Greetings fellow Zoners, administrators of the Ames.


Let me introduce myself. My name is Robert Smith and I am the Ambassador of the Universal Shipping Incorporated. Traditionally, as you already know, Universal Shipping employees regularly visit the station as a stopover between the 2 Houses and from what I was told, you have been excellent hosts.

Unfortunately, the last months the pirate activity in both Kepler & Galileo is on rise. Of course this is the result because both the Liberty and the Kusari are involved in their own wars. Furthermore, their war economies subsequently demand more material so the traffic in both systems has been significantly increased after the war between Liberty-Rheinland broke out.

As a result, our Chief Security Officer wants to send some more escorts to Ames who will help in the protection of the Universal Shipping convoys which pass through the system. Therefore, we want to reserve 12 rooms with basic accommodation for some months. I would also be very pleased if you send one or two photos of these rooms.

Are you interested? I am eagerly waiting for your reply.
