ESTABLISHING VIDEO FEED
Esteemed Kaiserliche Rheinwehr Admiralty,
I am Rupert Gehrig, Betriebsleiter of Daumann Heavy Constructions. As the matter I am bringing forward needs to be hastily adressed, I will cut straight to the point and will leave the formalities for another day, if you will allow me.
Daumann Heavy Construction is the owner of Ruhrpott Mining Facility, in Stuttgart system, sector E4. It has been a fruitful investment, both for our company, as well as for the local economy. However, there has been an increase presence of pirates in Stuttgart, and its surronding systems.
While we trust the Rheinwehr for the safety of our space, it is our belief that unburdening your forces in the area may be a key element to help you increase military presence elsewhere. As such, we hereby request the permission to build six defence modules in the vicinity of Ruhrpott Mining Facility, to ensure the safety of pilots in and around the station.
We believe that collective actions need to be taken against the criminal question, and we hope that these platforms will contribute to the effort of the Empire to provide the safest space in Sirius.
With utmost respect,
Rupert Gehrig
Operation Manager,
Daumann Heavy Construction.
a man not keen on wasting time when it is in short supply. How welcome.
The Oberkommando has received your request. As fate would have it, there is a surplus of materials after very recent operations within Frankfurt. Criminal scum and their illegal installations have no place within the Empire. I believe some of it, if not all, is already being processed at The Ring as we speak. Initially intended for maintance on some of our vessels, parts of it will be redirected to your efforts.
Use it. Form out of their mistakes the very weapon that will deter their ilk from pestering Rheinland's hard working corporations ever again.
Your request is hereby granted on my authoritiy.
You are to begin construction immediately, the answer to the criminal question is a mutlilayered one - you are now a part of it, Betriebsleiter Gehrig.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
