I wonder if you are up to, let's say, a long term contract.
I noticed that the pay offered by your board is a bit underlevel. Even so, I and some of my mates have been working for you for free. The reason for that is, that we can understand you are in a tough situation; most of us are.
So here are the terms I propose: we would like access to some of your toys, and, from now on, we won't require any payments from you for our work.
The "toys" I had in mind were the "Arbeiter" fighter, the "Protector" and "Destroyer" guns. The exact quantity would be defined if you like the general idea.
