->Predicted Route: Unknown, Ainu, Tsushima, Nago, Shasta

->Destination: Malacalypse-666, Bafflin' system

Zoner, We need to speak.

I will be brief. Myself and our benefactors seek to speak with the individual known as 'Malacalypse-666', regarding potential... relations between our two organisations. I cannot state specifics at this time due to the potential monitoring of these channels by... non-beneficial entities.

Indeed, the Zoner economic powerhouse is far more beneficial to us then any military force at this point, and your organisation has attributes highly desirable to us. Unfortunately, we cannot state who exactly we are over these unsecure channels, so all I can ask is that you state your interest to us.

We have an -ambassador- in the Bafflin' system waiting. More indepth communication will have to take place directly. It will reveal itself should you show interests. I hope to speak openly to you in due time.

-Signed; Your Benefactors

Dear Messrs. Benefactor,

Your request has been placed in queue, estimated time until an operator can assist you is...

35 hours 10 minutes...

Oh, turn that bloody thing off!

Alright, then Bennie.. sounds interesting, but..

..why do i feel like a menu entree you're looking at with interest at Xao's Chinese Palace?

I see all these ways that you can use the Zoners to advantage, and a bit of chops-licking in the background..

Reminds me of that old tale from the annals: "To Serve Man". Check it out, you'll love it!

And since I make it a policy not to put out on the first date, tease me a little here, eh?

Woo me. Send flowers. And chocolates! Dark!

Then I'll consider meeting you in person.

Regardies,
Mal

Now, hopefully this 'box of chocolates' is enough to convince you I am serious about discussing indepth the various economic and social matters that our two groups face, hmm?

I await your reply. My official secure communications package will activate with your approval.
