"Dear Mister Allinson."

"My name is Eleanor Freud. I represent the interests of Laramie Incorporated. If you have already heard of us, I presume there is no need for additional introduction."

"We can indeed provide you with the required resources. However, we also would like to point out that Tau space may contain significant potential threats. In view of this, I have little doubt that you will find it prudent that we allocate two Longhorn-class heavy transports to ensure the safe delivery of the goods you require. Since our company is relatively small, this will mean pulling these vessels from their current assignments. Depending on the amount offered, we may assign different priorities to this logistics operation."

"My proposal is the following: for 10,000,000 Sirius Credits, we undertake to fulfill this contract in full within two days from the moment of its confirmation."

"Thank you for contacting us."
