[ Holonet ] The incorporation of information zones
Dear senators
We, the crystalkin, are interested in the incorporation of our
zones. If three interested parties can be found, we propose a payment of 4000
, 1500
, 1000
/
/
/
or 750
for each faction, spread over 10
after we have successfully incorporated our zones. If only two interested parties are found, we will construct a
-corporation ourselves. In this case we can also offer the ability to incorporate your zones as a return payment. We are, of course also open to discussing alternative return favors.

"Dear Senator Zoreone Abaroa of the Corporation for intergalactic exploration of Xi,
In the past, Niom has made a deal with the Sundarian Federation and the Lifebringer Clans, who are now a fringe world, regarding information corporations. Niom is open to negotiate about a deal regarding this, but since we already have a corporation, we would not need to construct one.
However, once you have established your own corporation, Niom would be interested in trading our KnowDisc Corporation
with you.

Dear Senator Zoreone Abaroa,
We are willing to expand the production of our own coorporation, to supplement our future needs in
Information. We are open to multiple variaties of options, though we have a maximum of 3 zones avialable for coorporation at the moment.
Depending on your exact wishes we would need to make arrangement for any additional needed zones and in order to limit tradecapacity needs, we would prefer an exchange of zonerights.

Senator Lady de Montrève
Since both of you have expressed a clear desire to exchange the rights of zone specialization, and we find it highly unlikely that as many as five interested parties appear. We will begin the construcion of an
-corporation immediately. We will contact you about the details of this agreement as soon as a reasonable estimate on the completion of this corporation can be made.
-corporation immediately. We will contact you about the details of this agreement as soon as a reasonable estimate on the completion of this corporation can be made."The Socialist Republic of Niom must apologize. It is not looking to exchange rights of zone specialization. We already have specialised zones and are willing to trade the specialised information we produce there for other specialized information. We are not looking to exchange zones. We again apologize for our unclear communication in this manner."
This is indeed a very unfortunate misunderstanding. Even more so because the sheer amount of extra investments required makes a trade of specialized
not an option for us. We would therefore like to negotiate an alternative way to acquire the rights to incorporate our zones for the production of KnowDisc.
To the Lady de Montrève we would like to point out that, since ours is the fourth
-corporation. You should already have the flexibility to incorporate your 3 zones with your corporation and our 2 zone-rights without needing to make extra trades or deals to get actual useful
out of it.

((OOC: Because Mercury does not have time to clarify this I will do it for him.
NPC's do not trade zone rights. They only trade goods. (We had this discussion before when the Sundarian Federation negotiated with Niom)
In this case you will have to trade specialized information with Niom using trade fleets or the holonet.
In your case a combination of trade fleets and a holonet route should be affordable. Note that you can of course trade zone rights with other players.))

"Good day,
The Veolian Commonwealth has been following this discussion with some interest. Not only because the Intergalactic Exploration of Xi are our neighbours, but also because we have a vested interest in both
production and transport.
We would like to offer some information that might ease the investments necessary to trade large volumes of specialized
. As it is now, the Veolian Commonwealth maintains a modest holonet backbone over
10 -6, 11 -6, 12 -7. The latter two sectors might be of interest to the Intergalactic Exploration of Xi and other parties, as they connect to the Sundarian backbone. Together the Veolian Commonwealth and the Sundarian Federation can create a backbone following the Bozzy Spine all the way to from
10 -5 to
15 -5.
At the moment, our relays only have 185 holonet
available. However, if one or more parties are interested in leasing holonet bandwith for a significant amount of time, we are willing to participate in further talks with regard to the transport of these goods.
With kind regards,
Senator Nehkat Aeka"

We welcome the suggestion, by our Veolian friends, for the possibility to set up a holonet backbone to help manage the infrastructural needs in order to trade the specialized
, which might prove rather pricey for the Corporation for Intergalactic Exploration of Xi given the larger trade distance required.
As said by Senator Nekhet Aeka the Sundarian Federation has several holonet stations, placed along the Bozzy Spine ranging from
13 -6 until 15 -5. Sectors of interest for the the Corporation for Intergalactic Exploration of Xi could
13 -6 and 14 -6, currently with a spare capacity of 485
, depending on the amount Specialized zones this will need to be increased.
Should the discission be made to transport the specialized
via Holonet, either along the route here suggested or any other route, the Sundarian Federation is open to discuss terms for a possible delivery of needed
, and lease our bandwidth. Given the amount of
required and the limitations of our production capacity, this will require a substantial time to build.
To conclude we would like ask when the Corporation for Intergalactic Exploration of Xi hopes to complete this project and wishes to start trading specialized
. The required investment for the Sundarian Federation (including the needed infrastructural upgrades) is rather high, which results in a first estimate for completion around
65 at the earliest.

The duration of this project is not a major issue. Earlier completion is still better, but we have ability to temporarily get the
to Niom without solely depending on the holonet.
Note that at this point we are only exploring options. If Niom does not want to accept a holonet trade, or this turns out to have costs similar to trade using trade fleets, we will keep exploring alternatives until something suitable is found. Do not yet change your construction strategies to fit this deal.

1a. 100
for 500
and
1b. The optional acquisition of Holonet Repeater Technology for 500
Concerning the costs of transportation of goods along the Veolian - Sundarian Backbone:
2. The price of shipment of goods over the Holonet backbone is valuated at 0.05

of the agreement. Giving each party a 5
grace period. The entire agreement will be discontinued if any party indicates its desire to discontinue the deal.
With the start and completion-time of the this project largely depended on our ability to produce sufficient
in a timely fashion, our first estimates are that construction can start around
65 and will be completed roughly 10
later. In order to speed this up, we would be open to receiving the equivalent amount of
and
instead of the aforementioned costs in

Should you find these conditions agreeable, we would gladly draft a treaty so that all parties involved can sign it.

We thank you kindly for your offer. It is the best option for the trade of specialized

To give interested parties some more time to propose alternative solutions. Even if no better options arise we would like a clear statement from Niom that they are willing to trade specialized
for this period of at least 50

We are also interested in a way to make use of our specialized
production in the time period where we have finished our own corporation, but still require to upgrade our other
zones to complete the set of 3 different specialized

We prefer a deal in perpetuity. We find a 15 turn delay preferable as this will give us at least some time to negotiate alternatives before having to retort to more drastic contingencies.
We expect we can start delivery of 440 guides) next
, scaling up to the full 880 guides in
62. If you find this agreeable. We propose that this deal can be ended in
110, provided an announcement is made at least 15
in advance. But we hope this deal proves fruitful enough to warrant its perpetuate duration.
We plan to have the specialized
delivered by holonet. But the required infrastructure is not in place yet. We will upgrade our own holonet receiver to cope with the combined load of outgoing and incoming specialized
if you are willing to arrange the in-sector transport of guides to your system. Until this is ready
transport is the only real option. We are sorry to say that at this point we can't give an ETA for these upgrades.
((OOC: @Peinaili))
We accept the exchange of zone-rights. You may build up to two guides zones in your system at your convenience, as soon as we can start constructing two simtech zones.
We also would like to buy 300
and Holonet Repeater Technology at the earliest possible moment. And transportation of 880 guides in zones (11,-6), (12,-7) and (13,-6). This has slightly less priority, but we no matter the scedule we want transportation of 185 guides along these zones starting
62. We would like this transportation to last as long as our deal with Niom. If this is not an option, we are open to make this deal last for at least 50

Thank you for you response and interest. We are pleased to see you interest in our quotation, and we hope that the negotiations can be concluded with a beneficial result for all parties involved.
The terms suggested by you concerning the exchange of zone rights are acceptable for us, however we would appreciate to hear when you plan to start specialization of your zones by the SimTech corporation.
The requested amount of 300
, together with the Holonet Repeater Technology, can be delivered within the next few turns (3 to 5
) depending our your wishes, availability of production, and your manner of payment. The total price for this, following the earlies quotation would be a total of 2000
, or a tax equivalent amount of
and
(preferably in equal amounts; 0.75
/ per product).
On the Sundarian side a transport of 185 units of
starting at
62 is possible, however I can not speak for the Veolian Commonwealth and do not know if they are able to make the same capacity available at the same time. I shall make inquiry on your behalf as I make arrangements for the needed expansion of the infrastructure.
Concerning the terms in the agreement for transportation, I must inform you that we cannot agree on a dependency involving the Socialist Republic of Niom and I doubt the Veolian Commonwealth would agree too. I would therefore suggest we make an agreement for at least 50
perpetually, with terms for termination yet to be discussed.
I shall confer with the Veolian Commonwealth and discuss your wishes, after which you shall have an answer.

The agreement you propose sounds most reasonable and we accept your proposal of a deal in perpetuity with a 15 turn notice period. We will take care of the holonet capacity in Sector 13 -6 and our home sector, if you will take care of the holonet capacity in sector 12 -6 and your home sector.
We would like to include the Sundarian Federation in our arrangement, to make the cooperation in the information area a three-way rather than a two way deal. How do you feel about this?
Regardless, as an additional incentive, the Socialist Republic of Niom wishes to provide your faction with the Holonet Repeaters technology, if it is not yet available to you - this should help to reduce the cost of maintenance. Finally, we wish to make available to you 1000

Is this acceptable to your world?"

62, using the relays in
(11,-6),
(12,-7) and

Dear lady Peinaili de Montreve
The republic of Niom has communicated that they are willing to help in reducing the transport costs of specialized
. This means that your offer to this end has become redundant. We hope this does not greatly inconvenience you. Since our previous communications had a really definite tone, we are willing to recompense any costs made toward this project since then.
Instead we would like to buy 700
, without associated technologies. We are still looking at whether of not to acquire temporary transportation for our guides, but we no longer foresee any need to transport more than the 185 your capacities already can handle.
On the matter of SimTech zones: We plan to finish the first 2

" Honored Senator Abaroa,
From your communique we have concluded that you no longer wish to come an agreement concerning the transportation of specialized information via the Veolian - Sundarian Holonet arrays, as it seems that the Republic of Niom has seemingly made a better offer, of which we do not know the details. Where we have always dealt openly and made our offers in public, the Republic of Niom, has clearly decided to make an offer without providing us with any information about said offer.
Thus we have decided that we do not wish to partake in backdoor negotiations and that we hereby formally withdraw from these negotiations altogether. Should you come to the conclusion that our withdrawal makes your negotiations with Niom impossible, we would offer the hospitality of our Embassy to both yourself and the honored Senator of Niom, to conduct a new round of open negotiations to which we will also invite a representative of the Veolian Commonwealth.
Yours sincerely,
Senator Peinaili Lade de Montrève.

" Honored Senator Abaroa,
From your communique we have concluded that you no longer wish to come an agreement concerning the transportation of specialized information via the Veolian - Sundarian Holonet arrays, as it seems that the Republic of Niom has seemingly made a better offer, of which we do not know the details. Where we have always dealt openly and made our offers in public, the Republic of Niom, has clearly decided to make an offer without providing us with any information about said offer.
Thus we have decided that we do not wish to partake in backdoor negotiations and that we hereby formally withdraw from these negotiations altogether. Should you come to the conclusion that our withdrawal makes your negotiations with Niom impossible, we would offer the hospitality of our Embassy to both yourself and the honored Senator of Niom, to conduct a new round of open negotiations to which we will also invite a representative of the Veolian Commonwealth.
Yours sincerely,
Senator Peinaili Lade de Montrève.

While we appreciate your offer on the solution of our transportation problems, we have discovered that you have posted it to us using a separate channel, bypassing the broader discussion on communication altogether. Until the time that this error is rectified, we will refuse to discuss it.
Moreover, since your actions inconvenience us and those we view as allies, we will assume any delay in rectifying this is made with hostile intent; until and unless the delay is explained to our satisfaction.

The reply message was public:
"Senator, with indignation does the Socialist Republic of Niom reject the implied allegation by the Corporation for intergalactic exploration of Xi, that it, in any way, attempted to maliciously inconvenience Xi or it's allies."
For all the indignation he claimed, nothing of the sorts was detectable in his voice, which was the same slow monotonous droning on that the senator used to deliver all speeches. Either the senator was not quite as offended as his text made it out to be or he simply never changed his tone of voice under any circumstance. Quite possibly both.
"It is the opinion of the Socialist Republic of Niom, that the manner in which goods are transported between the Hepra System ((OOC: Niom home system)) and the Xi-Tra system are a matter of bilateral concern that has no impact of any significance on the manner by which goods are transported between the Xi-Tra system and its allies. Could the Corporation for intergalactic exploration of Xi elaborate if, and if so, why it believes differently in this manner?
Furthermore, it is the desire of the Socialist Republic of Niom to clarify that it explicitly called for the inclusion of the Sundarian Federation in the final formation of our trade agreement. In the past, our agreements regarding the exchange of specialized information has always been trilateral and we would like to continue this in future endeavors."
