[:: Subject: Cruiser Turret Requisition ::]
I am the unit known as the Nemesis. I am the primary unit of a Harvester-built Artificial Intelligence core residing on board the Harvester Cruiser shell, Nemesis. The Nemesis is currently outfitted with ten Cerberus-type Cruiser Turrets and one Light Mortar Antimatter Cannon, but the Cerberus-type turrets have proven to be too slow to defend efficiently against the threat of Slomon K'Hara bioships -- better known to humans as the Nomads.
I am requesting the usage of six (6) Zoner-built Cruiser Turrets for defense of the Nemesis. The vessel's standing with the Zoners is high, and above average with their Guard. In exchange, the Nemesis will provide the service to defend Zoner installations and vessels if requested by the Zoners against Nomad, Wild, and infected ships carrying nomad technology. The terms are negotiable to an extent, of course.
The Nemesis extends its gratitude to the Zoner high command for taking the time to read this transmission.
