Core High Command,
As you are all probably more involved in the situation around diplomatic relations around Freeport 11, I'm sure there's no need to remind you of how the Corsair Empire intends to treat the Ingenuus Research Group. In light of the high possibility of armed conflict, we'd like to make a request. If the Core is willing, I'd like to train a specialist group of Zoners to be crew aboard a specialized vessel. Typically, "Zoner" and "Combat Specialist" are not used in the same sentence, but Zoners at war are also extremely uncommon. Personally, I'm unsure if the title of "Zoner" is fitting anymore with the enemies we have made. If the Core will grant this request to take on and train a crew, including myself, on more proficient use of capital vessel systems, this would further solidify our Group's faith in the peace Core has chosen to extend. I have been accused of warmongering in the past, but blatant disregard of our sovereignty followed by sanctions and demands is no way to maintain peace. No party in the Edge Worlds has a clean record; the actions taken going forward are all that matter as we strive for prosperity and peace. I don't expect that the Order or Corsair Empire will see the Ingenuus Research Group on neutral terms at any point in the near future. Thus we must make necessary preparations.

Safe travels,
Dr. James Erzie
Director; Acting CEO
Ingenuus Research Group
