Guten Tag Mollys. I certainly hope the holosculptures we have given you have proven to be to your taste. However a simple check up is not why I am contacting you now. Orbital has gotten word of your cleverly constructed base. However its location has proven... disadvantageous for Orbital currently. While Orbital could simply pay the tax and let its ships pass unhindered.

I am curious if you might consider an alternative. Orbital is a large corporation and we have much more to offer than simply credits. And as such we might be able to procure something a common trader could not.

Mister Schultz,


Since your message was first forwarded to me, I've mulled it over. Yes, there is an alternative for your company rather than a simple payment. The Bretonian Crown has constantly over the years bandied about propaganda that the Mollys are naught but common pirates. They do not see us as revolutionaries fighting for the cause of freedom, for an independent Dublin, and a change in the Bretonian government.

The Crown's propaganda simply accuses the original Mollys of murder of the head of BMM decades ago. What they keep from the people is the inhuman working conditions forced upon the workers, that proper channels were addressed with the miner's grievances, only to fall on the deaf ears of the Crown. Instead of forcing BMM to provide better conditions for its employees, fellow citizens of Bretonia mind you, they imposed even worse conditions and covered up their atrocities with the assistance of and at the direction of the Crown.

I was raised outside of Londonderry, away from the Molly struggle to which both my parents and my family have strived at all their lives. I lived day by day through school and university always searching for the truth, of evidence of the background behind our cause. Through the years I have obtained a diary here, a signed order there, pieces of equipment utilized by the miners before the events of Founder's Day and since. Working with both Molly historians and historians from the university and others sympathetic to our cause, with the buik of these items are on display in Londonderry.

Since your communication I have had some of these historical artifacts moved to the Goldern Coin for the display and education of your passengers. Thus I make my price for access through the Coin's blockade. In exchange for access through the blockade, your ships will dock at the Coin both too and from Omega 49 and Dublin. Your passengers will have the opportunity to see for themselves the reason for the Molly struggle for freedom without the spin of the Crown's propaganda. They will have opportunity to speak with veterans of the cause and see proof of Bretonia's lack of care for her people. I will broker no propaganda on our side, they will see the truth, for the truth speaks freely of itself, no embellishment is necessary. Your passengers will learn the true history of the Mollys and of Bretonia. What they choose to do afterwards is their choice.


There you have it mister Schultz. There is my proposal and my price. The ball, as they say, is now in your court.


Aine Moore
Governor, Mollys

After reviewing your conditions and discussing them with the board. They have been found reasonable, if not generous. And for that you have Orbital's thanks. Instructions will be passed down to the captains headed through that area to add an unplanned stop at the Golden Coin disguised as a supply replenishment.

There the guests will be allowed to disembark should they choose to and view the museum. In addition to any other hospitality your station may provide. Orbital thanks you for this generous opportunity of mutual benefit. May future business be as profitable.
