From: Adriana Howe, Eberecht and Ebelhardt Co, Stuttgart. To: Gateway Registration Management. Subject: A client wishes to register a ship under Gateway.
To whom it may concern:
Sir or Madam. The firm I represent, Universal Commonwealth Services, has acquired a vessel that it lacks the facilities or docking rights to maintain, one "Mastodon" Liberty Transport. They would like to pursue registering their vessel with a Gateway IFF, and docking and maintenance rights on Kensington shipping platform, and are willing to send a delegate to sit down with you if that's something you'll offer.
My name is Alan Shepard, the CEO of Gateway. We received your request. To be honest with you, Ma'am, in our databases and in my memories have little information about your company, Eberecht and Ebelhardt Co.. So before we start any negotiations I ask you to briefly present Your company. I am interested in the reputation list, ID, Your politics and standings with Gateway's enemy. Claiming affiliation is a delicate matter in this case because we can give it to Your company as a Gateway subsidiary. And if we only give permission to the ship becomes also the property of Gateway too but we can talk about these details after the introductions of Your Company.
From: Adriana Howe, Eberecht and Ebelhardt Co, Stuttgart. To: Alan Shepard, Gateway CEO. Subject:Universal Commonwealth Services Seeking Ship Maintenance contract on Kensington Shipping Platform.
Mr. Shepard,
I'm sorry, I'm representing Universal Commonwealth Services, a shipping and construction firm based on America Freeport, Kansas System. They're a firm incorporated under the Commonwealth of Liberty, who have been exporting copper ore mined in the system of Kansas to New Tokyo.
At this point, I would have to say that they haven't developed a reputation list nor ID yet, simply flying under Commonwealth IFF and are reaching out to nations and firms such as yours to establish such a list.
The Gallic threat that we all face together is, to our understanding, your only enemy, aside from small time pirates, which UCS, as a shipping concern, is also quite opposed to.
Now, as to the second part: Are you saying, sir, that the only way you're willing to perform repairs on this vessel is if you have ownership over the vessel? My employers are not interested in selling, simply securing a shipyard to maintain it.
Briefly and objectively, Your Affiliation request for the desired transport vessel it is possible that you have a contract with us. Simply put, the name of the vessel should include the abbreviation of our division, tag|-GSV-name. The vessel is automatically added to our system, on the Gateway Shipping Roster, and the name of the Transport ship Captain. That would be the administrative part.
Secondly, The boat registration fee covers the docking costs of the base. Also, part of the agreement is the more favorable Ore buying & mining price, which means a 40% discount from the original price. You are the owners of this ship but the ship is your affiliation with Gateway Shipping Inc.. After all these steps, the vessel is considered to be registered, in addition Your Company can get docking license at the Oceana Shipping Platform in Cortez system.
For these to be accomplished please introduce your diplomatic relationship with Bretonia. If the evidence shows that your diplomatic relation isn't hostile the contract may be concluded with the above mentioned terms.
