Greetings, mon Seigneur,

I am Principal Alfredo Orsini, and I am here to talk to you about our latest project.

The Provence system, our home, we are concerned about its success, well-being, and economical development: my pair, M. Alard, contacted you about another project with you. Therefore, I imagine you understand our concerns and our motivation to make our home a better place.

While M. Alard talks about Planet Marseille, I will talk to you about the whole system, and its potential economical development.

The distinct lack of trade lanes in the Provence system really mirrors the situation of the system. All core Gallic systems have the luxury – rather, the essential right, of being capable of using a trade lane.

The Unione Corse is therefore, proposing you and the Seigneurie, to work on a joint project to plan, fund and eventually build much-needed trade lanes. This may seem odd to see us interested in the well-being of the Provence system, but do not worry, we do have a fair share of interests in a trade lane network.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Cordialement.

Principal Alfredo Orsini

I am confused, Monsieur Orsini. Who says "Cordially" at the end of a call ? Did you speak that from your heart, or did you read me a prepared letter ? Ah, cordial, cordial, you indeed are very cordial ! All of you Corse, you are cordial when you want something, otherwise you are very uncordial with a knife. Your friend Alard has just contacted me, also very cordially. Do you know what he wanted ? A share of power on Marseilles !

You said you had your "fair share of interests" in the project, but as is your tradition, you didn't reveal them. Tell me what this is to you and I will consider your it. Au revoir.

Rebonjour, mon Seigneur,

If you know oh-so-well our methods, I'd suggest you review your tone.
I'd also suggest you to know your boundaries.

Our interests are simple, really. I am, almost, certain... that you can find what they are. What would push us to help the populace ? Ah, the million-dollar question -- talking about millions, I had the pleasure to talk with the Cannes Resort Station manager, and it seems that an all-inclusive VIP subscription for a month is now available. Long are the queue to get one of these.

As for Planet Marseille... I'd suggest you listen clearly to what my pair has to say to you. You know politics, especially for our system, isn't held by a singular person.

Au revoir.

Principal Alfredo Orsini

Tourism ? I expected something less mundane. No, there is something beneath, but I don't have to and don't want to know. As long as I can explain to my superiors on New Paris that it is only tourism, brothels, nox dens and so on, they won't have an issue with it. Half of them spend their leisure in the same nox dens anyways.

I agree, you have my official seal of approval, but under a few easy conditions. First and foremost, the lanes must connect Marseilles with the jumpgate. Then, my treasury will finance half of the project, but only if your people stop stealing from it for the time, otherwise we'll have more basic economic concerns than some trade lanes far above in space. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can resume avoiding taxation, oui ?

My final condition is that I get a permanent and free reservation on Cannes. Non, non, make that two reservations, I wouldn't be a true Gaul if I came alone...
