Konnichiwa.
It has come to my attention since my return to Sirius that Bethlehem station currently lacks any real administrative oversight.

Since my exploration flotilla is currently mostly in drydock since our return to Sirius, I would like to ask for your support in taking the reigns of Bethlehem and reducing tensions with Liberty.

Plus, with a major flight school located in system, we would stand a good chance of recruiting new pilots who would rather our way of life than become beholden to the house corporations.

It has been awhile since someone took the reigns of Bethlehem. Ever since the Liberty government showed its true colors, no one really wanted to deal with it. I wish you luck in your efforts to reason with them. Maybe they will not shut you down cold like they did everyone else.
As far as Med Force Enterprises is concerned, the reigns are yours.

Greetings Kashiwaba Tomoe,

Phoenix has no objection to your plan and wishes you the best of luck navigating Liberty’s notoriously cumbersome bureaucracy.
Let’s hope they stay focused on paperwork this time.
Our convoys do occasionally pass through Pennsylvania, so if there’s ever anything you need, we’ll be sure to drop by and say hello.


With resolve and determination,

Jonathan Cayran, out.

Well now, Tomoe, I can’t say I disagree with your assessment. Bethlehem’s been adrift for too long, and you’re right—it’s about time someone with a spine took the helm. The place deserves better than being a political afterthought.

So, consider me in agreement. If you’re willing to take on the mess, I’ll back your play. I’ve got no illusions about Liberty playing fair, but if anyone can make them sit up and listen without reaching for the torches and pitchforks, it’s probably you. And if we can offer a real alternative to folks who’d rather not be just another cog in Liberty’s machine, all the better.

Doc, good to know MFE won’t be in the way. Jonathan, glad to have Phoenix’s support—reckon this must be the fastest agreement on installing an admin in Zoner history. Here’s hoping Liberty sticks to their paperwork instead of their usual strong-arm tactics.

Let’s get to work.
