Senora,

We very much appreciate the compliments you pay our ship and technology, and totally understand why might wish to obtain one of our fighters.

Normally in the instance of Corsairs these ships are restricted to a few trusted clans such as the TBH, Benitez, or The Sails. If you have a reference from one of these clan chiefs it would go a long way to support your application......Could you provide this? If not then please let us know why?

And by the way, we in the Hogosha are businessmen, so we are asking the question....What's in it for us given the cost of diverting manufacture of a ship for the use of a Corsair Independent pilot? Clearly, for a start, we would demand that you do not use this ship to harm any of our allies under the condition that if you are found doing so, we would immediately reclaim the hardware. This includes no taxing in Kusari, that's our territory.

Now then... as to a fiscal agreement.....Given satisfactory references, (see above), would you prefer to pay a lump sum one off payment to our coffers or a monthly license fee?

The Hand
