Konnichiwa,

My name is Kurihara Michi, a representative of Musashi Innovations.

I am inquiring if you are interested in a short-term contract in the coming days that will require non-disclosure and discretion. We will be looking to do a very high value convoy across quite a vast region of space for a marketing event, and will require additional, very competent security vessels to safeguard the convoy. The venture is predicted to take approximately two to three hours.

We are ready to pay a significant amount of credits for security detail should you be willing, including potential stock if you seek to obtain a partnership.

I will disclose more information upon confirmation that you are open to the prospect, and an agreement to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

Let me know your thoughts.

Ms Kurihara,

I am Isaiah Steffen, Chairman and CEO of Aegis. We would be more than happy to assign you pilots to accompany your convoy according to any needs your company requires, if the payment is satisfactory. We will agree to your non-disclosure agreement. Please release the relevant details of your proposal.

-Isaiah Steffen
Chairman and CEO of Aegis Initiative

Mr. Steffen,

I appreciate your prompt response.

The escort duty will entail a convoy traveling across a variety of points in Sirius, starting from Kusari and navigating across the major Houses in a marketing event. Musashi Innovations is planning to provide 'samples' of technology in order to procure partners and get its name and reputation for quality products out into the colonies.

The event is likely to start on the evening of the 20th of December, approximately 5:00pm Sirius Standard Time (subject to +/- one hour change). While we will have our own defensive escort, as you may understand, a convoy containing hundreds of millions of credits worth of cargo may not deter the typical 'Grinch' characters to ruin our little Christmas giveaway. As such, we would like to bolster our security force with a few Aegis pilots, should these be available on the specified date.

As we may be meeting with the less-than-savoury types along the route, we will include a bonus for tight lips and restraint should we encounter such, as we intend to operate on an exclusively-defensive status. Currently, we are willing to offer a 10,000,000 credit pool to distribute to the interested Aegis pilots. Alternatively, should this venture be successful, the pilots or the Aegis organisation may also seek a partnership to acquire a certain number of specified technology (space and ground barrier shields, space weaponry, personal defense weaponry, etc.) for free after the convoy concludes.

Would you find these terms agreeable?

Ms Kurihara,

The terms are agreeable, and indeed, extremely generous. I've notified the Sector Commander in Kusari of the terms of the contract and the nature of the operation.

I've additionally allowed for the redeployment of pilots from other sectors to join in if they wish, and we can confirm that at least 3 of our ships will be participating. Be sure to notify us in case of any changes in time or other changes in the operation.
