To whom it may concern,
Planetform Incorporated is interested in acquiring transports of the Bison, Mammoth, and Mastodon classes.
Current volumes are yet unknown, and thus we would like to enter a contract for your construction services on an as-needed basis.
We also require the ability to inspect the ship construction process; we do not doubt your abilities, but quality is of the utmost essence given the volatility of many of the cargoes our transports move on a daily basis.
I hope we can come to a mutually beneficial agreement as soon as possible.
Deep Space Engineering is more then happy to allow the use of the Bison, Mammoth, and Mastodon classed vessels. As you mentioned, you will be carrying volatile cargo, we would like to offer you two free cargo bay upgrades to ensure the safety of your pilots. If you wish to have any further vessels equip with this safety measure we are more then happy to offer you a 'bulk buy' discount price of an additional three million Sirius Credits per vessel purchased to cover the cost of the required goods and labour.
I am more then happy to allow yourself, or a select group of employees to oversee the production of the vessels in question, I understand that this is a part of business and you have your companies best interests at heart.
The average time for the production of both the Bison and Mastodon class vessels to specifications is eight days, and an average of four days for the Mammoth class vessel.
As soon as we receive your first order, we will begin the construction of the required ships.
Mrs. Jess Doe
Vice President

Mrs. Doe,
Thankyou for your prompt reply and generous offers, we are very happy to enter a contract with you.
The offer of strengthened cargo bays is the sort of kind thinking that I applaud, and it endears me to think that you have the safety of our crews in mind, where other construction companies bother only with the minimum safety requirements.
Once we have the first order, I'll be sure to contact you, thankyou again.

Good day to you ma'am,
According to the contract we have between our two fine companies, I'd like to place one order for one EL-HiL51 "Mammoth" Liberty Transport. Nothing like a bit of home grown quality ingenuity, if you don't mind my saying so. I'd be much appreciative if it could be outfitted with those additional hazmat measures, too. One final little thing - if its not too much trouble, could it be armed with the local small turrets? I'd like to keep my technology in-house, so to speak.
Regards, James Miller

I have passed this on to the engineers, and this is expected to be ready in approximately 4 days with the additional safety features. I am assuming this will be one of the two complementary upgrades provided by us here at Deep Space Engineering?
I have also noted your request for small Liberty transport turrets, a fine choice I might add. These will be stored on Planet Manhattan until you are ready to collect these weapons.
I will require the call sign you will be giving this ship, to update our records accordingly.

Good day to you ma'am,
For your records, the ship will be the PFS Haphaestus. I'll pick the turrets up and have them fitted as soon as she's ready. As for the internal retrofits, I'll take what you're offering and be grateful, of course. I was under the impression that the hazmat security containment upgrades would cost three million credits, however? I have already submitted an invoice to Canterbury to cover the additional cost, so it shouldn't be a problem, ma'am.

That is true that the additional security features will cost an additional three million credits, I will send an invoice out once a fortnight as required as I am assuming this will be more convenient in regards to payments.

Good day to you ma'am,
We picked up the PFS Hapehaestus from its mooring at Fort Bush earlier today. I believe your engineers moved it out of the shipyard to make room for other projects. We proceeded with a shakedown run to Manhatten, and from there to Houston and finally Cold Bay in Hudson. All systems were operating at green levels of efficiency and output, leaving me and my chief engineer very happy. My XO took a picture out of the aft-centre view port, and asked for it to be attatched, alongside his sentiments of satisfaction. Your payment for the additional security measures will be dispatched with your invoice.
