Robert d'Autoine. I see you've started the ascent up the ladder.
I've come to the understanding that you're a man of opportunity over the time that I've known you. Because of this very fact, I'd like to hold a slight conversation with you in order to make a personal judgement. I've been busy. Very busy. Enough time included to think for a while about how I have been living my life, and have come to a personal decision.
I ask a single question to you Robert. One in hopes that your answer is what I think it will be.
What is the use of currency? And from your first answer, I would also like to ask what is the best kind of currency. Amusing question, isn't it.

Bonsoir, madame. How would you be fairing upon the ferocious tides of fate?
Have you come to test my mind and see whether my acumen has retained its sharpness, cheri? Worry not, my blades remain ever deadly and to illustrate, I shall indulge you with their sharpness by enlightening your obscuring conundrum.
We have exerted our existence upon mutual domains long enough to know that it is of common knowledge and, hopefully, concurrence, when I say that currency is but a commodity which advances interest and paves the road to prosperity. Therefore, the best kind of currency is the one that fulfills all these enterprising feats and that currency is "information". An apparently ambiguous connotation that can be extrapolated widely upon many subjects but I am more than certain you are familiarized with what I am talking about.
I intend to save all the pie exclusively for me, merci beaucoup. The raven shall always find the opportunity to steal the prize exclusively for himself while the plebeian pidgeons (of peace) can satisfy themselves with the leftovers... as all pidgeons do.
You may also understand that my new position lacerates me with a multitude of responsibilities. In order to convince me to partake in... discussions, conversation, leisure time then I must be distracted from my professional pursuits. Currency is the best form of distraction so that the official can sway his head in your favour. Now, what type of currency are you willing to utilize, cheri?
Yours earnestly,
Robert Carol d'Autoine
Ex-Head Councilor of the Commonwealth,
Administrator of the Confederation of Freeports,

I expected as much from you. Information, whereas information is power. Information has the capacity to turn someones head if you know something they do not. Information lets you build up your own castle designed to be impervious to defeat, as long as you are one step ahead of the enemy that is.
I tend to go for a more.. raw form of information. Why skip for information directly, when you can rank up favors instead. Something that I myself call the ultimate currency. Something that myself and the other Snows have been very good at collecting. People from almost every group that you could think of, all for a singular purpose of consolidating into a purpose which will benefit us in the future.
Let me ask you bluntly. What do you desire, which I may collect one of these future favors from you? Do not limit yourself upon which you think I have capacity of visually. I'd like to amuse you.

So you would like to cause a rapture of amusement inside the brinks of my mind, would you now, madame? You have achieved that already, I give you that. Your mere appearance today, here and now, is a matter of utter amusement, as well as the manner in which you so much expected this reply of mine.
My lack of punctuality wasn't purposeless or a matter of flaw, mind you. It was an aftermath of this amusement, to see the desire you may have inside you. Naturally, one would already forget of this communique or harvest irritation by the apparently preposterous retort, or lack of thereof. Voices of the antemundane, my ration and acumen, tell me that this isn't the case here and so far my skills haven't deceived me.
However, need I assure you that my amusement doesn't stem from derision, from farce, or denouncement, non, it is... a matter of admiration.
I agree with your notion, favours are an exquisite and overtly finespun form of currency. We live in a world dominated by plutocracy, where our identity is judged by our relationships. A man without relationships, a man who doesn't have contacts in positions that exert a significant influence is a man without identity... in our world at least.
I find myself to be digressing, however.
You know what I always desire: Power, Control, Influence, as well as the accompanying modus operandi deeply drenched in subtlety and sublimity. Shaping that planet whose name I forgot, that big, grandiose tangerine ball in which the Discordians engender more pride than they would in their testicles, after my face would be a wet dream I often have.
Now, I ask you, how would you touch these desires I have? How would you cater? And I dare say I refer to the former ones, let's leave the ball, epitome of pride, for the Discordians to mangle with.
Yours earnestly,
Robert Carol d'Autoine

That's something that I have grown to like about you over the time that i've known you. You hide behind your large words, yet you generally hold a rather simplistic goal at heart. Oh if only you expressed it the way in which it is easily received.
What am I able to do for you. As of your new position, I presume that you have a bunch of new people which you need to work with. People who perhaps you are not generally close with, as you used to be with the Commonwealth. Because of this, i'd presume that managing the many freeports that you have under your control in the Confederation of Freeports may be a little less straightforward than your old job may be.
I understand that you are working out the status between all of the Freeports as it is right now. I'd like to make a.. Ahh.. Request to you. Freeport 10. The base has become rather.. close to me after the time that i've spent there. It's grown on me. If I like it or not, the things that have happened there through the Commonwealth has changed who I am as a person, be that for the better or worse. While I haven't been told of anything directly, there have been a few rumors that many other people have been trying to take Administration of the base ever since the Commonwealth has become.. less present in the world currently.
I would like to make a request. The Base has always been something which I hold rather in high esteem, the mere existence and location of where it is. I desire it to continue to operate well. Due to the pending situation about the Administration currently, i'd like to ask that you seriously consider allowing me to take up the position. Someone who you know more or less, will be successful at keeping the base in good condition and Administration, while being more or less under your own stature as someone you someone you can trust, rather than an individual who only has mere claims.
What do you say Robert, has the situation that's been presented to you intrigue you? I'd like to hear back on what you think of this.
