I am formally requesting permission to purchase a used Sabre from a Hacker, who has decided to take an administrative position for the time being. Normally I wouldnt ask the profesorship about this purchase, but this ship is outfitted with 2 Kraken guns, and 1 Kraken turret. He purchased these weapons from our allies, the OUtcasts on one of his visits to them some time ago, and it appears they are already registered in our database. I have put a down payment on this vessel and pending your approval, I will pay the remainder. Get back with me as soon as you can, as I am anxious to take this thing out to the detriment of corporate flunkies all over.
