to: Borderworld Exports

To: Guildkeeper Decus, Guild Core.
From: Acting DO James Cromwell, Bowex.
RE: Possible cooperation.

Good day to you Mr Decus. I am writing to you on behalf of my company, Borderworld Exports - Bowex. My men had already notified me of their encounter with you. We were just as surprised to see you as you were us, it seems. Considering it was an agent of the Bounty Hunter's Guild who sold us the route to the system - an affiliate organisation of your own group, I believe - perhaps this surprise is undue. I presume it was not by accident that you found us?

I see no reason to play coy. Yes, you know why we were there - Iridium. Our scouts detected a rather large quantity of free-floating Iridium in this 'Palau' field. We wish to secure a somewhat permanent supply of the resource for Bretonia. Historically, relying on the Zoners has proven to be either unreliable or extortionate. As for boldness... Yes. That is one term you can certainly describe my men with. While the 'ex' in Bowex is traditionally considered to refer to 'Exports', it could just as easily mean 'Exploration'. Fortune favours the bold, and we are most fortunate indeed.

If you have a contract you wish for Bowex to fulfil, we are most certainly interested. As previously mentioned, I can understand your distaste when it comes to relying on the Zoners. Of course, before the Board can render judgement regarding this contract, we will require specific details; the materials required, the quantity, the destination, the payment. A system-wide risk analysis would also be useful, but not essential. The scouts you happened across have already been most useful in that regard.

An outline of what your organisation is doing in that sector of space would also be appreciated, but again, not essential. We understand there are cases where it is best when confidentiality is enforced. Once we have the details I have requested, the Board will be in touch. We will also forward the relevent aspects to BMM. I'm sure my nationalised brothers will be just as interested as we are.

I hope this communication finds you swiftly.
-Cromwell.
