My name is Caitlyn Cross, I am the Chairwoman of Orbital Spa and Cruise. I hope this message finds you well. We are Business Partners now since the Liner Hawaii entered the Sigma 19 System in 791 AS. The Artifact Trade was a More than Lucrative business for the Corsairs, the Hogosha, and Orbital Spa and Cruise. From our Side, we believe that this Buissnes Relationship was founded both on Profits and Mutual Respect. Often I have Encountered ships of the Cretan House during my Travels and I was always Greeted with Friendly Words and Respect. Often this has led to a Voluntary Exchange of Goods or a Small Donation for Security Services that allowed me to Travel More Safely through the Borderworld. We know your men appreciate good food and drink just as we do, and we are pleased to share these with the expectation that our generosity is reciprocated and that such kindness may spare us from the treatment you reserve for other companies.
But Recent Encounters with one of your Members have sadly Raised the Need for some "Clarification". A Corsair Vessle by the Name of DTR-Verso.Magnesio Attacked both the Liner OS&C|TE|Wanderlust and the Supply Ship OS&C|ONE-Beefmaster. Both Attacks happened in Kusari Space and were done by the Usage of Cruise Disruptors. And while there wasn't any Hull Damage on the Ships, we have to Complain about the Abrupt Nature of the Stops that Caused Other Problems onboard of these Vessels. For the Liner, we have to report that Several Guests have Suffered Bruises and one Particular Old Lady has a Broken Wrist. Nothing that couldn't be handled by our Medical Staff on board but nonetheless an unpleasant event that Caused us to Offer the Woman Free Cruises for the Rest of her Life to Prevent Further PR Problems. Onboard of our Transport Ship, we had thankfully No one was Injured, but Several Crates of Expensive Kusarian Sake got Destroyed in the Sudden Stop. If this had been a Single Incident we would have ignored it and simply Collected the Insurance sums for the Cargo and the Injured Guests.
But as this had happened in such a Short time span and the Same Pilot was Involved in Both Incidents we have to ask for some Clarification in the Matter. We would Like to know what your Stance towards Orbital Spa and Cruise is and if this was a Regrettably isolated incident with this Certain Pilot, or if your Stance towards Orbital Spa and Cruise has Changed in any Way. In the Later Case would like to know what we did to provoke such a reaction. And what we can do to smooth things over and find our way back to the old friendly relationships between us.

Buenos dias.
One of my secretaries sent me this message from you, nice to meet you Caitlyn Cross.
The soldado in the Verso.Magnesio sent the recording of his ship to the Battalion stationed at Honshu, and it seems he politely asked your ships to stop, maybe not in the "polite" way you guys from OSC expect. Those days, the Imperio is in a expansionist campaign to all his borders, so our flotillas are really active in all the fronts, as far as I am aware, its a long time since OSC paid the artifact smuggling taxes, I am correct?
You're entering and leaving our Atmosphere, we open our borders for you guys without, usually, asking much but some friendly donations to the Imperio's war accounts. I do believe we will have to find a common ground, because would be a shame that some heavy ordinance bombers would appear nearby planet Hiran, and drop some anti ship torpedoes on some liner.
So, to prevent any further escalation, and seen you guys would absolutely love to continue the most lucrative business you have across Kusari, Liberty, and even Rheiland, let's make a proper treaty, that I am sure will benefit both parts. In the end, I am man of war, but also a man of business, and life is about negotiating, isn't it?
What could you offer to me that could make me have the proper talks with the border patrol commanders and the war fleet admirals so they stop the hostilities against OSC, meanwhile they do not supply our enemigos, of course.
A pleasure,

I am pleased to hear from you this Fast, it shows me that our Friends in the Corsair Empire take us Seriously. Before we talk about Buisness I would ask you nicely to stop the use of Threats against our Liner in orbit of Planet Hiram. I dont like to play these kind of Threat Games as it only leads to an Unprofitable Exchange of Violence for Both sides. But let me assure you that Orbital has deep enough Coffers to answer such an act of War, and we have enough Friends in High Places within the Houses to make your Expansion Plans into a Distant Dream. Not to mention the Public Outcry within Sirius and Gallia when you would Slaughter Innocent Tourists and Holidayers.
Now as we both made some Vague Threats against each other we will of course not Transfer into Reality, let the Real Talks begin. As for the Incident in Kyushu Yesterday I have to inform you that the Delay in the pilot's Response was Caused due to the fact that her Ship was Fully Automated and she Herself was Currently in the Kitchen, so she needed a while to Notice your Pilots Approach. Our Good Hilda is a Traveling Cook and one of the Best that Orbital Haves to offer, I myself have enjoyed her cuisine a lot in the Past. She is always happy to Supply your Pilots with Fresh and Delicious Meals whenever she encounters them. A Courtesy that she has also offered to your Pilot if I Remember the Flight Records Correctly that I have seen.
Now as for the Matters of Artifact Taxes, you might want to talk with your Cargo Pilots, the Capitan of the Liner Hawaii Pays them always Directly for each Delivery that they are making to the Ship. If they aren't Relaying our Taxes to your Coffers then I fear this is an Internal Problem of the Corsairs. But as a sign of goodwill from our Side I can send you an Extra Donation of 1 Million Credits to a Bank Account of your choice.
Apart from that I believe that you might Confuse our Role in the Artifact Trade. Orbital Spa and Cruise Is not active in the Smuggle itself. We are the Middle Man that Connects your Supply of Pretty Purple Stones with the Wealthy Elite of Sirius and Gallia. Then Believe me you would have it much harder to Sell those to the Ultra Rich without us. We have Brokerd Many Deals over the Years for you and Connected you with many Buyers from all the Houses to Wash Money into your War Coffers so that you could build all these Beautifull Ships and Wage your Eternal War against our Common Enemy of Malta.
Now what I would Like to offer you from our Side is the Following.
A one-time Payment of 1 Million Credits
The Opening of a Hidden Corsair Selling Point for Artifacts on Curacao Similar to the one on the Liner Hawaii.
Free Accommodation and VIP Status for your Pilots and Crews on the Liner Hawaii and Planet Curacao (at a Maximum of 200 at the Hawaii, and 2.000 At Curacao at a Time.)
Free Meals and Booze from our Liners whenever they are encountered. (Please dont Empty our Storage Completly)
Should there be more Demands from your Side then I would be Willing to Discuss them. Sadly we haven't been able so far to Open a Resort on Crete Directly due to some Previous Laws that Restricted these kinds of Endeavors. But of course, we would be willing to Doo such a thing should there ever be a Change in the Legal Framework that Governs these kinds of Projects. Our Experiences have shown that Such a Resort would both Benefit Orbital Spa and Cruise as well as the Planet that Resort Resides on. In Such Cases, we Exclusively Hire from the Local Population and only bring in foreigners if it is Absolutely Necessary and there is no other way to ensure the Functions of the Resort. We also Hire a Great amount of Local Chefs, Artists, Actors, and other kinds of performers for the Entertainment of our Guests. I look forward to hearing from you again and to seeing if we can come to an Agreement on the Proposed Treaty so we can Ensure Good Future Relations between our Factions.

Buenos dias,
Well, looks like the gato also have some claws, I was treating, more than giving some options. But reality is, we do really have some business to attend, lucrative, that high class bastardos love our artifacts, don't they? and without those, you guys wouldn't get that "small" business.
As it is, miss Caitlyn, what you're proposing me is a good deal, you could realize that payment to our proxy account DTR-Vision. When the donation is done, I will consider this treaty sealed. The Imperial accountant will take great care that this more than gorgeous donation will be used to build orphanages, schools, or teach our valorous teenagers of Crete how to wield an assault rifle. I am not much into this type of politics nowadays, not gonna lie, so I trust in the good will of the people. For the rest of conditions you offer, of course our comandantes would love to relax in the liners, aswell as Curacao and Baden Baden, what a good planet, beauty-full beaches, I am right? a shame its full of Rheilanders who don't like much the Corsair presence.
Nevertheless, since you have experience supplying stations and planets, we could need some specific materials some days for some projects that would surely gave OSC some creditos, maybe in the future we could arrange some, if you guys would like it. A shame Cryer got pounded in the vicinity, they managed to hide so many interesting cargo in they'r transports, not sure why we did not worked together in developing a bio-weapon and test it in our "amigos", the Malteses.
Regarding that resort, that would be a bit dangerous, not for us, of course, but I am sure the population of Crete might need some time to get adapted to you before any kind of project like this is done, maybe in the future. But feel free to dock at moore at Freeport 9, its already on repairs, and some mooring ports have been repaired, as well, to check the high orbit of planet Dor, it does have beautiful views of the south pole planetary eruptions.
For anything, feel free to contact me directly Caitlyn.
salut.
