Good evening, Comrade Setiawan.
Your request has been considered by the Assembly and we have agreed to set aside five damaged Z-5500 Bloodhounds to be repaired and transferred to your comrades. However, this has not been an easy ask and it is not granted lightly.
As you know, our pilots are engaged in a bloody campaign to expel the Corsairs from the Dublin system while trying to mount pressure on the Crown's forces. Such campaigns have their costs, and in the time it takes to construct a new Harrier multiple salvaged Bloodhounds can be restored to active service. They may not perform as well, but these ships have value to us as a movement while we struggle to match our opponents ship for ship with out limited facilities.
We are going to need some materials delivered to repair these ships before they are ready for use. You can drop them off at Connacht Depot - our supply ships will handle the distribution from there. Each Bloodhound will need:
- 1000 Basic Alloys;
- 1700 Industrial Materials;
- 50,000 Cr. to compensate the repair crews' work to be sent to RPA|War.Chest.
This is Eloi Buenaventura, representing the crew of the Kongsi trading vessel Ascaso. Seems we were active in the area at the right time to fulfill this order. You will find the trade manifesto associated here, your folks at Connacht can crosscheck if necessary.
Our friends in the ALG have thankfully proven themselves extremely capable at this type of manufacturing work. Rest easy that the goods are of excellent quality and that not a single credit has fallen into the hands of the Crown.
The monetary remuneration should be making its way into your war chest as soon as it is cleared by our requisitions office as well.

Comrade Burns,
The cost to the Assembly isn't something we underestimate. We're usually loathe to deal in credits, but we understand the necessity of it. Our comrades in the accounting union have set aside the funds and wired them to the account provided, and've informed me that we've got some more to spare if it would help make up for the loss of these ships.
The entire Syndicate thanks you for findin' a way to make this work, and offers our assurances that we'll use these vessels to the best of our ability to strike at our mutual enemies where they're least expectin' it. We'll send either the Bella Ciao or the Bayern around to pick them up once they're ready, and we'll be happy to share their callsigns once we've set them up so as you can quickly identify them in space if need be.
As always, if there's anything further we can do for you, just give us a ring. I do believe Tom helped out with a mining op recently, and Rezz's crew onboard the Siak have been in the area plenty as of late -- if you're findin' your supply lines strained, either in or outside of Dublin, we've had no trouble with the crownies, and had little reason to fear their pathetic "blockade".

Good evening, Comrades.
You will be glad to hear that the requested Bloodhounds have been repaired and await transfer at Arranmore Base. Use them well.
I continue to be impressed by your people's efficiency. Yet again you have delivered the required materials in record time, inspiring our crews in turn to complete the repair tasks as soon as possible.
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Speaking, Heinrich Bauer, foreman with Riau's accounting union. The Bayern has retrieved the Z-5500s from Arranmore, and dropped off a bonus for the Assembly, both as thanks for your willingness to share as well as in solidarity with your continuing war against the monarchist oppressors. For your own records, the vessels have been callsigned as follows:
The electromechanics' union will be adjusting their propulsion systems to optimize them for usage in asteroid-rich environments and mounting suitable armament to them over the next few days, and they should be seeing active deployment within the week. The foremen of the escort pilots' union have asked me to once again thank you for your amenability to this request, and to please relay any requests for military assistance against the barbaric Corsairs through Mx. Setiawan at any time whatsoever.

Good day, Comrades.
I hope this communique finds you well. There have been news of violence in the border worlds amidst the ongoing silver rush. I suppose in their infinite greed, the corporations have laid claim to IMG's historical mining sites? History rhymes with itself, it seems.
Once the crisis is resolved, I would like to meet with representatives of the Guild in order to discuss future cooperation, mostly in the matters of gold trade. Guildmaster Albert Schulze has already agreed to join me aboard Connacht, but perhaps Kongsi Syndicate would like to send someone, as well?
Well, since my comrades seem to be content to leave this to me and with other personal business keeping me in the area. I'm your man for a representative from the Syndicate.
Must admit I've been bloody well curious at getting a peek at your op' on Connacht and a chance to see ol' Albert again is a lovely bonus. Just give us a shout for the when and I'll be there.
