Mr. Varcona -

Well, I'll give you credit for asking.

Amazing how a secret base isn't that secret, isn't it? Anyway ...

The Guild does claim ownership of the cloud. And we have defended that claim in the past, quite violently, and will continue to do so in the future - especially as we mine it ourselves. Having said that, I'm also a realist.

Therefore, I will grant to the S.E.F. - and the S.E.F ONLY - limited permission to mine within this cloud. However, there are three conditions. One - you may not mine within 20K of Dabadoru. This is, in part, due to our own actual operational concerns and has nothing to do with the contents of the cloud itself. Two - during your mining operations it is entirely possible that you will at some point end up collecting the remains from certain ships that we have an interest in examining. You will surrender those remains to any of our ships that you encounter willingly and without hesitation. (Obviously, of course, if you don't encounter one of our ships while in the course of your operations, do with them as you will. Just don't get greedy and try to hide them.) Third - fees. A simple 1 percent of the net profit from your operations as a licensing fee. You make 100 million from mining, you send us 1 million. ( to BHG|Core-Athena )

Let me know if these terms are acceptable to you.
