'Ola heu...*look embarrassed* How should i call you? Machines, artificials entities... well guess it's doesn't matter much!
I'll get straight to the point! Few days ago, one of your "drone" if i can say, entered in contact with one of our convoy. It's fortunate that some of your drones have a human protocol installed onboard.
The unit PRIME|Empathy told us that your "civilization" *grin* need various minerals. The flight leader asked him to upload informations to your datas but its seem thats after some defects, the drone crashed and was never able to fulfill his task!
*take a sip of rum* Awww!!!
We are baffled about the request and we decided to contact you to know what's are your current needs and maybe we can make some sort of agreements that would benefit both side like its did with the artifacts contract.
Hope to hear what its all about soon!

"Greetings, Corsair Traders."
"What we need the minerals for is only a matter of experimentation, so there is no need to bother wrecking your brain over such thoughts."
"However, the amount - or rather the variety - of minerals and metals we require are considerably high, making it a reason to use your head a bit."
"And we are certain, that you will not be able to bring us all of them, but we are confident in your... 'acquisition skills'..."
"After this conversational sequence, there will be a full list of what we will need, as well as approximate amounts of what we seek."
"Now, we know humans well enough to know that nothing is for free. But as you might know, we AIs do not posess 'Sirian Credits', nor do we plan to earn any in the future"
"What we already proposed to you would be additional - active - defensive patrols in any system that does not contain 'Jump gates'"
"I do believe I already explained why such systems are not possible for these patrols"
"Furthermore we could spare a few factory wings to create whatever you desire, as long as you provide the blueprints and material"
"I do hope, this is a pleasant agreement. We will await your answers."
