This message is directed to the CEO of Cryer Pharmaceuticals.

The name is Dr. of Science, DreyKhat Takar, CEO of the Scientific Consortium of Investigative Operations, or SCIOP for short. SCIOP is a scientific cooperation that invites scientists of all calibers to receive the help in which they need. Providing the necessary logistics, it prides itself in allowing the objectives of scientific research and advancement flourish. In essence, we are trying to re-establish pure science amongst the Sirian Science community once again.

Of course, in the attempt to accomplish such an endeavor a few things are necessary. Thus we get to the reason why I have contacted you today. We are in need of some real-estate to house the corporation. As we have done some research of our own, the eyes of the organization has laid upon the Cambridge Research Facility. It would be perfect to our needs, and with the Planet of Cambridge below, would allow us to be at the heart of the Sirian Science community.

So, the proposal. I wish to speak with you regarding the acquisition of such real-estate on this orbital facility. Details can be discussed once the proposal is considered. We will come to the knowledge of such a consideration based on your reply and the words it contains. I can be contacted back at this comm address and I do look forward to hearing for you.

Takar out!

Our research will most likely be involving various animals in the process of testings.


Do you carry out simple maintenance or cleaning tasks that require working
where you could hurt yourself if you fell?
I personally do not conduct such cleaning tasks, yet our janitorial staff,
or the one provided by Cryer, will most likely perform such tasks.


Can you avoid the need to work at height? For example, could the work be
done using long-handled tools or by bringing it down to ground level?
It most likely could be accomplished from ground level. Yet, if Cryer does not provide
a janitorial staff, we will most likely contract out the upkeep of the facilities.


Do you have the most appropriate equipment for the job? It may often be safer
to use a tower scaffold or mobile elevating work platform than a ladder.
As we will be contracting out the upkeep, it will be the repsonsiblities of this
company to make the necessary equipment available to its workers.



Is the equipment you have well maintained and do your employees know how
to use it safely?
Yes, all equipment that is used by those under our organization is given to ever scientist/member
on an "as needed" basis. This entails everything being requested, in which the receptor of such equipment must
present knowledge of the operations and safety aspects regarding such equipment.

Dear Dr Dreykhat Takar; I'm sure you can understand that our CEO is much too busy to gift personal attention to the myriad scientific groups around sirius; and (after some communication relay adjustment) this matter has been delegated to our offices at CRI.
Whilst your mission statement seems a noble one, we unfortunately cannot offer you boardings or offices of any kind on cambridge research station; since it has no such facilities.
Cambridge research is primarily a zero-g testing, development and production facility which unfortunately leaves little space for anything else.
In addition flammable dusts, gasses and pressurised fluids are not permitted on-board Cambridge research station itself.
You may of course feel free to visit the station and take the tour or visit the logistics staff; but remember when you sign that form at reception that you are agreeing not to use or copy any information that you may discover whilst on the tour, whilst on-board, or discoveries derived from Cryer products.
If your insurance checks out with Interspace, then our department is prepared to allow other stages of your research (that do not involve and methods or substances that we deem dangerous) on-board Cambridge Research Station under supervision of Cryer employees. These would be any parts of your research that require a zero gravity environment.
All of this being said; we invite all prominent members of the scientific community to take up residence at cambridge university complex itself. The Cambridge Research Institute and complex has immediate access to the many seminars and conventions that take place, as well as the university campus with it's wealth of intern eye-candy, eager to augment any project.
In short, we would welcome you to the heart of the scientific community itself, planetside; and we are sorry we are unable to provide offices on CRS itself.
Legal:

1. Do you agree to absolve Cryer Pharmaceuticals of any unforeseen accidents that may occur
during your work?

2. Do you agree to permit Cryer full and exclusive domain over any pharmacological discoveries during research performed on C.R.S?

3. Do you agree to abide by all currently extant rules laws and regulations regarding
animals in captivity and relevant operating and shipping laws as decreed by the Bretonian Government?

Your message has been received and we entirely understand. We may take you up in the future regarding the use of your laboratories later down the road. Thank you on inviting us to the surface, and we are already in the process of acquiring such space on Canbridge.

As to the legal document, we do not understand the need to fill it out. If a pertinent reason is presented, we will do as such.

Until then.

Takar out!
