[Matthias D. Falkenrath]

Guildmaster Erik Nodtviet,

My name is Matthias D. Falkenrath and I am a House Director of Interspace Commerce. I am sure you are very busy the last seven days but I believe it's in your best interests to pay close attention to this message for it is an offer which you cannot refuse.

It should be noted that this is coming directly by the President and the Board who I will represent in this channel as the top negotiator.

We estimate that the economic state of the Core is rapidly worsening at this difficult hour for reasons which were covered and analyzed even by our own media. While we cannot sympathize with your actions especially those against civilians, we are as always trying to see the bigger picture. What lies beyond a mere conflict. And the truth is that the Core is the only organization which focuses on law, order and development of the Omicron region which we consider as the next Frontier in the upcoming centuries.

----------

We are offering a bailout plan Mr Nodtviet, a way out. Perhaps you consider us as opportunists coming to you at this time but don't forget that a number of organizations and business partners have abandoned you and sided with your enemies or simply remained uninvolved. You even managed to unite old and bitter enemies. So one thing is certain; you need to make new friends.

While a large loan for your bailout plan is the best way to wrap up your organizations' economics, we cannot do this for PR reasons. The public outcry would be too great. Instead we are interested in purchasing 55% of the total shares of AP Manufacturing. While the share's price has been diminished the past five days, the sheer number of purchased shares will be a huge economic boost for the Core.

Interspace Commerce extends a hand of cooperation to The Core and APM. We hope you will see this as the first step in a very fruitful and promising cooperation.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen
- Matthias D. Falkenrath
