Well met Hector Balzac. The Deterrence receives you.

Few things can make a man's hair stand on their end. Death, Nomads, hearing the words "the alcohol is running out". I have heard that Gallia is a place of class and quality unmatched when it comes to the culinary arts and alcohol, sourcing the most exotic and the best from all around the sector, including Cretan rum. Hearing about your concerns I can imagine the critical problem you're facing. After all, there's nothing worse for a man in your line of business than hearing that your prized reserves are running out.

The Deterrence enjoys worthwhile endeavors. Especially when it involves something as...delicate as keeping Riviera Resort's reputation intact in Gallia. We have had such valuable shipments before, and we take our commitments seriously. So do the clients that have called on us and they are important people who do serious business...

Thus The Conclave has agreed to your request. There will be a transport fleet prepared to deliver the Rum to your Luxury Liner in the Sigma-19 system. There is, howerver a proposition the Conclave would like to present to you.

The transport fleet that is being prepared is very capable of this mission and can ship a lot more than what you have asked for. As you are on the opposite end of the sector, the logistics needed for transporting so little Rum to Gallia will not be worth it. If you agree, the fleet can deliver triple the amount of barrels to your Luxury Liner. I assume that would be enough to refill your reserves and even more.

For the terms of this request - tell me what you're willing to offer in return, and The Deterrence will see to it that the rum flows and your clients are none the wiser. After all, diplomacy is just as much about delivering the goods as it is about making the right promises. Shall we get down to business?
