The LFR has need of your services.

And with Ontario recently being "secured" from the clutches of House Liberty, it seems like the opportune time to get down to some serious work.

Are you interested?

Greetings.

It's a pleasure to hear from you again, Commander. All of Bristol congratulates you and your people on the recent success in Ontario. As you know, we're always where there's business to be made. What kind of services can we offer to you?

Eager to hear from you.

Two shorter term projects and one long-term project.

One, we've inherited a Judicator-class cruiser that hasn't seen a friendly dockyard in years and is in deplorable condition. It can fly but that's all it can do. The power distribution arrays, batteries, and even cruise engines are currently compromised

Two, a siege cruiser we've been due to field and have nearly renovated to combat condition is still short of some necessary parts that my technicians feel will dramatically reduce effectiveness in the field. Namely the complex power supply and thermal vents required to operate the forward armament.

Three, and this is the long term project, our flagship vessel required a full retrofit and modernization to complete with the other venerable dreadnoughts of the line. Her armament has been found wanting and other defensive sub-systems near inert in terms of effectiveness by today's day and age.

This is a lot of work, and you'll be duly compensated for all of it. But what I need from you is an assurance of absolute secrecy if you do accept the scope of work I've detailed.

Can you guarantee this?

Good day.

I can personally assure you of absolute secrecy in regards to your projects.

However, before I can bring this up to our suits I will need more detailed information. What kind of repairs need to be done specifically, where you intend to have them done and whether you merely need the materials for those repairs to be delivered, or if you require a set of our technicians and mechanics for each of those projects as well.

A man of your caliber surely is no stranger to good dealmaking, which is why we need specifics on what is to be expected under 'duly compensated'. Once these questions have been sorted out and we've found agreeable terms for the job, we'll start dispatching our crews immediately.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I think it would be simpler if you saw the ships yourself.

An on-site visit can be arranged for this purpose, bring whatever experts you require, I will arrange transportation.

Good afternoon,

My name is Esme Blake, Chief of Operations for Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing. Due to the potential…importance of this arrangement, I’ll be continuing these talks on Bristol’s behalf.

Your offer is interesting, both to the other members of the Board and especially to myself. Call it a sense of curiosity. We don’t get ideas like this often, I think, especially for such a uniquely situated group like yours. Thrown off the Libertonian yoke and now you’re in that same world as the Provisionals…it’s a tough situation. It’s a tough situation for more reasons than you’d think.

But I’ll see what exactly there is Bristol can do for Ontario. You’re lucky the Bristol Board is as opaque as it is, all things considered.

Send me the necessary details. Let’s talk face to face.

V/R
BLAKE, ESME
CHIEF OF OPERATIONS, BRISTOL CONSTRUCTIONS & MANUFACTURING

One of our freighters will pick you up.

Just give me a location for it to fetch you from and it'll be underway within an hour from your response. It's one of the fastest ships we have too so your trip over to the site won't take long.

Once you've appraised the volume of work to be done we can talk terms.
