Greetings, and please pardon my intrusion.
Reginald Waverly here.
I met the aforementioned vessel this day near California Minor. Seemed nice enough. However, until he is fully vetted as being approved and/or hired by you for the defense of California, I would recommend he keep his sniffer out of my cargo hold. Appreciate it.
I would also like to make a small request. In the event of a successful Helghast attack on California Minor (perish the thought), we would like permission to conduct a small experiment of a "defensive" nature. This would involve the release of organisms into the atmosphere as well, but ones which we hope will counteract this mutating viris, or spore, or psychoagent, or bad smell, whatever it is.
If you wish, I have several hundred of the organisms aboard my vessel at California Minor under stasis and seal for your inspection. They are harmless to humans, I assure you.
Please advise,

P.S. Could you also advise if your organization has jurisdiction over the small moonlet Bora Bora in the Humboldt system? Just curious.
