Greetings Gentlemen,
In these times of adversity we find ourselves in, it is to our allies and our common peoples that we must both turn.
I am not talking about war, but in reconstruction. Growth, prosperity must be restored to the people. To this aim, I would be interested in forging a trade agreement with your collective groups.
To foster this process, the Coalition Government is interested in purchasing the recycling equipment currently utilized on Zoner stations that extends your food supplies and maximizes efficiency for your populaces.
I know that doing business with the Coalition could be perceived as dangerous, especially in light of the Bretonian factor. Which is why we should agree to use an intermediary shipping company, the IND, to move the goods. We have no desire to provoke the Bretonians against the Zoners any further. But I would like to stress that the technology we are attempting to purchase is non-military and purely to improve the standard of living for our colonists.
We are also experiencing issues with Irradiated soil on JiangXi that is severely hampering our food production, ideas for potential solutions to this problem are, of course, encouraged.
Good Luck,
Premier Alvin Katz

Could you provide a medial report of the conditions found on JiangXi? Extent of soil contamination, water table status, radiological dust storms, other chemical contamination.
I believe I speak for all invited to this comm when I claim that I've little to no knowledge or understanding of what took place on JiangXi, what word I have recieved suggests that the world was once teemed with life.
Such information would prove invaluable in formulating a solution, or referring to expert parties for the same.

Gentlemen, and ladies,
Please consider this information briefing as Classified and Eyes Only.
….COMMENCING
This is information briefing JX-0818-01-29, Doctor Xiaobei recording on behalf of the research team investigating the aftermath of the Phantom Assault on the world.
The main attack began a massive planetary bombardment of JiangXi, eradicating almost every large population center and devastating most of the planetary surface. The area devastated was "95% of the planet's surface". Another account from Colonel Gonzales who led the ground expedition quantifies the devastation by numbering some "70,000 survivors of the Phantom holocaust."
The most notable effect on the JiangXi in the aftermath of the assault was the devastation of its surface and the decimation of its population. The population of the Colony was reduced from six million in 817 to a listed 70,000 survivors in the immediate aftermath of the Phantom orbital bombardment in 818.
After the Phantom assault on Planet JiangXi, the long, arduous task of rebuilding commences.
Much of the world was totally and completely devastated. In the North Eastern Continents the Western coastlines were completely obliterated. With the exceptions of a few island states the North Eastern Continents were reduced to barren wastelands and deserts. And in the South East a similar fate occoured. Of these areas only shattered buildings and quickly overgrowing empty cities stand as mute testaments to the colony that once thrived there.
Only a handful of areas were spared full out devastation and continue to thrive, the vast oceans protected the Santiago de la Omega colony in the South West, and the areas around New Hong Kong in the Southern seas.
The wastelands are areas of land which were subjected to severe bombardment during the Phantom planetary attack. Most of these regions were once major population centers, cities or military installations. Today, they are dead zones.
Geographically, the features of the wastelands with the exception of climate, are the same throughout the world. They are vast expanses of cracked and blistered earth, dust bowls, deserts, or great plains of low grass and shrubs potted with scattered blast craters. Typically, such craters can measure as small as one mile (1.6km), to as large as 20 miles (32.18km) across and a quarter of a mile deep.
Broken slabs of concrete, melted steel and gnarled fingers of twisted and mangled buildings dot some areas of the wastelands. These are the remnants of a lost civilization. The tombstones that mark once sprawling metropolises. It is here that scavengers or mutated survivors can sometimes be found exploring buried basements, subways, parking garages, and other subterranean constructions. Some of the mutants and gangs use the dwellings as temporary settlements or shelters. The larger and more ambitious groups have been known to dig connecting tunnels to the various underground structures. One recently discovered tunnel complex in the Northern containment Sector connected 27 different dwelling areas, and had 15 different escape/access hatches covering a 900ft (270m) area and housing 250 scavengers.
Despite propaganda myths about rapid re-growth, the wastelands are dangerous and barren lands devoid of usable resources and life. The damaged soil and polluted waters can support only the most meager of foliage and fauna. Low levels of radiation permeate these regions. Although not deadly, subjection to prolonged exposure (a few months) without protection can result in a variety of cancers, particularly skin cancer, and sterilization.
“These whikeers-fish survived and developed countermeasures against the deadly radiation levels of the contaminated water in the rivers surrounding the planet's wastelands. we didn't dare to have a splash with them but we fed them big chunks of bread that were guzzled in the blink of an eye !! “.
“400m away from one of the blast craters (max allowed)” “2.0 rt being off-scale of the reader-device. average radiation level of a non contaminated area: 0.010 rt/m2″

HI, I am or was... not sure of that, director of Trades & Supplies department of ZTC. I just would like to say that ZTC is actually reorganizing and should rise soon but until that moment we can't really decide anything like sharing commodities, technologies etc. I note your proposition and hope to conclude something with you soon.

Comrades,
I have been ordered, on behalf of SCRA Marine Command, to answer any questions you may have about the JiangXi wastelands, as well as obtain any samples you may need in the pursuit of your research and planning.
The situation with the irradiated survivors is particularly grim at the moment, radiation poisoning coupled with brain damage have rendered them quite dangerous, as well as the possibility that there could be a Nomad infestation somewhere in one of the zones... it is a quite volatile situation to be frank, sirs.
My men are standing by, and awaiting your instructions.

[font=Comic Sans Ms]My chief interest at present is in draining the refugee camps and transplanting their population to viable settlement space on JiangXi. It's my hope that some of the marginally unaffected island clusters mentioned might serve as a reasonably safe staging point for interim communities and sustenance fishing. We've resources stockpiled but, frankly, the numbers of noncontributing refugees is putting immense pressure on finding a solution. Very quickly.
Could you provide an assessment as to the practicality of such ambitions and the likelihood that they would success without massive radiological protection in the form of subterranean or hardened dwellings?
Are the deep sea fisheries still a viable source of nutrition farming?

Greetings Premier Katz
The information you have provided us with is shocking. I was completely unaware of the hardships your people face. I have my people making inquiry's into any solutions we can offer you to the situation on JiangXi. My company isn't well know for it's research capabilities, though. Despite that we have a possible solution to your food production issues. If there are uncontaminated lakes or oceans available for harvesting fish we have access to alien organisms that can speed up their reproduction and growth. Let us know if your scientist think this will work and we will begin shipping. As for the recyclers you mentioned, we can help you with that too.

Comrades,
The areas around New Hong Kong have been under heavy construction for the past six to eight months in preparation for the refugees arrival. The city is capable and ready to house the refugees, however the support infrastructure is still awaiting development. Fresh Water, it appears, is something we have to airlift in, luckily the proximity of the Siberian ice field means we have an abundance.
As for radiological protection, Mykolaiv is the number one producer of Pharmaceuticals outside of Cryer, and given our... refusal to observe their patents we can produce substantial quantities of generic medications based off of those drugs. One of our factories is currently dedicated to the production of generic radiation medication that will combat the low levels of radiation present near to the Hong Kong and Santiago Colonies.
Radiation in these areas, far from the bombardment zones and protected by large swaths of ocean are the least of the Colonies problems. Ensuring, with the Zoners help, the recycling technology and food supplies are sufficient to the task presents a challenge.
The fish on JiangXi pose their own kind of... unique problem predating the bombardment. Allow me to send you samples...
Fishing on JiangXi isn't for the feint of heart.
As for the matter of the alien organisms, are they safe, what exactly is their purpose, and can they be implemented in sufficient numbers to help protect the JiangXi Oceans?

Kallisti, Alvin,
Some time ago, you and I shook hands in friendship. We earned each others trust and forged peace between our people. When I offer my hand in friendship to someone, it's a commitment, one that I take very seriously. You have helped us out, quite often without request, and it doesn't go unnoticed.
I know only some of the info on the Jiang Xi settlement. I know it's intention was for a place for those torn by war to call home and when I see pictures that I have just seen, well, I can't sit back and do nothing. Not as a human being and not as a physician.
I know what the Bretonian Crown thinks. I think they need to sit down and be silent. They have a refugee colony on our home world and as far as houses go, they receive a good deal of trade. I have often considered forcing the refugees from Port Jackson elsewhere but then I think, "why make them suffer for the insolence of their government?"
To my point. You ask for humanitarian aid. You know that I have no problem giving that. I will personally deliver enough recycling equipment to make this happen. I am having it assembled near my estate so that when it is delivered, it will be ready to run. As I said to start this transmission, Alvin, I shook your hand in friendship. I stand by it.

Greetings Gentlemen,
We have been idle on this front due to the uncertainty of war, war that is now past us. We can again focus on the recycling project. If we could begin to make the appropriate arrangements. We are assembling the workforce ready to build these large scale factories on our planets and to install them on our stations. All that remains is for the IND to commence delivery of the aforementioned devices.
Good Luck,
