::Subject: Inquiry and Request
Dear Sirs and Madams of the Junker Congress. -We-, the Consortium Overwatch, are once again in need of something from your fine... organization...
Something... big.
Our current military infrastructure in Kusari is currently inadequate for supporting a significantly larger fleet, and while it would be within our capability to begin manufacturing space stations, such fixed infrastructure would present immobile, and critical assets, which could potentially be attacked by belligerent entities. We have been considering manufacturing our own class of mobile factory and shipyard vessel. With all the capabilities of a space station, and the ability to displace itself out of harm's way.
This is where you come in. The development of your 'Barge' class vessel. A ship of this size and layout would fit our needs, abeit with significant modification to suit our own purposes. Therefore, we are announcing consideration for adaptation of your shipclass to our needs.
Before we begin exchanges in materials however, -we- would like to examine one of your existing 'Barge' vessels for analysis and determination of necessary modifications to our own purposes, and are willing to dispatch a diplomatic envoy to whatever location in order to do so.
Please, take this into consideration and reply as soon as you are able. We will need to make arrangements well in advance, should we decide to go ahead with our plans.

I must admit that I'm not all that familiar with your group or your objectives. I might suggest a meeting to have a more formal discussion. If you come to Yanagi, we have engineers who could discuss your needs and see what can be done to help out.

Yanagi is within our domain. We can easily dispatch a vessel to conduct a meeting in person at any time.
We simply require timing for said meeting and individuals present to communicate with.
