The bearded man proudly scratched his beard while smiling.

"Good evening Mister Blackwell.
I sure do appreciate your acknowledgment of this ol' thing. It took me five years of solitary confinement at Mecklenburg Prison to finally get it thick enough. But enough about that; let's get to business.

I'm more than glad that you chose the second option since I was kind of in the mood to make new allies. I noticed I never introduced myself properly. My name is James Hollywood. I sort of run the show when it comes to Unioners. Well, when it comes to most of them at least. So about the second option. This 'favor'. You could consider it proof of trust.

You see I'm currently workin' on a certain deal, with a certain faction. I think this specific deal will be incredibly beneficial for the Unioners in the sector. So much so that I am willing to agree to the other party's terms. Which may or may not result in the other party's prohibitions on our assaults on Xenos in the Bering system. I mean... our 'assaults' aren't ACTUALLY assaults but more of a defensive maneuver. However, that's not the point.
The point is that I know that we will have to honor this certain agreement we are about to make and those damned Xenos will continue to assault our supply convoys in Bering and I can't have that happening.

This is where you come in. There are two ways to go about this problem. Either you can perhaps provide me with some useful information on the Xenos, that I could use to eliminate their presence in Bering OR you can go cause them some trouble somewhere else so that they'll have to reposition their fleets away from my precious cargo.

You can of course choose option C and provide your own solution to my problem. But that's about it. If you can help me solve this I'll have the engineers at Pacifca cook you up a brand new Hel for the standard price and I might even throw in some extras just for you.

You seem like a reasonable man, Herr Blackwell. I think this can be the start of a mighty alliance.

Stay safe out there. I hope I'll hear from ya soon."

The speaker leans towards the camera as the stream ends.
