Ladies and gents, I bid you all good day.

I have acted on my own accord, grabbing the bull by the horns so to speak with regards to a recent hostile-like toned communication with the aforementioned Corsair group.

Uploading Neural Net communication

Now, I don't wish to lie and say that I've beaten down Mr Massimo Insigne, or indeed his wonderful assistant Miss Alejandra Silva.

The tone of the communication to me personally came off as rude and disrespectful, a demand rather than usual business.

As soon as war or the threat of life was in the air, I had to personally attend face to face. I'd rather jump on a bomb to save others than allow anyone from OSI to be caught in flames they did not light nor deserve.

The Meeting

The outcome of the meeting as far as I can make out was in a positive, mutually beneficial light. I don't personally want to rock the boat and upset any Corsair group by involving other's such as The Deterrence or the long known Brotherhood unless absolutely necessary.

I'm giving you all this information to advise of your thoughts, action to take.

I have personally agreed to deliver goods to a Zoner station to the value of their request. The main reason given for wanting it to one of our stations being that Mr Massimo Insigne did not want to have these supplies absorbed into any other effort, due to the goods being for a personal project back home.

Now, I personally advised the goods would be there, at my personal cost and time to ship should you not agree with my actions.

If you agree with my actions, I wish to ask for the rest of our available transports to assist in filling the order.

The over all outcome I was going for was to show that we are very capable hauliers, but need to be shown the same respect as we offer everyone else. That we can't be bullied, that we address things personally.

Please do share with me your thoughts and suggested action.

Harold.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I have received and reviewed your transmission, Mr. Swanley, and I thank you for your initiative and your willingness to stand at the forefront when tensions rise. That said, I must be unequivocal in my position.

Now allow me to remind you that Omicron Supply Industries does not, and will not, concede to agreements that are not founded upon mutual respect. Commerce built on coercion is not commerce—it is capitulation. We are neither merchants of desperation nor servants to hostile intent. The tone you describe is not merely unfortunate; it is unacceptable. I therefore formally denounce the practice of providing updates, concessions, or logistical transparency to any party whose approach carries even the shadow of force, threat, or undue pressure. To do so would set a precedent that invites further erosion of our standing.

You acted with conviction, but understand this clearly: no commitment—personal or otherwise—should place OSI in a position where it appears compelled rather than consulted. We do not reward aggression with compliance, however veiled it may be. This matter requires alignment at the highest level.

I request—no, I expect—that you present yourself at my office in the Nichols Trade Center at the earliest availability. We will discuss your course of action, the implications thereof, and the posture OSI must maintain moving forward.

Until such time, no further action is to be taken regarding this arrangement without my explicit authorization. We will conduct our affairs with dignity, or not at all.

Regards,

Bartholomew Kelsomagus - Chief Executive Officer - Omicron Supply Industries
