Hello there,
I hope all's well on your end! According to what I've heard about your work, you might be the person we need to talk to regarding our search for a specialized cargo vessel. I'm reaching out to you for that reason.

We spotted one of your bulwark construction facilities in Galileo recently - really impressive stuff. The thing is, that's exactly what we were looking for. Basically, a cargo ship that can haul serious tonnage but also take a punch when things get rough out there.

Lately, our business has become more dangerous. Trade routes are regularly targeted by the Lane Hackers, but they are not the only ones creating issues. Safe passage is now, in fact, a challenge because of the Outcasts, Rogues, and pretty much every other group that displays hostility. Not even the LPI is reliable; they are more concerned with bribes than providing real security.

Our company transfers valuable goods through some questionable places, and traditional means of transport are no longer effective. We require a ship that can transport heavy volumes of commodities without failing as soon as pirates appear.

The financial aspect is plain and straightforward: we are able to pay well and swiftly. In addition to having liquid capital ready to go, we are able to provide some very appealing insurance plans for your ships, if you’re interested in it.

Your opinions on availability and viability would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for considering it!

Good morning Ms Sharma,

Thank you for reaching out to us here at Akutan Production Facility here in Bering. My name is August Molitor, Director for the station’s Financial Department, and I will be handling this communication. I’ll be the first to say that I’m surprised to hear from the CEO of such an established House corporation, glad to hear that our vessels continue to be noticed and considered by such, and disappointed that the continued deterioration of security in Sirius is what gives final rise to such notice.

You are right that the Bulwark Class Heavy Explorer is a worthwhile investment for the security of your goods and your company. We currently have one in stock for the price of 15.000.000 cr. If this is acceptable, please transfer the funds to account Akutan and we will begin preparations to transfer ownership.

I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

V/R

Hello, Mr. August.
I appreciate your quick response. The amount of 15 million credits seems to be a reasonable amount. The money should appear in your Akutan account within an hour, because I have already completed the transfer. I've attached the proof below.

Thank you so much for keeping one on hand. Given the current situation, we are pleased we didn't have to wait for one to be constructed. Please contact me when the handover can be completed; we already have a skeleton crew on standby to be sent over.
