I zank you for contacting ze Rheinland Polizei regarding zis matter. I received your memo a few days ago, but haven't had time to process your inquiry yet. Since you like to attract attention so much, I have already sent a patrol to inspect your installation.

I assume your message concerns ze following stations:


Since you introduced yourself as a Junker, I would like to see some kind of purchase contract or agreement from Kruger Minerals stipulating ze acquisition of ze station. Unfortunately, ozer Junkers have knowingly provided false information in ze past, making zis step necessary.

As you already know, by imperial edict of ze Rheinland Ministry of Economic Development, all modular installation owners have to submit zeir quarterly license renewal to ze Rheinland.Treasury.2 since ze 1st july 828 A.S. My government contact did confirm your last submission to date back only for Q2, which means you have already overdrawn your valid license duration permit by 2 monzs. Zis behavior is unacceptable and it will lead again to a fine according to §7.10..

Before I can furzer process your initial request, please provide ze proof of transfer of:

• 500.000 sc as quarterly fee to Rheinland.Treasury.2
  
• 333.333 sc as overdrawn fine to KPR|Bounty.Board
  

After you submitted ze above mentioned, necessary requirements, I'll send you ze respective questionary.

I took note of your application at Kruger. Since I recently had business wiz Herrn Mecker, ze current CEO, I see no reason at ze moment to doubt ze planned affiliation of ze station. However, I would like to know what happened to Mr. McBoyle and whezer or when ze station was taken over by you. Zey reported about ze interests of ze station about six monzs ago. Do I correctly assume zat you paid him out as ze new administrator?

As already promised, I have attached a prefilled questionnaire for registration to zis message.

You said you wanted to use your "mining, extraction, refinement and recovery and shipbuilding" skills. What exactly can I imagine?

• Due to no precise definition for "mining", I interpret every action zat, using a mining laser, is subject in accordance wiz §3.2.2.; as such, an agreement wiz Daumann Heavy Construction would be required, should you plan such an operation wizin zat system.
  
• Alzough I would razer assign salvaging ALG Waste Disposal, I would have to know in which area you're moving here. If you refer to ze operation at ze Halle Debris Field, I point out zat it is in accordance wiz §3.3.1.. Additional regulations, regarding ze transport of toxic waste, exist in ze empire. However, if you plan to process military salvage, I would like to point out, zat zis, in accordance wiz §3.1.1., is classified as "restricted good" and according to §7.7. a permit for trading would have to be obtained. For a small fee of 250,000 credits, I could try to submit ze corresponding application to ze Rheinland Ministry of Economic Development.
  
• I would also like to know what skills you want to use in ze field of ship building? Are we talking about ze production of components for ships or ze assembling of ze ships zemselves? Regarding ze latter, I would like to make sure, zat our citizens are not be forced to fly around in sloppy cobbled togezer barges. If you have ze corresponding qualifications for zis, I ask for a copy.
  
  Furzermore, I need to know, who ze main supplier of ze station is; would you get goods from ze nearby Mannheim station or would zey come from a different system?
  
  Ze purpose and planed trade agreements of ze station, as stated above, would help me to get your new installation a meaningful name.
  

did I understand you correctly? Have you been ze administration of ze station for over half a year when you first answered my message to ze scrap site? I have to remind you of your obligation as station leader. According to Article 7, §7.1.1. and §7.3., changes in ze administration to be reported as soon as possible at ze corresponding office or hard sanctions can be imposed.

I will make an exception in your case, because you want to officially take over ze base. However, do not expect negligence in such zings. Rheinland is proud of its jurisdiction and zese laws have been created for a good reason to protect ze empire and its citizens.

I zank you for specifying your project in more detail wiz regard to your installation. Ze government carefully makes sure zat new applications serve to ze well-being of ze empire. I would like to give you some information in zis regard:

• Zere is currently no regulation regarding transport, processing, finishing or resale from H-fuel. Rheinland gets its entire supply of ze Mannheim station in ze orbit of Heidelberg. Unfortunately, demand is higher zan procurement. In ze past we were forced to import H-fuel from Kusari and ze Gas Miner Guild. However, zis has decreased since ze last Kusari war and ze misdemeanor of ze Gas Miner Guild are no longer acceptable. Rheinland is not welcome in ze Sigmas, when it comes to ze H-Fuel acquisition. I would be reluctant to conjure up a conflict, however ... our jurisdiction ends at Fulda and ze trade wiz Kusari should not be influenced in accordance wiz Article 5 of ze Second Treaty of Nevers. Ze Rheinland Polizei would zerefore have no reason to patrol in ze Sigmas (unless we receive a distress call from a taxpayer).
  
• I cannot say zat zere is no police facility zat offers silver ore. However, our main outposts are not interested in trade. Rheinland holds an emergency reserve of refined silver, but zis is not ore. If you already have a regular supplier, zis would certainly be worz mentioning in ze application. However, I believe zat it would make more sense to simply import refined silver from ze Omegas.
  
• Instead of doing trade on Kreuzberg wiz questionable people, I would like to offer you a substitution to scrap metal. As stellvertretende Direktorin of ze penal colony Hammersee, I know from a reliable source, zat a new iron ore deposit has recently been discovered. Due to not (yet) understandable reasons, food supplies on ze moon are currently somewhat restricted. Maybe you would consider using iron instead of scrap for your purposes. Hammersee would generously reward any incoming load of food rations and at ze same time offer you iron for a low price. But I have to admit zat zis proposal is not unselfish. I assume, zis may lead to your installation is more capable to produce more basic alloy zan you actually need.
  
• Speaking of capable: due to ze lack of more capable officers in ze Rheinland Polizei, I am also administrations of ze New-Berlin prison. In ze past we had concluded contracts wiz ALG and Koepchen from Stuttgart to supply Spandau wiz ze necessary basic alloy. However, it does not seem to cover our needs at ze moment. Zerefore, my proposal would be to use ze overproduction of basic alloys for ze supply - our rehabitilation programs on ze installation produce a lot of toxic waste, which you could process if ALG does not want it.
  

You may zink "Why zese long pleadings?"
Well, you are going to basically petitioning some bureaucrats of Rheinland, who have less sense of humor zan MND agents. You have to convince and explain zese people why and how your installation serves ze benefit of ze empire. Pointing out of trade agreements, which have established before ze application, could improve ze acceptance.

As for a reasonable installation name, how about Vonbeck's Production Facility?

I have already been notified of your arrival on Hammersee, but have only now found ze time to respond (important police matters, you know). Of course I'm happy zat Hammersee got some extra rations. Zis should raise ze morale of ze inmates somewhat.

Which ship are you actually planning to use to arrive at Spandau Prison? At first I assumed it would have a Kruger|-tag, but I'm not sure if ze Salvager is officially tagged. In any case, we have a lot of waste at ze moment. I would be happy if it finally disappeared.

As for ze next step: you write a small application to ze relevant office (don't forget to attach proof of ze processing fee) and hope for ze best. I have already given you tips on how you can emphasize ze benefits for ze empire. If you zen mention our little chat as a reference, I am confident zat you will get a satisfactory result.

I have attached ze neural net link to ze respective office to zis message.

PS:

Ze processing fee would replace your quarterly license maintenance fee. However, I am currently assuming zat you have already transferred zese in an exemplary manner. In such a case, we will definitely find an appropriate solution.
