~~ ESTABLISHING CONNECTION TO SIRIUS WIDE NETWORK WITH MEDIUM ENCRYPTION ~~
My dear friends,
I'm happy to come to you today and tell you that we have work for you. Due to the fact that ALG Waste Disposal has acquired membership of the SCC (Sirius Chamber of Commerce) we have received a bunch of new rights. And I would be a bad chairman if I wouldn't use this opportunity for the expansion of our great company.
But all development has its price. What we are planning to do is the enhancement of our headquarters, the Dortmund station in order to stay an economic match for Dauman and Republican. This needs various goods, which I want you to transport for us. But now let's start with my wish list.
First of all Deep Space Engineering:
My engineers told me that you are abled to deliver the best Boron one can find in the entire Sirius sector. We are in need of 20,000 (in words: twenty thousand) standard tons of this material for various fireproffing, Duran glass and some permanent magnet engines. Our engineers did a good job with the development of those machines.
I know that there is a heavily enforced embargo, but maybe we can handle out an exception here.
Secondly Gateway Shipping:
Meine Freunde, I do not know from where you get the machinery which is sold on the Kensington Shipping Platform, but we need a bunch of them. The new station parts will be constructed half inside, half outside of the current station and this requires some sophisticated robotics and a good planning. The total amount we would need is 25,000 (in words: twenty-five thousand) units of this.
And now let's come to the IMG:
I know you mine a very rare mineral in the Tau sector, namely Cobalt. To ensure the energy supply of the planned station parts we need to cover the construction with many electrolytic capacitor, made of this material, because of its unique properties. Furthermore our scientists, especially Herr Thauer, are working on a new generation of particle accelerators, which would also require the Cobalt for our home made superconductors. In total we need 10,000 (in words: ten thousand) standard tons of this material.
To draw a conlusion of our needs:
Deep Space Engineering - 20,000 tons of Boron
Gateway Shipping - 25,000 units of robotic components from Kensington
Independent Miners Guil - 10,000 tons of Cobalt
Your effort will not be unpaid. In addition to the profit you will get from our dock workers at Dortmund, you will receive one million per thousand delivered standard tons of your material. But you need to provide me with a camera picture of one of the docking bay cameras of Dortmund.
Please send me your answers here, so our engineers can begin with their work soon.
Schmied out.

I have received your message and acted upon the request immediately. I procured 4000 units of cobalt and proceeded in my Atlas class transport to bring it to Dortmund. The journey was thankfully uneventful, I met no other pilots along the way. The cobalt ore has now been delivered to Dortmund; there is no need to check its quality as I have already done so myself. It comes up to the highest standards of the IMG. I will not fulfill the rest of the quota, as the would deprive other members of their fair share, but I am sure knowing the IMG that the quota will be fulfilled very soon. I hope you enjoy your ore, and put it to good use.
Proof of delivery is below, recorded at approximately 14:00 SMT

Guten Tag James,
thanks for your quick delivery. Our logistics department didn't expect the first one that early. They had trouble to bring all the containers to the right locations in our central warehouse. I will send you the promised reward as soon as possible.
Ou current status is this:
Quote:
ALG Warehouse Status
Deep Space Engineering, Boron : 0/20,000
Gateway Shipping, Robotic Components : 0/25,000
Independent Miners Guil, Cobalt - 4,032/10,000

I have instructed our trade captains to pursue this lucrative and constructive deal. My personal ship, the Gibraltar, has already started the first shipment of the station-building robots for Dortmund. We hope that the exchange of Kensington robotic components will strengthen the bond between our two companies.
The first trip was completed at approximately 15:10 SMT. Two inept pirates tried to rob the Gibraltar of its valuable robots, but our gunners swiftly disabled them both. Below is the proof of delivery of 3930 robotic components:

Guten Tag Charles,
I am amazed. With partners like you we will finish the works on the station faster I could ever imagine. Your reward has already been sent to the Gateway)Gibraltar.
Anton Ivanov here, I am VP in charge of trade here at ALG and just wanted to extend my thanks to DSE and Gateway for their services as well as offer assistance with any future projects of your own. Thanks again and I hope future collaborations can be based on such a satisfactory interaction as this.
-Anton from the ALG-TGX-Orlekov out.
This cobalt came fresh from Freistadt; I had to whack some Daumann with a stick on my way here (don't worry, no animals were harmed) but other than that it was smooth sailing.

Guten Tag Quarton,
nice to hear that we can support each other. With our prospering alliance we will establish at the Sirius market sooner or later. Take some Bier from our brewery at New Berlin, when you will come there one day. And tell the bar keeper that Ralf Schmied sent you with best wishes.
Gateway Comm System: OPEN

Good day sir,
Please find enclosed a Loading bay security cam shot of my delivery of robotic components tp Dotmund Station. No pirate activity was seen enroute and i look forward to helping Gateway complete your order in due coarse.

I have completed a second trip in the Gibraltar at approximately 05:20 SMT. No piracy to report, thankfully. Below is the proof of delivery of the third shipment from Gateway:
