Greetings. From monitoring your channels of late and after discussin with Eris, I have decided to step forward in my studies. I will indeed be interested in KG. However, my missonary duties keep me very busy and confined mostly to the Rhineland space. I have need of your delivery services if possible. Please make the appropriate calaulations for the trip and forward it to my office in New Berlin. I will require 30 units twice a week. Thank you and have a nice day.

RH Pope and missionary,

Mypie

Shamus, could you handle this man's needs? He is a Pope, and I figure the outriders could use the exercise.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

As a pope, I am sorry to insist that I am taken care of by someone of a similar status as I am. Nothing personal against Shamus, but I have to say I am a little irked to see that you would push me off on an underling as I am not a small case. We are after all talking about a few thousand credits a few times a week. This is not something I prefer to deal with an inderling on. If you understand my point. I could of course up my desires to a full hold twice a week. Say 400 to a thousand a week. No less, and I can't handle an underling. As I said, nothing personal. Just a matter of opinion. Does the Chancellor of Rhineland get his Bagels from a baker or THE Baker? ya get my point?

Then I guess I should direct my business to some other place. My appologies.

Jack, whats the name of your new girl, and does she have any characters ?&nbsp; Good job btw, Apparently smuggler suits you.&nbsp; So far, the only folks in b-moths are myself and Jack, if anyone alse has gotten one, tell me about it.&nbsp; Everyone else should have a standard freighter.

Her name is "Libero Corrente" an Italian girl, with a little German engineering. she suits me just fine. The Republicans was none too happy to meet her, and neither were the Rogue Gunnies, but hey, they paid the price of admission, just the same. :cool:

Shamus to Kingpin:

Boss,

By latest count we now have the warehouse capacity to keep all our Outriders supplied, and at a profit for both the outrider and the wholesaler.

I'll poll the big guys for desired warehouse locations, or assign them directly if you prefer.

For now, I've established my new "Office" at Leeds. I'll also be keeping a full supply of product on hand for wholesale distribution. I well be assessing new markets, so I won't be assigning myself a territory for either wholesale or retail sales just yet. Just let the boys know that I'm now set up for both supply and demand requirements.

New "wholesalers":

the "Depot.Zephyr";
the "Shamus(VPsales)";
Jack's "Libero Corrente".

Have I missed any of the other biggies?

Dear Mr. Mypie,

I pains me to feel that you consider a Vice President of our organisation an "underling". Of course, we can't all be "Popes" now, can we? (..or can we?)

At any rate, I can definitely see that you have discriminating tastes. I assure you that LD Inc. can satisfy those tastes.

I hope you will appreciate that it is not to our advantage to establish regular and predictable delivery schedules. That would be begging for trouble and jail time. I will assure you that we will do everything possible to meet your needs as they arise.. we're just a jingle away. All of our associates are qualified and trustworthy. I will also be in the field as required, and hope to be able to meet and serve you personally at some point.

Good fortune with your new 'Popish' duties, sir, whatever they may be.
Kind regards,
Shamus

Boss,

Out of sheer desparation, I have donated 5 Mil to those bloody ELF.

Hopefully we won't be driven crazy for a month or so.

Reimburse out of petty cash?

Message to: Kingpin, Officers, and Associates
Comm ID: Shamus, V.P., Sales

Gents,

Have received a very curious offer to chat about a "contract".

Details a bit slim at the moment, but preliminary cost/benefit analysis is promising:
Increased territory,
Increased market share,
Increased visibility, with a decrease in attendant "risk factors",
Possible Exclusivity agreements,

but,

We'd have to do some killing,
And interdiction,
And blockading.

I recommend we accept the invitation to negotiate further. Boss, I'd be happy to take point, or I can pass you the details in a secure memo. This whole thing sounds strange enough to be just my cuppa.

Associates, certain parties have indicated they will "look the other way", until the offer is more clearly understood and considered by our Board. Don't abuse the priviledge. No shooting unless shot at. The Order of the Day is still to show them your arses if threatened.

Also, it might be prudent to research other markets than Bretonia for the time being. I know demand is high down there, but a smaller margin now may make for bumper quarters in future.

Awaiting your call on who should "rep" the Firm on this deal, Kingpin.

Shamus
