I present record of discussion with Arbiter James Trenton of the Junker's Congress. While returning from a run to Liberty, he spoke with me of possible dealings. I hope I have successfully impressed upon him that relations with us are not the same as relations with other Maltese organizations, or that our relations with other Junkers are not relations with the Congress.
Code:
[28.08.2014 05:02:57] .:j:.JunkTow: Ola amigo! I was thinking senor. Even tho I feel we've earned our stripes without all the construction we've done in Alpha
[28.08.2014 05:03:22] .:j:.JunkTow: You hombres we haven't dealt with yet.
[28.08.2014 05:03:57] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: First, we are not hombres. We are not common scum, do refer to us as such.
[28.08.2014 05:04:13] .:j:.JunkTow: Whoa wait a min.. no disrespect
[28.08.2014 05:04:34] .:j:.JunkTow: i say it as a "tough dude"
[28.08.2014 05:04:42] .:j:.JunkTow: not some common scum
[28.08.2014 05:05:00] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: You may address as Maltese, or preferably, as Lancieres.
[28.08.2014 05:05:03] CL}CT-Palermo: *us
[28.08.2014 05:05:56] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Second, we have no issue with your export of the orange. Merely your method.
[28.08.2014 05:06:13] .:j:.JunkTow: Well I always called Outcasts hermanos or amigos. We've been very close to many other familia's of Alpha
[28.08.2014 05:06:25] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Imagine a Kusari Battleship arriving in Puerto Rico captained by us.
[28.08.2014 05:06:34] .:j:.JunkTow: We wouldnt turn you all away
[28.08.2014 05:06:50] .:j:.JunkTow: Were not against the Outcasts in anyway mi casa su casa
[28.08.2014 05:06:54] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Hnnn. I find that unlikely.
[28.08.2014 05:06:59] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: But as you say.
[28.08.2014 05:07:04] .:j:.JunkTow: Its been that way for years amigo
[28.08.2014 05:07:26] .:j:.JunkTow: I assure you we have not been about turning away our associates when they mean us no harm and only wish to do
[28.08.2014 05:07:32] .:j:.JunkTow: business with us.
[28.08.2014 05:07:56] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: You may conduct your business within the bounds established by Maltese law.
[28.08.2014 05:08:13] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: We have no issue with those who export the orange dream.
[28.08.2014 05:08:43] .:j:.JunkTow: Which we always have.. but it seems your wanting it changed. Long ago we were allowed but you all changed that
[28.08.2014 05:09:11] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: It would appear that the Ghosts have spoken on the matter, signore.
[28.08.2014 05:09:15] .:j:.JunkTow: I just wonder where this misguided distrust of those that have built bases even assisting in Albion light
[28.08.2014 05:09:29] .:j:.JunkTow: Using this same ship and method
[28.08.2014 05:09:34] .:j:.JunkTow: but as you say..
[28.08.2014 05:09:36] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: You speak of business done with others. Why would this matter to us?
[28.08.2014 05:09:47] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: We are not they, nor are they us.
[28.08.2014 05:09:59] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Surely this is understood.
[28.08.2014 05:10:08] .:j:.JunkTow: Cause they should be your kinfolks and brethren. Your all from the same cloth Outcasts I thought
[28.08.2014 05:10:27] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: We are Maltese, true. Not all pursue the same goals or methods.
[28.08.2014 05:10:45] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: The Cross do not pursue Contari interests, nor we theirs.
[28.08.2014 05:10:55] .:j:.JunkTow: I wasnt talking about them
[28.08.2014 05:10:59] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: I would not leave one to a Hunter, however.
[28.08.2014 05:11:30] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: I merely explain that our interests are not aligned, but we do not cast them aside in their need.
[28.08.2014 05:11:58] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: The Marauders, are they not Junkers? Do you align with their interests?
[28.08.2014 05:12:03] .:j:.JunkTow: anyway.. I was attempting to offer some sort of business arrangement and wasnt my intent to argue our side with you
[28.08.2014 05:12:35] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: I wish you to understand that work for others is not work for us, and has no bearing on anything to us.
[28.08.2014 05:12:57] .:j:.JunkTow: I will not agree that it shouldn't but if that is how you feel then so be it.
[28.08.2014 05:13:12] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: As if we were to work with Marauders, would you accept that as sufficient for your purposes?
[28.08.2014 05:13:12] .:j:.JunkTow: You never dock at Albion Light then?
[28.08.2014 05:13:30] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: I have seen no need to step foot on that station.
[28.08.2014 05:13:34] .:j:.JunkTow: Ok
[28.08.2014 05:13:49] .:j:.JunkTow: So there ya have it. Nothing weve ever done directly benefited you.
[28.08.2014 05:13:50] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: This is not to say we cannot make deals in the future.
[28.08.2014 05:14:13] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: But do not lean on things that have no bearing to our interests.
[28.08.2014 05:14:20] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Agreed?
[28.08.2014 05:15:16] .:j:.JunkTow: Excuse me your trying to say all of our work is null and no i wont say that. IF JM said you were welcomed at Spire I would have
[28.08.2014 05:15:27] .:j:.JunkTow: to respect that.
[28.08.2014 05:15:49] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Is it not the Marauder facility?
[28.08.2014 05:16:06] .:j:.JunkTow: its a junker base
[28.08.2014 05:16:15] .:j:.JunkTow: just as rochester or beaumont
[28.08.2014 05:16:27] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: You set policy on the Spire?
[28.08.2014 05:18:03] .:j:.JunkTow: Negative and thankfully dont have to maintain it. Does that make it less Junker?
[28.08.2014 05:18:36] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: It does not, but it means I do not address you with respect to it, for you have no influence on its standing.
[28.08.2014 05:19:15] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Do you allow the Marauders to speak for your stations in Puerto Rico, or are they Congress stations?
[28.08.2014 05:19:58] .:j:.JunkTow: Anyway.. sorry I will not say all that we have done should have no bearing on what is happening now.
[28.08.2014 05:20:00] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: If I wished access, would I talk to them, or to you?
[28.08.2014 05:20:24] .:j:.JunkTow: Your getting way off the topic.. our operation was mutually beneficial and on going for years.
[28.08.2014 05:20:27] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Perhaps if you answer my question, you will have perspective on my answer.
[28.08.2014 05:20:54] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Would I talk with Marauders for access to the modular bases in Puerto Rico?
[28.08.2014 05:20:59] .:j:.JunkTow: I've answered what it is relevant
[28.08.2014 05:21:33] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: It seems then that if you understand my question, you understand my answer.
[28.08.2014 05:21:35] .:j:.JunkTow: Your saying our work in the past has no bearing on the future. Just because it didnt involve you all. I wanted to change that
[28.08.2014 05:21:47] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: We are open to future business, signore.
[28.08.2014 05:21:56] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: If you wish to work with us on it.
[28.08.2014 05:22:18] .:j:.JunkTow: Well I am not sure of what you all may need?
[28.08.2014 05:22:27] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: As to what, I do not know myself.
[28.08.2014 05:22:53] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: We do not mantain, or intend to maintain, modular stations.
[28.08.2014 05:23:27] .:j:.JunkTow: well give it some thought. Perhaps you may have something that needs to be done.
[28.08.2014 05:23:54] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Perhaps scrapping work at some point.
[28.08.2014 05:24:14] .:j:.JunkTow: You guys already have that
[28.08.2014 05:24:36] .:j:.JunkTow: all you need to do is dock at LF in PR and get a load of p.scrap
[28.08.2014 05:24:47] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Collection is not something we can do, and the Spire is not always open.
[28.08.2014 05:24:53] .:j:.JunkTow: LF is
[28.08.2014 05:25:01] .:j:.JunkTow: and always filled with p.scrap
[28.08.2014 05:25:19] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Hnnn. If you grant access, I will see if we can not find time to visit.
[28.08.2014 05:25:26] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: What prices do you offer?
[28.08.2014 05:25:49] .:j:.JunkTow: Let me check I believe you already have access tho
[28.08.2014 05:26:25] .:j:.JunkTow: yep your already cleared at LF
[28.08.2014 05:26:33] .:j:.JunkTow: you should come by PR and check it out
[28.08.2014 05:26:48] .:j:.JunkTow: 4k for the p.scrap buy or sell
[28.08.2014 05:27:33] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: The prices at Valetta have fallen recently. Your price may be, high, for us.
[28.08.2014 05:27:49] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: We shall keep it mind, however.
[28.08.2014 05:28:28] .:j:.JunkTow: What else can you sell in Alpha for 5900 profit per unit?
[28.08.2014 05:28:43] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: I did not catch a name. You are?
[28.08.2014 05:29:19] .:j:.JunkTow: The name is James Trenton Arbiter for the Junker Congress and owner of JunkerTown fleet most call me 'JT'
[28.08.2014 05:29:37] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Drago Celestino, Familiare, Contari Lance.
[28.08.2014 05:30:09] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Signore Celestino or Familiare Celestino will do.
[28.08.2014 05:30:22] .:j:.JunkTow: Muy bueno.. Its good to meet you Signore!
[28.08.2014 05:30:32] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: Hnn.
[28.08.2014 05:31:01] CL}CT-Palermo: Drago: My business is at an end today. Addio, Signore Trenton.
[28.08.2014 05:31:37] .:j:.JunkTow: Adios Drago
Perhaps business can be made with them after all.
Addio.
