Hello,

Today by chance I have followed some unknown pilots to see if we can get more recruits for The Syndicate. Amidst the negotiations they lead me to an unknown (to me) system, where I met someone I haven't seen in a long time - pure unapologetic Royalists.

The contact went well - neither side engaged in hostilities and we went to talking business, after all was said and done they even made sure I safely make it out of the system, for which I sent a friendly 1,000,000 credits. I tried my best, I really did. But at the end of the day I am a lowly Niobium hauler, that tries his best to use his measly patrolling and fighting skills against The Outcasts, the only people I really hate with a passion, part-time.

The opposing side were patrolmen themselves, and after a prolonged effort from both sides we realized neither side has the deep knowledge, or authority, to confirm if there will be a business opportunity or not between our peoples.

And here I am - en route back to Java, doing as I promised - getting our respective leaders together. I will freely admit that I am in over my head, and I hope people with authority can decide whether there is potential for business, whether we will be foes or friends. or if there is no compatibility here and nothing to discuss.

[23.04.2021 22:27:14] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: No I just fly part time before returning to my estate to sip on wine in the evening.
[23.04.2021 22:27:26] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: What do you think?

[23.04.2021 22:28:01] BMS|Gamma-1: Well I am flying a bomber, doesn't mean I am a military man *laughs*
[23.04.2021 22:28:12] MdG/-Lionel.Raoult: That is hardly military-grade.

[23.04.2021 22:31:04] MdG/-Monarque: We didn't engage in hostiles because you haven't done anything to offend us. Yet.
[23.04.2021 22:31:22] MdG/-Lionel.Raoult: We aren't going to make trades to a peasant ore hauler. We'll inform our command to expect a message soon.
[23.04.2021 22:31:29] MdG/-Monarque: Although if what this Auxo pilot says is true that could change very quickly.
[23.04.2021 22:31:46] A/)-Spinel: Time will tell with these Syndicate miners.
[23.04.2021 22:31:52] MdG/-Marc.Toure:: And for the moment we have no reason to doubt them.
