My name is Commander Lincoln Phoenix. I represent my benefactor Mr.Universe involving a project that we require your expertise on. We are currently constructing a vessel that will be capable of traveling far beyond our known sector of space. To that end the vessel we are building to do this must be able to overcome all the obstacles that it may come across.

Although we have not ever met in person I have heard much of your exploits from my benefactor a few times of the great many technologies you have designed. As you know traversing a large distance in open space is not only dangerous because of potential internal obstacles but also dangerous external entities as well.

With this in mind the ship which we are designing specifically for this task will need to be able to fend for itself from all enemies it may come across as well as withstand fire should the situation arise. As of now we believe that you have the necessary skills to manufacture a quality array of weapons to help ensure this vessel has sufficient firepower for starters. The second part we believe you are qualified for would be the ability to provide with unique shielding that would protect the crew from not online incoming weapon damage but also protection from possible unknown radiation.

Since this is the first time we have communicated I’m sure our request may seem unnerving. To this end, should you wish to meet in person to discuss further details feel free to let us know in a return message. For now we thank you for taking the time to read this message and hope for a profitable business venture for us both.

first off I identify as a zoner. I am currently in the services of Mr.Universe who is also a zoner. As of right now the only allegiance we have is to the Consensus which to our knowledge has no quarrel with you. I can promise you that we have no hostile intent and once the vessel is finished you will most likely never seen it again.

The weapons we are hoping to procure will be, as I said before, mounted on a vessel that will be leaving our known space with the possibility of never returning. For this reason alone we do not need classified or anything experimental for this purpose. Merely something capable of fending off any attack from unknown hostiles should this situation befall us.

I will be the one to personally lead this mission so I am the ideal candidate to be answering all of your questions should you have more. To answer your final question what is the mission of this ship. Sufficient to say it will be exploring deep space beyond anything we have observed thus far within the Sirius sector.

Please let me know if these answers are adequate for we have a short window of time we have to work with. In roughly 6 weeks time the vessel should be space worthy and launched and my benefactor, Mr.Universe, is keen on keeping his schedule. We look forward to speaking further on this matter. Just in case you wished to have the spec's for the vessel in questions here they are:


This vessel will require cruiser grade turrets with 2 heavy, 7 light hardpoints. Should you need more clarification let me know.

Do not fret even for a moment. With the many issues that Sirius currently faces its any wonder we are still alive and able to converse in a civilized manner these days with one another, but I digress you are right regardless. My apologies, Mr.Cosmos' colorful word choice seems to be wearing off onto me. I can respect the slowed response. In fact, it seems it was warranted since you seem to have put a great deal of research and thought into fulfilling our needs. I'm grateful for you working with us on this matter.

As you can see the answer to our dilemma was and is no easy solution. Although I believe your answer to be mostly what we wish to go with, some minor information, which we wish to provide, may clarify our final weapons order. We believe that the biggest concern we will face in the unknown quadrant of space, which we will be traveling in, is yet to be determined. We do however have the options of what we could run into reduced to a more manageable size for a few reasons.

If you noticed one of the things we have designed this ship for is speed. Although its hull strength will be far weaker to ships similar in nature our ship is designed to have superior speed to enable us to outrun any vessel that might pose serious threat to us. Although we would never wish to be completely defenseless to that option is one reason we believe the 2 heavy turret points will be of great value to us. On to the 7 Standard cruiser-grade turret hardpoints. We believe that since we may be able to outrun slower but stronger vessels we may not have the ability to outrun or outmaneuver smaller vessels. To this end we believe that 5x "Solaris" Point Defense Turrets are best suited for those types of engagements.
Here is what we think fits the best loadout for the ship:

• 1x "Light Mortar" Artillery Cannon
  
• 1x "Cerberus" Heavy Turret
  
• 2x "Pulse" EMP Turrets
  
• 5x "Solaris" Point Defense Turrets
  

Hopefully this makes sense. Now, in regards to the shield, a cruiser-grade shield will be adequate I am sure. This vessel's primary goal will be to evade any and if possible all encounters it can. That way we can preserve energy and resources for a lot longer.

Last thing we wish to discuss is delivery and payment. Unless you wish to install them yourselves I believe our engineer's and technicians should be capable enough to install everything on our own. As for payment, what do you believe to be proper compensation with the materials, and if your services are used, installation fee's? I'm sure we can come to a number that would satisfy you and the rest of your department. For now we thank you for your time and I look forward to finishing up our negotiations soon.

I can retrieve the equipment from Alabama Shipyard at your earliest convenience. I am confident that the engineer's and technicians will be able to install everything on their own. As for fee's and all other payments, where do you wish me to send the funds? Let me know when its best to pickup the equipment and after I send the funds I will make my way to the location. For now I await your response. Good day.
