I must clarify that the Guild does not engage in any illegal activities within the House of Bretonia, nor are we interested in cooperating with you on such matters.

However, speaking hypothetically, if I, as a private individual, were to entertain a proposal such as yours, it would indeed seem advantageous for both parties to alleviate the already overburdened bureaucracy of the troublesome weight of gold. As you’ve rightly pointed out, the rest of the sector would benefit from such an arrangement.

That said, one would naturally wonder how you propose to execute such a deal without drawing the attention of others, particularly your colleagues. Hypothetically, if an exchange were to occur and be discovered, it could create significant complications for both sides.

It does make me glad to see that the Guilds reputation stands strong.

The situation CDI and the local corporations face in Tau-31 is, of course, most unfortunate—assuming the "rumor" is true. It would be entirely understandable if such circumstances necessitate the use of those aging Percheron-class transports. Should the unimaginable occur—though god forbid—the Guild will, as it always has, extend its support. We stand ready to assist any vessel in distress and will grant docking privileges at a nearby modular installation under our operation.

As you’ve said, it is indeed quite fascinating... though I sincerely hope such an event does not transpire within the coming weeks.
