Buongiorno.

Most respected commanders of The Imperial band, I'm glad to report that our yesterday's venture turned out to be fruitful. Allow me to present you all the details.

To celebrate christening of our newest battle capable transport, the -|-Isabella, we took it upon ourselves with our amico Garcia to procure her first victim. Fortunately, search wasn't long. In sigma 19 system, just in high orbit of planet Hiran, we spotted a luxury Yacht named "OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure", naturally in ownership by the Orbital Spa and Cruise. Her captain, Jack Ashton, turned out to be wise enough to comply with our demands to stop.

The captain was given a choice. Either he will give up on all his fuel and supplies, leaving the vessel and her crew stranded in space, or he will allow us to take a major portion of his men to serve Malta, in exchange of leaving his Yacht unhindered. To our surprise, the captain has chosen to allow us to enslave his crew. Our barter has been successfully recorded, and can be found here:

[08.02.2020 18:32:35] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: See it's not going to be fun for me filling a report on this with the HQ
[08.02.2020 18:32:41] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: Right
[08.02.2020 18:32:45] -|-Isabella: ?: Understandable.
[08.02.2020 18:32:46] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: Everything coming up
[08.02.2020 18:32:58] -|-Garcia-Ortega: Got a lot of rich folk in that ship?
[08.02.2020 18:33:15] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: We are flying empty atm
[08.02.2020 18:33:33] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: Just visited Freeport 9 for a little crew time
[08.02.2020 18:33:48] -|-Isabella: ?: Oh, no no no, you are not. There are still 35 loyal employees of your company on board that boat, right?

[08.02.2020 18:34:28] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: You are not taking my crew
[08.02.2020 18:34:54] -|-Isabella: ?: That's what I expected. Thus... proposition is simple. Either your crew, or your supplies and fuel.

[08.02.2020 18:36:01] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: That's not really how a gentleman acts
[08.02.2020 18:36:21] -|-Isabella: ?: I've never been a gentlemen.
[08.02.2020 18:36:32] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: I see that
[08.02.2020 18:36:42] -|-Isabella: ?: So... what will it be. Is the last batch of Fuel worth the lives of your crew?
[08.02.2020 18:36:57] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: Perhaps we can figure out some other agreement?
[08.02.2020 18:37:19] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: Perhaps a transfer of funds would ease the tension?
[08.02.2020 18:37:36] -|-Garcia-Ortega: Maybe some of your crew?
[08.02.2020 18:37:41] -|-Garcia-Ortega: Eyy, ese?

[08.02.2020 18:38:53] -|-Garcia-Ortega: That was easier than expected amigo.
[08.02.2020 18:39:05] -|-Isabella: ?: Just one more thing, Jack.
[08.02.2020 18:39:09] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: I am sorry to hear
[08.02.2020 18:39:24] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: Well play harder next time, puta
[08.02.2020 18:39:37] -|-Isabella: ?: In the name of Maltese Empire, welcome to the Edge Worlds.
[08.02.2020 18:39:46] -|-Isabella: ?: Garcia, did he just insult us?
[08.02.2020 18:39:49] OS&C|Boundless_Pleasure: Cheerio
[08.02.2020 18:39:55] -|-Garcia-Ortega: I believe so
[08.02.2020 18:40:20] -|-Isabella: ?: No, I'm no bully. Let's get home, shall we?
[08.02.2020 18:40:54] -|-Garcia-Ortega: Thank you for your time, ese.
[08.02.2020 18:40:55] -|-Isabella: ?: There are 32 men and women awaiting new life on Malta. Let's not keep them waiting.
[08.02.2020 18:41:18] -|-Isabella: ?: Stay safe, Jack.

New batch of indentured servants have been successfully delivered to our Homeworld, along with few crates of exotic goods, which you will surely find to your liking. Full list of our spoils can be found here:

Still, I'd like to request just one thing beside my cut. With your blessing, I'd like to take ownership of few of those unfortunate souls to serve me on board the -|-Isabella as her crewmen. These people are experienced spacefarers, and it would be a shame to waste their talents in the fields.


Further beyond!
