A tri-folded letter written of fine vellum is delivered to the Floating Flagon, bearing the recipient "Curator Bell" just above its brass seal. Upon opening, crisply stamped letters stand boldly forth from the pale treated page, its edges limned in a thin border of grue and bleen.
Mister Bell,
It is with no minor regret that I suggest our last meeting may have come to a less than ideal resolution, for which I wish to apologize the appropriate portion. While I may perceive that the particulars of your methods are potentially inefficient and legally questionable, I still sincerely agree with and support your motive. Therefore, it arises that a moderation of support must be reached, such that both parties benefit positively from the arrangement, without estrangement or competition. If you would accept it, I would meet with you in person to discuss the particulars of any arrangement, but shall list in plain terms below the gist of potential aid and recompense so as to be considered before any such engagement. So as to vet the suggestions to remain within the realm of plausibility, I have run them past my public-relations-adviser and received favorable response.
It comes easily to the public eye that you are planning a series of expeditions to various locales with the intent to recover various heirlooms and artifacts, none of which would currently appear to be low-risk nor low-cost. It is within my means to assist with a portion of funding and equipment for such expeditions, as well as providing manpower incentives. Such values aught better to be discussed in person, however I am willing to provide for a fixed percentage of costs, presuming a receipt of such an investment may be tabulated.
As my response indicated when you first put out a request for construction assistance, my associates and I are quite capable of attending to restoration and maintenance of your chosen facility. The extent of service provided is up to you, but could easily be expanded to include artifact restoration, replication, and/or anti-theft measures for exhibitions as desired.
It is my current understanding that you have amongst your employ the services of Miss Starweaver as your subject-matter-analyst. To this I offer the strongest of assurances that you have chosen well, as I would personally vouch for the tenacity, insight, and character of the young Journeyman of Arcane Construction. However, if Miss Starweaver or yourself encounters an intellectual anomaly to which your combined prowess appears temporarily repulsed, I would offer forth my skills to such a task - though likely with a mediator to prevent deterioration to the point of our previous encounter.
The Recompense I would desire for the listed assistance would be threefold, though none in my opinion to be outside the ordinary for such sponsorship. Firstly I would request a receipt or summary of any transactions to which sponsored funds or equipment are directed, such that proper fiscal accountability may be maintained. Secondly, it would be my desire to receive a duplicate copy of any data discerned and compiled by the Museum or its analysts, with full credit to be given to the appropriate individuals partaking in the research, as well as the option to conduct my own investigations on duplicate artifacts - iff they may be confirmed to be identical duplicates. Thirdly, to ensure due credit, I would like to see one or all of the following entities mentioned in an appropriate locale for Museum Sponsors once it is open and operational: the Fabricator's Collective, Frazer Manufacturing, and/or the Exigo Corporation.
In the event these terms are not acceptable, I would request you bring such matter up in discussion at the next opportunity. To facilitate such an opportunity, it may be of mutual interest to coordinate a date and time to conduct business. I may be reached either at the Skullcleaver Facility, Schild Mountain, at the Exigo Branch Offices, Mirakus Post, or via telecommunication. If the presence of a mutually beneficent mediator is desired, please indicate such in your communique and I shall make the appropriate arrangements. I look forward to the possibility of future projects with you and your estate.
Sincerely,
