To whom it may concern.
I'm sure that there has been enough interaction between the Core and the Forlorn Hope for me to be allowed to skip the formalities. So I'll just cut straight to the important matters. The Forlorn Hope is, as always, slowly expanding its area of operations. We're anticipating a need to have refueling and rearming points in the Omega's in coming days, and while it's easy enough to find places to shelter in house space, the further systems aren't as welcoming.
Which brings me to my request. Dagger Station is in a prime location in Omega-55, and should our ships be able to station there between operations, it would greatly influence our ability to mobilize forces in that region of space. Naturally, it would be rude of me to not ask permission to make use of the facilities on site. I'm certain that you would have your own terms and conditions, so why don't we skip to the part where we negotiate.

Mr. Stenn, I'm glad you decided to talk to us before acting. This goes a long way nowadays.
As the current caretaker of Dagger, I won't mind your ships coming in from time to time. We have plenty of stuff down here, weapons, ammo, food, water and a very, very wide variety of top shelf alcohol. There's a few rules, naturally. Don't bring in ships with their reactors in a meltdown state, don't explode WMDs near the base, don't stab people in the bar. Basically, common sense, but I already know you have that, so I'm certain we'll be fine. Don't mind the heavily armed and armored security details throughout the outpost, they won't bother you unless you bother them. Oh and uh, despite our very well stocked bar, we won't turn down more alcohol. Keep an eye out for quality stuff.
~Yours Truly, Jack Daniels, Guildkeeper of the Core and STILL the most hated person in the Omicrons.

Allow me to express my gratitude for the swift and pleasant reply. We'll be moving ships around shortly, and I've already circulated the memo to the pilots to remain on their best behaviors. Also, not to worry about WMD's, I tend to keep those locked up as best as I can.
It is good to know that even in the furthest reaches of the sector, we have friends, and I am certain this will only maintain our cooperations for the future.
Oh, and about that top quality stuff, I've arranged for a little present. I wasn't sure what was to your taste exactly, so I provided everything, it's all top shelf.
