Subject: Bulwark-class vessel aquisition

Greetings Bristol Shipwrights,

Allow me an introduction. I am Thomas Gage, Proprietor and Administrator of the mobile Interspace stock exchange, bank, and bazaar United Bank of Liberty.

I come to you to inquire about purchasing the commissioning of one (1) Bulwark-class vessel for our escort and trading fleet. As an alternative, I would also be happy to purchase a vessel that is already constructed, provided Interspace can acquire naming and license rights. We can outfit the vessels various accoutrements and weapons systems ourselves using our crew at Newark.

I have seen these vessels toiling the lanes for some time and have been building a foundation of reasons why we'd add one to our fleet, to present to my superiors. They have finally relented and have freed my hand in the acquisition of the vessel, naturally after a lengthy slideshow presenting the cost, crew salary, overall overhead, and so on. We have all come to the same conclusion that such a vessel would allow us to cut down on escort payments by a whopping 75% as the vessel has proven to be quite the fighting force, both from secondhand accounts, as well as first hand accounts from visiting captains of the vessels of various stripes and their tales of victorious encounters with pirates.

Let me know your cost of acquiring one of the vessels for Interspace and I shall send it upward for approval. Or, if you'd like, Interspace would be glad to add your shipyard to our shipper's rounds. We can supply quite a variety of the required componentry if you so require.

Sincerely,

Thomas Gage, Proprietor and Administrator of the First National United Bank of Liberty

Good Afternoon Mr Gage,

We at Akutan Production Facility are happy to hear that our product has met with approval from even the technically-minded statisticians among Liberty; she’s already proven herself from the Omicrons to Rheinland, among independent Zoners and Rheinwehr alike, but your own evaluations are more than welcome to be added to the roster of those who call the Bulwark class their ship.

Currently, Bristol does have one Bulwark class Heavy Explorer available for sale at Akutan for the price of 15.000.000 cr. I should caution somewhat that the ship’s proprietary systems from both Bristol and Kress make for a more daunting challenge to most organizations’ technical experts should issues arise. As such, Bristol does recommend hosting prospective crews for a training course aboard Bristol Bay Station to ensure that all preventative maintenance is conducted in an effective manner with Bulwark associated systems, at no additional cost to the prospective buyer.

Should this be acceptable, please send the funds to account Akutan. Once I’ve confirmed the receipt, the vessel will be made ready for ownership transfer.

V/R

Re: Bulwark-class vessel aquisition

Ah, I appreciate the rapid response.

It is serendipitous that a Bulwark is already completed and in stock. Marvelous.

Should we ever need after-sale support, maintenance or what-have-you we will certainly employ the usage of Akutan's drydocks for the vessel - though I fully expect everything will be ship-shape and bristol-fashion. *laughs*

The payment has been sent to the listed account and should be registered to the neural-net momentarily, see the below attachment. I will send someone to pick up the vessel when the payment has cleared and you have done the paperwork for the transfer of the ship's title on your end.

May your future ventures be profitable, Sincerely,

Thomas Gage, Proprietor and Administrator of the First National United Bank of Liberty
