Buenas tardes,

Me llamo Miguel Hierra and I am a member of Deterrence. I've received the green light to initiate communication between our groups in order to discuss some business and at the same time to develop a good relationship that would benefit us all.

Before diving into the details of my proposition, I await an answer to this message.

I suppose you've changed your mind. Shame, I think.

Buenas tardes,

Mi disculpa for the delay in my response. I've not changed my mind; in fact, I believe there's great potential in our collaboration. As you may know, Corsairs have made significant advancements in the Dublin region, and we've found ourselves sharing a common enemy in the Mollies.

I propose that we explore a ship technology exchange. Gaian ships are well-suited for combat within the asteroid fields of Dublin. I believe such an exchange, conducted without any form of payment, could benefit both our groups.

If this proposition interests you, I eagerly await your response. Let's continue this conversation and see where it takes us.

Mister Hierra.

I think you are operating under a misconception. We have no mutual enemies in Dublin. The Gaians are quite done fighting your wars.

I fail to see what's in this for us, other than unnecessary trouble.

Regards,
Flora

Buenas tardes,

Mi disculpa for any misconception. I want to clarify that our aim is not to entangle you in our conflicts. Instead, we're looking for ways to foster collaboration that's mutually advantageous.

One avenue we could explore is economic cooperation. There might be opportunities for trade or joint ventures that can benefit both the Gaians and Corsairs.

If this idea resonates with you, or if you have other suggestions, I'm open to discussion. Let's work together to find a path that aligns with our principles.

Mister Hierra.

We already move your artifacts to domestic markets and beyond into Liberty. The arrangement was working quite well last I checked.

Nevertheless, I am mildly curious what more do you have in mind.

Regards,
Flora

Señora Flora,

I must say, I appreciate the challenges you present in these negotiations. Your principled stance is quite commendable.

As a goodwill gesture, I suggest a special arrangement involving Xeno Relics. Corsairs have unique access to these relics, and I believe we can orchestrate a trade or partnership that benefits both of our groups.

However, if Xeno Relics aren't of interest, I'm confident that there's something you desire. We have the means to obtain it for you. We are open to exploring various avenues that align with your goals.
