Greetings, your popelinessessesses.

I've got a bit of an odd request from a couple of my higher ranking pilots who are looking for some extended-range vessels that are a bit more durable and capable of surviving deep space threats than your average freighter but are self-sufficient for longer than your average superiority or strike fighter. Specifically, they really want Ospreys. I don't know what the going rate on those things are, or if the various groups that produce them are still pretty protective of them, but I've got three-- no, wait, hold on just a sec...

^{go away Katherine I am on the phone with them right this minute about them what do you mean Alex wants one too}

Sorry about that. I've got four pilots who are really interested in the aerospace engineering marvel that is the Mark Two. We can do the maintenance on them and fittings to integrate our current technology lines with them ourselves, and we're willing to pay upfront for additional procurement costs. Just name your price and I'll clear it with the Ministry of Finance.

Please let me know if you and/or Eris have any questions or concerns.

Regards,
Harold Kane
Minister of Relations, Natio Octavarium
