It is wise of you to see beyond the common opinion that so many in the Empire seem to share, of Hutts as mere criminals rather than the contributing members of society that, in fact, we are. It also pleases me that you are humble and reasonable enough to set aside the Empire's humanocentric beliefs and appreciate the talents of certain species for certain things that are, quite often, superior to those of humans. In the past, the common "wisdom" of the Empire in both of these respects has impeded an otherwise cordial relationship with us, the Hutts. But as you have made a gesture of peace (and, more important, of mutual profit), I am happy to accommodate your request for a labor force and, I hope, have additional business dealings with the Cadavine Sector in the future.

If you are no more particular than "several hundred" as concerns the number of workers, I can see to it these are delivered to you in a standard week, or less. I will gladly accept as payment the ingots you have mentioned. However, I wonder if I might ask a favor, also? Well, a few favors. You see, there is a species that is indigenous to one of your moons, Gall, that interests me. The cliff wampa is said to be a creature of considerable might and ferocity, and I would be most grateful if you could capture for me 15 to 20 of these, for my purposes. Also, the Xerrol Corporation manufactures a rifle known as the "Nightstinger," but I'm afraid the Empire has rather unreasonable limits on its sale and possession. But surely for a man of your stature, it would not be difficult to procure a few of these. 10 of them, perhaps? I would be most grateful. Finally, would you kindly obtain for me a complete listing of the Abrion Sector Fleet? I have certain interests in that sector that would benefit from this knowledge, if you would be so kind.

I hope this is the beginning of a profitable relationship for us both, Your Superbness.

I believe that we can some to an agreement in the following areas. I would be able to procure the requested animal that is known to populate the moon of Gall. It of course would not be an easy task, nor too difficult in gaining the capture and ownership of said beast. Nor would I see much difficulty in gaining the item from the Xerrol Corporation that you have so graciously requested, as many crates can go missing during a shipment with just a simple clerical error, or the miss labeling of the crate. The information though on the Abrion Sector Fleet may be of more difficulty to obtain than those mentioned above. The Moff would not ideally just hand over a roster of those ships with in his fleet. Nor would it be easy to merely count them, as I have been so found of sending the same ships through the same area multiple times as a rouse to make it look as if the fleet is larger. While this is the most difficult, it is by far not impossible. I will be contacting a third party on your behalf, speaking with him should reassure you that the job will be done, of course his fees will be paid by myself and the Cadavine Sector, so there is no need to worry for payment upon the rendering of services.
