My name is Commander Lincoln Phoenix. I represent my benefactor Mr.Universe involving a project that we require your expertise on. We are currently constructing a vessel that will be capable of traveling far beyond our known sector of space. To that end the vessel we are building to do this must be able to overcome all the obstacles that it may come across.
As of right now our journey will start near the farthest coordinates in the Theta system and the closest shipyard to this is Livadia Shipyard. To this end our hope is that we may use the shipyard and some of its supplies to build said vessel. We are willing to pay handsomely should you allow us to proceed. We hope to hear your reply soon so that we may start working on this project.
Commander Phoenix
I will admit the fact you represent someone called "Mr Universe" amuses me it also is quite intriguing.
You are right to say that this sort of thing is my expertise, Livadia has been building the Nephiim Colony Ship to fill such a role for quite some time. Though i expect that what your after will require a bit more engineering.
So what i will need from you before we can move forward is what sort of size ship are we talking about?
Are you capable of providing the additional resources required for such a project.
And most importantly, who does this Mr Universe represent? i need to know who im working with in order to ensure the delicate reputation and relationships the Shipyard has with its various Neighbours.
Once i have this information we can begin to discuss specifics.

To put all misgivings aside Mr.Universe and I are both aligned with the zoners way of life. As of now I am coordinating with several groups to put together this vessel for this colossal project. Since time is short for us to launch our mission all assets and materials will be moved post haste if you approve this request.
The ship we are constructing is currently of similar to the Feanturi research class vessel but of a slightly smaller design to make it more efficient for the long space voyage ahead. Should you desire the spec's I can provide them for you. We are also capable of providing the required supplies, materials, and equipment needed for our task. We are also willing to pay a generous fee for use of your shipyard.
Although this message may be brief I hope it fills in any information that you desired so that we can talk specifics.
Commander Phoenix
The Specifications would be good to have, if only so my engineers can have a look to ensure we have the capabilities to build such a ship. I have no doubt we can as we have some of the best ship building Minds in Sirius aboard my shipyard. The Feanturi is smaller then the Nephilim so we certainly have the space to build your ship.
I will ask that any materials from "other groups" are moved by yourselves or by a neutral party. I cannot be having a number of different factions all turning up at my door you understand.
In regards to price i need to know what parts your providing and which parts we will be providing, and also what time frame this build will need.
Regards Jerard Voncloud
In regards to supplies. If you wish for me to have the other supplies that would be doable, although the vast majority of the individual groups will be zoners. Should you wish I can provide a list of the groups assisting in the construction. I do have a compromise for restricting deliveries. Should you wish we could have all non-zoners be restricted from docking on the station. This would allow me to attempt to keep the construction on schedule as well as keeping within your requirements. Here is a list of materials my engineers have calculated will be needed to construct the vessel.
If possible I would be willing to pay for the fee of being able to use your facilities as well as any supplies you have available on this list which you would allow us to purchase and use. As to the time frame, Mr.Universe has requested from the beginning of the construction to its finish it be completed within 4 weeks time. Should this not be possible I have been granted an extension of 2 additional weeks.
Commander Phoenix
Apologies for my late Reply.
The situation in Omega 49 has taken alot of my time and my presence on the surface has been required.
Restricted those who can dock wont be necessary a list of who' you intend to do the delivery's will suffice i will handle docking once i know who to expect. The items you have put alot of those will need to be brought in by yourselves. We can supply The standard hull panals and the DT fuel but the rest are items we have imported for each build, We dont have the facilities to store excess materials at this time.
Looking at the design and resources id say this build was similar to building an Aquilion. Since its a unique project and the time frame required id say the price is between the 400 - 430 Million Credits mark.
I completely understand Administrator, seems the area of Omega-49 is quite heated these days so I appreciate you finding the time to work with me on this matter. In regards to the current clients we are working with for equipment, they are as follows:
Ingenuus Research Group
Professor Nerva Regis
{Abh} Research Group
AP Manufacturing
Dr. John Henry "Doc" Holliday
(TBD)
About the supplies needing to be delivered, I will probably contact Omicron Supply Industries, or Omega Trading Zoners. Since I am on a time crunch I may need one of these 2 groups to help speed things along for me. Finally the matter of payment. What do you feel is the final total for this project? Would you like full upfront payment or a down payment and then final payment on completion, and where do these funds get sent?
Once I get your response I will promptly greet your staff at the shipyard and start organizing construction crews and establishing procedures for the project. If you think I am missing anything else please let me know. In the mean time I look forward to your reply.
Commander Phoenix
Everything looks in order, most of those you have listed we are on good terms with and OSI or OTZ are also fine to use.
A payment in full will be best, i dont wish to end up in a situation where i release the ship and still waiting payment or refusing to release the ship without it. So a full payment upfront will ensure the moment we have the materials we will begin the build.
What i suggest is that delivery's are either reported here or a separate communication is made. Once all delivery's are made it shouldnt be long after that the ship is finished.
If you can send 430 million to Voncloud will cover everything.
Regards Jerard Voncloud
I was already docked at Corinth Research Station so the trip over to the shipyard was rather prompt. I hope you don't mind but I have already had the engineering and construction crews undock and begin coordination efforts. Should you need me I will be in the observation lounge overseeing everything. Your security staff and docking crews have already greeted us and allowed us to begin our work. You may see me occasionally running around but don't worry. With the time restraint we have I don't have much time for lollygagging.
I will appraise you of each new finalized shipment supply we receive. Should you need me just give me a buzz over the comm.
