*Lev puts on his most prim and proper accent"

Good Afternoon sirs,

My name is Lev Shestov, I am a Libertonian born Zoner. I am the owner operator of the Bear's Cave, a cheeky little establishment on Freeport 14 in Yukon. I come to you today with what might be one of the most unusual requests you are likely to hear during your tenure. I would like to purchase 4 Bretonian Battleship Flak cannons. My newest business venture is a mobile vacation paradise, complete with gardens, spas, clubs, and the highlight of the resort, the nightly Fireworks extravaganza. This is where your Flak Cannons come into play. I have made use of Flak Cannons in my extravaganza, and I have found the the propellant mix used in different areas of Sirius result in different colored explosions when used my my fireworks mixtures. The colors are what I seek, and your Flak Cannons would add yet another set of color display to my fireworks. I can give you whatever promises are needed that these weapons will never be used, well, as weapons. For references to my character and the safety of your equipment, you can contact Commodore Cristina Robinson of the Liberty Navy and Episkipo Prime of the Church of Eris, Mal in Baffin.

My thanks in advance for your time and attention.
Lev Shestov

Sir

We have no problem granting this request. In an effort to allay concerns that Bretonia is anti Zoner, we feel that a chance to offer weapons for a peaceful venture will go a long way to showing that we do, in fact, value peaceful Zoners who have chosen to truely follow the path of peace.

However there are considerations.

Firstly, we need your reassurance these weapons will not find themselves in the hands of one of our enemies, nor will they be used against our allies.

Secondly, we are at war, and cannot afford to give away valuable weapons without compensation. The price is 50 Million credits per weapon, or 200 Million total. Please remit payment to BAF|Armoury, and provide evidence of so doing, on this channel.

Thirdly, please confirm BAF officers and pilots have an open invitation to your bar, at all times. We are a thirsty lot, so this cannot reasonably include a demand for free drinks.


Trusting the above is sufficiently clear,

Fleet Admiral James Ralston.

Good Admiral,

Those terms are completely acceptable with one proviso. Bretonian military men are of course welcome at any time, I do not discriminate, the proviso is that I do not allow weapons, all patrons from no matter what background must abide by the same rule. This is the only way to create a safe and relaxing environment for my customers. We do have a specially built vault for weapons storage onboard, so as long as your men are willing to accept this storage arrangement, we have a deal.

Of course if I should find myself no longer in need of the Cannons, I will destroy them. I have no wish to see more weapons out there.

Money will be transferred as soon as I get access to my accounts.

Sir

Perfectly acceptable. We only occasionally kill people while drinking in any case.

I might add, for the purpose of providing entertainment for our men, you are welcome to enter Bretonia in your vessel.

Please be sure you advise the pilots on duty when you do so, however. I can send out memos, but I cannot be sure all the men will read them.

Yours,

Fleet Admiral James Ralston.
