Affari Esteri

[Fiorella de Marco]

"Bene, Signor Morreti, but for the clarity, I will summarize all the points we have agreed on. The first point is a non-aggression between our vessels save for self-defense for whatever reason, as there might be individuals on both sides who might be still interested in provoking hostilities."

"Secondly, your base in Colorado will be serving as a safe anchorage for our transports and their strikecraft escorts directly involved in the Cardamine trade, Signor Morreti. Other our vessels will, for the time being, not approach, dock and moor at your bases. This will be the subject of change should this alternate Cardamine network will start bearing its fruit for both of us."

"And the last key point of our preliminary agreement, the Xenos will start disrupting the income sources of our underworld foes, especially the Corsair's artifact trade, unless stolen from them by your or our own ships, of course. In case of the Corsairs entering your territory in Liberty for whatever reason, I hope your will deal with them approprietly."

She was still watching him closely while propping her chin with her thumbs and looking calm. She spoke slowly, carefully and relaxed as she had done throughout their business meeting.

"And, of course, you will not attack other our ships carrying Cardamine, even if your base is not their destination, and your competition with the Rogues and the Junkers will not disrupt the Cardamine consumption at large."

"If you agree with all these points, then we will have a toast with a gallic champagne to cement our deal verbally before we will part our ways so I can prepare the deal in its written form for you and my business partners. What do you say, Signor Morreti?"
