Dear Ms. Jones:
My name is James Percival, CEO of FuTech Innovations. I have just been informed by one of our androids that a large order from a certain Miss Melissa Jones would be coming soon. I watched your transmission and would like to know more about your plans with our androids. Given your specific selection, I'm assuming the adult entertainment industry or something similar.
I thank you in advance for your order and I hope for a quick response.
Have a nice evening.
Yours faithfully,
James Percival
Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Stood in her converted bedsit that was clearly a converted cargo bay of an Eagle, Melissa bows her head respectfully, hearing from the CEO which she wasn't expecting directly. She smiles warmly, speaking in her usual soft Cambridge accent.
"Mr. Percival, pleasure to make your acquaintance. Please, call me Mel, I'm not often one for formalities, as essential as they can be in most situations. Either way, yes, I am looking at a large order. This is more for crew members for my ship that my old Organisation have given back to me. Long story short, it's lacking crew, and lacking a way of maintaining it's capability to sustain itself. A battleship is no small investment to keep running after all.
Given the models in question, what it would be for, as per the other message, would be for new crew for the ship. The existing crew are mostly loyal to Velvet, which is fair given that this ship was originally running under their banner, despite being my own vessel. I'm not 100% sure if more android models will be needed later, as I'm soon to start the process of negotiating with the crew on them remaining, as well as with the current leads of Velvet as to their ability to back me as well, along with other benefactors.
As far as the 'adult entertainment' goes, you could say that my plan is to have one or two decks reserved for select clientele. We're talking a small casino, strip club and of course call out services. Easy money with low maintenance, and means that there are more ways of keeping the ship in space instead of in a dock somewhere being scrapped or handed back to Velvet because I can't afford to run it. Either way, yes... It's a bit of an interesting venture.
I've attached the ship's details in question so that you can gauge an idea of what I'm looking at later down the line. Providing the internal refits aren't too expensive, or even Velvet are willing to assist, the sooner this project can ultimately begin. For now, the important thing is the crew. Before I go ahead, I'm not just looking for making a single order, I'm also looking for people interested in this project to help back it. Could be quite beneficial having an independent Aquilon Carrier assisting FuTech later on."
Melissa chuckles and she nods her head respectfully.

A rather different backdrop to when they first spoke, Melissa was stood in the bridge of an Aquilon carrier, without any crew there. The ship was powered, but it seems the bridge crew had dissappeared while Melissa would be sending a few message. As the tranmission begins, Melissa nods her head respectfully and speaks in a friendly tone.
"Mr. Percival, I have placed the order, rest assured, I won't be selling your team short. I will be transferring the money as soon as I am able to. For now, I want you to be aware, that the order has been placed.
I will await patiently for your response as to whether or not FuTech would be interested in some form of co-operative deal."
Melissa chuckles and she nods her head respectfully.

Dear Ms. Jones:
My COO Mr. Hyde and I have agreed to support Cryolite's business financially. We see your business model as an opportunity to make FuTech products more accessible without having to buy an Android.
Our terms are as follows:
A list of costs that will be incurred by your business will be available to FuTech at all times to assure that we finance only what we agree to finance.
FuTech assumes no liability or other legal consequences arising from non-androids and issues they may cause.
FuTech is not responsible for any damage caused by androids that were under self-performed technical maintenance or reparations.
In the event of technical malfunctions, failures and the like, FuTech must be informed so that repairs can be carried out by qualified personnel.
All androids must wear clothing that has the logo of FuTech, as well as the name, imprinted. This does not apply to androids which are taking part in any form of intercourse or similar actions that do not involve wearing clothes.
Apart from these points, the usual terms of conditions apply.
If you agree to our conditions, we can start financing your endeavors as soon as the payment for your androids has been confirmed. If there is anything else you wish to cover before this goes in effect, feel free to do so.
Yours faithfully,
James Percival
Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Standing in the captain's quarters of the Cryolite, Melissa is looking out the window to Pygar. She nods as she takes in what James has requested as part of the agreement and takes a few seconds to think about it. After about 10 seconds her tone is soft and calm as she speaks.
"Mr Percival, I believe that this can be a fair understanding. It's after all, much better than what I was expecting. Now, as far as the payment to yourselves, can you confirm exactly how much I'm in debt to FuTech currently so that this debt can be clear.
I would request, that the android wear both my new logo which is currently in the works as well as the FuTech one, if you would be okay with such a thing?
I look forward to a fruitful and prosperous business relationship."
Melissa bows her head respectfully and smiles. As the transmission ends, she goes to looking out the window to Pygar.

Dear Ms. Jones:
It is self-explanatory that the androids may also have your logo imprinted. Your order sums up to a total of 750.000.000$ (//50.000.000$) credits. The payment has to be forwarded to FTI>Depository. Evidence of your payment has to be submitted to your original order. Once validated, one of our androids will verify your payment and your order will be delivered to the Cryolite.
Yours faithfully,
James Percival
