Mister Rose,

While I've had the pleasure of getting acquainted with Detroit Munitions already, via a security officer by the name of Savannah McEvedy - a kind and respectful woman. I believe however that you and I have not been introduced. I am Vice Admiral Maria Uhmen of the Forty-Sixth Fleet, flag officer aboard the LNX-Akhetaten. I have to unfortunately inform you that I am not quite well aware of Detroit Munitions' history myself; the nature of my service within the Libertonian Armed Forces has not granted me with the ability to carefully look up information regarding organizations such as yours, with most of my career being aboard the LNX-Akhetaten you can understand that my duties involved completely different fields. That being said, I do not wish to speak lowly of your organization in any way. The brief history that you went over with the Admiralty is at least to be described as impressive - it is rather good to know that we are working with an organization of such esteem.

For the sake of not dragging this discussion on for too long without contributing anything, I will refrain from commenting on the next statement of yours, CEO Rose. I'm certain there's people way more qualified than I am to take you up on the political side of things.

Last but not least, I highly appreciate the desire to establish a joint research team with the Forty-Sixth's RDI division. I briefly mentioned to security officer McEvedy that there's already a project in my mind that Detroit Munitions can help with, and I trust to have more direct and specific information for you in the upcoming weeks. I shall inform RDI Command of all the above. I expect a secure channel to be put in place between our Fleet's RDI division and your own research division in due time. Seeing how those developments are expected to benefit the Republic's Armed Forces, I see no reason to deny your request of setting up a modular installation in orbit of Maine. The Forty-Sixth Fleet will ensure the safety of your crews during and after construction of this facility.

We will require a timeframe regarding this facility. More specifically, the date you expect construction to begin and the time it will take for the facility to be fully operational after that. I am also inclined to ask if you're planning to request approval by the Government to install weapons platforms to aid with the facility's defense. If that is the case, we shall return to this subject after the Government has approved or denied of this request. Should that not be the case, however, I would like to be duly informed in due time; the earlier, the better.

With all due respect.
