Good Day Mr Donovan.

My name is Caitlyn Cross and I am the Chairwoman of Orbital Spa and Cruise. I have to admit that I am pleasantly surprised to see a Freelancer Startup working in the passenger business. That sure reminds me of my days as an Independent Orbital Spa and Cruise Capitan in the Borderworlds, it was a nice time and I hold these memories in high regard.

As for your Mention of a Low-Cost Passenger Service, I can inform you that we indeed offer such a service. But it is more like a side business for us as we transport these passengers on the lower Decks of our Liners in economy-class cabins. These Passengers often travel only from A to B and are not really on board for the Cruise Experience. Some of these are simple Travelers while others move into a new Life. Sometimes we also have Special Flights for these Passengers, for Example Ships that fly out into the border and bring adventurous people into a new Life.

But this kind of Passenger Transport is only a Small Portion of our Passenger business and mostly we either do Real Cruises or some Ferry Flights to the Liners and Planets in Orbital's possession. So we would not mind Hiring your Startup for some of these Routes that bring us only a Meager Profit compared to the detour that we have to fly for them.

As for being a Competitor, I can tell you that I see this like my Predecessor in the Seat of the Chairman, he lived by the motto that "A Rising Tide Lifts all Boats". Therefore I don't see you as a competitor at the Current time and more like a Support for our business.

As you have asked for Routes or a Contract for Passenger Transport I have to ask you what kind of vessels your Startup operates and what kind of equipment they have, as well as what kind of Training the Crews have. As I already mentioned we Operate in all Systems of Sirius and Gallia, this also includes the Borderworlds. As you might know, the Borderworlds especially are one of the Most Dangerous Areas of Known Space. They are a place where the Law and the Civilized Behaviour is seldom Present. If I am allowed to use a Quote from an old earth Sailing Map then the Borderworlds would be the Place that were labeled with the Words "there be Dragons". I don't want to offer you a Contract that would send your Ships and the Passengers and Crew into their Certain Deaths so I hope you understand my Caution in this Regard.

But should you Manage to meet our Standards then we can forge a Stable and Lucrative Business Relationship that lasts for a long While.

Safe Skys,
Caitlyn Cross
