Subject: RE:Station Upgrades
Encryption Strength: Zoner Protocol
It is a pleasure to meet you. I would be happy to tell you a bit about us!
We are a fairly recent startup and I am a recent convert to the Zoner way of life. Being raised in Bretonia for most of my adult life, I've come to realize I have a certain disdain for many of the policies that House governments and companies adhere to; too much red tape for research permissions, equipment licenses and what not. Most of the discoveries are far out in the more, if I can be forgiven for using an ancient term here, "wild west" systems anyway.
In regards to Starlight Research Consortium (SLRC), our Modus Operandi is as follows:
Research and Development (R&D) with other facets such as transportation and security orbiting this as support.
We are stationed in Tau-23, as I indicated earlier, due to the fascinating Baxter Anomalies that have flared up in system as a result of the damage caused to the Languedoc Jump Gate during the recent hostilities in system.
Additionally, we perform hyperspace surveys in various systems which we not only use as a source of funding for our research projects, but also as a source of study.
Lastly, we are currently working on plans to begin development of certain systems such as Jump Drives, Cloaks, and other devices meant to be utilized as an additional income stream for our other research projects which are currently either on-going or in the planning stages. This is the reason we reached out to you in this communication, to begin procedures to upgrade our base of operations in Tau-23 to be able to more fully support these upgrades so that we might proceed with these development tasks.
Our hope, with this assistance from you and your people, is we will be able to fully realize the dream of making Ikarus Station (our base in Tau-23) a center fit for not only research but development as well into cutting edge technology in systems meant for both everyday life as well as for ships and vessels of a variety of sizes that can be utilized by those people who purchase them. We aim to lift humanity as a whole into new scientific progress with our discoveries, keeping only the most dangerous revelations secret from those who would seek to use them to harm.
I hope that gives you a bit of an explanation as to our purpose and goals. If you wish to have anything clarified, please do not hesitate to reach out to do so. Also, beyond this assistance into Hydroponics, we hope that in the future we are able to work together on other items as well. We are available to gift assistance in whatever you request as payment for this endeavor unless payment is more desired.
We will await your response!
--Dr. Sailas Montgomery CEO and Lead Researcher, SLRC Ever upwards, towards starlight!
