Ms Casta, it's a pleasure to hear from the Ghosts. Allow me to address your points.

Regarding security - the best defense we have currently is that fact that very few know about the Bazaar, much less its location.
We do have some defensive platforms and a small number of civilian-grade snubcraft, but that won't deter a veritable siege. I know we're out of your reach and I don't expect any military help.
Hopefully, we'll never need it anyway.

As for economic help: That would be appreciated. As I mentioned, we're currently exporting your fine product, but when we have more space available, we'll be importing again as well.
I'll inform you personally when we'll be buying, I do hope we can strike a good deal.

And finally, it's good to hear from you personally. I really didn't think I was ready to take over the Syndicate - and honestly, I still don't know if I am. But for now, everything seems to be sort-of-working out.

It's good to hear I haven't been forgotten. Neither have you.

- Kind regards, Elise
