I am Sentinel Gestalt, representing the Technocracy of Auxo. As you may be aware, we are constantly working towards the advancement of science, and currently the Technocracy has need of some simple hardware for a physics experiment. While the equipment in question isn't particularly advanced, it does need to be constructed to rather exacting specifications, and given the relative proximity of our respective homes, I thought it might be wise to outsource the manufacture of this device to your company.
What I need is a spiral-shaped "mirror"-like array constructed of atomically-pure aluminium-alloy plates—more precisely, alloy 7065. These plates must be exactly 0.5mm thick, 280cm high, 120cm wide, with ground surface and curvature providing for focus at a distance of 50cm from the operating surface. The plates are to be connected to one another, forming a spiral-shaped surface. The mirror must also rest upon a cylindrical, motorized panel, with the abity to rotate a total weight of approximately 300kg at exactly 0.75 horsepower. Illustrative schematics follow.
The mirror is to be shipped to Freeport 14 in the Inverness system, at which location our own people will take possession of it. Please let me know what kind of timetable you would be able to fulfill this order in, and what sort of price tag we're looking at. I await your response.

Good day,
I'm Daniel J. Lennox, senior management of Bristol C&M, and I'm afraid our company is unable to meet your current request.
We can either make the product you require from 7065 aluminum alloy or we can make the same for you from atomically pure aluminum. We are unable to produce metal alloys atomically pure by nature due to the necessary presence of other elements for their specific chemical and physical properties.
May I assume you were expressing a desire for the finest possible 7065 alloy?
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Daniel J. Lennox,
Bristol C&M.
My apologies for the confusion—materials science is not my specialty. You are correct, I was requesting the finest possible alloy 7065. With that cleared up, what would be the cost for fabrication and transport to Freeport 14?

Good day,
Your desired product is not demanding for our company, mainly due to its relatively compact dimensions, which will not require extraordinary investments in our production capacities. However, due to the thickness of only 0.5mm, I recommend keeping the equipment in a chemically inert anaerobic environment due to possible gradual oxidation.
Your product will be manufactured to the finest 0.005 tolerance, with individual components in hermetically sealed boxes with 99.99% N2 atmosphere. The total amount requested for our services will be 2,500,000 credits (250,000 credits product itself, 1,000,000 credits shipping fee, x2 for anonymity of the entire order).
If you agree, your order will be processed within seven days. You may forward you payment to B|-Businessman.
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Daniel J. Lennox,
Bristol C&M.

Good day,
Your order is almost ready to ship and will be disguised as 50 units of Mining Machinery. Final preparations are being made and B|-Delivery will be departing to Freeport 14 with your goods in approximately 4 hours.
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Daniel J. Lennox,
Bristol C&M.
