have been met with nothing less than utmost courtesy during my visits to Malta, let alone the hospitality of the patrons of the planetside bar. I have attached for your perusal the cargo manifests of my last shipments. However, one of them is missing due to a jump hole docking manuver and a cup of coffee. If required, I shall delivery another load if nescessary.
The Pilot of the [IND]Financial.Backbone will also be submitting his cargo manifests as well.
[font=Comic Sans Ms] Well let's calculate where we are. Half a moment.
- 17500 units of neon - 23220, keep the change.
- 15000 units of engine components - 17400, keep the change.
- 12500 units of platinum - 13300, keep the change.
- 12500 units of smuggled software - 14180, keep the change.
- 12500 units of super conductors - 12500.
- 10000 units of hull plating - 2290
- 10000 units of optronics - 10000.
- 8500 units of irridium - 9360, keep the change.
- 5000 nuclear warheads - 6870, keep the change.
Right then. That'll be another half moment for the last of the panels and we'll have settled accounts.
In Addition, this was the last piece of our contract here.
We delivered 11850 Ship Hull Panels. And please.. Keep the change!
Furthermore it was a pleasure to deal with you and your great nation.
Please dont hesitate to ask if there is something we can do for you in the future.
On behalf of the Independent Neuralnet Department,
yours sincerely,
