Greetings,
I am Ikeda Yume of the Gen'an Chrysanthemums.
We have located your base in the Niobium Ore mining field of Tau 23. It is one of the 3 bases currently within our scope for demolition. However, yours stands out as it has no weapon platforms in place, so it currently poses no threat to our operations.
We will offer you the chance to cooperate. Do so and we will leave your base alone if you agree to the following.
- We need to know your affiliation.
- You will not have dealings with Samura or Kishiro
- You will refrain from building defensive platforms.
- You will pay 50 million credits each month to Gen'an.Bank

Incoming Suppressed Transmission from Tau-23
Ikarus Storage Facility 03, Tau Branch of Junkers
Junker designation: JK-46, Venk speaking.
Surprised to hear another transmission, thought the Outcasts and the Gallic Enclave were going to be the end of it.
My base is a very new installation, I'm surprised other individuals have setup their operations here as well.
You'll be pleased to hear that I don't intend to install any weapons platforms. Welcoming business, not scaring
it away is what I want to do when it comes to dealing in Niobium Ore. Being the sole operator of this base,
I'd really like to keep my home here in Tau-23.
I've enlisted help from Imperial, Gateway and Universal shipping companies for help with repairs and the
improvement of my base. Dealings with Samura and Kishiro are already off the table.
When it comes to who I work for, it's the Junkers. They don't have any footholds on this side of Kusari, so
I put this little station together myself in order to help them operate in this sector.
About your terms, I'm already operating within all of your demands. Seems there's a bit of luck there.
But being an indie Junker base, I'd like the chance to negotiate on a lower price,
with other conditions you may have in mind.

We came across your base by accident during a routine patrol.
Code:
[20.08.2020 19:40:47] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Well well
[20.08.2020 19:40:48] 2020-08-20 19:40:44 SMT Traffic control alert: Alan.Walcott has requested to dock
This buzzing radio feed is how we caught your scent. A quick sweep of the area reveiled the 3 bases in the area of the Niobium ore mining field. Now we aren't exactly sure what base sent out that signal, but it was an interesting find.
You are the only one of the bases without weapon platforms installed, which is why we are now talking. The others will soon find us knocking on the door with torpedoes. Regarding your affilition with the Junkers, you are in luck. Junkers are not on our hostile list. I am willing to negotiate. What do you have in mind? Just see it as a good opportunity. We are about to destroy your competition in the area.

Your black box logs surprise me! Mr. Walcott is one of the ships I've hired from Gateway to help me out!
He docked on my base to deliver materials for repairs. Walcott has been making frequent rounds of
Hull Segments, so I'm not surprised you bumped into him.
Before we get into the negotiations, I'd like to ask one question. If us Junkers aren't on any hostile list with
the GC, what's your relationship with the Outcasts? I signed a contract with them not too long ago.
Was hoping maybe this contract can come into consideration when talking about our additional terms.

That Walcott is a stubborn one. Never paying whenever passing through Kusari. It costs him less to just pay our pilots instead of choosing the selfdestruction option. I mean all those wasted resources floating in space.

Stubborn or not, I'd like his help. Before we talk more on that, it's lucky the Outcasts didn't
encrypt the transmissions they sent out. Got the full logs right here. Sending package now.

Seems like you spoke the truth. Your honesty is appreciated.
As the Maltese have legalised your installation, we shall treat it as such aswell. Therefore the Gen'an GC will not bother you with additional taxes upon those that ImpCo already agreed with you.
We stick to our original requirements:
You will not have dealings with Samura or Kishiro
You will refrain from building defensive platforms.
Additionally we will add the requirement:
GC- tagged vessels are allowed to dock and have access to your services at any time
