Subj: Procurement of Industrial Materials
To Omicron Supply Industries, Greetings:
Star Enterprises would like to purchase, and, if possible, have delivered to Zoner base Livadia Shipyard in Omicron 74, ten thousand cargo units of Industrial Materials. In return for this delivery, we are offering a bonus of 500 credits per unit upon documented delivery.
Please submit proof of delivery to this channel.
We hope that this can be a formalization of profitable long term relations with OSI.

Topic: Order 10'000 units of Industrial Materials
Dear Mr Alestone, according to our information your group has successfully built and maintained a modular base, it is therefore unlikely that your group would is asking for assistance in hauling the ridiculously small amount of 10'000 units.
If this is not a scam, please present the reasons why you are unable to do so yourself.

Re: Your last message
To Whom it may Concern:
Star Enterprises is attempting to use our latest project, the upgrade of our flagship, for several purposes. Not least among those is building a closer relationship with other organizations in the outlands territories.
We made our original offer more in the way of an overture, with the hopes of doing further business in the future, than because we could not divert, and it Would be a diversion, internal resources to fulfill the request. If this initial contract were satisfactory, we would be interested in more interaction as the project proceeds.
Is there some reason that I am, personally, unaware of for you to consider this some sort of hoax?

Dear Mr Alestone, thank you for your answer. To bait OSI into a hoax with the promise of future business has been a viable strategy on ancient Sol. However, this is the Sirius sector. Therefore, I need to ask you for either a business plan on how you would like to proceed in a future business relation with Omicron Supply Industries or any securities for actual future contracts in a higher order of magnitude.
The request for a mere 10'000 units of Cargo is not a business opportunity for Omicron Supply Industries but a waste of time. The reputation of Omicron Supply Industries is good enough to not have to rely on opening orders to prove our reliability.

Hello Mr... of OSI, allow me to introduce myself, Jake Winslow here CEO of Star Enterprises. Your organization has a great reputation and your successful jobs and logistic ventures can be seen throughout Sirius. As a smaller Zoner organization and profitable businessman we have always looked up OSI for a business model of what we wish to be. As one of the most active logistics companies we'd be crazy not to ask you all first *smiles.
I just want to clarify a few things before we end up at each other throats. First of all our order includes over 20 different commodities with hundreds of thousands of units. We approached you with a small request knowing you all are very busy and to see if you were even up for the job. We do have our transports running over time but could use any help that's available. I don't underestimate your abilities to fulfill large orders but as this is the first time we have approached or requested OSI for assistance we didn't know what to expect, Now we do. Listed below is an almost complete list of what is needed;
Step 1: The Super Structure
-Basic Alloy: 10,000
-Industrial Materials: 10,000
-Super Alloy: 10,000
-Titanium: 10'000
-Aluminium: 10,000
I do apologize this was not included in the first transmission. Going forward we will make sure to be more detailed.
Now secondly you say we are "baiting" you... or a "Hoax", I don't even know what the hell that means and frankly I feel disrespected you would even consider us to betray another family of Zoners! I will disregard these absurd remarks and get right to business. We understand your company far succeeds ours and most others around Sirius as we have been successful with our Star Port in the Omegas it doesn't compare to the vast empire OSI has established. You ask of our "business plan" well lets be real here, there isn't much we can offer you! We just simply seek to build better relations with our allies and would return any favors upon request.
Sorry for wasting your time this was a mistake asking for help. Please forgive us for reaching out for assistance.
