"Privet. We've met but once before, in Omicron Delta, handling an alien threat.
I will not bore you with pleasantries. I've heard that the Buro has interest in exotic and alien materials and trinkets. I've come into the possession of one myself, and I know to bring supply to where there is demand. I believe the Buro and Tarancon can begin a profitable and mutually-helpful relationship, one of reputable and upstanding businessmen, and unknown and unquestioned buyer, if you understand my meaning.

Herr DOIDLD,
Your message has been keyword flagged and sent to me for handling - as this appears to be a procurement matter.
I am unsure where and when you may have met an alleged Nachrichtendienst asset, but it would be safe to assume that it is not a matter to be known to me or my department. As such, we will need to establish introductions in earnest, if we are ever to engage in business.
I am Christof Fahrmann, tasked with overseeing acquisitions of this nature - I would like to know more about you and your circumstances so as to allow me more context to what manner of goods you are offering to sell us.
Christof Fahrmann, BDM Quartermaster Büro des Marinenachrichtendienstes
I am Doidld Tyatsmr, a Junker, born in Liberty, with some tumultuous circumstances. I am among the survivors of Tarancon Base in Omicron Minor. My experiences with the Omicrons and it's factions have led me to become a "procurer of exotic goods", especially to those who would be kept out of the loop, so to speak. Between the tyranny of the Order, the Core, and the Corsairs, alien artifacts are difficult to get your hands on if you do not wish to swear fealty to one of them, da? There is good money to be made in trade to the less fortunate.
As you may or may not be aware, some more "exotic" systems in the Omega cluster have opened up, creating a sort of gold rush. I have, in my delicate list of business connections, a contact who is fit to obtain things like the exotic metal Osmium, and a unique form of matter that decays quite rapidly. Alongside this, I have recovered, from one less fortunate than I, the artifact attached in the earlier transmission, and my business partner for these Omega ventures has recovered a unique power cell of sorts, a "Hawking Radiation Core", as the Neural Net systems designate it.
Altogether, I'm fairly certain the MND would have use of some or all of these materials. I would have some use for having the MND as business partners, as well. As a very simple example, if I wanted to export these goods in any high capacity to Rheinland, I would need an allowance to captain my Z-8550 transport in Rheinland space.
Of course, that matter is more for negotiations. On the topic of general circumstances, I believe that sums it up."
I'll do something about my superiority complex when I cease to be superior.

Herr DOIDLD,
I apologize for the wait.
We would like to acquire a small sample of this 'osmium' to assess its usefulness to us. Should it prove to be so, we can discuss the process of adding you to our operational collaborator list for the cultivation of more fruitful joint ventures.
Please provide a price and preference for form of payment, and we can discuss the particulars of the transaction.
Christof Fahrmann, BDM Quartermaster Büro des Marinenachrichtendienstes
"I have made contact with our supplier and transporter network. The price they quoted to me was 6000 credits per unit to travel to Rheinland. However, in the interest of fruitful cooperation, I can arrange a transfer to your forces at the Freeport in Omega 41, for the price of 4000 if not 3000 credits per unit, depending on hazard pay for the involved crew.
Of course, that is merely for the raw Osmium material. There are other, more refined products that we can obtain for you at notable discounts, as those individuals find themselves in Junker's merciful debt. There are alloys with Platinum and Iridium, and of course we could discuss prices on these as well, if they catch your interest.
The call has been put out to my supplier, we expect to have 300 units for your testing purposes, and we will contact you when they are prepared."
