Miss Hunter,
After consulting with the other members of the Arbeitsdirektorat, we have all agreed on that to sign this document was long overdue. I do not know why this was not done earlier but now it is luckily. May this be the end of the tension between us and the beginning of a profitable cooperation.
Signed,

The Junker Marauders have agreed to the terms we discussed several days ago during our meeting. They have paid 250 000 000 SC for the the eternal license to extract, export and resell Military Salvage from Bering. I am attaching transfer confirmation now. Please do formalize this deal on your end and propagate it to proper channels.
Please accept once again my thanks for very fruitful negotiations.

Greetings Miss Hunter,
I also got confirmation from our side that the payment has been recieved, the Junker Marauders now have the right to mine, export and sell Military Salvage. I would like to ask one thing of you and tell them, that if there should ever be problems they may contact us directly. Within the next minutes I will inform the wider Union of the agreement to make sure there will not be any incident.
I am quite pleased myself with how things are now running between our organisations, so you have my thanks as well.
Signed,

Greetings to you, friends of the Hackers. I have been instructed to ask whether or not you would be interested in participating in joining a convoy that would be bound for Malta with a cargo of Military salvage. Considering the cargo in question is Military salvage, we are also wondering if you would be interested in providing us with an alternative to buying military salvage off the Hansa.

It is nice hearing of the Hackers again. My reply got a bit delayed due to personal issues but the Union would be interested in another joined Convoy. Given that the last one was a bit far from optimal, we would like to be included in the planning process, the details can be discussed over a more secure channel.
Regarding an alternative to Hansa? There is not really one except making contact with one of our very own miners that are operating frequently in the salvage field.
Kind regards,

Due to the recent decisions made by the Professorship, i will take this discussion regarding the Salvage convoy from here - and onwards. Given the circunstances it appears that assigning one of the mining assets of The Alster Union would be the best option. Meanwhile, we have a more concerning matter at hand, which would be convoy's security.
I would strongly encourage assigning a snubcraft to serve as a forward scout and a ticket from any unwanted odds we might run into at some points of the route.

Frau Willing,
If that is what your Professorship wants then so be it. The mining of said goods will be the least of our concerns, we always have some people which are willing to do the labour. Concerning the scout, I would suggest that one of your vessels takes the lead given the fact that your scanners have a superior range compared to the standard Unioner ones.
What about the 10th of June, it is far enough in the future to make more detailed plans about the route we will take.
Kind regards,
The Countess of Ravensberg;
Mistress of the Hamburg Cell;
Part of the Alster Union Triumvirate
While I would still expect from Ms Willing to complete all arrangements prior 10th June, in order to avoid similar inefficiencies I would like to provide you with a simplified smuggling protocol as well as offer my personal services as a recon leader during this operation. Please do familiarize yourself with the following document and if you do not have any remarks propagate it among your pilots.
Best regards,
Professor Provocateur
Nicole Hunter
Simplified Smuggling Convoy Protocol
A complete smuggling convoy consist of an arbitrary number of transports lead by a convoy actual and accompanied by at least one escort ship lead by a recon leader.
Convoy actual is responsible for maintaining discipline and keeping all transports in close formation during the entire convoy. Convoy actual orders jumps and special maneuvers.
Recon leader is responsible for scouting ahead of the convoy and maintaining awareness of the situation. Recon leader gives green light for jumps as well as in emergency situation can order a special maneuver. In case of pursuit recon leader is responsible for delaying or stopping hostiles from following the convoy.
Jumping Procedure
All transports prepare to jump either directly at the jumphole or at the safe distance if extreme caution was ordered by the recon leader.
Recon leader reports green light to perform jump.
Convoy actual gives order to jump and jumps last.
All transports wait for the convoy actual to arrive unless stated otherwise.
Convoy actual orders forming up and cruise to the next jump point.
Special Convoy Maneuvers
Testudo is a close formation of transports thrusting side by side in straight vector combining power of all defenses against one attacker. This maneuver should be used while approaching under fire nearest friendly or neutral port of harbor.
Sub-plane and Super-plane Cruise entails reaching around 25K units above or beyond the gravitational plane of the system. This maneuver should be used when traversing system with detected hostiles or with a high probability of interception.
