First of all, let me introduce myself, my name as Christian Burton, I represent the Zoner group known as Phoenix.
It's quite unusual for us to contact great house corporations, but due to the importance of the question I’m looking into most experienced engineers in construction of installations. While the Zoners most of the time construct bases of the Frontier class, this time we need something different and we are not so experienced with.
I’m talking about Kadesh Orbital Colony, located in Omicron Zeta. Due to heavy traffic and increased population which grows everyday, mostly what had been caused by Gran Canaria annexation and current doubtful status, we are looking for construction of new installation Zeus class in orbit of planet Palmyra. The current modular base would provide a perfect spot for the scaffolding also can serve as storage, if it would be necessary.
Please share your thoughts. Need to mention that Kadesh Orbital Colony is covered up by the Phoenix corefleet, so I can ensure the safety of the operations, though your transport ships are not a rare sight in the Omicrons, so I believe you understand how things work here.

Greetings,
my name is Ian Gunn current CEO of Daumann Heavy Constructions. I've talked to my other directors and we've come to the conclusion that we're able to help you in this matter. However, the Omicrons are a dangerous territory from what I know Mr. Burton but we managed to maintain an operation base in Omicron Delta for a few years now. This could be a good experience for both of our organizations and make the first step towards a good business relation. I am looking forward to your answer Mr. Burton.
It's good to hear a word from the Daumann Heavy Construction, mr. Ian Gunn. I'll jump right onto the matter. Like I've said previously, our group is interested in construction of the Zeus class station and maintenance for an uncertain period of time, until our engineers would be teached in its mechanics, blueprints and other necessary documentation. Due to its original shape, our Construction and Development department decry a great potential for our people and corefleet in this design due to the amount of mooring points. Our specialists have brought me a rough blueprint of said station, which was made by an outer scan.
I’ll request our Trade and Construction departments to calculate estimates of required commodities and equipment, though if it's already known to you - please share it with us, it will make a great help. We still have to calculate and adopt our initial budget on the project and required amount of the storage space on the modular installation. Also, like according to our blueprint, currently we do not require something customized onboard of the colony. Phoenix is interested in bringing installation operational as soon as possible - so only docking systems, life support systems and reactors are required. Other decks could remain empty - we have further plans on expanding the Kadesh which would be a next stage.
Our Trade department made estimate costs of the shipments. Please. tell me hown do you find those prices is acceptable. I have to mention once again that Kadesh Orbital Colony is located in Omicron Zeta, in orbit of planet Palmyra. I'm attaching estimate table within transmission:

Please tell us how you find following prices acceptable. On the side note. when you will able to send your specialists with all required information of Zeus installation type? We have onboard of the Kadesh engineer team prepared for their visit. so Intel exchange can be started before the works start. that should be save up the time.

Mr. Burton,
your project indeed looks very interesting and promising. Our office of engineering will collect a team of experts and begin their journey to your location. However, let's talk about business, we will transport the following materials for you: Basic Alloy, Robotics, Lasers, Engine Components and Industrial Hardware. This should leave enough room for our friends from Gallia. The payment looks sufficient for us and the pilots will receive a bonus paid by the company to create a little competition among the transport captains. I guess all evidence about the delivery can be posted on this channel? Oh and if there is something else you want to get done along the way, please let me know Mr. Burton.

We would like to refer you to Ile-De-France Shipping, which is a more suitable service for what you seek.
In fact, we will loop them into this communication.
That’s great news. Let's start with those commodities you’ve listed, per completion you can switch to other materials, if those wouldn’t already be shipped by our transporters or other Gallic corporations. To keep shipments organized and tracked, please use the following broadcast to list shipments made by your vessels.
Mr. Carbonneau,
It's unfortunate that your corporation did not find interest in construction of the colony. Those shipments are supposed to be the first stage of construction. Per receiving most of the materials our specialists altogether with Daumann Heavy Construction will deploy scaffolds and begin construction. Excuse me my fallacy that you could ship required commodities as well.
Of course, we would be happy to do the business with Ile-De-France Shipping, if they would be interested in the contract.
In fact, if you would change your mind we still welcome your trade convoys in following broadcast.
I believe we haven't met, I am Fernand Dimont - Directeur Général of Ile De France shipping. Although it doesn't surprise me that whenever a certain entity requires materials to be shipped, they contact IDF. What's surprising to me is the origin of which this transmission. Omicrons are quite far away from Gallia, yet we're never afraid to... stretch our legs sort to say.
Monsieur Burton, I've received your list of materials and my... the list just never ends. Considering the state Gallia is in right this moment, with its borders almost shut, IDF will do all that is in its power to send over as many materials as it possibly can. Having said that, it will, sadly take a bit of time.
Before we continue Monsieur Burton I must say that Omicrons, to us, are quite unfamiliar hence why it would be best if you could suggest the best route from Omicron Theta to your system. Information about radiation intensity would also come in handy. Would there be any more obstacles on the way, if so, which? The safety of my employees is of utmost importance to me, I'm sure you can relate.
Last but not least, we're glad that you've chosen Daumann to be a part of this project. I personally met Monsieur Gunn not so long ago, brilliant young man. With Daumann focusing on Basic Alloy, Robotics, Lasers, Engine Components and Industrial Hardware, Ille De France Shipping will be focused on Holmium, Nanotubes and Magnet shipments. Given the fact that price you provided is somewhat satisfactory, we'll begin our shipments and soon as you provide me with necessary information mentioned above.
It's a pleasure to hear a word from Ile De France shipping, mr Dimont.
Indeed, the list of required commodities astonished me, but that’s what our engineers have calculated to build up station of such size. Though I've already heard from the Building department that it's approximately the amount of commodities for station skeleton construction, probably we will require even more during next stages of station extension. We’re expecting to build up a whole Star City among the wildlands, so you could expect continous partnership on the following project.
Nevertheless, back to your concerns. We’ve deployed several patrols along the path from Omicron Theta to Omicron Zeta to ensure additional safety for transportation. So I would strongly suggest following the path - Omicron Theta - Omicron Kappa - Omicron Delta - Omicron Zeta, the details about jumpholes location and other necessary information would be attached within this transmission. You will also have marked Livadia Shipyard and Freeport 11 along this path, in case of any accidents would be in place. The only keen problem can be the Corsairs and the Nomads. While with first its always simple to deal with a little donation, the second one poses a great threat, so I would suggest to avoid any contact with them. Of course, any damage that would occur in the Omicrons we would like to refund it to minimize your risks.
