Greetings to Arranmore base, and the Molly's!
I come to you today asking for a trading deal. This message is highly encrypted as we do not wish for prying eyes into this deal. Due to lack of legal supplies and a necessity for them, we wish to trade with you for Nuclear devices.
We have recently come across some tough to move asteroids, and need such devices to shift them. Of course, this would possibly look bad in the current warlike climate, so we wish to keep this as quiet as possible.
Please respond on this channel using Alpha encryption patterns if you are interested in this, and what we can provide in return.

Eh?
Ye want to use our Nuclear Devices? As explosive weapons, too, ye say?
That's a corruption of their use, ye know. We only ever make them for peace and power production. They are only benign mechanisms designed to generate power. They aren't weapons, ye know. Nah, absolutely not.
The very thought of ye using them fer what they weren't intended is...
Tantalizing.
Can ye ship us some wine or somethin' fer these Nukes or what?

Well then, Important person Kilkenny Kraken, I think we could supply wine for these devices. How many do you think you could supply in a week? We need quite a few.
Ermm.. did you want us to deliver them? cuase if so, ma crew's gonna want alot more money then normal. the taus are one'a the worse battlefields out there at the moment. and lot's a people wouldent veiw the mollys kindly fer bringing you nuclear davices.... but if you make it worth the rock 'aulers crew's while, then we'll start bringing in loads of em.
a'course, their waiting ta hear how much yer paying per load bafore their willing to venture inta the taus, and i aint going without em.
and i think more then a little wine is in order if you want us to deliver some.
raspectfully, noal.

You all'd be surprised how strong some good Gallian wine can be.
Trust me, it's good shtuff. A nice change from beer an' grog an' such. Plus, we already have another group importin' more generic alcohol from the north, too. We got plenty o' simple stuff, lads.
Anyway. Lemme think about this fer a second.
Wine... Nukes. I suppose I could come up with a simple formula fer yeh, to figure out how much ye'd owe us.
I suppose ye could export along these lines.
Shipments per week, based on exports.
N is nukes, and W is wine, remember.
W = 1/10 N
There we go, simple, eh?
I was going to fool around with some o' that exponential stuff (W = W<span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%]0 x a^t) but I figgured it would be a bit easy to bamboozle ye. Although it's a shame not to be puttin' me Cambridge smarts to use.
So, in essence - ye ship out a 5k transport o' nukes, ye ship us back 2500 units o' wine.
Nukes take up a bit more volume than most cargo, so N =5W. An' then, because we're nice, we let ye off half more, so that's 1/10th.

That's even better.
Arranmore's the place to take the booze, marm.
We'll need some paperwork detalin' ye sellin' it to us, o' course, and then ye can takes the Devices and use 'em fer whatever ye want.
You get irradiated, we get inebriated, everyone's happy.
