*Achille straightens his necktie*
"Ah, my sprightly companions from the lower Taus; bonjour. Now, embedding my nose in another's anus for the purpose of deriving a self-serving favour has never been my particular forte, but I was just pondering over the practicalities of a certain mutual trade-based exchange, hm?"
"Briefly put, would it be mutually acceptable if a certain pilot of the Commonwealth Commerce division was provided the entitlement to appropriate twenty five metric tonnes of that mysterious toxic waste that comes as a direct bi-product of intensive scrubby breeding; 'Scrubby crap', from Sedona station? A certain birdie informed me that that particular substance happens to render yeast spores rather virile - a financially attractive prospect for our associated liaisons within the fermentation industry."
"To this effect, I request that the CW is permitted one-time access to Sedona Station, Devon cloud, Baffin. In return, well... how about a selection of ah, 'repatriated' Gallic nanocapacitators?"
"Merci mon amis."

Kallisti there!
I am Professor Louis Carlisle, Head of the Baffin Research Institute in Shasta Orbital Skyhook.
There is no trouble in allowing our esteemed neighbors from the upper Taus to procure twenty-five... twenty-five isn't it? Metric tonnes of "Scrubbie crap"...
I believe one shipment of a transport filled with Scrubbies is enough to provide you with that amount and even more, Monsieur. You see, these organisms thrive in almost any environment! The only requirement that they need is sunlight... or at the minimum being exposed to any source of light for 2 hours a day.
I assume your transports do not have the required equipment for this? If so, I can arrange a WHALE to ship 4,900 specially designed, already filled containers for your convenience.
"A proposal worthy of a true philanthropist Monsieur Carlisle, but I fear that we, in our comparatively insignificant logistical capabilities up here at '10 may be sorely-pressed to accommodate such a vast influx. Besides Sir (as your memory may serve you to remember), we have already pre-acquired a number of those pre-aforementioned biological powerhouses from you and yours a number of months ago, and at the current rate of scrubb-ie (apologies for my previous pronunciative err) growth we cannot dispose to the slimy barst*rds rapidly enough. No Sir, what we require is slightly more intricate, and, indeed, perhaps less evidently purposeful..."
*Slides an immaculate finger over the displays*
"As you may observe, a picture is worth a thousand words and less prone to misinterpretation. what we desire are not the scrubbies themselves, but the noxious effluents produced from the Sedona Scrubby/ie ranch itself, to supplement our own particular stockpile of the material."
*Grins amiably*
"So Sir, I'd recommend you de-crew that marvellous ZXBT of yours, and find an alternative buyer for it's cargo as both the quantity listed is a trifle excessive and may prove disingenuous to us both - I would not wish to tax you the H-fuel. Instead it'd be a pleasure to send a pilot of my own, say, to negate the risk of transport".
"As to that deplorable element of commerce, the 'pay off', I'd be entirely willing to route to Sedona - via the selfsame pilot - an equal quantity of whatever Gallic commodity you actively desire".
"So brother, are my terms tastefully tangible? So do enlighten one."

Kallisti!
Ah! You are quite correct indeed. I did issue a transport clearance from one of our trade captains to your freeport months ago... Why I don't remember it clearly is one of the few trivial matters regarding the many things I handle from day to day. Well, thank you for reminding me of such things.
As for the misunderstanding, Eris is quite the player in such matters. Jokes aside, I have spoken with the people in charge of security and they seem to be favorable towards allowing one of your transports in.
*pauses*
Now, for the commodity to be exchanged, while any amount and any kind of Gallic commodity is a welcoming sight for our Popes.... there is something more... intangible we wish to acquire.
You see, with the shifting of... political and military influences in the region, our trade maps have been considered obsolete and thus require updating. If you could provide us with some of your greatly "flax providing" routes, we will then forgo the option of return commodity in exchange for trade knowledge.
Intangible assets provide the most benefit, Oui?
23's!

"Trade route information? Sir, I would be happy to disclose as such but that particular nugget is one we hold particularly close to our collectivised chests..."
"Tell you what monsuier, I'll route the transmission to Autoine's office - he, after all, would be able to provide the datathreads you request. As for the transport's arrival, expect the vessel's in-system apperance before this particular twenty-four hour cycle has rendered its completion".
*Jabs the keypad in quick succession*.
"...A moment friend, oh, and would it prove impertinent a demand to request that you stick to the linguistics of your birth? French ill-becomes you."

Bonsoir, my most exquisite member of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners who finds himself in an extravagant circumstance of conducting illustrious propositions for the advancement of science, undoubtedly, with my most ardent member of my fraternity, found most often under the connotation of Achille.
Now, in order not to find myself subject to being permanently found under connotations similar to that of a "party pooper" , " an impediment in the progress of science and wellbeing of the Commonwealth " as well as " an incorrigible imbecile " I shall take liberty in appealing to your otherwise undoubtedly cantankerous desires you exude forth, with a lavish smile "literally" carved on my face. Not to mention I honestly believe that this honest exchange of trivialities and logistical, as well as scientific information and perhaps materials ( to the expectations of Achille ) would prove chivalrous to the relationship of our two organizations, bringing them closer.
I believe you may be familiarized with the news regarding the Freeport 4 in Magellan, non? Well, I must confess that most of our convoys find themselves leaving entirely empty from the confines of Freeport 10, only to return with precious supplies manifested under Oxygen, Water and Personal Sustenance supplies from Planet Harris. Previous administrators of this fortunately finespun and exquisite Freeport made sure to bestow upon it the capabilities of self-sustenance, but as gourmand as we are, we sometimes can't help but stroke ourselves, and our pockets with metaphorical compliments manifested under the form of a greater food and drink variety. Not to mention some of us enjoy the notion of possessing ever loyal furry companions, myself par example.
The last days, with the news from Freeport 4, this route changed. We reckoned we could strike a healthy profit by offering them Fuel and our certainty proved to be correct. To our benevolent assumptions, we found out that the Freeport had a quantity of H-fuel which rose high above the levels of necessity and sufficiency. We had quite a lot to share... for a price.
As such, we made a route of transporting H-fuel to Magellan, only to return with supplies from Harris, perhaps Tea from Cortez as well.
If you were to employ yourself on such an endeavour, I would recommend you partake in it with H-fuel found, and brought from the surface of Planet Harris.
Now, I do hope you found this excerpt satisfying, monsieur. I shall now leave you, and Achille to continue your discussions.
Have a good day, au revoir!

Kallisti!
Mister Robert D' Autoine, I thank you for this short but valuable information... no doubt that sharing it would be beneficial for the both us since we can augment any supply deficiencies your fleet has.
Mister Achille A Nadeau, I was merely teasing... *smiles*
You would find the Goddess to be more of a nuisance.
I hope there would be more future business opportunities with our distant neighbors... until next time.
23's & May the Goddess bless your endeavors!
