To: Kapitän Heinrich Falk Subject: Re: Sad News and Urgent Need
Good day Kapitän Falk,
Thank you for your message. Letting go of a station is never easy. Anyone who’s built something out here knows that. Still, there are moments where holding on costs more than stepping back, and choosing the future means making a hard call in the present. I’m sorry it’s come to this, and my thoughts are with Dr. Lorne as well.
OSI accepts the contract as proposed. Pilots are already en route and delivery will be handled as quickly and cleanly as the situation allows. The completion bonus can be routed to the primary OSI operations account. Our finance team will confirm once unloading is verified. Most preferably is payment to the pilots who delivered the needed goods. But I will leave that at your discretion.
Thank you for trusting OSI with this job, especially under these circumstances. We stay where others pull out, and we’ll make sure M.M.L. gets what it needs to keep going.
Hello.
In accordance with the contract between our companies for the supply of necessary resources, I have delivered 5,000 HazMat Canisters to your station.
Ahmed Magomedov - Pilot - Omicron Supply Industries
I brought another batch of 10,000 HazMat Canisters, but your quartermaster refused to accept 525 units of cargo. My ship is still at your station. I hope you will resolve this misunderstanding. One more clarification: your contract specifies a price of 240 per unit, but the station is purchasing at 220. However, you will need to settle this issue with our management.

Konnichiwa honorable Falk-sama
Firstly, let me say its a pleasure doing business with your organization once again.
It saddens me greatly to hear about Dax’s Gas Miner base decommissioning. I went trough something similar long time ago.
That being said, my crew and I have delivered 5.000 units of Uranium.

Grüße, Chief Executive Officer Kelsomagus,
Thank you for OSI’s commitment, your swift delivery response, and the care shown in your words regarding Dr. Lorne and the decision we were forced to make.
Once again, OSI proves why we keep your channel at the top of our contacts list.
Administrative Items – Kept Short and Clean
1) HazMat pricing correction — contract honored
Despite the station-side purchase figure showing 220 SC, M.M.L. will honor the contract term as written: 240 SC per unit.
To close this cleanly for all HazMat already delivered and presently docked, we will issue an additional 20 SC per unit to reconcile each affected delivery to the contracted 240 SC.
Apologies for the confusion. Our finance console recently gained a fresh set of hands—he is learning rapidly that Omicrons do not reward “interpretation.”
2) Remaining 525 HazMat units — acceptance confirmed Resolved. The remaining 525 units will be accepted immediately. Capacity is more than sufficient; the refusal was procedural, not logistical.
Please advise the pilot currently docked that unloading may be completed and departure is cleared once their manifest is signed.
3) Payment routing — per your preference
You noted OSI would most prefer payment routed to the delivering pilots, but left it to my discretion. I am willing to do it either way—direct to pilots or via OSI ops—provided the routing is explicit for our ledgers.
Please reply with either: A) Pilot payment list (pilot name/callsign + account identifier), and we will route accordingly, or B) A single consolidated OSI operations account identifier for settlement, and OSI may distribute internally.
Once unloading is verified, we will process payment immediately on receipt of the routing reference.
I expect our next exchange will be under better circumstances—but I am glad to have OSI on the line either way.
A final note, candid but brief: the decommissioning decision has affected everyone aboard M.M.L. It has made us tired, not careless. These slips will not repeat.
To: Kapitän Heinrich Falk Subject: Re: Payment Routing
Good day Kapitän Falk,
Appreciated—and understood on all points. Please route the full payment to OSI-Bank.Deposits. Our finance department will handle distribution to the individual pilots internally, so there’s no need to split payments on your side.
Thanks for the clarification on the HazMat pricing and for resolving the remaining units so quickly. These things happen under pressure—no harm done.
Glad to have this moving forward cleanly. I look forward to calmer traffic between us next time.
M.M.L. is glad OSI understands the situation, and I appreciate the clean instruction.
Full payment has been transferred to OSI-Bank.Deposits as requested. Your finance department may handle distribution to individual pilots internally; no split payments will be made on our side.
HazMat reconciliation is confirmed as settled, including the contract-aligned adjustment resolving the price difference issue. Thank you for meeting us with reason under pressure—no harm done.
On a more personal note—briefly: I intend to find Dr. Lorne and check on him. If he continues to make himself scarce, I will resort to the oldest and most reliable method available aboard this station: I will leave a fresh cup of his preferred coffee out in the open and wait for the scientist to emerge.
