To whom it may concern,

While I don't usually talk to those I kill for money, since putting a face on them usually means attributing some sort of humanity to them as well, I somewhat see the need to at least propose something. Within less than a month, I destroyed eight ships, collected fourty million credits by basically doing nothing but idle evasion and 'olding the fire button. I doubt I need to give you proof of that, but in case you can't believe your reports, I can give you detailed pictures of some beautiful explosions.

So 'ow many will it be in a year?

See, I'd fancy myself a nice person and as such, I'd like to propose something that we can both be really content with. I want this from you. I know people who'd be delighted to get one of these ships into their 'ands, and this deal would make any further bounty collecting from me superfluous. In case I need to sum it up again, as I noted that your people tend to be incredibly dense at times: Give me one of these cruisers, and I leave you alone forever.

Miss Mercier,

Not only does it not concern me, I honestly don't even feel the desire to report to such a lowly request, but someone in High Command had to draw the short straw, so now you have the pleasure of this communique with me.

Let me make one thing abundantly clear, the answer is and always will be "NO".

I must admit, it must've taken some guts to actually send this Transmission with the dear hopes we would actually agree to this, but alas I think it is you who is the dense one here. There is no reason, and there never will be a reason, for us to accept this request. Perhaps you'd be done better by taking the time you are wasting here and using it to clean yourself up and find Therapist while you're at it, because I believe you've lost your mind.

In no friendly Regards what so ever,

Really now?

Is that your idea of 'ow negotiations ought look like, Monsieur Enigma "Edgelord" Crayterian? See, your people's reputation of being dense is well earned, as evidenced by your lack of consideration of the possible outcomes our little under-the-table deal could 'ave, and since you seem unable to perform basic cognition on your own, allow me to do it for you.

Let us assume you deny my offer. I would 'ave lost nothing and just continue my work wantonly murdering your people whenever I come across them, and I assure you the losses sustained will at some point outweigh the production cost of the cruiser I want from you. So what is your loss? Lives, and a lot of them at that. This is merely a pet project of mine, a generous offer to give you the opportunity to pay upfront as it were, but even that I am willing to negotiate on. I am really rich, Monsieur Edgeboy. I can pay that cruiser.

So what if you agreed? There would be no lives lost. There would be overseeable hassle on your side, and I might just pay for that cruiser. You would 'ave no problems coming from me anymore.

Do you see why you're being an idiot already? In any case, I'll attach a little something to this transmission. In fact, I will give you monthly reports on my profits made by your pilots 'ilariously exploding, and you yourself will be able to say when I caused more losses than the production of a single cruiser could've warranted. Contact me if you change your minds.

'Ave a nice day. And, uh, tell Hellfire 'e is a real cutie.

Casualties

Really now.

The first mistake in Negotiations is assuming you know the person you are speaking to. It would do you well to learn restraint and some decency when addressing a person you want something from. Your pitiful attempt to make me yield by flashing the explosions of a few Nyx's that I hardly shed a tear about are truly a joy to see. I commend you on your attempt.

Let us assume you would in any way, shape, or form be able to persuade me, it surely wouldn't be through the use of this Documentation you speak of. Seeing people die isn't something you can shock me with, my dear. I've seen enough die by my side that your images do not even stir my stomach. Once you learn of death, and it's feelings, you come to ignore them. Something you seem to enjoy playing with yourself, no? Very good. Let me repeat myself. "No." Paying or demanding, you are not eligible, or even considers as a person to deserve one of our cruisers. This little "under-the-table" deal, as you call it, is not a deal at all. You may continue to think insulting the Crayterian people is another smart move in your negotiations, but I must disappoint you, you need to try something more efficient.

Assume I were to accept your deal, we'd have an unknown person, who you call a friend, flying our technology and using it for unknown purposes. If your "friend" wants to use our technology, he will find the Crayterian Defence Industries on the Neural-Net.

So, Miss Mercier. Your attempt, while they are adorable to say the least, will find no pity from me. Au revoir.

You make it seem like I'm actually losing something.

Really, either outcome is quite fine by me. I can only gain, while you can only lose — one option is just less expensive in the long run. So please, by all means, act 'igh and mighty, Edgelady, while not actually 'olding any cards in your 'and.
