Buenos dias caballeros, or Konichiwa like you say.

My name is Juan Felipe de Alba y Espronceda, Field Maestre of the Pontiff Guard
I send you this mensaje to request permision to test some weapons that you manofacture, the SkyBlast B type photon weapon.
I see that is a great weapon who is perfect to our ships, great rate of fire and good damage whit a good energy cost.

I give to you my word of honor that the weapons are going to use only in self defense, the defense of a Zoner base or ship and in combat versus the Nomad threat.

I will wait your answer, with cordiality, Juan Felipe de Alba y Espronceda.

Deux be with you.
