It has been quite some time since I have had the chance to talk to the inhabitants of Islay, or to visit the Green Hell....ah, by gone days. It seems that even the Gaians I knew once have fallen by the wayside, Sean, Moria, Silvy. I dont even know who to address this transmission to. Alas, enough reminiscing, and back to the point at hand. It has been quite some time since IND has checked in on the Gaians, to see to any needs you may have, and issues that might need to be discussed, and commodities you are looking for at Islay. I apologize that its been this long since we have sought you out, not necessarily how we in the IND try to treat our friends, and we do consider the Gaians friends, and I am here to try and rectify our oversight.

Dear Mister Jethro,
There are several commodities that we import, but save for the occasional junker or Corsair transport we rarely receive shipments.
H-Fuel is first and most important of Islay's imports. Supplies of H-Fuel are strained in our sector of Sirius as it is, and the occasional shipment from a Junker is barely enough to sustain the daily patrols in Edinburgh and security in Lewis let alone any offensive operations.
Though a number of Gaians practice alternative medicines, pharmaceuticals are a vital and seldom delivered commodity. These are especially required at Islay.
As for weapons - we import munitions to Islay, Holmfirth, and Skye in small quantities in order to keep our operatives armed.
Artifacts are a secondary import at Islay. While some of the artifacts are studied by Gaian scientists, most eventually find their way to Liberty markets. Counterfeit software is another secondary import at Islay, since we rarely do business with corporations.
That covers some of the basic commodities. As for the more 'exotic,' there is a small but prevalent demand for additional resources. Polymers are being used for research at Skye base, but are not required in massive quantities. And of course, Plutonium is imported to Skye for use in nuclear reactors. Some parties on Holmfirth base have also taken interest in Cryocube technology, though this import is not vital to the Gaian cause.
We require several goods for our operations in Lewis, but I will not reveal the details unless you express interest...
Also Mister Jethro, I should let you know that there is a formidable market for synthetic cannabis on all Gaian stations - but I will not pressure you to indulge me and my fellow ents.
Konnichiwa Mr Hunt, the IND will have no problem filling your needs in all of your bases, including Lewis if you wish, as we are happy to deliver to anywhere you will have us. If you would care to draw up a more specific list of how much you need of what commodities, and where it needs to go, my pilots will have your needs met in no time.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and as a gift, there is a load of Cannabis on it's way to Islay right now.

Dear Mister Jethro,
I've finally coordinated with the Gaian commodity dealers and put together a comprehensive list of supplies we require and where they must be delivered. As our monetary resources are plentiful relative to our supplies, I am prepared to offer rewards based on completion speed.
Based on its accomplishments, NLH will present IND with one of the following awards:
For completing the 'required' and 'desired' shipments by November 1st: 100,000,000 credits
For completing the 'required' and 'desired' shipments by December 1st: 90,000,000 credits
For completing the 'required' and 'desired' shipments in any time frame: 80,000,000 credits
For completing the 'required' shipments by November 1st: 50,000,000 credits
For completing the 'required' shipments by December 1st: 30,000,000 credits
For completing the 'required' shipments in any time frame: 20,000,000 credits
For participation (minimum of four total shipments): 10,000,000 credits
The deal looks perfect, although I think you might not have an appropriate understanding of just how quick the IND work. Either way, you should be pleased with the outcome. First item complete,
CSoftware- Islay - Amount Requested: 9000 units - Amount Delivered: 12000 units.
Keep the change of course.

Greetings and Salutations Mr Hunt,
I just wanted to update you on our progress of your order. The pharmaceutical order for Islay Base has been completed with a little bonus as well. Your desired quantity has been met with an additional 2340 units free of charge. I am attaching my flight manifest for your perusal.
We decided to not get you one of those, found in the Omicrons.
We decided to get our hands on one of those, found in the Bretonian space. Rare, expensive but definitely worth it **
So let me get the things together.
We still need to deliver 1 round of Plutonium and 12.000units of Synth Marij. to Islay.
Time to head out again.
Recipient: Mr.Hunt

Greetings Mr Hunt,
It is my pleasure to inform you of the completion of your order. While your request spanned three different systems, we were able to finish it up within a few days. I do hope this timeframe met with your approval.
I am attaching my flight logs for your supply officers.
Given the rather information dense nature of my associate's last transmission there is a possibility that his announcement, the efficient completion of our contract, escaped attention.
It is our hope that this display of expediency impressed our services upon the Green Front, opening the possibility of further exchanges of goods and services in addition to free blessing to make what use we may of the space you control. Naturally such use of space would fall under the expectations granted towards guests, that we do not upset the home into which we have been invited.
