Estimada Señora Xi,

Though we have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, allow me to introduce myself.
I am Comandante Aurelio de Cruz of the Corsair Imperio, currently flying under the banner of Deterrence.
At present, I find myself docked at Tripoli Shipyard due to urgent repairs - an inconvenience, yes, but also an opportunity.
It is this circumstance that prompts my message to you.
The Imperio wishes to propose a mutually beneficial business arrangement. As you are aware, the security of the Omicron Theta system is of great importance to us,
and we have taken considerable measures to ensure its stability. However, the aftermath of conflict leaves behind a wealth of salvage -
wreckage that the Imperio intends to reclaim and repurpose.
To streamline our operations, we are seeking interim storage space to coordinate logistics prior to transporting the materials back to Omicron Gamma.
This is where your esteemed organization could play a vital role.

We propose the following:
You provide storage capacity for approximately 50,000 units of cargo, primarily Military Salvage.
The Imperio will store the commodities at $40 per unit, and re-purchase them at $50 per unit, offering your organization a $10 profit per unit to compensate for storage
and administrative efforts.
Should this opportunity be of interest to you, I invite you to contact either myself or the Imperio at your convenience.
We are confident that this arrangement could mark the beginning of a productive partnership.

Con respeto,

Comandante
Aurelio de Cruz

Sinceramente Senior Aurelio de Cruz,

A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

While MFE is ready to help out it is important to understand that 50.000 units of storage come at a certain cost. MFE appreciates the economical benefits which the Emperio provides in this endeavor yet it is less than the current economical value that the MFE Academy currently gains on exporting Food and Oxygen from their hydroponics facility.

Should the Emperio be ready to allow MFE to set a re-purchase cost at 75 per unit while the drop-off cost is set at 30 per unit this would balance things out more fairly.

I am also very much interested in the duration on this agreement. As in how long the goods will be stored. This has all to do with the planning of our hydroponics facility as well as export agreements already agreed to. In other words, this plan has to align with our future import and export goals.

So please know we are ready to help provided we come to a clear agreement on the duration, costs and that the financial component offered outweighs the current benefits the academy may have on their current exports.

Looking forward to hear from you,

Jill Xi, PharmD,
Director, Med Force General Academy, Omicron Theta

Estimada Señora Xi,

It is a pleasure to receive your reply, and I thank you for the clarity and professionalism of your response.
Your concerns regarding the economic value of storage space at your esteemed facility are not only valid, but speak to the diligence with which MFE conducts its operations. The Imperio respects such discipline - it is the foundation of lasting strength.
Having considered your position, I wish to propose a revised arrangement that reflects both practicality and mutual respect.

Revised Proposal:
- Drop-off price: $35 per unit
- Re-purchase price: $65 per unit

This arrangement offers your organization a $30 profit per unit, providing a significant improvement over the original terms while remaining sustainable for the Imperio.
With regard to your concerns about storage duration - we fully understand and respect MFE’s need for clear timelines and operational foresight.
Rather than a short-term solution, Deterrence seeks to establish a more stable and reliable distribution point within Omicron Theta - one that allows both our organizations to plan and operate with confidence.
To support this goal while minimizing any disruption to your ongoing export operations, we propose to begin with a reduced initial volume of 30,000 to 40,000 units, allowing room to assess feasibility and scale responsibly.

Such a framework allows both parties to operate with foresight and flexibility - qualities that build lasting cooperation.
Should these terms be acceptable, I will arrange for our quartermaster to establish direct communication with your logistics personnel.

Con respeto y determinación,

Comandante
Aurelio de Cruz

Sinceramente Senior Aurelio de Cruz,

My apologies for the delay in responding. In all earnest I must admit that I am not only the director of the MFE Academy but, and this is my most important profession, also a mother of a 2-year old daughter.

Following your most recent correspondence and the generous adjustment of terms, I am pleased to confirm that The Academy accepts the buy and re-purchase prices as proposed: $35 per unit for deposit and $65 per unit for collection.

In the spirit of clarity, cooperation, and mutual respect, I wish to set forth the framework for our arrangement so that both parties may operate with confidence and foresight. You see, trust and honor are something we both agree on yet, especially when commercial matters come into play, a formal agreement is something we should honor as well. For this reason I had my legal counsel draw up a contract which I named 'Vitala Secure'. Please go over this (see below) and let me know what your thoughts are.

As the director of the MFE Academy I very much value your trust in us and in me as director. This agreement can be a valuable one standing on the strong agreement of the Theta Accord. One agreement where not only two parties can benefit from, but a pavement towards a peaceful Theta system.

Looking forward to hear from you,

Kind regards,

Jill Xi, PharmD,
Director, Med Force General Academy, Omicron Theta
Med Force Enterprises

Estimada Señora Xi,

No apology is needed. As a father of two daughters - ages six and three - I understand well the balance between responsabilidad and devotion. It is that very devotion which defines true strength, not only in leadership but in legacy.
Contrary to the fabricated tales circulated about the Corsairs - grotesque myths born of fear and ignorance - we do not merely honor our families… we live for them. The Imperio stands because our children stand behind us, and every act of trade, battle, or diplomacy is for their future.

Now... Back to business.
The Vitala Secure Agreement has been reviewed with care and counsel by the Imperio’s diplomatic board and strategic quartermasters. I am pleased to inform you that its terms are both understood and accepted.
Your foresight in crafting a contract that respects neutrality, sovereignty, and operational clarity is commendable. It reflects the kind of wisdom that sustains not just institutions - but legacies.

Let it be known: the Corsairs do not enter agreements lightly. We value honor, loyalty, and continuity above fleeting profit. By placing our trust in the MFE Academy, we not only secure our strategic needs within Theta, but we affirm our belief that peace does not weaken empires - it sustains them.

The initial transfer of Military Salvage is scheduled to arrive within the coming days. I will personally accompany the shipment to ensure its proper handling and to honor this agreement not only with words, but with presence.
Let this collaboration echo the traditions of our ancestors - sealed not merely by ink and parchment, but by shared respect and tangible commitment. Those who remember the old ways know: trust is not declared, it is demonstrated.

Con respeto y determinación,

Comandante
Aurelio de Cruz

Sinceramente Senior Aurelio de Cruz,

Thank you for accepting the agreement. Your trust in the Academy, me as it's administrator and MFE as a whole is what we take seriously.
The academy load-masters have been briefed and instructed and the loading bays are ready for arriving shipments. Current storage has been set to the maximum of 50.000 units and this is currently available. The hydroponics project has been scaled down to ensure the maximum storage capability as requested per agreement while not affecting the production of food and oxygen.

Kind regards,

Jill Xi, PharmD,

Sinceramente Senior Aurelio de Cruz,

We are twelve days from reaching the milestone of the first month celebration of the contract. While this trust between us makes me happy, I have been informed by the loading bay crew that deliveries of Military Salvage have thus far, been less than we expected. Now I could be mistaken yet, as there's ample time remaining to ensure the minimal throughput as per contractual agreement is met, I would like to inquire if the current contract we both signed may need a revision.

With the recent economical changes I believe it is only fair that I put this freshly signed contract under consideration as I believe both The Imperio and MFE do not like things to fail.

I look forward to your response,

Kind regards,

Jill Xi, PharmD,

Estimada Señora Xi,

I agree… it is indeed remarkable how swiftly time passes. Twelve days already, and yet, with all due respect, I believe your loading bay crew may not be correctly informed. The men and women of DTR have already transported close to 15,000 units of Military Salvage from your station to Gamma.

In these past days, however, Omicron Gamma has not known peace. Our fleets were tested by repeated incursions - Outcasts, Core, Hessians - all seeking to strike at the very heart of the Imperio. Each time they came with force, and each time they were cast down in defeat. Necios indeed, to challenge Crete’s sons and daughters. Victory was ours, but it demanded the full strength and attention of our warriors.

Yet, Señora Xi, understand this clearly: I do not send you excuses. The Imperio does not hide behind words. Instead, we act. Even as Gamma burned with enemy fire, we secured stability elsewhere. In Omicron Theta, our forces carried out successful operations, ensuring safety not only for the Imperio, but also for MFE and all who pass through that system.

The evidence attached will show the truth of my words: 39,000 additional units of Military Salvage delivered directly to your station, and 30,000 units returned under guard by a Barge to Gamma. These are not promises, but deeds - hechos.

As you can see, Señora Xi, the Imperio and the warriors of DTR treat this contract with the utmost honor y seriedad. No matter the raids, no matter the storms, Crete keeps its word.

Con respeto y determinación,

Sinceramente Senior Aurelio de Cruz,

As it turns out I owe you an apology. An error was made by one of the new load masters at the Academy. To create extra storage space they hastily converted one of the garages into a storage bay. While it was used to store large amounts of goods delivered by DTR, it did not show up on the inventory list as someone forgot to add that new space to the main cargo check system.

I have been assured that this was a startup error on our side and measures have been taken to prevent this miscalculation from happening again.

Estimada Señora Xi,

May this message reach you in calm skies and steady command.

I write to provide a formal report on the latest logistical cycle carried out under the Vitala Secure Agreement between Deterrence and the MFE Academy. Over the past days, our transport wings have successfully delivered 82,000 units of Military Salvage to your facility in Omicron Theta - a volume that not only fulfills, but significantly exceeds the originally agreed monthly threshold of 30,000 units.

This was not a gesture of excess, but of intent. The Imperio does not operate at the edge of obligation, but at the heart of commitment. Our decision to scale this delivery reflects both our operational capacity and our trust in the partnership forged between our organizations.

Upon arrival, all cargo was verified, sealed, and transferred under escort, with full adherence to the protocols outlined in our agreement. Following successful offload and confirmation, the entire shipment was subsequently retrieved and transported under guard to Omicron Gamma, where it now serves the strategic needs of the Imperio.

This twofold operation - inbound and outbound - was executed with precision, discretion, and respect for your station’s logistical flow. No disruption occurred, and all personnel involved have reported smooth coordination with your teams.

Let this cycle stand as a testament to what cooperation can achieve when built on clarity, discipline, and mutual respect. The Corsairs do not measure success in words spoken, but in actions completed. And in this, we remain unwavering.

Should your logistics division require further documentation, or wish to discuss future scaling, redistribution, or operational cadence, our quartermaster remains at your disposal.

Con respeto y determinación,
