Firstly, please accept our apologies for the delay in our response to your enquiry. I am Karl Blix, and I have been assigned to be the IMG liaison with the Republic.
We in the IMG are eager to renew the spirit of co-operation with the Crayter Republic that has served both so well in the past. We are more than happy to offer the use of one of the dry docks on Singapore, to allow for the repair of your ships and an increase in your fighting potential.

We would also be willing to offer our services with the reconstruction of any bases damaged in Tau-44, both logistically and with the shipment of goods where they are needed, if so desired. We can stockpile goods that you might need for reconstruction, or even offer some of our own stockpiles to speed up rebuilding. We should be able to provide robotics, hull segments, engine components, and compatible ammo or energy cells – should you desire them.

Regarding the “radical expansion” of Singapore you mention, what precisely do you have in mind? The more specific you can be about you desires, the quicker we can try and accommodate them.

Yours, in solidarity

Whilst we admire your ambition, we must be prudent in these trying times. The Gallics have been removed from Tau-44 but their spies remain, and such a large scale operation would be very easy for them to discover and report back to their masters about, as well as the increased traffic flowing to the base bringing supplies and workers. The Gallics have spies throughout the Taus, not to mention a Battleship on our doorstep in Tau-23. Furthermore, we cannot be assured of the total loyalty of Council troops that have surrendered and changed sides. Not that we do not share your desire for an expanded Singapore, just we must be careful that our desires do not outstretch our means.

As a first step, we recommend working on increasing the interior of the facility to match your needs before we embark on such a large outer extension, and re-assessing the situation once that has been completed.

Would this be acceptable? If so, what supplies do you believe would be required for an internal refit matching your desires?


Yours, in solidarity

Please accept my most sincere apologies, time has flown and communications have been lost. I am truly very sorry for the delay in responding.

If your organisation is so keen on this refit, then we are happy to oblige. The Gallic presence in the Taus has diminished recently, hopefully, this means that now is the right time for us to begin flexing our muscles. I do hope when the Gallics find out about this, they will be pre-occupied elsewhere.

From what you have mentioned we believe your work will require around 4000 units of each of the following:

• Ablative Armor Plating
  Ship Hull Panels
  Robotics
  

Do you think this is feasible?

Yours, in solidarity
