Temporary Autonomous Zoners to the Order

[Malaclypse 666]

To: Order Admiral Sius Malacos
From: Episkopos Prime Malaclypse, TAZ

Subject: Tire-kicking

Dear Admiral,

I have a proposal. I would like to kick the tires on one of your Zoner-designed Hathor Gunboats.

If flight tests prove promising, I would then propose a small "bulk order" on the vessel.

Let's say, five units, to be used only for Freeport Defense, and the odd "Cabbage Boil".

As an incentive, the TAZ would offer you a premium of 50 Million per vessel, for a total of 250 Million credits.

If you find this proposal of interest, please reply here, or over private channels.

Thank you for your time. May Eris Bless your endeavours.

Mal,
for the TAZ

Now that offer sounds very nice. Frankly I see no objection to this, seeing as you folks have basically designed the ship for us. And thank you for the very generous offer, I'll have Lisbon notified of this immediatly. Vessels should be ready soon.

Sincerely,

Sius Malacos

Malaclypse to Malacos:

Think you for the fast response sir. After our little dustup in Delta today with a few "renegade" BHG, this may prove to be a valuable addition to our "Freeport Response" efforts.

I will inform the [TAZ]Freebird.Gamma of your decision, and that he can pick up our first "test unit" immediately.

Please advise what account you would like the first 50 Million deposited to.

Regards,
Mal

Mal to Cmdr Seith:

We'll take 'em! All five!

Our shakedown crew was very pleased with the unit acquired today, sir. It is now dubbed the [TAZ]Freebird.Gamma (for gunboat.. clever, huh?)

We have forwarded the sum of 250 Million to Order|Bank as requested. I had to dig into two different pockets, but you should find it all in your account.

Expect the [TAZ]Avenging.Angel to be in your neighborhood shortly for the second unit. It may be awhile on the last three, as all the Epopts are currently arm-wrestling for em.

(Oh, and if by chance one of your Guards is in the neighborhood, any chance we could arrange for a few of those lovely missile turrets you gents have? Just a thought..)

Regards,
Malaclypse,
for the TAZ
