As I promised before, we are looking for a long time cooperation with the [KM]. I have to say, that our first business was a good start to trust each other well and build up something, what could be profitable for both sides.
You could be informed about the problems when we tried to pass Bretonia with Mr. Voss who was my escorter after the mining operations have been finished. Since there were some misunderstandings, we are currently asking for the needed license from the BPA.
As far as I know, those guys are so polite and thrustable ones so I'm well sure, we could handle this solved. About the contract what I have in my mind:
The ship can haul 4950 items at the moment, so I would like to ask for systematic service from the [KM] company. It must contains mining and escort services for sure, since our ship is defenseless. We, the crew belives in peace but we know, that there are others who believes in pain and force.
Mr. Voss did his job well and I'm well sure that your company could fulfill the criterias what I've been asked for.
I would like to know your plans, and the possibilities behind my plans. Could you offer me both services and if yes, for what price? If there is anything what I've forgot, please point on it.
Plans for Kruger are delicate at best. There are still previous elements of the now broken Kruger Mineralien who seek to either start another 80 year war or go toe to toe with our IMG and Daumann neighbors. I hope you can understand why the plans I have will not be made known until I am sure they can be implemented with limited collateral damage to an already distraught Kruger.
Your message of peace is an old one, hopefully genuine. Your ship certainly is an olive branch among the briers so for now, I'll take you at face value. I'm not attempting to be crass; I'm just a spade for a spade kina guy.
As far as a contract, it normally entales a final amount relative to the services provided. For example, your ship can contain 4950 units of cargo, for 30 trips that's 148500 units of Silver Ore. For 20 trips you're looking at 99,000 units of Ore and for 10 trips you have yourself 49500 units. Many independent miners out there say our prices are a bit low yet I'm also a quality over quantity kina guy too. Basic rates are 2mill Sirius credits for every 1000 units of ore. Pretty straight forward. Here are the tentative options I'll lay before you.
A.30 trips 148500 --- 297,000,000 SC
B 20 trips 99,000 --- 198,000,000 SC
C. 10 trips 49500 --- 99 million SC
Just to give you an idea of a contractual cost involved for the mining operations alone. This does not include escort services. Again there is the pay-as-you-go option where there is just the stated ore charge you can work out on a case by case basis.
By the way, is it just you and your ship?
If you choose one of the contracts or agree to another one, you can pay in one lump sum or three payments as the contract progresses. Once each mining transaction is complete, that will add to the total of the overall contract.
A transaction is defined as: The initial start of a mining operation for one ship until it is full to capacity.
Kruger Mineralien cannot be held responsible if your ship is destroyed or cargo stolen on route and will not count against the overall contract or negate it.
Our escort services will scout and defend, but if the situation seems dire, we recommend you land until a system becomes clear of hostiles.
This is just a few things that we can offer, and hopefully we can finalize this when it is most convenient.
Thank you for helping Kruger along on this process.

Well, first of all, let me to thank you for your fast and polite reply, while asking for your pardon about the delay. You know, its hard to survive novadays when you would like to do your best...alone. I'm well sure, you already know the feeling, when everybody tries to pull your leg. As Mr. Voss could report, we had the same situation with the GRN in the Taus.
But, back to the business. As you realised, we are planning to sign a long time contract with your company, and your offer is correct like before. Since I dont want to waste your time with chit-chat, because I know that you are a so busy businesman, let me to make it short.
Your offers are acceptable and we, the crew of the Horny Cacodaemon, would like to sign the following contract with the [KM]:
Quote:A.30 trips 148500 --- 297,000,000 SC B 20 trips 99,000 --- 198,000,000 SC
C. 10 trips 49500 --- 99 million SC
We understand that these prices doesnt contains your escort services, so if possible, please send us further informations about that. We are looking for scouts mainly, since our faith is the peace. We dont want to harm anybody while fulfill our mission. Also we are well sure, the the Bretonia Armed Forces and their Police could keep the peace across the trade lanes in Bretonia.
The problem is the Tau system, what is a GRN owned space at the moment, so we have to sneak somehow there. A scout could be the best choice, since their power is more than unconquerable for escort companies.
I hope this message will find you in your best health and we could start the mining,trade operations as soon as possible.
I just returned to the mining station and got your message Wichita. Alright
Contract B that includes 20 trips 99,000 ore for a 198,000,000 SC over all payment.
We'll use this communtiation channel as a refference providing time and gun camers to each transaction. I and Voss and who ever we can pull together will get out there and mine some ore for you.
I can presume the increase activities in Leeds to tau 31 can be hectic and even a fully armed transport can run into the occational battleship. The GRN don't hold back. Your choke points are Cambridge and New London, where the pirate activities are highest. We'll do what we can to additionally help you get through. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We'll see you out there. I'll be read to launch in roughly 2 hours from now. Voss may already be out there. Thank you again for allowing Kruger to help you out with this one.
May the ancestors be remembered in your actions Wichita.

Apologies for the delay my friend, but we had to solve the background problems before starting to fulfill our agreement, since we would like to avoid any kind of further problems. I hereby represent you our new and fresh Tau Trading License so all problems are averted to start the business.
Please send me your bank account, to let us to pay the fee for your services. I'm well sure that you and Mr.Voss are realiable enough to send the whole payment in one transaction before the mining process will be started.
We are heading to the Omegas now, since we have finished our negotiations with the Bretonian Police Authority in New London.

Absolutely. The ship's ID is the [KM]-Mobile.Office . It's an actual mid grade transport hat has been used for the last 20 years as a secure location for credit information and transactions. Something about a moving point in space by which no one triangulation can pin it down. It's a rather simple but effective system. Transfer the funds there and we can get to work toot sweet. Since your ship doesn't have a lot of mooring option in Rheinland space, we'll make every transaction as quick as possible. Scouting ahead seems also better than straight up defense when you move all that ore.
Until then Wichita.

Let me to ask for your pardon about the delay Sir. As you requested we have sent the money to your main office. Let me to show you the visual documents about the transaction:
I hope after fulfilling your expectations, we could start our business as soon as possible. To make it fast and well planned, I would like to share my personal S.K.Y.P.E code with you. I hope it will help you and your men to reach us.
Guten Tag herr Spire.
I was just wanting to report zat I have completed a mining operation under zis contract.
All went well during zis operation.
At ze beginning of it zere was a Renegade contact on ze scanners, but he left ze area and wasn't seen again.
I heard from another Krugeren Miner "Greymon" zat he was pirated, by him shortly before our arrival.
After my crew was finished with zere mining duties, I docked my asteroid miner on Elbich and released my crew.
Zen I took off in my personal mining craft to scout ahead of herr Wichita on his trip to Planet Harris.
Zat trip was really uneventful, we picked up an additional Freelancer escort at Friedstadt by the call sign of Summerbreeze.
I was having some technical difficulties on my craft.
Scanners were double tracking Summerbreeze, as it was showing two contacts for her.
My targeting and guidance systems were not forming onto any other convoy ships.
At ze end of ze trip, my cruise thrusters had a serious delay disengaging in front of ze planet..
I landed and let some tech's run over it and repaired several of ze computer systems and wiring condensers.
It's been in space too long without any routine maintenance, due to my own negligence.
I under estimate ze extremes of mining in ze Omega's, zen take it out on a long run like zis. *laughs*
In short, ze mining operation went smoothly and ze escort to Planet Harris went smoothly.
Job well done.
That mining platform is still a beast to handle. I think I'll take the Scrapper out next time.
As good as her word, Wichita was there spot on. The mining transaction went rather smoothly. I was rather stunned that Silver Reaver didn't blast us into space but she said she wasn't after us. Don't care, don't know don't want to know.
I hopped into the old fighter and Escorted her safely to our destination. Just a few GRN to distract, nothing too hard to handle.
Good job by the way Voss. That brings us to two trips and 9900 total recorded ore mined. I think we had another one. I'll check in on that.
Good night.
