A warm greetings to you, esteemed friends in the Guild.
It's been some time since I've had the pleasure to personally reach out and touch base with you. I hope that the years have been kind. The Technocracy and The Guild have shared a long, positive relationship since the very conception of our society. The Directorate feels it's time we further expand upon that relationship.
In recent years, we've found ourselves in a struggle for maintaining sturdy supply lines. The Technocracy of Auxo has tasked me with seeking to establish formal trade relations, in the form of renewable import and export contracts for raw and refined mineral resources. Perhaps even more, should the Guild be interested in being paid for basic supplies. However, trade isn't the only benefit that may bolster our two groups.
There's many technological advances that the Technocracy has achieved, and can be pushed towards exploring. Our cybernetics and augment hardware has a variety of uses - including industrial safety applications - and is unmatched in its quality. In addition to a handsome and regular amount of credits, The Technocracy would be more than happy to provide access to tailor-made augments and cybernetics - ranging from full limb replacement to basic optical sensors that may be beneficial in surveying new sites for the Guild to set up operations.
As we expand our operations in the Omegas, we look to you and your years-long presence in the region and have asked ourselves: What can we offer? To that, we say mutual security. Joint patrols, protected mining expeditions and deep space convoy operations while under Technocrat protection. Beyond aiding the Guild in securing their various claims in the region, we'd be more than happy to solidify trade route security.
Furthermore, should our efforts in securing trade routes prove fruitful, we may look to facilitate communications with other local organizations in an effort to assist the Guild in building bridges and ties with neighbors in the region. It's my hope to establish solidarity and mutual interest in greater prosperity for The Omegas as a whole.
With that said, I eagerly await your response and leave the channel open to whatever counter-proposal you may have.
I am glad to see that the Technocracy of Auxo is reaching out to the Guild. Recently we haven't been formally in touch but we've noticed your ships have been giving our folks a hand, and that definitely hasn't gone unnoticed. It's good to see our friendship is still alive and kicking.
Regarding the matters of trade, import, export, and supply, the IMG's proficiency and reliability in these areas are well-regarded we typically operates on a cash basis. However, your offer of high-quality augmentations—distinct from the shoddy black market alternatives or those possibly compromised by spyware from the houses—makes this deal particularly enticing. Additionally, the prospect of mutual security is, without question, a smart move.
I'm curious about who else you plan to involve in this alliance, if I may refer to it as such. Given the unique position of the Guild—not being on the "hit list" of the houses like others might be—we have certain limitations on how we can contribute. However, this very status could prove advantageous to the alliance. In summary, we are interested in the offer presented and look forward to discussing further details.
With regards
Albert Schulze, Guildmaster
