Honourable "Rat",
Thank you, noted. I expect 15% from your bonus as well. I obviously could not have sent it directly to myself as the Armoury is tracked.
That would be 107,250 credits.
By the way, I advise you to find a transport-size ship to help you, as it would be profitable for all three of us. They do not need to know of our contract, of course.

You'll get your money, however getting a bigger ship means a lot of credits and higher running costs. You want a higher payoff for a big haul? Shave off 5% from your cut and I'll see what I can do.

"Rat",
Using my authority I have done a small change to the Operation, so I accept your suggestion. Implying that you succeed in finding that transport, of course. You will profit, the transport captain will profit, the Leeds garrison will be reinforced and I will be richer as well. Mind not the Armoury, those reserves are a spider den anyways.
By the definition, a bad deed is one that makes something worse.

You've got some sound advice Admiral, shame you shot yourself in the foot with it. Turns out your little hidden landing pad won't accept transports because and I quote "They attract too much attention."
Yeah, so our little deal has just fallen flat on its face.

"Rat",
I do not remember receiving this message before. It is only now that I notice it, when I opened our correspondence again.
I assumed that you knew that such large vessels could not perform planetary landing, so in my previous messages I implied that you would hire someone with a transport.
Nevertheless, it does not matter. Hiring someone with a freighter might even be cheaper, especially if you keep the sensitive information to yourself.
This is not why I opened the correspondence. I was indeed wondering why my account was piling up dust, but the true reason is Omega-3. Please be more careful next time. I cannot always protect you. Even yesterday, my hand was limited by the presence of Commander Dagon. You noticed how zealous she was. You two almost got us both caught.

Even the best of us get caught some times Admiral and I had the situation under control long before you arrived, though the Coalition Vidar was a bit of a surprise. As for our deal, consider it on hold for now, I'll be back to it time and probably with friends.
Let me know if you need anything extra for your war effort.
