[ooc: The nation I'm abusing, Britmattia, has agreed to my presence there, as presented in this post.]

Britmattia

The complex was rather large, not to say, excessively large. And thusly, rather expensive. Inside of it, alone (His servants being elsewhere, as they were supposed to be in this moments), 'Lord' Wasser was composing the message, smiling.

This could prove to be... amusing.

He pressed a button... And the message was sent.

From: Lord Wasser, Private customer, Britmattia
To: Whom it may concern, Auman
Subject: Acquisition

"Greetings. For the entirety of my life, I have dreamt of owning my own, private spaceship.

Your nation seems to be capable of fulfilling this dream. Being of noble birth, and being blessed with quite a few... monetary resources, I want to make this dream come true.

Your ships, (Specifications see attachements), would need to be refitted, and I would love to do this myself. Now, I wonder if it would be possible to buy not one of the cutting edge ships you have, but one of the older, about to be dismantled ones (though it would be the same class).

Refitting... Well, I could do this myself, thanks to the significant ressources I have at my disposal.

In any case, such versions of your AUF-150 would be excellent, and fit the purpose. Of course, since I would basically only buy the... Well, hull, together with the engines and the most basic of controls, a significant cost reduction would be in order, I guess... And you would still make more money than with just throwing it away.

In any case, eight of them would be perfect for my needs, and I would love to hear from you, soon.

Not to mention that I would probably be able to convince my (The Britmattian) Government that using your excellent services would be exactly what it needs.

Sincerely,

~ Lord Wasser

Another smile. I just hope they accept it... Would be a shame if they didn't.

Cash transferred I'd assume?

The answer had been positive. 'Lord' (Originally 'Ed') Wasser smiled. Apparently, success was forthcoming. The reply had been positive...

And purchasing the half- dozen 'shuttles' from Britmattia had been successful, too. Quite a while ago, his men were already getting used to them. Apparently, it was all going well...

He took a sip from his wine. I could really get into this 'noble' thing... Too bad I will have to leave, soon... He sighed, pondering the unfairness that is life.

Sitting down, he begun composing the reply. Final confirmation, and statistics... They would need to float in space while being 'refitted'. Wouldn't take long, but still...

Frank came in. "Money sent?"

"Yes. With lightspeed lag... will take a bit of time until they know it, but hey..."

"Doesn't matter."

He pressed a button, sending the specifics of delivery.

In three days, they should be at earth, and his men would be there.

A smile. "It will be fun..."

"Yes. Yes it will." Frank chuckled. "Can't wait for it."
