Dear Ms Holland,

Most maintenance drones currently available on Liberty market are of Ageira design but mass produced by Deep Space Engineering. These drones are by default linked with central maintenance interface of the ship for coordination of tasks. In the event of an emergency situation when communication with central interface is unavailable or is destroyed an individual AI kicks in. After that each drone, based on available information, tries to repair the most dangerous damage. All Deep Space Engineering sold drones come with a one year free firmware upgrade license. So you can either purchase new drones or we can adjust the software to work with the ones you currently posses - which may prove to be cost-ineffective due to incompatibility of the hardware.

As for sentry drones this is strictly military level technology with multiple restrictions in place. For instance, all AI-controlled drones may not be armed with lethal weapons while on board moored ships, bases or planet surfaces in Liberty Space. I do not think it will be a problem for a vessel operating mainly in Omicrons and other Edge Worlds. The Core bears a status of legitimate military contractor so there will be no problem with securing a contract from the legal point of view. The software and the security drones themselves are one package though and are not sold separately for both legal and security reasons. Most parts of the system is produced on Detroit Munitions in New York and then assembled on Hamilton Station in Ontario. We may either ship you a required amount to a designated place or you may pick them up from Ontario.

As for the price of our services, we do hope to negotiate a purchase of several Manta class very heavy fighters with a full set of your weaponry to use in our security wings. Please advise on possible terms of bidirectional contract.

Dear Ms Holland,

Imagine following worst case scenario. We send you a copy of a sentry drone software which you install on a number of your drones. At least one of them is lost in an incident prearranged by a capable terrorist group like Lane Hackers. Stolen hardware does not have Ageira Technologies attested security safeguards responsible for erasing data and detonating micro-explosives on detection of a tampering attempt - like a typical batch of trade lane parts. As a result Ageira Technologies software is sold back on black market to every potential buyer including other dangerous terrorist groups or worse - the competition. Imagine a competition sponsored terrorist attack in which a hypothetical security vulnerability is used to infect our sentry drones in order for them to, let's say, attack innocent civilians. I cannot even assess magnitude of potential damage to both our credibility and income.

Naturally, possibility of such scenario is close to none. It is so because we do not take security issues lightly, and that includes making exceptions to our centuries long policies. It is also why you have come to us and not our competition.

Dear Ms Holland,

It is over a month since your last transmission. Should I understand that you dropped the project?

Dear Ms Holland,

I am terribly sorry for the delay, but as you probably heard, we are rather busy these days. Hamilton Station has been notified about your planned arrival. Please advise on the the possibility of tying agreement I have mentioned earlier.
