To Natalie Callahan.

[The Clearinghouse]

Greetings, Sargeant Daniel.
I heard from one of my colleagues about the rather unique opportunity to acquire some rather fine hardware of yours in exchange for financial compensation.
You will find that the twenty million credits for eight units have been transfered, and I will be picking up six Mark V's and two Mark IV's.
I do hope you will add my name to the shortlist of allowed recipients, callsign Mr.Dark

Happy with his Purchase,
The Auctioneer.

I hope you don't mind, but I sent a little business your way. A few trusted associates who work with me.
Sincerely,
The Auctioneer.

Good tidings once again, Miss Callahan.
I must tell you, I am very pleased with the last bit of business we did; the guns are quite useful.
That being said, I heard you are at it again, this time with Bayonets.
Nifty little fighters; I've seen a few Hackers who use them during my time at Leiden Base.
I'm wondering just how many you have to spare; a man in my position finds it useful to have lots and lots of disposable ships that are untraceable to lawful authorities.
A man in my position also happens to have lots of credits lying around as well; and a good agent never forgets his friends should he ever come across something interesting.
After all, sharing is caring.
Sincerely,
The Auctioneer.

We must know more about one thing, SIR.

HOW MANY?

[The Clearinghouse]

Four? Four would be a good number, if you would be so graciously willing as to allow me that many.

[color=#444444]➸ [color=#AAAAAA]Towards: [font=Courier New]The Clearinghouse

[color=#333333]➸ [color=#999999]Regarding: [font=Courier New][color=#BBBBBB]LHX-F1A-series Heavy Fighters

[font=Microsoft Sans Serif][color=#99AAAA]Bonjour. Madame Callahan is indisposed at the time being but I am authorized to conduct this exchange of goods with you as necessary, moniseur.

Given that I am trés certain that you would prefer to exchange raw currency for the four heavy fighters, I would merely like to establish some terms of usage before proceeding any further.

The vessels will never be used in hostile acts against the Lane Hackers or the Hellfire Legion.
The vessels will not be used in hostile acts against the Unioners and Xenos except in self-defense.
The vessels will not fall into the hands of any organization which by itself can be seen as belonging to the "lawfuls" of Liberty.

Trés simple, oui? 'Owever, as I am certainly aware that you are wishing to purchase those vessels for other ladies and gentlemen, it is of course a necessity that we are given the identification monikers under which those vessels would be used in the future. Of course everything will be treated with discretion.

Should you find the above terms acceptable, then the only thing left would be the monetary question. As this would be an exchange of hard currency for metalwork, rather than one involving favors and currency being both exchanged for the vessels, the price for each such craft including delivery and the necessary maintenance equipment would be 145.000.000 Credits. Should you wish to acquire a fifth however, madame Callahan has expressed that she would be likely to give you un discount and lower the price to 125.000.000 Credits.

Au revoir.
