To the Red Hessian Army

[Dieter Schprokets]

Sirs

One of our men, Simon Templar, seems keen to kill Corsairs and the Rheinland Military with, and for, you.

For that purpose, he has requested the use of an Odin, and Natterturns to equip it. I understand he has already informally discussed that with you.

Please consider this my formal request on his behalf. What would you need to make that work for your organisation?

Regards,

Mandalore Bishop

Greetings.

While we are generally content to supply your organisation with our military surplus for a simple price of credits, as it happens we are in need of your services. The payment from our side will be of course in the form of the ship that has been requested.

Kruger Minerals has been expanding its operations in the Omega systems at an obscene rate, no doubt benefiting from our recent focus on the DHC slavers and criminals who also infest the region. We're not able to cover both of them fast enough, so we could use someone to put a dent in their expansion from a different direction.

Have your agents bring me proof of 20 Kruger ships of any kind destroyed, subcontractors included. This should be an easy job as Kruger escorts are in general awfully trained, and their ships badly equipped. Once the proof is delivered, the requested ship can be collected from Northeim Base in Omega-54 with the paperwork signed off by me personally.

Herr van der Riess

Excellant

We will begin work on that shortly.

We should consider discussions for a more wide-ranging contract, perhaps?

A possibility of a formal contract is being currently discussed by the Oberkommando. I will contact you when we have a concrete offer to put on the table.

Greetings once more.

The Oberkommando has decided to make you an offer of an exclusive contract on Kruger ships anywhere that you can find them. This contract would operate on a pay-per-kill basis to ensure your active support, and would entail a sum of 3 million credits per any Kruger vessel destroyed, including: escorts, miners and transports of any class. This sum would be extended by 1 million credits for every 2000 units of ore or cargo that the Kruger vessel in question is carrying. The starting pool of cash that we would be willing to commit to this would be 200 million credits with possibility of further extension should the results of this contract be adequate. And of course the first 20 ships claimed will go towards the payment for the Odin that you have requested.

Should you accept this offer, a dedicated channel will be created for claiming purposes. I will await your answer on this frequency.

Karl van der Riess

Herr van der Riess

I have a counter proposal, one which should be to your liking, and which fits with our contract methodology.

Should you pay us up front, 100 Millon Credits, we would use that money to pay those of our pilots for the Kruger, um, dissassembling, on the precise terms you listed. Our payments to our pilots would become internal accounting; you would not see an invoice.

We would ask for the use of four (4) of your Odin fighters, complete with your best weaponry. This is estimated to have a value of $100 Million Credits, so that would imply a $200 Million value to the package.

Furthermore, we would offer combat assistance to the Hessian cause while based in your area. This is a standard contract clause. We try to protect our clients' interests, in a general way.

Trusting the above is satisfactory, I remain

Yours Truly,

Mandalore Bishop

Greetings.

Your counter proposition was discussed by the Oberkommando and they have reached a decision. Before we begin supplying you with ships from our production line, we'd like to make sure that you are still as... effective as your past reputation suggests. To that end we can pay you 100 million for a first contract. Once that contract is completed, we can begin negotiations on the sale of our surplus ships to your people. This is to ensure that our ships will be used to their full capabilities.

I hope this is acceptable.

Herr van der Riess

This is satisfactory, I remain

Yours Truly,

Mandalore Bishop


PS : Please remit payment of the 100 Million credits to MM~Armoury

Greetings.

The funds have been transferred successfully, and the contract is therefore now open. I will await results eagerly.

Herr van der Riess

I would direct your attention to our internal intranet, to which we have provided the access codes:

http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...1879&st=330

Without making much ado of it, we have already put down six (6) Krugar ships, most of that accomplished by our young Alor'ad, Simon Templar.

He seems most keen to have an Odin. I would ask you consider his request for one now, and leave our request for additional ships aside until later.


Yours Truly,

Mandalore Bishop
