The hologram shows a young looking man, wearing a business suit, a grim expression on his face as he begins to speak...
Three damaged, five taken out of action, fifteen casualties, five injured. Over eight hundred million worth in repairs, twice that in reparations to the families, over one hundred and six million worth of ore, minimal fees for the damage to the IMG station and civilian traffic...
He sighs.
I believe you made your point.
Needless to say, we are not interested in continuing these hostilities and we come to you first. I am sure you have waited for this.

Glad you got the picture. And because we never actually had a conversation before as you broke into my house, I'll put it down like this.
Gallia isn't your playground.
But none the less, you made it apart of your sandbox even though it was ours, and when we questioned you, sand came hurdling from your hands. This isn't how Gallia works. This isn't a game. You go by our rules, or what happened to your little blubber army will be done again and again.
With that out of the way, I'm going to stand on my tippy toes with awe in my eyes to know what you want to do. Stop these hostile actions? You better have a good reason, or my tippy toes are going to be hurting for nothing.

Yes, after what happened recently, we have made a dual note not to take the throne of Gallia lightly. The only excuse I have is that we did not expect to encounter a figure who takes action. Gallia is indeed different from the rest of Sirius in that regard.
But you know why we come here now. Me and my partner do not wish any more harm to come to our ships, technology or our employees. However, as much as we have seen, your House is influential, rich in both resources and willing groups to support it.
Whatever we could offer from Sirius, we are sure others have given to you on a silver plate already.
Instead of such meager offers, please take a look at us.
The technology we possess and the way we utilize it.
Granted the sirians can offer you goods, but their offer is as good as the way they execute it.
The ability to move things, we have such. Tens of thousands of cubic tons of goods, relocated from one place to another in a matter of minutes, safely and without interference, this we can offer you. Do not waste your money hiring those...dogs and destroy such potential.
We come to you on a humble tone, after the last attack, we do not have much more to lose other than our lifes. Our fleet can aid you in more ways than one might think.

What makes you think we need you, when most everyone flocks to Gallia anyways? You are nothing different than another trade faction wishing to pass into our house. You have one thing that goes for you, which is your jump technology. Sure, you can get us materials quick, but we have external contractors for that.
If I am even to consider this, I want to hear what you will do. I'm not accepting any offers that are fair trades or only slightly help Gallia. It's you actually bending the knee, falling in line with Gallia's laws and willing to be a head on a spike for us to show anyone else who thinks they can mess with Gallia, figuratively of course.

He sighs deeply, listening in on the transmission
Joseph DeFrance, sir, do you really take me for one of the rabble you probably get transmissions from every day? To contribute to the wellbeing of Gallia? Fair trade?
No, you know well why I am here, I want to make money and the reason I am on my knees before you right now is because I have the damn reavers mauling my transports. Yes, let's be fair about this situation, shall we?
Still. I am damn sure you are not letting us off the hook so easily, right? I suppose you do not want money, otherwise you would not have spent it on the bounty in the first place. Goods? I think we both realize how many groups and individuals work for you.
And yes, what sets us apart from the rest is how we do it. And I dare to say we do it well, when we do not have money hungry twats on our tails.
Again, I have nothing else to lose. So when I say that the technology is the only thing to our name, this is what I mean. I have nothing else to offer. We have no alliances, we have no friends. Either tell us how to atone or pull the trigger.

If you say you are much better than everyone else, how about we test that?
I'll strike you a deal. Gallia has a few stations and battleships in and around our newer additions to our house. I want you to supply those, and as well I want you to bring Sirian goods into Gallia. Not just anything, stuff that our Solar Engineering can use to make a base.
We got plans on making Gallia a bit stronger, and maybe get our hands on this technology you are using. It'll be simple, you deliver these "Tens of thousands of cubic tons of goods" for free to assist the Kingdom of Gallia, and I'll be kind enough to drop the bounty while you are doing so. If I can end up trusting you afterwards, I'll open the doors to Gallia for you.
See? Just because we are better than Sirians doesn't mean we are completely rude about it. We have plenty of moral standards to hold true.

The man blinks, his arms still crossed
Oh, ri....wait, what? You want us....oh...
Okay then.
Challenge accepted.
You come from extorting us straight to putting our reputation on the line? Fine. Challenge accepted, you will get your goods. And by god, you will get a lot of them.
Simply tell us what to bring and where and which are the bases in question. That information can be sent via S.K.Y.P.E encoded comms to our jump coordinator. As soon as we are done with the repairs of our fleet, we will show you why we think we are better then your current contractors.

Good. I'm glad we have an understanding after all of this. Though know, you cross my desk in a negative fashion, you'll have more to worry than little mercs.
