Greetings Mr Holiday. I hope this message finds you and yours well.
Due to recent events, I have come to notice that the Zoners in general are becoming more zealous of their ships and equipment, effectively restricting the sale of certain items. This has raised a certain problem. A good while back, before these new market restrictions were put in place, I acquired a set of Zoner Gunboat Turrets for my Salvage Frigate. These hardy pieces of equipment have served me and the Instinct well for as long as I can remember, fending off those unwise enough to attack me.
What I am seeking is a permit to continue using these turrets. It would be unthinkable of me to ever attack a Zoner, so I believe they would not fall into the wrong hands. If there is anything that we could arrange as compensation, please let me know. I currently own a company that deals in scrap, shipbuilding materials and the like, so I may be of use to you fine folk.

Greetings, Congressman,
I'm afraid, Sir, I don't remember you if we had previous dealings but it does sound as if you are well intentioned. Of late, I have found the Junker Congress to be good business partners and I know, for the most part, Junkers aren't hunters.
If you would, please tell me how many of these turrets do you seek? I can then bring this up with my Zoner Alliance colleagues. I know it may be a bit of an annoyance but I would feel better if all of my colleagues approved as well.
And I'm assuming you are running a scrap company, which is fine. If there is anything else about it that may help to know, please fill me in.
I thank you for your interest and eagerly await your reply.

Thank you for your speedy reply.
I am currently using 4 of your Zoner Gunboat Turrets on my ship. I do not tend to acquire any more of these, at least, not for now.
My company, Beast's S&R, is as you said and putting it simply, a scrapping company. We are based off of Invergordon and conduct our salvaging operations in both Liberty and Bretonia. Right now, most of what we produce is sold directly to Invergordons markets. The rise in the orders of Pilgrims has resulted in a rise in the need of scrap and other materials, an opportunity we spotted and exploited right away. More information can be found here. I am sure that we could work something out that could benefit both us and yourselves.
About the delay, it is no bother at all. I would not want this to be rushed through. That usually results in nothing but troubles in the long run.

If you aren't looking for any more turrets for now then we should be all set. I will, however, forward this information to the Zoner Alliance. I don't foresee an issue but I want the approval of my colleagues as well.
Also, do you fellas need anything out there in Iverness. I don't think I've been through it but once. Let me know.

Thank you. I certainly would not enjoy having to go back to those puny open market peashooters.
The markets here in Invergordon are usually well supplied, but we have been needing some Robotic Components to modernize the Pilgrim refurbishing business. A lot of the work is still done manually. the quality of the craft is miles better but even then there are some dangerous situations that could be avoided. We also set up a small water extraction operation in the Alvermore field so we could always use some more Mining Machinery. Other than that, I heard we are in need of Gold, not exactly sure why... Oh, and Deuterium. You wouldn't believe the amount of fuel these things eat up.
If you ever pay us a visit, feel free to come by my bar, the Purple Mist. I doubt any of you ever had a fine Invergordon liquor. *laughs*
