LOCATION: Wichter Station, Sigma-15
SUBJECT: Waste disposal
ENCRYPTION: High

Herr Dante, I am pleased to make your acquaintance.
I will honestly say that I am surprised our reputation has reached as far as to have been picked up by Zoner ears. It is quite impressive that you have managed to set up a refining operation in Galileo, and I can see how the byproducts would be challenging to remove en masse. Fortunately, I have recently received a report about the viability of the neighboring Shikoku as a waypoint on our updated trade routes. While we did not plan on passing through Galileo, I am quite certain that a short transit to load in the waste byproducts won't give our Security department too much of a headache.

However, I must mention our policy of not getting involved with entities operating outside of formal lawful structures. While I am sure your Freeport 12 has rules and organization, I would prefer not to put my people at risk by associating them with criminal factions. SEO can handle itself on an individual ship basis, but I am not prepared to support operations which are frequented by criminal elements. If you are aware of such factions using your facilities as anything more than a quick refueling stop, then it would be best for you too look elsewhere for your waste disposal needs.

Now, regarding the wording of a potential contract - SEO is open to the deal you propose regarding discounts, with an additional pay structure. As you can imagine, any refinery operation can make use of our services, but there is only so much transportation tonnage and personnel available to SEO. Therefore, I propose a trial period - the first 50,000 units to be priced at 2 SC per unit, with a renewal to be negotiated upon completion of that contract. In order to encourage you to accept, I am also willing to send out a number of construction personnel from Koepchen to evaluate your storage procedures. These people lived and breathed near or in radioactive warehouses for month-long shifts, so I am sure you will find them enlightening.

I urge you to take my points under advisement, and respond back in the case that you are still willing to do business. We can then set a final number to the tonnage amount of our trial contract, and any additional requirements that we agree on.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Adam Linhardt
