Good day, this is Luis Zavala of the Orex Industries - a newly established company located in the deep Omicrons, namely Omicron Delta.

We are reaching out to propose the establishment of the trade route between Orex Industries and the Mollys. Our company specializes in the production and supply of Iridium, a rare and valuable metal with various industrial and technological applications. We believe that there is potential for a mutually beneficial trade partnership between our two organizations.

In exchange for our supply of Iridium, we are interested in acquiring Gold from you. As you are aware, gold holds substantial value and is a prized commodity in the global market. We believe that this trade arrangement could be advantageous for both parties, allowing us to leverage our respective strengths and resources.

We are confident in the quality of our Iridium and assure you of our commitment to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in all our business dealings. We look forward to the possibility of forging a strong and lasting trade partnership with you.

Please let us know if you would be open to discussing this proposal further. We are eager to hear your thoughts and explore the potential for collaboration between our companies.

Thank you for your attention, and I eagerly await your response.

Good day, Mr. Zavala.

I am Minister Burns, head of the Republican Provisional Assembly's Mining Corps and financial advisor to our Chancellor.

There have been numerous independent traders bringing iridium into Dublin from the remote Omicrons, with some concerning accounts of the situation surrounding Freeport Nine. This situation is not wholly clear to us, and I would appreciate if you could offer some insight into it.

The Omicrons are too remote for us to take advantage of your offer to purchase iridium reliably, though the Free Dublin Shipping Company ships have been known to make the trip before. Still, if your company operates an iridium refinery, I would appreciate knowing more about it as well.

However, I see no reason to deny your request, as the Assembly is always looking for pilots willing to enter Dublin past the blockade, and iridium is useful for Foyle Shipyard's manufacturing processes. Submit your request to Connacht Depot for processing - it is our auxiliary gold refining facility.

Godspeed,
Matthew Jamie Burns

Pleasure to meet you Minister Burns.

What you say is true, there have been plenty of Independent traders from the remote Omicron who've been bringing Iridium to Bretonia. As pompous as it may sound Minister Burns, that type of processed Iridium is nowhere near the quality of Iridium our company is refining and exporting. The cutting edge technology that we've developed on our base in Omicron Delta is far ahead of any smelter you will see. Having said that, I'm glad that you're wiling to work with us as this mutual cooperation can be nothing but beneficial for both parties. If you wish to know more about our base, use the following link - Tokelau Smelter

As for the Freeport 9 situation Minister Burns, it is grim... I hope that the station will be able to recover, but that is me being optimistic. A massive fight that occurred between Corsairs and Outcasts completely ruined that part of the system, two of the Freeport's biodomes were destroyed in a massive explosion and Zoners that remained on the base were held hostage. Once the colossal fight was over, both parties sort of retreated, but Freeport still remained occupied by Corsairs so to say. Even though Corsair presence in the system is much higher than that of the Outcast, there are still areas where they can be avoided.

So Minister Burns, if the Molly movement is looking to send its ships to Tokelau Smelter in Omicron Delta, extreme caution is advised. Omicron Delta is a dangerous system and is not to be taken lightly, meaning - do not go anywhere without a proper escort.

Thank you for your time and for any further questions, feel free to contact me.

Kind regards.
