CC: Jon Richardson Callsign: Samana_Andorra, IMG Eagle Hello, Jon here. I'm requesting one Manta. This is because my Eagle isn't even good against swarms of Outcasts. However the Manta is slim, meaning I can dodge those Krakens and Wyrms... Therefore this is a simple message, requesting a ship. I hope it'll be used against threats of the IMG.

Mr. Richardson -
If you are a member of IMG, you already have access to a certain number of ship licenses which have been granted to that organization. I suggest you route your request through your internal chain of command.
If you are not a member of IMG, and merely an independent pilot, then I suggest and recommend that you find a suitable replacement ship other than one constructed by AP Manufacturing. Our business model has changed due to circumstances beyond our control and we only sell ship licenses on a wholesale level now, to corporate or military clients, and not on the retail or individual level.
(As a quick and personal aside, you state that you will use this vessel against threats 'of' the IMG, instead of threats 'TO' the IMG. That phrasing indicates that you consider the IMG to be a threat to you. Something to keep in mind in future dealings with ship chandlers and others - proper phrasing might keep you from physical altercations in adult drinking establishments.)
Thank you for your consideration of an AP Manufacturing vessel.

CC: Jon Richardson Callsign: Samana_Andorra, IMG Eagle First, my Eagle is equipped with an IMG ID. I mean no harm to the BHG and the IMG. You can see me proof having IMG ID and IFF.
Was surprised to catch a copy of this transmission, but I guess it was Jon here wanting a wing leader to back him up or the like?
The Guild paramilitary only has them few Mantas APM have made for us, either with our pilots or stored out the way on my old Dounby, so can't exactly spare one for just an escort pilot. I can vouch for that callsign having fought alongside us against the Maltese if it means anything, but I'm sure you've already got a system in place for these requests, aye?
We'll keep doing our thing, and thank you for what you've done to help already. I guess Jon'll still be around in one ship or another unless the sniffers have their way with him or myself.

I presumed that I was clear in my commentary earlier. We've already made arrangements with the IMG that your Guild has access to a certain number of ship licenses. How you hand them out to your pilots is up to you, of course. If Mr. Richardson is with your guild and if you wish for Mr. Richardson to have one of the Manta's that we've allocated to your Guild, then he needs to ask YOU for the ship - not us.
Simply because of the demand upon our ship production lines, right now we don't hand out individual ships to ... well, anyone. We have contracts with groups such as the IMG right now, there are of course other groups out there that utilize our ship line, and due to the increase in hostile conflict between actual governmental entities, their subsidiary organizations have been stretched and thus we find ourselves assisting them in greater numbers, requiring more of our production capacity simply for our own use.
And then there's the Core usage to consider as well.
We are, of course, willing to entertain discussions should the IMG desire additional licensure as a group. But quite frankly, our customer service department will decline any individual request that doesn't follow proper channels and procedure.

Aye, that's no bother. I'll need to fill out the paperwork for that new order that never was completed, which should give us all the additional ships that we need and not a lot more to give out. Jon can easily make do without, I think.
Good day to you, lass.
Jon
Like APM said to you, the only permissions and ships have been given to the main paramilitary. Unfortunately we've only got a few ships for our pilots and won't be able to spare one. If that Eagle's not doing it for you, take a look at the heavier fighters on the market, or maybe talk to the Colonials about getting a Nyx made.
CC: Jon Richardson Callsign: Samana_Andorra, IMG Eagle Alright Eric, I changed the subject title, that I need to contact you according to Alyssa. I'm here to rectify, that I made a mistake concerning the ship. I have to hereby ask you your stock for one Manta, if that would be available for the agreement. I maybe have to pay credits first, if I am impressed of the agility of your stock's Manta. This ship has the restriction that it could only be used for defending IMG assets, self-defense and the elimination of the Corsairs and the Outcasts. What would you think? If you decline this agreement, I would wait for some time that more Manta ships are allocated into the paramilitary.
I almost forgot a secondary paramilitary member of the IMG that's flying a Manta, callsign my.name.is.lou
Eric, did he asked permission?
P.S: Do I need permission from the Colonials to buy a Nyx? I need more clarification on my neural net.
