McFarlen,

As you may have already deduced for yourself, it appears that you have run into the anti-tampering devices of the SCRA. Or rather, I suppose anti-curiosity devices are a much more appropriate name. These devices are in place so that people such as yourself do not discover any secrets or confidential information that the SCRA might have.

Now, the fact that the ships you're currently working on are trying to kill you tells me one of two things. One, you stole it. Two, you somehow managed to buy it before it was converted into a less-lethal variant.

For the purposes of diplomatic relations I'll assume it's the second. Normally, the SCRA does not abide by the distribution of its technological secrets. With that being said, it is not unheard of for a small number of craft that were on their way to be scrapped to be stripped of any classified technology and refitted with older technology that is widely used throughout Sirius. This process of course involves the removal of our anti-tampering devices and the deletion of our databanks. For example, if you had tried to access a file on the data banks named "Commissars Gone Wild", the cockpit would have been incinerated by multiple flamethrowers discreetly located around the terminal screen.

When you see a Hessian or a Molly flying an SCRA vessel, it is because they have acquired one of the modified variants. As far as I can tell, your organization is the only one that has managed to get their hands on vessels that still explode.

Now, as to your current problem, I recommend that you immediately stop any work on our ships. I will redirect assets to come and collect them from you. Don't worry, I'll have some of the refitted vessels delivered as well. These won't try to kill you, though I do warn you that the cockpits smell strongly of Vodka.

Trusting that you have not incinerated yourself,
Field Marshal Joseph Garcia
