Message reads:
In my quest to assist in defending our station in Omicron Theta and Omicron 74 I have found my Conference Gunsip lacking. I have put in the request with the Order for purchase of a Hathor gunboat and was informed that I need to seek the approval of the Council of Zoners first. With that in mind I humbly submit a request to be able to purchase a Hathor Gunboat. I await your decision.
Sincerely
Alaric Schulze
Captain of the Zoner Gunship Wachter.
Fortunately, the Council has just voted to approve a proposal by the Order itself to give Council-affiliated Zoners the right to purchase Order-built vessels up to the Hathor, provided that you pay the same amount you paid for the ship to the Order bank.
Because the proposal was put forth by Order leadership, we are fairly certain that they will ratify the treaty shortly, clearing the way for you and your crew.
