From: Matthew J. Burns To: Reginald Fährmann Subject: Docking Permits
There was indeed an update of security measures onboard the station. It seems your vessel's docking permits were lost in the paperwork. We will rectify this as soon as possible. You have my apologies.

Good evening, Minister Burns.
It has come to our attention that there are some uninvited guests at your door. We have taken the liberty of including a festive party favor in your latest shipment to aid in your continuing efforts towards being gracious hosts.
Given current events, if your needs have shifted - please let us know and we will adjust our efforts to meet your requirements.

Mr. Fährmann.
Well, this is an unexpected but well-timed gesture. A most gracious welcoming gift it certainly will be, once I make the proper arrangements. Our estranged kin will not soon forget this reunion.
Our transport captains have noticed an increase of Corsair vessels along our shipping routes to your installation which have needed addressing - as such, we would like to request the addition of docking permissions for BDM|LV-Hrimfaxi to Connacht. The Hrimfaxi is one of our heavier blockade runners, and is capable of more than doubling our supply capacity to you.
Thank you for your time,
Reginald Fährmann FEDERAL EXPRESS, Extended Logistics Division
From: Matthew J. Burns To: Reginald Fährmann, Federal Express
Mr. Fährmann.
Apologies for the delay. Your help with repelling the Corsairs is appreciated. I will ensure the Hrimfaxi is cleared to dock on Connacht by the time of its next visit to Dublin.
I am also considering a business proposition for your group. It is still being discussed at the moment, so I will forward the details at a later date.
I am told that one of our logistical support vessels recently intercepted a load of gold ore from a Corsair mining operation and have deposited it on Connacht.
My employers have a generally negative disposition towards Corsairs and would like to inquire as to where the ones found in Dublin may be coming from - if you have any information on that matter, we would be quite appreciative.

We happened upon some merchandise for which we had no need but thought you may appreciate. If you wish to accept, it is currently sitting on one of our vessels at Connacht until someone can collect.
My employer would also like to negotiate the acquisition of any high resolution scans of the Bretonian installation in G4 that you may have.
We await your reply.

Mister Fährmann,
I'm afraid Minister Burns has been reassigned to other matters for the time being and I've taken over some of his duties in the interim, so please do forgive my tardiness in playing catch up.
Your company has proven itself as a reliable partner to the movement for nearly two years now Mister Fährmann, why Connacht's dockmaster couldn't simply oblige is beyond me. I can personally authorise the transfer of cargo in due haste, provided it's still there?
It has also not escaped me that our 'first year free' with yourselves expired some time ago, I suppose these goods are an advance payment for our services?
We'd made some preliminary scans, though these were mostly taken during the initial stages of their assault and after they began mine-laying. Since then, we've been unable to get close enough to their staging ground for anything with greater clarity, due to a Quick Reaction Force in the area.
Now, this isn't a no. It's a right tools for the job situation. If only we had a more 'stealthy' means to get closer...
Negotiate away, Mister Fährmann.
