Herr Hollywood,

I will admit, I have been largely basing costs about those proposed as standard by Alster Shipyard, Baltimore Shipyard, things of that degree, and felt that it would be reflected that this ship is not a standard ship, Pacifica not a standard shipyard, and this proposition not a standard one by the additional 10% of payments. Considering Shackleton is prepared to offset shipment costs through Bristol Bay, I thought this would be generally a good proposition and Schiffswerftdirektor Straub seemed to agree. If that does not reflect your opinion, then please by all means set forth a number.

As to my proposition of dead drops to the Unioners, well I felt that it would simply be in all parties’ interests that Pacifica still receive what is deemed necessary for continued operations, other vessels are not impeded in their transit through Bering, and as a result Bristol Bay can operate with further impunity as a Freeport. I know the Unioners already set meetings and transfers in the docking bays there and with a further decrease in Navy patrols I felt more business could be performed by yourself and others. But you’re a direct man and the Unioners a direct organization. If you don’t want that method, then by all means continue in your raids. You do, after all, target competition to one degree or another.

The Rheinwehr escort for our vessel will more than likely not enter Bering. Should they feel the need to do so, then Bristol will simply abide by the directed escort to terminate at Bristol Bay Station. Once the Rheinlanders have left, then we can commence transit to Pacifica. It’s quite that simple. If we wanted to reveal your location to such, we would have done so directly instead of going about all this nonsense. I trust this will demonstrate Bristol’s - and my - commitment to this cooperation. A good amount of blood was spilled in the system and I would do my best to avoid spilling more.

Don’t worry, Herr Hollywood. I try to be one of those dangerous men about the sector. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
