Bonjour Gallic Metal Service, I am Jacques Closeau, captain of the IDF ship Sacre|IDF. Today, we need to hire some miners to mine for us and bring back the Beryllium Ore to our base named Seychelles, located near the Tau-31 jumpgate. It buys for 4000 a unit I think, but I'll have to contact the manager of the base. Can you approve of it?

Jacques Closeau, out.

Bonjour Monsieur Closeau,

We, at GMS, have watched with interest the building of Seychelles. It was built very quickly and we were wondering what its purpose was. From you communique we take it that it is a Storage Facility for ore. This has left us mildly puzzled because, as you know, we already have our own Storage Facility near the ore fields. We have recently extended it to increase our capabilities.

Now to the crux of the matter. Why should GMS fill up your Storage Facility when we have our own close by? I will leave it to our Miners to make the final decision but I would suggest that you increase the price at which you would buy the ore from them if you expect to get a decent volume of ore delivered to Seychelles.

I wish you bon chance in this venture.

Pierre St.Denis
