To Yaren Base, Selena Benitez

[MarioR]

Greetings

We don't know each other so please let me intruce my self. My name is Mario and i'm the captain of the Zoner ship Taurus. Miss Selena .. or Mrs. my apologies, i spended a lot of time on Delta mainly FP11, trading, protecting ... so i have good friends there. Today i comed to FP11 to visit then, and one of my friends is Josh, the commodities trader, and he told me that the stock of iridium is extremely low, and is not coming any from Yaren for some time. I'm asking you if there is any problem? Is Yaren stop sending raw iridium to FP11?

Best regards

Mario, captain of the Taurus

"You think they bought it?"

"I don't know anybody that wasn't ever convinced by the old 'use-the-microwave-next-to-the-transmitter' gag. At least it buys us some time."

* On board Fp11 before leaving, Mario looks to Malcolm and says to him not to worry, because they need FP11 to proceed and ship the iridum, otherwise others can get iridum probably even cheaper!"

Expect the first shipment of ore tomorrow, and every four days thereafter. Price will be the same as negotiated in previous agreements.
