To: Gateway Interstellar HQ From: Samuel Bates, King's Cross Station Commander. RE: We need to talk.
Good day to you gents.
As you well know, Bowex runs King's Cross as a steward on behalf of the Crown. It seems you lot can't stomach that fact and are out to throw a spanner in the works. How sporting of you. Today, we received evidence which identified one of the little toe-rags that had been setting the station defence perimeter off.
One of yours, specifically. We have guncam evidence and an independent witness' testimony which implicates a certain "John Smith" - Gateway)Sec.John.Smith if you want to be specific - of your own security wing in a direct assault on King's Cross Station. Gentlemen, we are not happy, and you need to change that. Fail to do so, and you will find said evidence winging its way to the Police Authority, various mass media outlets and finally the Crown Courts, where we will be pressing charges.
We are willing to settle out of court, and it's in your interests to do so. Just imagine how tarnished your "goody-two-shoes" image you've been cultivating will fare when news of this little stunt hits the papers. Not to mention the sanctions the Crown will no doubt deploy to punish such juvenile behaviour from such a 'reputable' Bretonian company. If we sue, you'll lose far more than the fine for assaulting a lawful entity, trust me.
So, to summarise - make us an offer. Waste my time, we sue. Waste Bowex's time, we sue. Touch King's Cross again... we come for you. Do I make myself clear?

Subject: We need to talk
Mr Bates,
I assume that you work for Bowex by the mere tone and threats that you portray in your comm message. I can only assume that they dont pay you enough to have any manners.
Anyway, to business.
You claim to have evidence that one of my security pilots has directly assualted one of Her Majesties stations and set off said stations security perimeter.
Please send this to me so i may see for myself. If the pilot has indeed assualted any station belonging to the Crown i will myself sack the pilot and hand him over to the BPA.
However,
If there is no evidence forthcoming i shall take great delight in, ounce again, showing Bowex up for the foolhardy company it is.
Imagine what the papers will say when you try and fail, again, to bismirch Gateway Interstellars good name and you sir, imagine the Crowns thoughts on your efforts. it may even take the contract away from Bowex and hand it to us. Now that would make headlines i bet.
I look forward to the " evidence " that you send me.
