Anything you can do for us, mmh? Presumptuous. You have the imperial touch upon you, Peter. I’ll watch for your exploits.

Careful what you wish for. We haven’t even began to reach the stage of digging favours. I’m on a mining station. Once, it mined the boundless wealth of the fatherland. Now, it mines the possessions of dead men from a dying house. Apt.

People lie to each other and call it curtsy. Cute of them. I am an engineer - I take the refuse of the Heimatland and reforge it into the artillery that will remould her - or blow the rust away. Ironmongers do what we must.

I understand machines. I look at people as if they are machines - because that is what they, we, are. Pumps and wire. Flesh and soul. Machines and men. If you can figure out where to stick it, anyone can manufacture both.

We are the best shipwrights in the Sirius sector, Peter. Provide documentation of the components' delivery and I’ll roll your cruiser off Wedel’s gantries myself.

You’ve met me before, Peter. You’re Patriot, brother; its in the undertones of your voice. You know Patris is written in the blood of the volk. Your cause is our cause. Rheinland has been raped, Hecht. Our politicians are their bastard spawn. Only the truisms of National Labour will save our house from foreign decadence. Only you, only me. People like us.

We are shipwrights by trade - and the Landwirtrechtbewegung will forever be in need of ships. Your TR4c-TOR Sickles and your TR4c-T1R Scythes, our UN line, are based upon the CTE Eagle and ARKM Valkyrie lines just as ours are. The tooling of our fighters are close enough to permit shared just-in-time production. In short - we have the capacity to build and fighters bombers for the Bewegung on demand.

Shipwrights are rare in the side of the law we occupy. The righteous side. I’m propositioning you, Peter. You provide us with the blueprints for the TR4c line and we will ensure that the production concerns plaguing the Sichel’s development were nothing more than a passing nightmare.

This isn’t conditional. The cruiser will be completed irrespective if you agree to our terms or not. But it is beyond the worth of mentioning that we are far, far better equipped to produce your war machines for you.

Think on it; it's a standing question. I wouldn’t ask anything of you before the LWB receives its warship intact.
