It's been a while since last time we were in touch. We try not to bother you with meaningless spam, so as you can guess we want to discuss an important matter.
I've fought countless battles. In many of them I was victoriuos, some left me only scars. After spending so much time battling you start to admire your strenghts and notice your weakness. Weakness which should be removed.
As you know we can build strong and powerful ships, but most of them lacks the agility which sometimes could become very handy in the battlefield. I assume, you Gaians who are used to fight much bigger enemy then yourself exploit this feature very well. So as your ships. Like Claymore...
Si. We are intrested in getting one. We are more than ready to supply you with all materials needed for such ship to be constructed but as well let out engeneers who have long time experience to join you on desinging one. Hope this would help to speed up the process. Or we could invite your engeneers to use our facilities. That would be much easier.
The final call is yours. I hope we will come to an agreement statisfying both sides.
I've just returned from Skye this morning. Have you been there? It's actually a beautiful place, the most desolate place ever, hidden in the asteroid field, melding with the landscape. One can find it perfect for meditation while Carlisle is slowly moving on the orbit. Why am I telling that? It's the place where in the smalle pens, Claymores are constructed literally by hand.
It's not a question of resources or a question of enineers and blueprints sharing; but our facilities are not capable of speeding ships production or turning the schedule upside down to replace the ships that are under repairs, execute the current construction orders and somehow manage to help you with your request. Unforturnately, at the same time we do not consider construction of Claymore or Empire's facilities possible.
Evening, that's Sequoia Hart from Nature's Last Hope again.
What I can suggest to you, mister Alavera is paying Islay a visit. There are a lot of things that can be discussed in a comfortable atmosphere much easier then on cold breeze of neural network. Cretans visit us rather rare nowadays and the young Gaians may be interested in taking a look at the old skilled pilot and getting a lesson or two.
Meanwhile, while being a piece ship, Claymore can be created exclusively. Uh, but I just don't know how to crowd it in. I remember the last time it was made for Gulliveig and turned all the plans arsy-versy... but he worked for it for half a year and... uh, I wondered from the point, sorry. What was I about? I remember - be our guest on Islay, mister Alavera, so we can discuss business and irrelevant things.

Seems you are reasonable after all. So that means, that it's my turn to show the same attitude. But profavor don't call me old. I'm in my twenties, 'Elder' mustn't necessery mean 'Old fart' si?
*Sighs and continues without a smile*
And no, I haven't been at Skye. But you get a bit other views at Crete. For example you see group of kids assualting other youngsters in the wastelands just becouse of an assumption that they posses food supplies. Hows that for a nice view? And yet there is some things you learn in there. For example: the man who wants to do something looks for possibilities, the one who doesn't - for reasons. And now I see that you are of the first kind.
Moi bien, I'll prepare my ship for journey to Islay. At what time I should plan my arrival?
Elder may not meant the 'old fart', but for sure is equal to 'enough work and responsibility to turn grey'. And... uh, I saw enough wastelands for sure, as well as people striking each other because of something simple that turned wrong from the very beginning. People shouldn't starve and shouldn't breath smoke. You're free to call me idealist on this matter.
Choose the time that fits you the best way. Send me the message when you'll be departing for Edinburgh and the station will be ready for your arrival.

Alright, so I'm set sailing right after I finish this messege. Don't know then you will be able to meet me, but I'll wait you at the Islay. Hopefully you have some place to hang around and what to do while you'll be able to meet me in person or in space somewhere around Islay's orbit? Maybe I'll take a closer look to that natural jewl you guard so badly. That actually might be an intresting trip.
*Grabs his sombrero*
See you soon. Oh, by the way, amigo, the most perfect time would be at 20:00 STM. Hope to see you there.
