To the Admiralty of the Liberty Navy, Ageira Innovations President,
I have been made aware of an approach by the Government of Bretonia to Ageira regarding all matters related to Jump Gates and Lane infrastructure. Of course this is all very important and must be done, for if civilian life does not return to normal, what have we spent so many lives for?
But I do not come to you for civilian matters, I have a pressing military concern that just override, must bypass politics and business.
The system of Newcastle is cut off from the rest of Bretonia, and this must be remedied, and it must be done so immediately. The reason is clear, there is a rogue Gallic fleet in Newcastle that must be destroyed, and to do that we must regain access to the system.
This is the state of the old gate that once connected Newcastle to Leeds.
It looks in reasonably good order, and we have control of the space around Leeds, it is reasonably safe to begin work to reconnect the gate.
I ask this be done as a priority, this is a military request.
Regards,
Admiral John Redmond

We are civilian corporation that is not bound by military doctrine when it comes to providing services for our clients. If your government wishes to contract us to construct or repair Jump Gates or Trade Lanes, we are awaiting a proper offer that has monetary value attached to it. Projects of this magnitude cannot be pro bono and what your government has offered in return is nothing short of spectacular misjudgment on what Liberty and its corporations have provided to the war.
We are willing to work with Bretonia as our client. We are not willing to be taken for granted or as fools that provide free services on a whim.

I must reiterate, I have absolutely no influence or in-depth knowledge of what is transpiring between your company and the government of Bretonia, and I quite frankly do not care, it is not my job to care about such matters, I am only interesting in pursuing a military campaign.
I am asking you to reconnect Newcastle, because there is an extremely dangerous enemy force in that system that needs to be neutralized, this is a matter of national security, which overrides commercial concerns.
However, I have no doubt that once the immediate military matter at hand is resolved, your corporation will receive adequate compensation from our government.
If you delay the re-connection of the gate to Newcastle, I must file an official formal complaint to your government about the conduct of your company, for putting civilian and military lives on the line because you have not received a contract for the work.
Regards,
Admiral John Redmond

We would like to inquire if the war is officially over and if previous legislation where civilians are not allowed to sue (or in milder case file a complaint) against Armed Forces is now void? If so, we would be counter-complaining or if it comes to that, suing your persona or Armed Forces as a whole for threatening and intimidating our corporation to work without pay while putting our employee lives in danger with "adequate compensation" after "immediate military matter at hand is resolved" which can then be claimed to have never been resolved and all our work would be for free.
We have been bullied enough by Kusari and Rheinland in the past to know how to stand up for ourselves and now apparently even our biggest client, a partner and an ally to Liberty, is attempting to coerce us to do something without contract or pay on a whim. It seems that all cooperation, assistance and sacrifice that Liberty and its corporations provided during this decade means very little to you or your government.
Once again, if your government wishes to set up a proper contract they are welcomed to do so. We have nothing to hide or fear from Liberty Government for informing you, Armed Forces or Bretonia Government that we do not provide free services of such magnitude.

Ageira Innovations President John White,
I will say this is the most plainest way possible.
The Bretonian Government, in the specific, highly militarily vital case of the Newcastle gate re-connection to Leeds, I 100% assure you, will pay youexactly what you request, an amount which is appropriate for similar gate-calibration work conducted in the past. No one is asking you to do anything for free, and your security will be assured by the Norfolk Battlegroup. I suggest you forget any background noise in this case, this job is the exception due its necessity.
If you have so little faith in the ability of the Bretonian government to pay your bills, and require the fee up front, then please send me a quotation and I will process it with the government within a few hours.
I must emphasize the fact that there is a Gallic Enclave Battlegroup in Newcastle, one that could very easily link up with the Battlegroup in California as nothing stands in its way, so this is a security matter vital to both our houses.
Regards,
Admiral John Redmond

Your government is misinforming you or straight out spreading lies. We would prefer to deal with their requests directly and have one line of communications rather than receive message from BAF that we can start working while Bretonia Government to this date has not complied with our requests. Please get your house in order and on the same page.
