Subject: Business Esteemed Allies,
I'm Shadowwalker of the Istituto di Ricerca Militare Maltese, but do not let the name fool you, our activities are not limited to science and research. And some time ago we've been contacted by one of your operatives which kindly requested one of our "Aspis" Battletransport. Therefore we'd like to use this opportunity to reopen further talks with you, as you appear to be neglected by most of the Nazione Maltese.
Truth to be told, the IRMM has found your group active, thriving and especially reasonable. We're not interested in engaging in petty diplomatic talks with Lane Hackers nor Liberty Rogues about be it the Orange Treaty or our Capital assets bugging Rogues feeling of inability to satisfy themselves with what they have. With this, the IRMM wants to use its fiscals to invest in the dominant vein of market you have created and shift more Cardamine into your hands.
I understand you already have a wide access to Cardamine and promising you virtues of an even higher quality would most likely by the amount of times you've heard it turn it into something even better than Cardamine itself. We're obviously aiming to steer you towards buying the Cardamine from our own traders at Malta in exchange for but not limited to harder hits on Hogosha in Kusari.
As any other group, we are interested in your ability to gather commodities, equipment and information given your relative neutral stance with house governments. This includes taking away disabled foreign vessels for research on Malta, should such opportunity be given to you. Of course it would all be fairly paid for.
The restriction of movement within Maltese space would stay, you'd be allowed to move between the stations you need but under no circumstances you may enter the Omicron Phi guarded by Outcast Guards nor stay within the vicinity.
Of course, We welcome further ideas regarding the exchange of resources and enriching our mutual cooperation.

Shadowwalker,
Another familia has risen to prominence in Malta I see, I remember a Crimson Cross priest telling me this old Maltese proverb "Find a Hill, become a Familia". In other words, yes our dealings with your people have been going on for a very long time. We do occasionally make our way up to Malta, though more often then not we take Cardimine from the Rogues to deliver it where they cannot. Though, you have my interest in your wish to turn up the heat on the Hogosha. Furthermore, I had some plans that could make use of the superior firepower that that the Maltese can provide specifically in regards to the Hogosha.
One of my men mentioned he was inquiring about one of the Aspis', beautiful ship no doubt, I am just personally not super fond of the overwhelmingly blatant ties it makes between us and you, but I suppose he may have to learn that lesson in his own time.
Moving on however, if you could tell me exactly what kind of commodities you were looking for I can arrange some transports to make their way in your direction. I'd hate to assume you wanted military hardware when you wanted toys for your children you know? *he laughs*
As for salvaged military technology that's easy enough to collect, you see we have been contracted to assist BMM in cleaning up the war wreckage in Bretonia. Additionally we are one of the primary groups extracting war salvage from the Bering No-Man's-Land. In all honesty the only houses military technology we cannot source for you is Kusari, but we have contacts could probably pull something off if push came to shove.

*He chuckles* Rick Tiltman you certainly have a prior experience with Maltese, that is seen and noted. Sparing one Aspis for someone who has asked for it in a proper manner and channels is justified. Yet, the plan we have relies on you. We both know that chaos in the lawful ranks allows both of us to increase profits. Perhaps Junkers would find more breathing room if chaos between Kusari and Gallia was riled up using one of the toys the wine-sniffers have left in Bretonia. Kids can be harsh and sometimes violent, that's why the toy has to be able to withstand some beating *He chuckles again*. Of course, some videogames from liberty would help aswell.
Such a vessel has a cost of course, and we recognize this. There's a certain bank account in Rheinland that has about enough money to make an entire family rich for the rest of their lives.
So you already have a plan regarding Hogosha? How convenient, this will reduce additional planning. So I'd like to hear about it.

Shadowwalker,
I am sure you are familiar with the Golden Dragon Casino? Revered as one of the most luxurious stops in Kusari, it is also the pride and joy of the Hogosha. I surmise that they funnel all of their illicit money through that base, where as we Junkers front our work with Salvage, I assume they probably front theirs with the Casino.
Which is why I want it.
Not only would taking the Casino be a major blow to the Hogosha, it would also be a massive boon to Junkers giving us a foothold in Kusari which has so often evaded us. It's mobility would allow us to keep it moving away from the bloodthirsty Kusari Lawfuls. Unfortunately, attacking the base directly would be tricky for Junkers and I feel that with the IRMMs help and likely the assistance of the Golden Chrysanthemums.
I haven't reached out to them just yet I am still working on the fine points, admittedly this is more of a idea than and actual plan. Would this be something the IRMM may be interested in aiding us in?
