OOC: Minutan Factbook (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=455015) (for background).

------------------------

The Minutan may not be the most attractive race, nor the most friendly, but they do have alot of good traits. They are naturally built fighting machines, they are huge in size and they can hold their own, among other things.

Why are you being told this? They are looking for allies for trade and defence, as well as technology sharing and other help. Still, why are you being told this? They want you, yes you, as a valuable ally.

They can offer you alot in return for what you are willing to give. Why hesitate? Just get in contact with the Minutan, we are even making it easy by providing you a template!

Prime Minister Korak Reeming,

On behalf of his newly crowned highness,
King Roshan I
14th King of Ftang

Prime Minister Korak Reeming,

Your offer of alliance is welcomed with open arms. It is a harsh universe we live in, together we may become stronger. We can offer military protection with no problem. With some convincing now, the Minutan will help you however they can whenever it is needed. Some Minutan have taken to trading goods in ships supplied by myself, as leader. I shall tell them of your wish for trade. I provide a list of goods we wish to trade.

Your offer of an embassy will not be taken up. We do wish that the Minutan be allowed entry into your land without problem though. This should help to create a good economy for us both, and further strengthen our relationships.

Please accept our offer to King Roshan of a meal in his honour in the Palace of the Ancients, located on the main planet in Guerado. Present at the meal will be himself plus family and others if he so wishes, yourself, myself and some of my high ranking Minutan.

I wish your king a good reign, and hope that you are prosperous in whatever you do,

Waki Duris'ha.

--A variety of ores from our mining areas.
--Meat.
--Wood.

Waki Duris'ha,

We thankyou for accepting our offer an wish we can work together for a long time. We shall allow you and your people access into our nation without problem but inform us of your arrival first so we may make preparations for you.

King Roshan would be delighted to join you and your fellow Minutan in the Palace of the Ancients for a feast. Also joining you will be myself, the Kings two brothers, Wershak and Rolanov. Plus our two leading Generals, the Kings mother and 8 guards (for purely security reasons, no offense intended).

We also would like to throw you a feast and to invite you to the marriage of the Prince Rolanov. Your family and any others you wish to accompany may join you if you so wish.

We would like to ask one question though, what items would you want in exchange for iron ore and a large amount of wood?

Prime Minister Korak Reeming,

On behalf of his newly crowned highness,
King Roshan I
14th King of Ftang

Prime Minister Korak Reeming,

We are glad that King Roshan will be joining us. The guards are also welcome, but we ask that you not be "trigger happy", I believe is the phrase. Your weapons are no doubt alot different to our own and will spark interest in the Minutan. We must also ask what your King would like to eat? We could treat him to our food, but I am sure he is not carnivorous like ourselves. Would he like anything to accompany his meal?

I thank you for your invite to your Prince's marriage. I would be glad to come, but to bring my family would be hard. I am sure you would not be able to accompany all of my people, no? I shall be present and so will some of my closest and dearest "family".

What would you be able to offer us in exchange for our products?

My friend,
Waki Duris'ha

My friend Waki Duris'ha,

Our guards are well disciplined and will only act should our King come under danger. Our King has suggested that he would like to try some of your cuisine but would also like some wine along with it. And if possible a side salad, he likes his lettuce! The other guests do not mind what they eat.

We will look forward to seeing you at our Princes marriage. Would you like to have a tour of our nation while you are there? We will give you sufficient protection so that you would travel safely. Would you like to do anything else whil you and your close "family" are there?

In exchange for your products we can offer you our latest robot technology, plus a large amount of any type of fish you want, and some of our arsenal if you so wish.

Yours sincerely,

Prime Minister Korak Reeming,

On behalf of his newly crowned highness,
King Roshan I
14th King of Ftang

Korak Reeming,

What has been requested for the meal is no problem, and is planned and ready to go. We planned a tour of our main city where the King will be staying, and if he so wishes we could take him further afield as well.

As I said before, the Minutan are carnivores, we will only eat meat. So if you could, we wish only to be supplied with meat. We also react poorly to intoxicants such as alcohol, so plain meat would be excellent. It sounds a very boring palette I know, but we like trying different meats. A tour of your nation would be great! Personally, I enjoy observing other cultures. I find it fascinating how others live.

Protection is not needed, but we would accept it anyway. A Minutan can handle himself, with their stature and build, and being naturally built fighters with a conflict filled society helps. However, we are not invincible by any means!

In regards to trade, I am interested in robot technology. What is this? It is a new concept to myself.

Waki Duris'ha

Waki Duris'ha,

The King has shared with me the facts that he would indeed be interested in a tour of the city, plus a chance to meet your highest leaders away from the feast to get to know them if possible.

We will supply the alcohol at the feast on your planet if you wish. At the feast we are throwing for you however, we will be supplying only plain meats for you and the people who accompany you. Our people would like to eat other foods at that feast if you don't mind. During the tour we will be visiting all the major areas (Army, Air force, Navy bases. Our Kings Palaces etc.) plus visit some of the villages if you wish.

I wish to ask how many would be joining you on your tour, so that we can make preparations and supply enough transport.

Our Robot technology is some of the best around, it allows us to make machine warriors that our almost invincible to anything (except explosives of course.) and have an air force that controls itself (we give the commands, they carry them out, without pilots being needed.). We can supply you with a few prototypes if you wish.

We shall trade that and plain meats to you in exchange for the requested items if that is okay?

Your friend Korak Reeming,

On behalf of his newly crowned highness,
King Roshan I
14th King of Ftang

Korak Reeming,

These trade agreements sound good. We are gathering some samples of our ore for you to look at, and wood is being gathered for you.

You have no need to supply alcohol to our feast. It would be our honour to supply what you would like. We are having a wide selection of finewines being imported for the occassion. The high Minutan are looking forward to meeting his highness. I am sure they would relish the chance to meet him personally.

I will bring with me nine others, making ten Minutan. I would also remind you (for purposes of arranging transport) the size of a Minutan. The average is 8 foot tall and well built. Please eat what you wish, we will not restrict you in any way. I look forward to having a tour of your nation.

Your ally and friend,

Waki Duris'ha.
