Salutations!

Minister Anders, I apologize that it took this long to respond as I was busy making the final arrangements to the manifest to the expedition crew, let's just say when I took a visit to the department there was quite the group clamoring to be included in this exciting project, it took me quite some time to calm them down and assign them projects to keep them busy while I finished the manifest.

The Lithuania's route should not be discussed, we will require the use of S.K.Y.P.E. Secured Transmission, General Warner is unfortunately over-vigilant concerning security, mostly from his time from Premier Katz's time and the numerous assassination attempts made on the life of himself and the Premier by Counter-Revolutionary forces.

The Volgograd Industrial Engineering Corps appreciates the chance to examine even a non-functional Docking Ring and even now is attempting to create soft-ware for installation in our own Docking Ring, scans of the structure itself will provide us valuable data on a suitable size, orbital position and the mechanics of the facility. As for Celestra Shuttles, I will bring this up with the Revolutionary Army and we will determine if our shuttles require replacing at this point in time and should we find them insufficient you can be sure that we will be giving Sabah Shipyards a call to negotiate the procurement of several shuttles.

On another note, Doctor Wayland will be bringing samples of JiangXi plant-life to compare with the plant-life of Yuma to determine the growth-rate in comparison with the mutated fauna and flora (which experienced an increase in size in the sub-sequent generations after the infamous strato-bombing as well as an increase in growth rate.). She has sent a query if Sabah Shipyard has a Quarantine Lab to conduct studies alongside your own Botanists, I apologize however she has been pestering my office nearly non-stop with questions.

And finally, we shall be sure to bring a months supply of Coalition Vodka for your pilots to enjoy, be sure to warn them that Coalition Vodka has a strong kick for the unprepared. I don't speak for the crew of the Lithuania, but I'm obligated to pass along a challenge from our engineers that they can and I quote 'Drink your fighter jocks underneath the table any day at any time.'.

We shall contact you via S.K.Y.P.E. with the Lithuania's route and time.

Chairman Rykov

United in Friendship and Trade!
