Mr Oranos.

We are apologize for the large delay in response from BMM. We had yet to receive your message from the spam folders, due to the fact it was wrongly addressed to Bretonian Mining and Minerals, rather than Manufacturing. Please be sure to distinguish the two in future endeavors.

Regardless, we are pleased to hear that Atlantis is willing to cooperate with BMM on this matter. In previous years, BMM has assisted smaller mining firms reach their short term goals with pleasure and we are ecstatic that you are considering us for your mining related business.

While we can understand your ambitions to mine in the Taus however, we must draw some lines.

Firstly, BMM and the Crown Services hope to return to the Taus at the end of the Gallic occupation. This involves taking back lost stations and resuming our heavy mining operations in the area. It has been a long time since BMM has graced the Tau systems, and we are eager to return someday in the nearby future and reclaim what was lost to us.

Secondly, this means that we are willing to license you the Arrastras necessary for your prospecting, but we require something in return. Due to our lack in operations in the Taus, we demand that any data found from your digging and scanning be copied to BMM, so that we may have a clearer understanding as to what's going on in the region.

If these terms sound suitable to you, reply with your affirmation and we can discuss the methods of acquiring these vessels.

Signed,

Wilbur Hughes.
