Salve,
I think that you know me already, so I'll skip the formal introductions.
I contact your with a request for assistance. As I've already began my own project with addressing my cruiser Amalfi shortcomings, which are common with other Stortas and one of these issues is caused by its unusual distribution of firepower across its hull. To remedy this issue - I've managed to get my hands on two protected blueprint copies of 'W+7754KT', also known as 'Repeater' cannons, which could give my vessel much better all around firepower.
And that's where do you come in. I have the blueprints, but my Clan does not have that many resources to be able to afford their own high end weapon manufacturing facility nor we have direct access to one of them. I have noticed that your organization is interested in high tech equipment - do you have a means for manufacturing it as well? Can I ask you for allocating necessary manpower and manhours for my own needs?
I'm able to cover all the materials needed for these weapons. All what I'm missing are the tools and craftsmen to build them.
Cordiali saluti,
Comandante Fiorella Arianna de Marco,
Guardia Svizzera.

Greetings Señorita de Marco,
Your proposition is indeed an interesting one. We have an engineering division in Corsica that can be temporarily re-tasked to assist you. We will likely need to bring in additional equipment and materials for such a project, and we would ask that you arrange the transportation of those items. Once our engineers have access to the blueprints, they can do a thorough analysis and present an complete list of what we'll need.

Salve, Signore Montalban,
Do tell me what you will need - be it additional parts, materials or machinery, although I prefer paying with credits whenever possible. As a capital ship commander I don't have that many options how to acquire goods and machinery fast. But I've managed to acquire materials for the guns themselves. They are now stored at the Tau 37 Freeport and I can arrange their transport wherever necessary.
The only issue is with the blueprints - they are on protected medium and can't be fully copied from it as is common with these experimental high tech weapons. I can send you only partial copy through NeuroNET and I'll have to bring the full blueprints on the disc personally.
I hope this limited copy will be useful for setting up tools and procedures for your engineers, Signore Montalban. I'll be awaiting your reply with further details.
Cordiali saluti,
Comandante Fiorella Arianna de Marco,
Guardia Svizzera.

Greetings Señorita de Marco,
Our engineers have looked over what you sent, and it looks like we will have everything you need. They can't say for certain without the full blueprints, but we have cleared a space for you to begin work. Our teams on corsica are awaiting your arrival.

Salve, Signore Montalban,
Grazie for your reply and approval. My men will be arriving shorty, along with the blueprint physical media. They have been instructed to not occupy your facility longer than needed. I owe you one.
Cordiali saluti,

Salve, Signore Montalban,
Guns has been finished and your manufacturing facilities are at your disposal again. Grazie ancora. I'll pick them up once Amalfi's repairs are finally finished and my chief engineer can modify existing gun mounts to accommodate these new experimental weapons.
Your engineers and technicians did well. Preliminary facility tests with stationary mount look promising indeed - both 'W+7754KT's are operational within expected performance parameters with only minor deviations. I can share data with your if we will do full field trials with them, if you are interested.
Cordiali saluti,
Comandante Fiorella Arianna de Marco,
