Subject: Personal endeavors Sender: Abel Deacon Origin: Elcano Manufacturing Complex, Magellan System Encryption: Delta-Xi-Alpha-Theta Greetings, Mr. Davis. We've spoken a couple of times. Those times, I was representing New Horizon Industries. While I am and will continue to be affiliate with them, today I am speaking solely in my personal capacity. Working as a Freelancer has it's advantages. NHI businesses saw me travel all throughout Sirius. I've visited Liberty, Rheinland, Kusari and Bretonia. I've admired the Taus, got lost in the gas pockets of the Sigmas, saw the misery of the miners in Omegas. I even had unspeakably terrifying encounters in the Omicrons. Long story short, I've seen enough and I am ready to scale down my activities and focus on managing Elcano. But I am also interested in expending my own portfolio outside NHI. Hence, I've been told that DSE is publicly trading shares and this peaked my interest. Our previous talks convinced me that you are reliable, your mining operations and refined materials are top notch, the ships you manufacture are up to a very select standard. Therefore, I am interested in acquiring some shares in your company. But I am unsure about the process. So can you please guide me in what I need to do in order obtain said shares? Yours truly, Abel Deacon
