Captain of the Scorpius,

Should I even bother with an encryption code? Perhaps I should. You know, very rarely do I have to personally see to issues. As Captain it is my duty is to protect my crew, my ship, and my guests. Now I can’t speak for the rest of Orbital, but perhaps we can come to an agreement with regards to the safety of my own vessel. You expressed interest in a certain item I have, a codename weapon. Seeing as the value of this weapon far exceeds the value of most of your ships perhaps we can work out a safety agreement with not only yourself but the rest of your friends as well.

Blackwood out.

To the rapscallion,

The imaginary value you put on weapon in you possession as well as undervaluing our assets just shows what kind of corporate slug you are. I have tried reasoning with the hypocrites of your kind only to hit a brick wall of lies and deceit. I will not even waste my precious time opening meaningful dialogue with lackeys such as you. You made a grave mistake by blurping your closing remark and for this, you will pay dearly.
