Miss Lacroix,

Apologies for the late answer; I took some time to consider your offer and I believe I have set up agreeable terms which can let both the Voltaic Junkers and Voltaire Collective profit equally.

Firstly: trading relations. I can't say anything more than the fact that I am interested in this Ore of yours - Molybedium - let alone the Salvage Gallia has to offer. I'll arrange an operation where a Salvager or two will take a close look at the value of these Debris field. All I need from the Maquis are guarding services. If this salvage is worthy to be invested in, then you can obviously assume establishing a wider array of services ranging from salvaging old Council vessels for the Maquis to repurpose up to actively mining the Debris fields with no competition - that means I would like the Maquis to drive out any annoyances that might steal what lies inside.

About the Gallic Black Market...sure. I always wanted to experiment with Gallic technology. Those Carbines and Council Pulses sure look interesting. I am interested to see what your wares have to offer in the future, provided you will keep me updated on how it develops.

Moving on for the more interesting subject: Kusari. It is good to see that you considered aiding the Voltaic Junkers with Kusari. Right now the main focus are its Border Worlds - those include systems between Gallia and Kusari. Right now we have to focus on shaming the Hogosha and by default striking the Kusarian Government as much as possible. This is beneficial for both the Junkers and the Maquis. Why? We get more room to breathe and carry on with our trading away from prying eyes. A joint effort could forever destroy the Hogosha and finally let the Junkers access Kusari whether by force or via diplomacy. Just remember: Hogosha are bad people. Feel no remorse when exterminating their disgusting ships. They're bootlickers to the end - and nobody likes this kind of people.
