Good afternoon Mr Deacon,

My name is Esme Blake, representing Bristol Constructions and Manufacturing as a part of Shackleton Operations Group. We’re glad to see that the Arcetri facility in Galileo has garnered a degree of notice, though I admit your proposal does puzzle me to a certain degree.

Arcetri operates along extremely generous docking permissions - nearly all parties are welcome there - and our general principles are that customers purchase from Arcetri directly, not that we supply our customer facility ourselves. There is a wide variety of customers for Platinum and, in my experience, Bristol does not have the shipping capacities to supply all of them. There is only so much a company can do, after all. In addition, Bristol generally does not take contracts which have no limit of supplied goods, even if the requested stock keeps at 10.000 units. I cannot after all account for any and all actions made by Elcano management which would utilize that stock of Platinum, nor would I demand that Bristol employees keep watch on the stocks of installations owned by those other than Bristol itself.

As such, I would believe that you are requesting a degree of convenience for your personnel and your ships and that, I believe, does cost. In addition to the normal profits generated by the movement of Platinum to your station, I would request that:

• An additional payment of 500.000 sc be transferred to cargo vessels moving goods to Elcano for any cargo movement of 4.000 units of Platinum or more. Proof of transfers shall be made along this communications line, for which access shall be transferred to our affiliate corporations and groups, as well as proof of payments made to those cargo vessels.
  
• The overall goal shall be of 10.000 units present on the station at any one time, to be continued until such time that 50.000 units of Platinum has been transferred to Elcano.
  
• Bristol independent contractors and affiliate corporations shall take on this contract as desired, with no impetus on those contractors and corporations that the overall goal be maintained at all times.

If this is acceptable, I will be willing to pass on these details to our independent contractors and affiliate corporations.

I look forward to your response.

V/R
BLAKE, ESME
