"Herald of Night, Breaker of Dawn, Management sends their regards. We bring these gifts as a sign of goodwill, and hope for future cooperation."
"'Tis been a while since We have witnessed such splendor, sister! The glory days of the Empire, perhaps?"
"Indeed. Equestria is grateful for your offerings, and while our best wizards take interest in their immediate properties, I appreciate the gesture itself. Equestria takes pride in her dedication to peace and harmony. It is a joy to see our values reciprocated."
"I'm glad to hear it, your Highness. Management will be pleased to hear their approach has brought fruit."
"Modern fiction's portrayal of first contact puzzled Us for the longest of times. We are glad to see Our subject's grim predictions disproven."
"Management considers unnecessary conflict bad for business. In the spirit of continued cooperation, Management offers an initiative, one that would greatly benefit both sides. If the Diarchy would be so kind as to hear our proposition..."
"This... Management thee speak of... What are they, exactly? Pardon our Prench, but thy form is... quite unique."
"What my sister means is that we would like to know more about our potential allies. Your name would be a great place to start."
“Ah, where are my manners? Ailred Eillen, I represent DRG’s legal department. As for Management, their group contains various individuals, from humans to dwarfs, each member earning their place through hard work and unwavering conviction to the Company’s beliefs.”
“Which are?”
“Professionalism. Principle. Profit.”
“Hmpf. A reassuring motto. In any case, We see thee are eager to bargain. Speak thy mind, and We will judge thy offer accordingly.”
"Of course. On behalf of Management, the following contract bestows upon The Company the indelible right to prospect Eqqus in its entirety, granting you the role of an intermediary between Deep Rock Galactic, and governmental bodies.
In return, DRG offers its technological support, coupled with monetary compensation equal to any complications that may, or may not, occur as a result of our planetary operations.
Management discourages investigation and/or disruption of our planetary operations, which may, or may not, result in bodily injury and/or death of interlopers."
“...”
“I am willing to answer any questions you may have.”
“What is the nature of your ‘operations’ in our lands? What kind of conduct would result in grievous injury, even death from mere investigation?”
“Choose thy next words carefully, creature. Threats will not get thee far.”
“I-it was no my intention to offend, Your Majesties! Heavy mining equipment, while certified for field use for our workforce, is certainly not safe to be around for any regular person! Furthermore, disruptions to our operations may cause accidents, often with explosive consequences!”
“It doesn’t sound like a safe work environment, yet you allow your own workers to operate anyway?”
“Our workforce is subjected to strict screening protocols. Plus, our R&D is nothing to scoff at. Just last month-”
“Thee have yet to answer Our sister’s question. What is the nature of thy ‘operations’?”
“I’m afraid this information is classified. B-but I’m sure Management will see to properly informing Equestria after the contract is finalized-”
“We will inform you of our decision by nightfall, Mr. Eillen. For now, let us proceed to the dining hall. It would do us all good to mingle, don’t you think?”
“I-.... Of course, your Highness.”
