To: Laura Caspers
Ms. Laura,
Ageira Technologies, Deep Space Engineering and Universal Shipping have worked closely through centuries with strict parts to play in providing services to Sirius. While recent decades allowed corporations to expand their operations beyond very specific and narrow roles in this, our companies are loyal to a fault and while we might have a different approach to how we perceive our place in Sirius, we still work hand in hand and we cannot imagine Sirius as it is without this close cooperation throughout centuries. And because of their outstanding performance in the past, all Sirius houses have the same level and density of Jump Gate and Trade Lane network as house where this technology originated from.
While we are aware of your animosity with Universal Shipping during wartime, we have hoped that it is in the past considering your current laws have not a single restriction upon their corporation. Therefore we are questioning the honesty of your claims that it is problematic or concerning to have them on same level as Ageira Technologies and Deep Space Engineering. We would also like to make it absolutely clear that this is not a special right as you assume. This is inherit right for only Ageira Technologies, Deep Space Engineering and Universal Shipping are authorized to transport Docking Ring, Jump Gate and Trade Lane Parts.
We are not asking for additional cargo permission which we currently could not transport. We are asking, for your government to acknowledge our long-lasting proprietary technology rights in a written form. If you claim that everyone should be allowed to transport our Whiteboxes then you are approving illegal shipments and criminals who have illegally obtained them in the first place through nefarious ways such as pirating our vessels while on the way to your facilities.
Our Whiteboxes are equipped with cutting-edge technology that prevents them from being tampered with in any way possible. Result of such transgression is explosion that leaves nothing but emptiness out of our products. Imagine the scandal if somehow your civilians would be exposed to such security measure due to them believing it is absolutely fine to attempt what civilized and progressive legislative bodies call corporate espionage simply because there is no written law in Rheinland. We are well aware of countless attempts to steal and reverse-engineer our proprietary technology.
And while our corporations use it to provide interstellar travel to Sirius, we know of many organizations that would attempt to weaponize this technology. Imagine the consequences of your enemies gaining such a devastating weapon. We can strongly claim that we have not yet failed to repossess our Whiteboxes because Liberty allows us to protect it. We wish that Rheinland does not enable someone to weaponize the technology.
You are forcing us to answer question by putting pressure in implying that it is vital to the outcome of your decision. We would like to remind that while your house have nationalized the network at no point has your house been able to maintain it without involvement of our corporations. Even during wartime, we have upheld our obligation to provide services despite constantly being harassed and discriminated by your officers and looked down by your corporations. If that is not proof of our dedication to provide Sirius with continued faster-than-light travel, then we do not know what is.
Our corporations have many clients and many contracts that we are working on. We have to prioritize it all based on many factors. We do not refuse to repair the Jump Gate that has been collateral damage in assault on your border station but you have to understand that it is in your power to convince us that it should become number one priority for Ageira. Perhaps we should have waited to be approached by your government to judge how fast do you want our solution to your problem.
Sincerely,
John White,
President, Ageira Innovations
