Greetings, esteemed, hum... Moka,

Currently, El Borba is being kicked out of my office after I return to my former post following severe illness. Nice to see such an... eloquent man filled my vacancy. S'like I never even bloody left...

The man sighs

Anyways, bless ol' Miss Jones, but now that new, refreshing leadership has arrived on the Rogue's end, I'd like to, in representation of ToP, reopen talks with the Liberty Rogues. And so, in the spirit of things, I WILL impress you.

The man clears his throat

So this guy's talking to another guy, right? And the first guy says, "Hey, my poop talked to me today", and the second guy says, "Oh, really...", to which the first guy says, "Yeah, guess what it said", and then the second guy said, "I don't give a crap", and the first guy says, "HOW DID YOU GUESS?".

A muffled rimshot is heard

Now that that's taken care of, I'll await further communication.

Truly yours,

"Big Joe"

Haha

That's not bad

I'm some-what amused

And that's hard to do these days

You and your band of misfits are a bit alright

What is it you'd wanna chat about?

Ya got my attention now pal

Greetings, esteemed Moka,

Glad to see my comedic talents don't go entirely unappreciated. What do we want to talk about, you ask? Very simple.

We and the Rogues have had a...colourful past, let us say. A past that was wholefully unecessary. See, I'm a big apologist of the "Where's there's profit, there's friendship" approach. We need not antagonize our two groups like was done in the past when there is such a great potential for profit between out two organizations.

Put simply, here goes: I propose a mutual agreement. Whenever you need anything delivered, we'll make sure it gets there within two days and a 10% discount on the total price. Whenever we may require assistance with any minor matters (Ie: you know what I speak about), and any of your pilots just happen to be around, we can count on your assistance.

Point two is, we would not like to stop here. But for greater deals, greater knowledge and respect must be attained. Let us prove that this band of misfits' got several dozen aces hidden up their sleeves. You'll be impressed.

Sincerely yours,

"Big Joe"

Wadda ya know, Joe?

I know you like things that flow

Like a good wad of Sirius Credits, no?

So how about I direct you where to go

To obtain some stuff I've had no one show

It's a tad different than the Orange glow

So we can test it out so we know

That it's not your average blow

So head to Gallia, Joe

------------

You like my new hobby?

I thought about being a poet once...

But my mum said I was too ugly.

So I shot her.

Now here I am asking you to discover

This new '[color=#000000]drug' that promises to destroy our market.

So that way, I can kill their creators too.

Ten Million Sirius Credits for 500 units of it delivered

To Fortezuma in Humboldt.

Send me the delivery manifest here

And I'll send through payment

Shot, Joe

*chuckles*

Just kiddin'

Greetings, esteemed Moka,

As per agreed:

ToP Archives: LR GS 1

The ten million should be transferred to the ship "[ToP]Slum.City" (minus the quotation marks); we'll take care of accounting from there.

Also, thank you for giving us an excuse to finally go back into Gallia. How I missed the wine!

We'll be here for whatever delivery mission no one else is mad enough to take (also more mainstream stuff, if need be).

Sincerely yours,

"Big Joe"

That Nox you got

We had a slave snort it

And damn it looks good.

Worth the money indeed

I'll pay you a further 10 large

to give me the places you got it from

Your loose lips shan't be comprimised

So discretion is assured by us

Greetings, esteemed Moka,

I'm afraid we didn't purchase it from "somewhere", per se. While following a lead in the upper Taus, we stumbled upon an independent smuggler who happened to have more Nox than intelligence. He sold us the stuff at a ridiculously low price. We're still laughing.

If you're wondering what his name was, I can recall it began with John. I was much too busy scamming him to notice anything else.

As always, we'll be here for the exciting stuff.

Sincerely yours,

"Big Joe"
