An Offering of Friendship

[BaconSoda]

The room that the LWB had rented for diplomatic purposes could easily be described as spartan. It was conspicuously missing the wall adornments of most "hotels," and the tables, chairs, and beds were quite basic, being hardly more than metal slabs covered with cloth, and a mattress in the case of the bed.

Johann sat at the table sifting through papers, signing reports, and other such things necessary to keeping up with the LWB's diplomatic troubles. Normally, the LWB hadn't many troubles, and the lawfuls mainly left them alone, being sympathetic to their plight, but after the call for a renewed fight by Johann's predecessor, a crackdown on the LWB's activities soon followed.

A bell toned, there was a visitor. One of the two LWB Johann had brought with him looked at the video screen which showed what the surveillance camera saw while the other looked through the manual eye-hole in the door. It was the Junker's Union guard that had been stationed outside the room along with the Unioner Stefan Metzger. Johann signaled to let them in.

Stefan and his men walked into the room, followed by the Junker's Union guard. Johann signaled for him to leave, and he did so. Stefan sat down at the table, while his three men shook hands with Johann's.

"Ah, Herr Metzger I would assume? A pleasure. I am happy to see that the Unioners share our concerns about the direction der Kanzler and his predecessors have lead the House. I am, however, quite concerned as to this 'Herr Lutz,' as our pilots do not stray into Sigma-13. We have no business there....

But, on to the main point, how we can help each other, aside from mutual military assistance.

The LWB has always had logistical problems with repairing our ships, especially our flagship, the Erste Ernte. Over the years, our glorious flagship, the first gift we received from the Hessians, has taken beatings from any enemy that would dare threaten the LWB's home in the Ostnebel. It is quite damaged, and our menial knowledge of ship work prohibits us from repairing it to the best of it's abilities. Our Eagles and Odins are also battered and beaten from combat with the increasingly active RM. Any insight on how to better repair these ships would be more than appreciated. We would like to request some expert help for this endeavor, as it would increase our effectiveness by a countless amount.

In return for your help with our ships, we would like to offer you a chance to shake your dependence on the Zoners. The WVS, though still mainly controlled by Synth Foods, has made great breakthroughs on the planet due partly to our assistance. This has given us a surplus of food supplies with which to give to you. This should increase your surplus of credits a great amount, as we know the Zoners like to charge a lot of credits to those who they know need their goods. We can, however, help you solve this problem.

Does this sound reasonable?"

Johann then leaned back in his chair, confident that he had succeeded in making a good presentation, and folded his hands.
