I am in need of your services as troubleshooters, as I have been led to believe that you engage in routine acts of violence.
The organizations known as Omicron Supply Industries, and their parent group, the Confederation of Freeports, has seen fit to decline taking our money for one of our projects. This is an outrage.
This is where you come in.
We are willing to pay a *ahem* service fee of 4.000.000 Sirius Credits for proof (preferably guncams and chat logs) of your ships seeking out any Zoner (not just OSI) and depriving them of cash and/or property, preferably in this channel.
We are of the understanding that this will in no way exempt THP| ships from your predatory efforts, unless you're feeling particularly generous.
Get back to us with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have.
Regards,

I'm sorry to inform you that our organization will not engage in hostile actions against Omicron Supply Industries. At the same time, we will not engage in any hostile actions against any ship, zoner or what-not, that is actively supporting the Corsair Empire.
However, anyone or anything, zoners included, who's existence is not delivering a direct benefit to the Corsair Empire is fair game and, trust me, there's lots of them flying around.
I just hope your pockets are deep enough.
As for the part where you ask us to be nice to you, it all depends on how nice you will be to us. I'll be blunt about it; we don't like outsiders "working" the traders in our general area, so if you would leave our prey alone we would appreciate it. Unless we get a decent share of the profits you make on our turf, of course. Anyway, for now we'll just list you as neutrals. How is that for being generous?
Greetings. I head up THP's *ahem* private security firm. I'm calling up to inform you that the Whaler's Guild (Tag: WG-) is THP property, and is on the prowl for OSI vessels.
Why do you need to know this?
I don't want CTC vessels to mistakenly fire on the employees of those who they have an understanding with.
What benefits do you get?
Every piratical act carried out by WG vessels in the Omegas, Sigmas, and Omicrons will have 40% of the money/value of goods extorted sent to the Neural Net account of your choosing.
Hoping for a long, fruitful relationship,

I think I have not made myself clear, so were we go again...
You don't have to worry about us mistakenly firing on anyone, no sir! We will deliberately fire on any ship, be it THP, WG- or whatnot, that is endangering an OSI ship.
Don't put words in my mouth, we have no understanding regarding any of this, we just agreed to tolerate you in our space, nothing more, and it seems you wish to abuse this trust. You young guns need to know your place and show some respect for the locals, aye?
Luckily for you, I am a forgiving man and I will blame your lack of diplomatic experience for the nerve of asking us to stand by while you actively hunt one of our most important partners. I will give you another chance and, for now, I will allow you to continue flying in our space and you will not engage in any piracy acts in the the Omegas, Sigmas or Omicrons. Nothing at all, you just lost that privilege. For us a man's honor and word is above any amount of credits. So yeah, thread carefully because the wrath of the Corsair Empire is a terrible thing. Should you come to your senses and acknowledge what i just told you we might consider allowing you to work on our turf for 60% of the spoils. We might!
By the way, I wish to remind you that roughly one third of Gran Canaria's population is made of Corsair Empire Citizens and according to the Laws of the Corsair Empire, Chapter I, Article 1.a), the system you know as Omega 49 is a Corsair Empire Protectorate. As such, any attack on or near Gran Canaria, any installations or any ships orbiting it as well as Lanzarote Station will be considered an act of war against the Corsair Empire. I am sure there is no need to tell you how swift and deadly Battleship Fes strikes, since its status is legendary.
But be warned, should any of those ships engage in any of the actions I described earlier, we will hold you and your organization responsible, regardless of whatever they, or you, will say. Its your mess, you clean it up.
We'll do what we can, though I'm afraid we won't be able to do much but issue a kill-on-sight order to deal with them as quickly as we can find them.
Have you guys found any Zoners to deprive of cash or property yet? We want to get that end of the relationship going as quickly as possible.
Incidentally, do you know where we can find some plasma on short notice? One of our guys has a bit of a blood loss problem about now over a mistake he made.
Cheers,
Wallace Binghamton

For some reason you people love putting words in other people's mouths and its starting to annoy me. I never said we will actively hunt zoners for you. We are not working for you. Should the opportunity arise to engage in actions against a zoner and if we will find it necessary to let you know about our operations, we will do it. Patience is indeed a virtue, you know?
If you want plasma, try a Freeport. Wait... nevermind
