Guten tag Reapers!
My name is Karl, and I work with the LWB. While adventuring and delivering some surplus tobacco to try to trade for needed supplies, a Zoner happened to mention your name. As I was afraid of the Corsairs that live in the Omegas, I made a detour to your system. I am most impressed. I never thought there'd be reapers of any kind around. I mean, space farmers in the distant Omegas? I was very excited.
I happened to have some surplus food with me that I thought perhaps I could trade you. We don't get to meet many other farmers around so I thought maybe you might have different foods and we could swap. I am a chef, you see, and I like to explore new options, ja? As I approached a nearby station that had given me the okay to land, my assistant Ludwig notified me that some fighters were approaching. He said your ships have Scythe class weapons - that is a very good name. I wanted our technicians to call ours that, but they thought "Destroyers" sounded tougher. I am just a chef, what do I know, ja?
But it seems like there wasn't any extra food around to barter with. What kind of reaping are you doing if you don't even have anywhere to grow food? It is very odd to find space farmers without any crops. Or is it just not your growing season?
In any case, I have attached my shipping manifest to show the types of food I have available. I would very much like to talk to you about such things, ja?

Hello my friend.
I am pleased that you enjoy our humble abode.
Indeed it is true our system is lacking food stuffs on a rather large scale. Some 'unfortunate' event happened to befall our glorious little planet and alas a little drought happened to spread across our region.
So we would be very interested in aquiring some more of this surplus food that you speak of. If ofcourse you are interested. We shall pay well in materials or currency, Si?
I shall let you think about that my friend maybe we can come to some sort of arrangement.
Oh, something happened? That is unfortunate. I hope it wasn't a series of tractor breakdown of apocalyptic proportions! I have heard talk that such things could happen and it would be very bad.
But, ja, we would be happy to supply our fellow farmers with our surplus food. I imagine you would appreciate it more than random space pirates. Well, other than the Hessians, they appreciate such things. Do you know the Hessians? They are good at building ships. Maybe they could build you new tractors?
Where would be the best to ship such food? I can also bring my Restaurant to your system und sell you delicious cuisine! I will make sure to charge you less because of your tractor issues.

Good day Kuerbis. I am assigned to help you with this matter.
Safe Haven is our primary port, window on the rest of the world some would say. It is sizeable enough to accomodate your restaurant and as all of our guest are directed towards this station your clients will not only be limited to Reapers themselves. Our planet won't be capable of producing food anytime soon but you already seen big picture. If you have any further inquiry, ask.
Oh, hallo. I am glad that we can make an agreement. We started sending some delicious food shipments to your station. I hope you can fix your tractors soon, ja?
We have established a database which will show various food deliveries that we make to your station Safe Haven.
We can try to send you some extra tractor parts if we find them, too.
