Hello, My name is Johnathan. I am a, well, I'm the pilot of a surveyor light miner, and at the moment I'm trying to make my fortune. However, as we all know, space is dangerous. My ship is already fully insured, but myself... well, I'm not. Now, I dont want Life Insurance in the "traditional" sense, What good is being paid lots of money when I'm dead? Money is notoriously hard to spend when you are dead. What I want, is more "Life Assurance" I.E. the assurance that I shall have a life! Alow me to explain:
If I were to be attacked, and captured by pirates, or... slavers, or well, you get the idea, I would of course do my best to negotiate with them for my release. But negotiating is often considered easier to do when the other party cannot chain you up and beat you for disagreeing with them, as well as which, some people... may not be willing to ransom a captive. In which case I would need an outside party to act in my interest, wether negotiating with the captors, or hiring mercinaries to mount a rescue mission.
So my proposal is this, I take a... Hostage Release insurance contract with IC, who I here after all, is an Insurance company. The contract would take this basic form:
If I were to be captured, my ship would automatically send a message to IC|, with as much data regarding the capture as I, and my automatic logs, were able to gather. My ship would also make the entirety of my bank balance available to my IC case manager. IC would then use any and all means at it's disposal to ensure my safe, and healthy release, including such measures as negotiating with the captors, hiring security for an inspace exchange, or hiring mercinaries for a rescue mission. IC will use the money in my bank balance for any costs incurred, so long as they are vital to getting me back. As payment IC will get a 10% cut of any money not used. E.G. I currently have 10 million credits in cash. If IC were to secure my release for 2 million credits ( a common demand for large cargo ships full of valubles I'm told, so surely My own ransom will be less) 8 million credits will not have been used. Thus IC is entitled to $800,000.
If you are interested, I will have my lawyer hammer out the details with you.
Please be in touch,
Regards,
Johnathan.
