Mr. Shulze.

One of our operatives has managed to secure a run down warehouse on Sprague that should work as a transfer site for moving your supplies to our base of operations. I will attach the address to this message.

You should be aware, however, that the BIS is paying special attention to the Kingdom's colonial interests in the system and will likely subject your transports to checks and cargo scans before you're allowed to enter orbit. I would advise against compromising the Guild by implicating it in dealings with us, to say nothing of compromising our own supply network. Ensure your people have a rock-solid alibi before you commit them. Do not, under any circumstance, transport illegal cargo, weapons, or munitions to the surface. We can handle that ourselves.

Food, medical supplies, machine parts, consumer electronics and mining tools are all needed in bulk quantities and should be easy enough to explain. Building materials, metals and alloys also work, as we can use them to make what we need.

I would also like to discuss a possible supply corridor into Dublin. As you know, the unstable jump connection to Omega-48, though it runs a number of other risks, allows us to completely bypass the blockade in New London. Furthermore, if I recall correctly, the Guild still has a number of operations in the area, including a station. A small flotilla of freighters based from there could greatly aid us in supplying Arranmore and Connacht.

Godspeed,
Matthew Jamie Burns
