after making a small fortune in trading deals and several mining operations as a diligent employee of Samura Heavy Industries I, Kyaputen Kuni, decided to invest in advanced equipment to further help the great house of Kusari prosper and increase its influence.

We gladly received your offer to help us in this endeavour.

After careful examination of our options to acquire this kind of equipment we would ask you for the following services.
「Jump Drive MK IV」hitotsu to 「Survey Module MK II 」hitotsu ga kōnyū onegaishimasu.「Jump Drive MK III」o karitai no desu ga. [AutoTranslation in progress...3 2..1.. I would kindly request the construction of a Jump Drive MK IV, Survey Module MK II, while additionally renting a Jump Drive MK III for the duration of the construction process.]

I am hoping for a good cooperation and will wait for your answer regarding this request.

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. [AutoTranslation...‘very polite farewell‘]

Raul Golden examined message to him with grinning, finding amusement in the really vivid language. It reminded him about one person which has no borders in getting fun and slashing bureaucracy to fulfill his dreams.

Greetings dear, Kuni-san.

This is our dream, to make jump technologies shared through Sirius, so everyone could eliminate the burden to travel a very long time through trade lanes or empty space. We would gladly help you with the order.

We could rent you Jump Drive MK3, so you could deliver far located resources. Considering engine value and additional possible losses due to initialized device constructions, we request 600 million credits being transferred to SolarBank for temporal holding.

Additionally, we would provide you with a bonus in a package of hyper coordinates to necessary locations for free to fulfill your order.

Once you fulfill your side of the contract and transfer back our MK3 jump drive, we would return you 550 million credits, together with constructed Jump Drive MK4 and Hyper Survey MK2 device.

I hope those are acceptable terms for you and you will become a person which can break distances between stars.

Best regards, Raul Golden administrator
Interstellar Beacon branch of Genesis Research Group.

Greetings Raul-San

The deposit you kindly asked for was made and the Jump Drive III you arranged for us is of high quality and will help us fulfilling our part in our subarasii deal.
We already started making deliveries to Interstellar Beacon today and the merchants of our hanbai·mō have sent an invoice to me that the Beacon seems to be filled with materials at the moment.

I hope we will work together in the future.

Also, if you want just call me Tomikun.

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

Raul Golden appeared with semi-holographic tablet setting timetables.

We will try to resolve the problem as soon as possible. At the moment station has 128k free cargo space and finishes an order from a previous client for Hyperspace Matrix. All is left to get 13'2000 Critical Temperature Alloy and 1000 Gravity Field Stabilizers, we expect to get them today from our previous customer to finish his order.

This makes temporally busy Hyperspace Scanner Factory, but we already placed in a queue Hyperspace Survey MK2, which would start immediately when Hyperspace Matrix is finished.

JumpDrive MK4 construction we plan to start today when mentioned above two materials would arrive. It can't be done earlier due to specialists being busy finishing the last parts of the Hyperspace Matrix and its calibration.

We are sorry for the delay and will correct it as soon as possible. On a happy note, we finished hyper surveying all coordinates for jump trade deliveries and already sent the package with data for five locations.

There is almost nothing withholding to continue receiving materials for Hyper Survey MK2, except limited free space until matrix is finished and at the moment we can report the next status of gathered necessities for it:

• 14'412/156,000 Reinforced Alloy (Not enough space)
• 31'053/20,000 Industrial Hardware (finished)
• 31'276/15,000 Optronic Arrays (finished)
• 19'040/10,000 Quantum Arrays (finished)
• 0/15,000 Robotic Hardware (Ready to accept)

The best course of action would be taking a small rest today, before continuing in full capacity.

Or we could also start receiving some resources for the planned Jump Drive MK4
• 0/110,000 Reinforced Alloy (Not enough space)
• 0/5,000 Gravity Field Stabilizers (Busy by Matrix)
• 0/10,000 Critical Temperature Alloy (Busy by Matrix)
• 11'053/30,000 Industrial Hardware (Ready to accept)
• 0/25,000 Robotic Hardware (Ready to accept)
• 512/35,000 Argentium Silver (Ready to accept)
• 390/15,000 Magnetic Superconductors (Ready to accept)

We would like also to point that you delivered twice more of Optronic Arrays and Quantum Arrays than necessary, did you plan to build another Hyper Survey Module or it was a mistake? I think we can compensate with credits in the second case.

We would advise to check the number of delivered materials in the station storages, to be not repeating the mistake twice. We have sent you authorization codes.

We are happy to announce finishing working with the previous client and we are ready to concentrate our full power on dealings with you. The base has already plenty of free cargo space, which quickly becomes increased in capacity with every minute.

To finish HS MK2 and JD MK4 all is left to complete the next list of materials:

• Reinforced Alloy 0/236'600 (Pennsylvania, Philadelphia)
  
• Magnetic Superconductors 390/15'000 (Colorado, Pueblo Station)
  
• Gravity Field Stabilizers 15/5'000 (Colorado, Pueblo Station)
  
• Critical Temperature Alloy 1'820/10'000 (Frankfurt, Planet Holstein)
  
• Argentum Silver 18'990/35'000 (Cologne Research Station)
  
• Industrial Hardware 26'054/30'000 (New York, Trenton)
