How do Mr. Lawson. pleasure to make your acquaintance. Been a spell since we'€™ve heard from you boys in the Ministry of Defense.

Pleasantries aside, lets get to brass tacks. I'€™ve taken a look at your requirements, and there'€™s a few issues that I can see bitin'€™ us in the behinds. The commodities and quantities of each ain'€™t no problem; my boys can have that done in no time'€¦except fer that there Scrap Metal. Junkers kind of have a stranglehold on that one, and ain'€™t nobody sellin'€™ that stuff that ain'€™t a Junker. Might we could do some negotiatin'€™ with'€™m over at Trafalgar and get to scrappin'€™.

As for escortin'€™ ships to and from Scarborough, it ain'€™t really necessary from my perspective. You don'€™t seem to be asking for nothin'€™ secretive or earth shattering. Normal day-to-day operations at Scarborough. If it'€™s a stickin'€™ point, I'€™m sure we can make some accord.

The big problem I see is closin'€™ down Scarborough. She'€™s a big station, and there'€™s a lot of people dependin'€™ on her to provide. We'€™ve a contract with Rheinland right now to supply Super Alloy in exchange for the vehicles the MoD needs to keep up the good fight. If the Station does indeed need to be closed, I'€™d have to rest the job of security onto the MoD'€™s shoulders Mr. Lawson, as our ExSec division is still fairly small, and tasked with keeping the lanes clear for our transports. Perhaps after a sweep of Scarborough by your men, and maybe a week'€™s quarantine of the facility, you and yours will be satisfied and open the Station up for business again.

Subsidiaries aside, I'€™m sure a project of this import would require the tried and true services of Borderworlds Exports proper. You just let me know if the terms are to your liking, or negotiable, and we can work out a deal to both of our mutual satisfaction.

Respectfully,
Pete Conroy
Director of Operations
