Dear Ms. Elena Voigt and Mr. Nick Stenn,

I am glad that you are already working on building the unit I requested. I am happy that you are as eager we are about our possible partnership, and I am sure Mr. Stenn will prove to be a successful commander for our force.

However, I was expecting you to give me a price by now. I thought I could ease your burden further and pay you both for the costs of creating such a unit, and afterwards the maintenance of it, as it is expensive to have a standing army made up of professionals especially for a mercenary group with no stable income, no matter the size of the unit.

But we can do it the way you wish as well, just suggest me the price and the manner you wish our deal to be. As long as we have our unit ready once we need them, we do not mind.

As for the matter of technology sharing, this kind of an arrangement needs to wait for the time being. We can not think of a technology we might be in need of from your group, neither do we deal in things like ships and weaponry, which you might find interesting. Since if I had the weapons and vessels, I would not need to make a deal with you and I would arm my own marines and pilots.

On the other hand, I plan to include other organizations in this opportunity soon enough, and I can put in a good word for you and buy from them the tech you need for your own use in a future evolution of our deal. Or you might do this yourselves, with the opportunity to make new alliances provided to you as we struggle for a common project.

Eagerly awaiting your response.

Adrian Thrax
