"The name's Stirling, vice president in the Independent Neuralnet Division and flying a ‘Mastodon’. Mainstream? Oh yes. “
"Basically… I’ve got my eyes set onto being a proud owner of my very own HWDU-430, or more commonly known as the ‘Golem’. Its elegant design, beautiful smooth lines and, at least to my persona, known to have that x factor.”
“I want one. Simple as that.”
“Perhaps discuss any demands from your end over a lovely steak and some fine wine straight out of Gallia? My treat.”
Your request is certainly not something we see every day, but perhaps we can work with it. I have to say I've never heard the Golem being described as "elegant", nor do I know why you would choose one rather than any of the other ships your company can easily access. I suppose you have your reasons.
Anyway, I'm afraid it's not "simple as that", as these vessels are restricted and generally not sold outside the company. Particularly not to an organization we have no substantial ties with.
So first of all, I'm going to have to know what you intend to do with that ship should we grant you its usage. We can work from there.
Finally, your offer of a fine dinner is charming, but my schedule is really quite full and I can't help but suspect ulterior motives behind it.
I would really prefer to keep this business-only.
"Just as we all are snowflakes, individual from birth, so is taste a truly individual experience. Having encountered the Golem numerous times it still is -the- only ship I've seen in my life-time that I so desire. I don't understand how I have given the impression that I might have any ulterior motives. Sure, the ship is sturdy and well equipped to counter any issue, from both inside or outside, but for my own account I don't have -that- many worries.”
"My plans for the ship are fairly simple, but time-consuming and most of all costly. I intent to bring one down to the shipyard in Oita where the interior designers of Renzu will transform the inner portions of the ship to match my needs. The exterior will remain the same, perhaps a small difference in the paint scheme, but that's it. The inside however will be transformed to match that, no wait, outdo the interior of the 'Shukensha', Renzu's built luxury liner."
"For this particular subject, I can be really flexible. I hope you can be too."
Turning a Golem into a luxury craft, that's certainly a new endeavor. I'd like to say you'd be the first to attempt it.
However, that makes this whole deal much simpler. Since you won't be in need of all the unique active shielding and rad-armor that makes the Golem unique, we should be able to deliver a very basic, stripped-down hull for you.
This will really just be the basic structure, nothing else. But if you're planning extensive modifications, that shouldn't be a problem.
Still, since our production lines aren't organized to build export Golems, we're going to need you to provide the materials needed yourself.
Please deliver the following to Dortmund station and construction will commence at once.
I trust this won't be an issue for your company's capable shipping fleet.
On a final note, I need to stress that whoever flies a Golem will reflect back on my company as a whole. So there is no room for error here at all. Any reports or even rumors of this ship being used in some questionable or illegal fashion will result permission to use it being revoked.
Naturally, I'm going to need the intended call sign of the vessel as well to verify this.
Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, but we're very protective of this unique design. If you agree with all of this, consider yourself the proud owner of a very uncommon ship type.
"Wunderbar. I'll start immediately and notify you on this channel with the packing slips once I have completed the shipments.”
Stirling playfully grabs his heart and puts on a hurt look.
"Don't worry, I'm a legitimate businessman and wouldn't be caught doing -anything- less than legal. But, to play along, the ship is going to be christened the Hostile Takeover, or the [IND]Hostile.Takeover."
"Danke schön, miss Atzenbruck. I'll take good care of her once she's under my reigns."
I've got the packing slips, you can find them added to this transmission."
"When will I be able to pick up the ship? That way I can alert Renzu shipyard on when to expect the arrival."
"I hope all is satisfactory and I wish you and the ALG the best. I'm not known to very sentimental, but cleanliness is next to godliness and without your company Sirius would be a bigger mess than it currently already is. Take care."
I've already been informed of the arrival of the requested materials. Seems everything was right to order, and thus construction has commenced.
I'm glad you can appreciate my company's work and I hope your ship will serve as an ambassador of our engineering capabilities.
It will be complete in the next twenty-four hours. Please remember our conditions, and of course enjoy your ship.
