Bonjour,
You probably haven't heard of me, so I'll introduce myself, my name is Alexander Bernard, one of the Contracteurs of the Golden Skulls, and I am here to talk about business.
I have heard many past "Cooperations" between you Messieurs and us Brigands. I just want to make sure these "Cooperations" will still continue with us, the Golden Skulls. Simple information exchanges between our organizations will suffice for now.
So what do you say Messieurs? shall we become... ah! Business Partners, is what you would call us.
Both of us will profit from this.
I hope for a positive reply.
Cordialement, Alexander Bernard

Bonjour,
I hope you are doing well Messieurs. Regarding our hopefully existent future partnership, one of our Aces met an unfortunate Colonial pilot strolling around in Tau-23, according to the logs he seemed to be looking or avoiding one of your patrols, probably wanted to delay the patrol while bringing in reinforcements to blow up your patrol, after some chatter the Colonial pilot was being immensely rude and jumped to Tau-37, Doux shortly disposed the Colonial.
I hope this information convinces you to think wisely about the offer.
[07.07.2015 10:41:16] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Hmmm... Colonials, here?
[07.07.2015 10:41:25] CR|-Panzer: Ya, by the skin of our teeth
[07.07.2015 10:41:46] CR|-Panzer: I heard you guys sent a raiding party to the region, just to mess with the occupational force
[07.07.2015 10:42:12] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Uhm, no actually. *she chuckles* We mess with everyone who doesn't pay or doesn't house us.
[07.07.2015 10:42:45] CR|-Panzer: I suppose that' fair enough
[07.07.2015 10:43:06] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Except, you see, your amis don't do either.
[07.07.2015 10:43:22] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: So it would only be logical for us to start messing with you too.
[07.07.2015 10:43:38] CR|-Panzer: Well, call us if you wish to see that change
[07.07.2015 10:43:42] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: But. You know.
[07.07.2015 10:43:54] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: A small donation to our box might change these relations, oui?
[07.07.2015 10:44:10] CR|-Panzer: I only got a third of a mil here, so it would be small alright
[07.07.2015 10:44:23] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Awwww. That's sad.
[07.07.2015 10:44:28] CR|-Panzer: Sides, looting a fighter? Come on...
[07.07.2015 10:44:44] CR|-Panzer: i mean, i probably would get shot down, but still.
[07.07.2015 10:45:05] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: *she chuckles* Well, you don't have the money and you can't fight.
[07.07.2015 10:45:10] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: How can you expect to survive here?
[07.07.2015 10:45:15] CR|-Panzer: Oh, I certainly can fight
[07.07.2015 10:45:35] CR|-Panzer: I'm just being realistic
[07.07.2015 10:46:03] CR|-Panzer: Besides, responded to intel about some garrison troops poking their head out
[07.07.2015 10:46:24] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: *she seems to think extensively* I have no idea what that means.
[07.07.2015 10:46:34] CR|-Panzer: Royal police
[07.07.2015 10:46:53] CR|-Panzer: I know at least one ship of theirs was supposed to be floating around
[07.07.2015 10:47:01] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: I 'aven't seen any, and I've been here for a while already.
[07.07.2015 10:47:12] CR|-Panzer: But since now it's clearly nowhere to be found, the mission is void.
[07.07.2015 10:47:27] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: How can you know that for sure?
[07.07.2015 10:47:36] CR|-Panzer: listening sats
[07.07.2015 10:47:57] CR|-Panzer: I mean, it's child's play to latch passive sensors onto the local rocks
[07.07.2015 10:48:16] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Mhm....
[07.07.2015 10:48:34] CR|-Panzer: Sure, they won' pick up an exact location, but for determining how many ships there are in the system, they work perfectly
[07.07.2015 10:48:40] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Well. I don't really care why you're here... but there's still the issue of you still being here and not paying us.
[07.07.2015 10:49:09] CR|-Panzer: Really?
[07.07.2015 10:49:12] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: I'm not done talking to you, monsieur.
[07.07.2015 10:49:39] CR|-Panzer: Well, I sorda would like to return to base
[07.07.2015 10:49:48] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: They may call me "sweet", but I stop being sweet when idiots who think they can toss us around come along.
[07.07.2015 10:50:15] CR|-Panzer: I'm hardly in a position to toss anyone around for the moment, so what gave you that impression?
[07.07.2015 10:50:31] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: The fact that you didn't pay and the fact that you jumped /while I was talking to you/.
[07.07.2015 10:50:50] CR|-Panzer: well, if a third of a mil will help you, then sure
[07.07.2015 10:51:11] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Might calm me down enough to let you run away.
[07.07.2015 10:51:21] CR|-Panzer: Or... we both try our best
[07.07.2015 10:51:28] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Untill you scratch up enough change.
[07.07.2015 10:52:33] CR|-Panzer: Hm, after weighing my options, i think my dignity's worth a little more than what I'd spend
[07.07.2015 10:52:34] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: *she smirks* So what's it gonna be, huh?
[07.07.2015 10:52:42] CR|-Panzer: Besides, I have an image to uphold.
[07.07.2015 10:52:44] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Poor choice.
[07.07.2015 10:52:51] CR|-Panzer: probably.
[07.07.2015 10:52:54] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: And your image has already been shattered.
[07.07.2015 10:53:05] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: After all, your home system was destroyed by an offshoot of the Navy.
[07.07.2015 10:53:10] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Not even the main force.
[07.07.2015 10:53:19] CR|-Panzer: And yet here I am, still believing
[07.07.2015 10:53:24] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Foolishly.
[07.07.2015 10:53:29] Skull~"Doux".Etourneau: Now defend yourself.
[07.07.2015 10:53:50] Death: CR|-Panzer was put out of action by Skull~"Doux".Etourneau (Mine).

Subject: Re: Proposal to the GRP
While it is true that the GRP had dealings with brigand groups in the past, it was with those we came to trust, and I'm afraid the GRP is not familiar with your new group. So I will have to say no to almost everything you mentioned in your proposal. The only point I will consider for the moment is what you mentioned about the purchasing of information. The GRP will happily purchase any information that leads to the prosecution of other criminals. If you prove to be capable of this, I might be willing to reconsider the other points you mentioned at a later date, and might be willing to offer some legal immunities. As for your handling of the Colonial scum, I thank you and encourage you to continue your efforts in removing them. Although there is no system in place for it now, we might soon be willing and able to incentivize your continued efforts against them.
