Hey fellas,

Now it's been bugging me sometime, and I can only imagine the same for you. The jump hole from Texas to Minnesota is just not up to commercial standard. With the ever increasing traffic heading to both Minnesota and the battle front in New Hampshire, the jump holes integrity is put to the limit.

Bottom line is, we need a gate. One of the fine examples we have sprouted up everywhere else. And I want our three companies footing the majority of the bill, and we lobby to get the Government to foot the rest. No Interspace interest in this at all.

Let me know your blokes interest, and questions and qualms. But at least get this ball rolling!

Regards,

John

Good evenin'

First of all I want to apologise for our seriously late reply. Though you may or may not feel the same about the integrity of the jump hole to the Minnesota system, but I must ensure you, many Universal vessels have jumped to Minnesota and haven't had any troubles. Every transport which has jumped to Minnesota has been accounted for. The Battleship Minneapolis has continuous scans of the Jump Hole, ensuring that there are no major changes to the Jump hole. Though the idea of having a Jump Gate is swell, I must inform you that Minnesota is the major line of Military ships, and vessels, the jump hole is not used enough to create a Jump gate. I doubt that Freelancers, and civilians will use the jump gate, therefore making the construction pointless, as well as expensive.

My opinion is outdated

Danielle Mathews,

• Good day to you, a pleasure to hear from an employee of [*USI*]. I do hope all is well and the trade lanes are fair to you.
  
  I wish to denounce to you that this project was canned some time ago, and had you been in the leadership circle that we communicate with you'd have heard about that. Needless to say, your declination of our project simply emphasizes the enormity and the fruitless struggle it would have been to do such a project.
  
  We currently have alternative plans that you may be interested in, however I shall let your company know when we desire your services.
  
  Best of luck, and trade fair
