CSR request from TAZ

Greetings from the Cambridge Stellar Research!

We would like to request an Aquilon class zoner carrier, as our previous flagship is not able to attend the necessities of our research division.
It has to house the necessary research equipment, and it should have a decent docking bay for several small exploration ships. The only suitable vessel would be a carrier class ship, but you know it's not easy to get one as there is no civilian product. And the most neutral ship would be the zoner carrier, the Aquilon. If we make contact with the house governments they might allow us to take it into their space as the ship won't be used for military missions. We need a base for our operations as our work mostly leads us to places far from any trade lanes or civilian stations. Some of our missions might take us to a lot less hospitable places than Baffin and we need a vessel that can both carry our scientific equipment and harbor our smaller research vessels. If that is possible we would also like to register it as a research vessel in order to clearly mark it's purpose.

We would like to officially request the following:

-An Aquilon - Zoner Carrier
-12 ZT-2 Zoner Battleship Secondary Turret
-2 Basic Battleship turrets
The weapons are for the defense of the ship

I'm awaiting your response.
With respect, Cpt. Roy Khan, Temporary leader of the Cambridge Stellar Research

Kallisti, Cpt. Roy Khan,

Your message has been recieved and has been routed to Ambassador Holliday, however
be aware that the Ambassador is quite busy these days and finds it difficult to
answer all communiques quickly, especially those in regards to tech requests.

If you would prefer a more prompt response, I am available to consider, discuss and make
decisions on behalf of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners.

Regards,

Xavier Triton

Thank you, Xavier

I've been told, to forward the message to Ambassador Holliday, of course if he has important business we can discuss with someone who has the right to make decisions regarding our request. I would be happy if you could speak with Malaclypse, as he was our guide during the research of the Goddess Geode.

Most Graciously, Cpt. Roy Khan

Kallisti Cpt Roy Khan,

As this is a rather large and costly tech request all TAZ seniors will
need to discuss and vote on it's allowance to you and your research team.
This process could take some time and as such we humbly ask for your patience.

I have consulted with Malaclypse personally and he endorses your request.
However a few seniors need to have their say before we can start down the
trail of giving you access to this technology.

I would also like to make this clear here.
We dont generally give out Zoner Capital ships to just anybody.
Us allowing use of a battleship class vessel to a non-zoner is a rare occurence
and as such requires the requester to respect and understand the gravity of
the responsibility in owning one of these ships, especially a non-zoner.

I have a feeling you know this already, but I would be negligent if I didnt bring
it up in this instance.

We'll contact you again when all opinions and votes are in.

Regards,

Xavier Triton
The Trident of Eris, Shasta Orbital Skyhook, Baffin

Dear Xavier,

I can understand this perfectly, and I don't want to rush you by any chance.

Currently we have a job in Pennsylvania system. I hope we can finish this quickly and go back to Shasta station, if you may wish to meet with us personally to discuss important matters. Of course I can answer here as well, if it's needed.

As for the vessel itself, I can only assure you that it will not be used for military missions, the weapons requested are only for defense against pirates and alien vessels.

Thank you for your patience
Cpt.Roy Khan

Kallisti Cpt Roy Khan,

I am pleased to inform you that your request for an Aquilon class capital ship and
the associated weapons has been been granted.

A temporary pass to Pueblo Bunito has been transmitted with this message
to give you docking rights and the means to get a hold of what you need.

If you have anything futher to add please do not hesitate.

Regards,
