Hey pal.

This is Finlay Rowe of the Pirates Guild. We hang around in Omegas usually but have paid visits to Bering occasionally. Basically, there's no limits to what we can do. And we'll do pretty much anything.

You have a colorful tongue. But words alone don't cut it. The most important part of your message is hurried with a single line at the end.

When the time comes, you gotta give us something tangible for us to come aid your asses. Like, numbers, large enough numbers for it to be worth coming over. Don't forget to attach a $ sign on them.

Herr Rowe:

There's more at stake here than just money. The entire future of the Alster Union stands in the balance. However, I know that men like you aren't about a cause, but about profit. I can appreciate that, and I'm sure we can find a sum that will be worth your while.

Let's meet in person. There may be more I can offer you than just a large number with a lot of zeroes at the end. Name your choice of location, and some options for a time. I have no doubt an acceptable arrangement can be made.

Thank you,
Hunter

Mr. Wolff.

I am not sure if a meeting will work for you, as there are a few problems with the way we run things here. Let's get to the core of the matter; we have no leadership, no organization besides posses made up of a few individuals. But we have strong individuals who know their trade well.

I am not in a position to make deals for everybody. But I know our people, and I have a considerable influence on them. I know their hearts, they know me and call me by my name and trust me to not rat them out to the authorities.

In order to lead these individual interests we are made up of, you need to bait them with profit. I'll make sure they hear it. They'll follow their self interest and help you out. There is no more we can talk about. Don't believe anybody if they talk about the whole of our group on this matter with you.

There possibly can't be more deals in the long run, unless we suddenly decided to become a strict organization. That will not happen in the next few months.

Herr Rowe:

I forget just how...flexible one must be to work with pirates. I'll do my best to adapt in this case.

Here's what I offer, should you and yours decide they want to participate in the battle for the future of the Alster Union:

- 50 million credits for just showing up and regardless of the outcome, to be split among all participants you bring to the table, paid in advance
- 300 million credits more upon successfully achieving the primary goal of the battle, to be split among all participants you bring to the table
- Assuming success, complete and unrestricted assistance from Unioner vessels in all systems where we have a presence for any future "missions" you and yours might have in our territory in the future, as long as the target is not a Union ally or protectorate.

Does this sound like a good starting point? Now do you want to hear some details? I will not share those over the neural net. The exact parameters of the battle can only be shared in person. I will not risk them being intercepted.

I do hope you understand, and we can come to an agreement.

Thank you,
Hunter
