*Sounds of yelling can be heard in the background as Angelo turns and begins the comm*
Well hello there
I bet you did not expect to receive a comm from me. As you were surprised with my negotiating skills, I believe I am correct in assuming that you are surprised once again.
Now, to the matter at hand. Per our agreement, I have delivered the Gold to one of the cargo holds in Ames for pickup. While I did inform you that I would bring a full hold, I felt it reasonable to only bring in the agreed upon 2000 units. Below is the attached manifest, signed and delivered.
The reason behind such an action my friend, is that I want to ensure that my ship, as well as the other vessels of the IND will be left alone when travelling in and out of Liberty. In the past, we have had dealings with the Xenos, but I would like to extend and re-establish communications between our two organizations. Included in this comm are the commanders and head of the Xenos, in the attempt to once again engage in negotiations. Should an agreement be made, more Gold will be delivered to you personally. I trust you will find this agreeable.
With that said, I look forward to future dealings, and I trust that this delivery will not go unnoticed.
On a side note, I would appreciate any info on the Lane Hacker, callsigned "Radical-Edward". He has been a nuisance
to both my ship and even so far as USI ships attempting to traverse Colorado space. Adjacent to any info you may provide me, If you see him, please do note that he engaged a Xeno pilot near Pueblo station. Do what you will with that info.
Well that was fast mister Bryant.
I did not expected that delivery any time soon *coughs* to be honest i didn't expected your reply on this mather at all.
As you may know Xenos are in need of lot of things but i can not negotiate about relations betwen Xenos and your company as i'm not authorised to do so.
Since you opened this comunication to our leaders i'l leave the negotiation part for them to deal with.
You seem to be quite capable in acquiring goods maybe they will be willing to listen what you have to say on behalf of your company.
And about my shipment of goold i'm docked at one of the Ames hangars and ready to receive it as soon as posible...
Now what the hell is this about gold and IND? Hah, that is one strange Xeno but then again who am I to judge... Okay, down to business then. IND are looking for a safe passage through Liberty by making a deal with us? Sure thing, we don't much go after your kind anyway.
What you could do for one is give us the occasional tip off about nearby transports you find that could possibly be heading our way. Especially if it's that filth from Kusari *spits in disgust* cheap bastards. Next, you could get us a shipment or two of Whiskey, Consumer Goods and Food Rations. We don't really have a need for Gold but it has some value to it, so bring some of that while you're at it. Just deliver it to Ames and we'll arrange a pickup. At least one thousand units of each should do. The more, the better though.
If you can get this done at least once a month, we'll start lookin' the other way when we see you lot out there. But if we get any nonsense from you guys or see you carrying stuff like Cardimine and Kusarian Rice, you won't be gettin' off easy, ye hear? If these terms are up yer alley, then we got ourselves a deal.
About that Lane Hacker, we have no info on him as of yet, but believe me, if we catch him, he will have a "Radical" decision to make regarding his life.

Hello there Mr. Herald.
Nice to meet one of the higher-ups within the Xeno organization, instead of meeting gunfire. While we have had our run-ins in the past, hopefully this will spark a new beginning for us.
Now that we have dispensed with the pleasantries, let us get down to business. In return for safe passage for our ships, you require intel on transports importing and exporting goods from Liberty. Especially from Kusarian corporations and organizations. Lastly, Whiskey, Consumer goods, and Rations. While the second part of the deal is laughably easy for us to acquire, the first does raise some eyebrows.
You see, many of our dealings do involve the mega corporations within Liberty and Kusari. Well actually, that's not entirely accurate. To be honest, our dealings span everywhere really. We are major stock holders and have controlling interest in a large variety of companies Sirian wide. I cannot divulge which of course. With that said, disruption of trade from many of these larger groups not only affects their profit, but ours as well as investors.
But, what we can do, is perhaps offer a compromise in regards the information we provide. Something that could prove most lucrative and beneficial for us both. Before I proceed any further or provide details though, I would like to hear from you regarding this proposition. Either we agree to provide you with supplies and the occasional tipoff of say an independent pilot and call it there, or I have whet your appetite enough to be interested in something a little more... in depth shall we say.
Should you choose the latter, I will send you a transmission on a more heavily encrypted channel, with a hourly changing decryption code. This not only prevents others from tapping in, but it also allows us the luxury of knowing that if you decide to forward that transmission to a third party in order to somehow gain an advantage over us, it will be unreadable. I'm sure you understand.
Well dayum, seems I missed this one. Uh right, down to business then. Ye can't give us information on some of them Kusarian corp haulers? Now that is a crying shame, but I would like te know what that other proposition is before making my final desicion. So send me something on a more secure channel and we can continue this.
