My name is Leon, of the Bustard known as the NX-01. I'm an explorer, system mapper and scanner, and riftjumper. Throughout my travels I have acquired many system co-ordinates for my own use, and have spent a great amount of resources doing so. While mapping Rheinland space, I landed on one of your stations to refuel. From what I can see of your operations, you are a very large distributor of H-Fuel.
A few days ago, an installation within the Kepler System has been build to house data from my personal vessel. To continue my work, I'm in need of more fuel for my hardware to work. I ask if you are interested in working with a Freelancer, to perhaps sponsor my travels with higher quality H-Fuel? I understand if there's procedures that need to follow through before something like this can come to light - just know that I am interested in potentially working with you to better Kruger Minerals and all of Rheinland.
If there is some form of agreement we can come to, or if you are simply not interested, please send a communication back. . .

Guten tag, Leon, aka NX-01.
We received your missive a few minutes ago. Our radio operator immediately informed our office. It happened that we were in a business meeting and as there was general provision for analysis of your request, we already have an answer. It turns out kruger doesn't produce H-Fuel, we have it in large quantity, yes, but the manufacturer is Kusari and some of his corporations provide this fuel to everyone who intends to benefit from it.
See the manufacturing status quo of this fuel in the document below.
H-fuel is the basic fuel used for engine propulsion everywhere in the colonies. A mix of elemental hydrogen, deuterium (H2), and helium-3 (He3), H-fuel can also be mixed with oxygen in fuel cells to provide water (via "cracking") and electricity for smaller ships, space stations, and other facilities. H-fuel production is almost totally monopolized by the Kusari who obtained their supplies from the Gas Miner's Guild before shipping it to storage depots and distribution facilities throughout the colonies.
It is for this fact that we have clarified this matter in this depth.
But the good news is, the Krüger developed a fuel as good as the H-Fuel. We are already supplying it to all rheinland and intend to insert into some other houses.
See below for your technical information in the document below.
DT-fuel is a mixture consisting of an equal proportion of hydrogen isotopes, deuterium, and tritium. It is primarily used in fusion reactors to produce energy. With some technical effort, it can also serve as propulsion medium in the fusion engines of space craft. Because of its technical requirements, DT based engines are not very common, and customers are therefore rather rare. So far, the Buro der Marineintelligenz has shown the greatest interest in purchasing large amounts of DT Fuel, which turned out to be an attractive alternative to conventional H-fuel in long-term operations such as deep space recon.
DT-fuel is currently being produced by Kruger Minerals, which is hoping to dominate the Rheinland market in the near future, and displace its competition, The Gas Miners Guild, in order to become independent of H-fuel supplies from Kusari. But these plans still lack technical practicality and support from the Rheinland government, and the Rheinland Military is trying to prevent the open sale of DT Fuel. They deem the risk of illegal purchases by criminal elements to be too high, since they could use the ingredient tritium to build up an arsenal of deadly explosives. Hence, DT Fuel stocks are always monitored meticulously to ensure none of the exports reach the black market.
So I say that by passing on the H-Fuel from Kusari, it becomes more expensive in our hands. We sell at Essen Station for 1700 per unit. If you want delivery to be made there is still the delivery fee, but DT-Fuel can provide you with appreciable values, such as 419SC per barrel..

Thank you for your very quick reply. It was my understanding that both you and the Gas Mining Guild were manufacturing H-Fuel, seems I was wrong. In any case, you have brought up your own product: DT-Fuel. I have a handful of questions about it. Are you by any chance familiar with advanced technology? On board my vessel, I carry what's known as a Hyperspace Survey Module. I need to carry around approximately 700 units of H-Fuel to use this piece of hardware only one time, before I need to refuel. Is your DT-Fuel compatible? More efficient? And at which locations am I able to purchase it? If it is compatible with my vessel, we'll be having a much longer chat to see if we can arrange something that'll benefit us both. . .
