I hope this communique finds you in good health, and with lots of work. We at IND hold the S/D agency in the highest regard, and thus I am approaching you about a matter of some significance. The IND is currently looking at increasing our escort fleet, as such we are looking at different ships that most appropriately fill our needs. During my evaluation of our needs and tactics as well as our procedures and practices, I have come to the conclusion that the Bounty Hunter bomber would fit our need like the proverbial glove. It ranked high in all of my evaluational criteria. Now, this ship, as you well know, is sold on your Sheffield Station, and as such we would like to discuss the purchase of a limited number of these ships for our escort fleet.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and response.
I would advise that non bounty hunters refrain from any attempts to purchase equipment manufactured by the Guild. This is due to bounty hunter equipment being purchased in the past and then sold to foreign entities as well as several instances of individuals purchasing bounty hunter ships and then attacking members of the guild with said equipment.

Aaaaahhhh yesss, thatsh right bommerss. To the unknown gentleman we're interspash, why would we attack Guild folksh? Makes no sensh to meee. More likel to hire the guild than fire on the guild. I've half a mind, right now the rest is staring at the bar wench, to sue your ogarn... ogranis, bunch for that thing you sue folksh for when they lie about you.
Anyway. I'm drunk and not getting any drunker, which ish a problem. So I'll headbutt thish thing to switch it off and I'll be waking up in the back of a bretonian cell again, I hope they've kept mine from the last time.
Bayliss, gone.

Good Lord, seems nothing is sacred round here these days ? Young Otis is acting entirely under my direct
orders, as he is one of our better pilots, and his opinion concerning current ship technology is always highly
valued. The choice of Bounty Hunter craft is one we have always considered as a viable alternative to the
use of military ones, as they seem to be getting a little tight with letting them go recently.
Sirius is becoming a much more dangerous place these days, and the need for escorts is of a paramount
concern in our business. We of course in return for the lease of these vessels would consider using your
pilots for duties when around your area of operations, and further, would as usual be prepared to *cough*
pay a little premium to your local ship sales agents. I'll leave that in the more then capable hands of Mr
Jethro to come up with the best result for all concerned.
As for Bayliss, I shall be removing his executive bathroom keys and privileges for some considerable time,
or until he sobers up. Which ever comes first ... Don't hold your breathe either way.
Thank you for your consideration in these matters.
Jay Simon.

Excellent Sir, we at IND are looking forward to a new era of cooperation between our organization. Our teams at Bonn and Newark, are currently preparing for your pre-assessment teams arrivals, and I have personally been in contact with the facilities administration at the stations to setup temporary quarters for your staff. Luckily, the office wing neighboring ours at Newark station has recently been vacated, and is being prepared for you as we speak. Unfortunately, Bonn does not have an office space opening for at least two months. Until that time, we would like to offer you office space in our offices until such time as another space is available. On a personal note, I am glad to fin out that your Agency's reputation is indeed well earned. We cannot wait to begin training and assessment activities, as we anticipate a great result in terms of results and efficacy, and that is in large part due to your agency and it's expertise, I would like to personally thank you for that sir, and hope to soon be able to sit down with you face to face to show my appreciation, until then, perhaps this 649 Quelmontrochia Merlot I have in my cellar. I hope you like it, as it is pack and on the next transport toward Waterloo already. Cheers mates, speak with you soon.
