(*Heavy Static Sounds*)-Come on Izzy... I was told that you are a great IT but you can't even make the comunications go online!? (...) Don't tell me to calm down, we are at least two days overdue, this is a very importan-(*Static Sounds Stops*)-STOP! I think we got a stable signal now... Can you hear me? Hello? Izzy why don't we have image? (...) Only sound for now!? Oh ok then, it will have to do...

(*Clears Throat*)

Greetings, my name is Philip Wright,
I am the Museum Curator of "Freeport 7 Memorial & Museum" complex (F7MM for short).
I am aware that a GMG patrol has stumbled this morning into our construction yard, it tried to establish contact with the base but failed... The reason being that our comunication systems just come online just some minutes ago, and as you can see, only sound no image, it's barely working... Our neural net page is still offline unfortunately.
I know that this does not justify the fact that my superiors didn't inform any of your Officials before the construction started, I really don't know what went wrong, and about that all I can ask is for you to accept my most sincere apologies.
F7MM is a non profit organization and does not have any military purposes, quite the opposite, F7MM goal is to remember the souls lost on that fateful day 25 years ago, every House in Sirius has lost someone that day and on the consequent Nomad War, myself included... Nevertheless the majority of the population of Sirius knows very little about the details of this war, F7MM role is to educate about this dramatic events.
I can't tell you for sure if F7MM will someday open any kind of research or factory facilities, since Sigma-17 is a previgilated crossroad between BorderWorlds-EdgeWorlds-Kusari-Rheinland, but I can assure you that our main focus will always be the Memorial and Museum.
We are also aware that the Sigmas are living hard days once again and our base can provide a safe heaven for diplomacy, since this is a place for meditation, contemplation and respect.

For your convenience:
Affiliation: Zoner
Base Location: Sigma-17 System next to the Freeport 7 Ruins, only 10K away from the Sigma-17->Sigma-19 Jump Gate. >NavMap<
Role: Museum and a Memorial complex.
Access: Like any Zoner Base, as long as you behave, you can dock.

On behalf of all staff at Freeport 7 Memorial & Museum
Many thanks and once again sorry - Museum Curator: Phil W.

Curator Wright,

Thank you for your time; your efforts in making contact are most appreciated. Unfortunately, there are some issues.

We do not consider Sigma-17 to be in need of any bases other than the ones that already exist, particularly one that would be beyond GMG control and potentially act as a stop-off point for ships otherwise unwelcome in our territory. Additionally, freeports, as you suggest your base would effectively be, are notorious hotbeds of unsavoury activity. While we empathise with the ideology behind them, we do not find the idea of one in our backyard to be a particularly appetising one as it would pose a significant security risk.

Furthermore, the events revolving around the destruction of Freeport 7 and the 800 A.S. Nomad War are common knowledge in the Sirius Sector and attempts to educate in this matter would most likely be an exercise in futility. The wreckage of Freeport 7 may very well be considered a war grave and it may seen a great disrespect to run a business based on ogling its remains.

It is for the above reasons that unfortunately The Guild cannot grant permission for you, or any other group, to maintain a station in the Sigma-17 system and I must politely request your station be evacuated and deconstructed as soon as is practicable.

Cordially,

Keiji Namura

The Freeport 7 is a very important Zoner relic, but we can't deny your sovereignty over the System Sigma-17, as such I politely ask you to reconsider, in enchange we can deny the docking rights to any faction that you list. We can also make H-Fuel the only fuel accepted to enter our base, giving you the monopoly over the base fuel reserves.

Many thanks - Museum Curator: Phil W.

Mr. Namura,
I hardly got any sleep tonight trying to manage this situation, this is what I found on the Neural Net highlighted in red, here is the link to the original source. I am aware that the page is highly incomplete, and that requires attention, managing and updating this information would be one of the roles of F7MM.
This was one long night and I was also, luckily, able to enter in contact with an Arbiter Office in the Wall Street Station.

Here is their advice:

• F7MM has to pay 50.000.000 S.C. to GMG has a fine for the construction without permission.
  
• F7MM will have to transfer a monthly payment of 15.000.000 S.C. to GMG.
  
• F7MM will not tolerate any kind of criminal behavior in the station.
  
• H-Fuel becomes the exclusive fuel of the station, monopolizing the base fuel reserves to GMG.
  
• To not threat the GMG sovereignty over Sigma-17 the GMG decides all docking rights to the base.
  

Would you accept this terms? Or change/add something more.

On behalf of all staff at Freeport 7 Memorial & Museum
Many thanks - Museum Curator: Phil W.

Curator Wright,

Please be assured that the above decision has been thoroughly deliberated on and all aspects considered.

The Guild is an ardent believer in the open market and the opportunity to conduct business ventures freely - in a world without such privileges GMG would surely not exist - however in this instance it is regrettably not practical. As a result, while we empathise greatly with your position, The Guild's verdict remains unchanged and it would be most appreciated if your station be dismantled at your nearest convenience.

Cordially,

Keiji Namura

Mr. Namura,

This decicion sadly us greatly, not only because we will have to abandon our place of mourning to the cold of space once again, but also because we are sure that F7MM would bring people together helping end the Sigmas Conflict faster through the wisdom of respect. A Historic Peace Treaty betewen the GMG and the other belligerents could have been signed on board of our installation...
The Monument Complex is now empty and will be dismantled, wear and tear damage will deal with whatever leftovers, but when the situation in Sigmas becomes more favorable we will enter in contact with you again, Freeport 7 may go into the darkness, but never forgotten.
All we can hope and wish is that after this whole conflict settles and the GMG sovereignty goes undisputed in Sigmas you don't become just one more warmonger, like any Major House in Sirius in this recent years.

Best wishes.

On behalf of all staff at Freeport 7 Memorial & Museum
Many thanks - Museum Curator: Phil W.
