It has been almost seven years since I last spoke with one of yours, Jaina Wheeler, so I will properly introduce myself in case she is no longer among your top management -- my name is Fiorella Arianna de Marco. I am one of the more prominent Outcasts representing Malta in Liberty and beyond.
As we had little to no contact during these long years, I would like to know which services you are willing to provide for us, if any at all.

Exma. Sr.ª De Marco,
My name is Pantalião Vascoguoncellos, Agent for Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing. Apologies, but our Board has become quite preoccupied with certain diplomatic efforts. As such, I will be handling this communication. Your notoriety in furthering the Orange Dream is known to me, after all.
As it stands today, to what services Bristol may provide to Malta, it seems to me that a provision for shipping could be provided for. I would personally wish to know exactly what it is that you desire though, senhora, as normally it is the client who makes such a request known.
It seems that reputation is preceding me -- I am flattered.
I do not possess any particular request at this moment. I was merely curious about your company's willingness to partake in trade with us, so I might include you in my economic report for the Council of Dons. Does your company have any restrictions regarding cargo or destinations?

Exma. Sr.ª De Marco,
I think I can say, with a lack of specifics on cargo or destinations, that Bristol could be generally capable of providing some shipping to Malta’s efforts. Since such would be…likely for construction of one type or another, most of these materials would be of a traditionally legal nature. Of course, if you are considering a more high value material…this would be certainly more difficult if not impossible for Bristol ships, though I could point you in the right direction.
I can only presume that you are finding some interest in the Omegas now that a number of reports have surfaced on new systems being discovered in that region. After all, the rest of your near territories, the Taus for instance, already play host to Malta’s stations or ones friendly to your interests. And so, what is left are these Omegas. Am I correct in this?
How comfortable are your crews when venturing far away from the Colonies to the Edgeworlds?
I would not worry about the Omega region. It is too far away for us to matter, and our activities there are relatively limited in scope. Whether it will change in light of the recent discoveries is something to be seen, yet I personally doubt it.
It came to my attention that your company is manufacturing a unique class of armed transports. Would you be inclined to offer them for purchase? I am fairly certain that the Lane Hackers would be more than capable of obscuring any electronic trail existing between your company and Malta.

Exma. Sr.ª De Marco,
How willing Bristol crews, and their captains, are to venture into the Edgeworlds and indeed the Omicrons depends very well on the captains and crews themselves, senhora, but I can say with good confidence that there are enough of either to make the event a possible one. I myself have traveled from Nevers to Malta, Dublin to Red Hessia, though never for long. Hessians make for poor friends, in my experience.
As to the ship - the Bulwark-class Heavy Explorer I would say - they are currently available for purchase. For the matters of paperwork and registration, as well as honest deniability, we would need communications from a shell corporation or organization. Preferably, in light of your connections to the House, one from Liberty - Synth Foods, Universal Shipping, something of that sort? The choice is yours, so long as it is not Samura or DSE, but I take you for a more intelligent woman than one to try that.
I have set the necessary wheels in motion, so to speak. In the near term, you should hear from a new Synth Foods branch. For prudence’s sake, I shall signal you the moment everything is in place.
One more question: is the offer you extended intended exclusively for me, or may I inform other interested parties on Malta about your conditions?

Exma. Sr.ª De Marco,
This sale is occurring by partial virtue of the previous work done between yourself and Bristol, by partial virtue of your own trustworthiness. As they lack that first trait, they must have a great deal more of the second. I would not disparage any of the Dons in saying they are untrustworthy, and I’m sure you agree that to disparage any of Malta so would be in connection to disparaging that Don, but such things need to be demonstrated to be known.
Sales to others of Malta would need to be…accompanied by certain guarantees of their future actions towards the company. I’m sure you understand the position.
