Your transmission here has caught our attention. However, it would seem that in your eagerness to introduce yourselves to the citizens of the Omicrons and Omegas, you may have restricted your opportunities for cooperation.
I represent the Custodi, a subset of the Corsair people found on Crete. I'm opening this channel for several reasons. The most important being the idea of your open transmission. The second being negotiating an exclusive deal.
I trust that you are interested in potentially coming to a working business arrangement, and as such, I will await word from you that you are ready to proceed with negotiations. A word of advice, don't begin talking with other "interested" parties until you've heard what I have to say in full. It's significantly more conducive to... cooperation... if we can enter these discussions without interference from other clients becoming an issue.
I am Jeremie Dupont, COO of EFL Oil and Machinery and I will be handling this deal in Monsieur Mizaki's-stead.
The Corsairs certainly interest us, while the Bretonians see you as terrorists, we see you as a rather unlucky few left to rot in deep space by the ego-centrism of Liberty and her Bretonian lapdogs. So, I wonder, what do you have in mind? We at EFL excel at the production of technological devices ranging from our own, and far superior, Jump Gate and Trade Lane and Docking Ring parts. One of our more popular products, the Holotainment band has seen a recent rise in sales in Sirius since their ability to be easily modified to be used for both In-Flight and CQC training as well as for simple fully immersive virtual reality. Other then that, there are other things we could offer you but first I want to know what you bring to the table.
Let's make a deal,
Jeremie Dupont,
COO, EFL Oil and Machinery
It is good to know you are willing to enter negotiations so readily. The Custodi are, as you say, interested in what the EFL can bring to the Omega's and Omicrons. Trade Lanes, Jump Gates, Docking Rings. The infrastructure an empire is built on. Infrastructure we do not have. I will speak frankly Mister Dupont. The Custodi has little in the way of technological marvels and expensive goods to offer in negotiation. What we do have is our pilots, some of the best anywhere, knowledge of the systems you wish to make inroads into, and the ability make your stay in these systems either very pleasant, or very perilous.
Do not mistake my words for a threat. The Custodi are not second rate thugs running an extortion racket. No. The Omegas and Omicrons are a dangerous place. You'll find many different factions of all sorts vying for dominance of a handful of resources on a barren rock. The Red Hessians, the Order, the Coalition, the Core, the Mollys and the Outcasts. You'll have encounters with an enemy unlike anything you've seen before in the form of the infected humans and their alien masters.
What the Custodi offers is safety. Access to these untapped systems without fear of death. You have the infrastructure. We have the strength to see it set in place. Of course, one step at a time. If you are willing to pursue further agreements, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be waiting further word from you eagerly.
