---TO: BOWEX BOARD---

To whomever it may concern,

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Quantum Neurosis, one the Melds, captain of the Shetland transport Glorious Dawn, and an independent contractor currently working under your name and identification. The reason I have contacted you is a simple one, but first, I would ask that you read the following transmissions between the office of Rheinwehr Admiral Voelkel and myself:


To whomever it may concern,

Allow me to begin by introducing myself. I am Captain Quantum Neurosis of the transport Glorious Dawn. I am also a supporter of Bretonia in their current war and I have been regularly hauling military vehicles into their space for a considerable length of time.

Recently, however, our leader, Quantum Psychosis, was stopped by a certain Polizei Officer Elbe who informed him of this restriction on the movement of such cargo. I find myself quite displeased, to say the least, for this cuts off my most reliable and dependable provider of military vehicles.

Therefore, in order to continue my trade, I would like to apply for a special permit to carry such vehicles from the Planet Nuremburg to the Battleship MacDuff in Tau-31 until such a time as this restriction is lifted.

I will, of course, pay any sort of tariff or registration fee, and I hope this matter can be resolved quickly.

Thank you for your time,
Quantum Neurosis


Miss Kirsch,

Forgive me for being impatient, but it has been over 24 hours since I sent my request, and even such a small period has resulted in enormous losses for both myself and Bretonia. Therefore, I must again humbly request that you examine my petition with all due haste.

I have further information which I, admittedly, should have included in my first message, and for that I apologize. Nevertheless, it should be noted that my current vessel is a Shetland Bretonian train and my identification is that of Border World Exports. Proof of this can be found here.

Once again, I will gladly pay any tariff or other fee that is required. Furthermore, I would like to add that I have begun shipping large quantities of Super Alloy to the Planet Nuremburg in the hopes of bettering relations between myself and the Rheinwehr. As before, I hope this situation can be resolved in a timely manner.

Thank you for your time,
Quantum Neurosis


Sehr geehrter Herr Neurosis,

Bowex as it is has full privileges to transport military vehicles already, but it should be the decision of the corporation's leadership if they allow independent shipping agents contracted by them to conduct such transfers as well.

Therefore, obtain permission from the Bowex leadership first and relay their message to us, then we will grant you free shipping rights, assuming they give you a positive reply.

Hochachtungsvoll,

Anna Kirsch,
Secretary of Admiral Alec Voelkel.


As you can see, in addition to obtaining permission from the Rheinwehr, I must also obtain permission from you, and so I would ask that you consider my application to begin shipping Military Vehicles from the Planet Nuremburg to the Battleship MacDuff posthaste. As before, I will be happy to pay any tariff or registration fees

I realize there may be some concern with my movement through occupied Tau-31 space, but I assure you, I have never once been interdicted by any Kusari forces. Should I ever happen to be stopped, you may count on my discretion in upholding your reputation as a Bretonian corporation.

As before, I hope this matter can be resolved in a timely manner.

Thank you for your time and cooperation,
Quantum Neurosis

Good day,

With all the hubbub over the contemptible actions of the Liberty Navy this past week, I fear my previous transmission was lost amidst the confusion. Therefore, I am re-sending the message and would ask that you examine my request.

Again, thank you for your time,
Quantum Neurosis

To: Quantum Neurosis
Subject: Military Vehicles

Sir, good day to you and i hope you are well.

As you may or may not know Gateway Interstellar, while being a loyal Bretonian company, does not usually transport this cargo as Bowex, being a government controlled company, does most of this. I believe you will have to apply to the BPA for a license to carry this cargo through Bretonia and get BAF permission to fly it to the McDuff in Tau 31 via Edinburgh as the trade lane to there through Leeds is blocked.

I hope this has been of some help as i have noticed a silence from Bowex, not uncommon, to your message.
If i, and Gateway can help in any way please do not hesitate to contact me.

yours aye
Calum McDonald

Mr. McDonald,

Thank you for your reply, I was beginning to wonder whether I was being deliberately ignored. Thank you also for the information, I will shortly be sending out a general broadcast to get the bottom of this ridiculous escapade. Your feedback would be most welcome, should you choose to give it.

Regards,
Quantum Neurosis

Gateway Comm System: OPEN
To: Glorious Dawn, Quantum Neurosis
From: Captain Walter Godwin - The Agincourt
Subject: Licencing

Now normally I tend to agree with our fine C.E.O. on most things as he has been running this company gracefully for years now, however on this matter I must object.

Under Bretonian law, this lad is indeed covered as a Bowex affiliate. His card and registration information verifies that he is a registered Bowex contractor and is therefore covered under the "and Bowex affiliates" clause in the Bretonian licensing charter. Unless I've made a drastic misunderstanding of the laws of the Crown, I believe this matter is indeed giving the run-around to an otherwise honest businessperson.

Walter Godwin, Director of Trade Operations, Gateway Interstellar.
