Natio Octavarium
Ministry of Relations

Good day,

My name is Daryl Ogden. I have the honor and distinct privilege of serving the people of Natio Octavarium as Minister of Relations. You may be familiar with me already, as I served as our fair nation's Ambassador to the Kingdom of Bretonia. Now, on to the reason for my call.

Our primary defense contractor, Aquila Defense Systems, is currently in the process of restarting a previously stalled project to expand Canberra Star City with a modest shipyard facility. While acquiring the necessary materials isn't a major problem for us, we have a shortage of experienced, qualified zero-g construction and shipyard workers.

Since the destruction of Southampton Shipyard and the inability to send relief crews to Scarborough Station, you've had an overabundance of unemployed workers with the skills we seek. From what my sources tell me, a good number of them have found their way into the Police Authority's custody, idle hands being the devil's workshop and all. We'd be willing to take some of them off your hands.

I'm proposing that you grant pardons to 2,000 low-risk inmates with the experience we're looking for, and who are willing to take the job. One of our ships will pick them up at Newgate and transport them to Canberra, where they will be assigned residential quarters, receive a good-paying job with Aquila, and the option to become citizens of Natio Octavarium should they wish it. Anyone with a family that wishes to bring them may do so.

The Bretonia Police Authority will gain 2,000 empty beds to house more serious offenders, the workers will receive gainful employment and the opportunities a new life on Canberra affords, and Natio Octavarium will benefit from their experience. As far as I can see, everyone involved gains something. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Minister of Relations, Natio Octavarium
