Guten Tag To the Administration of Invergordon Shipyard,
I do hope this message finds you well. My crew and I are looking for a place to retrofit an older ship we managed to acquire... through various means. We plan to retrofit this lovely vessel, of course, for "humanitarian efforts". The vessel in question is from the Bustard-class, a civilian carrier.
I can assure you, my dears, this will be more than worthwhile for you.

Mr.Sparrow,
Invergordon's Drydocks are always available for rental, however our capacity is limited as such the costs are fairly high. Seeing as we only have a single drydock that can candle Capital Class vessels the space is at a premium.
I have no issue allowing your group to utilize our stations facilities so long as you agree to abide by Junker Base Laws and Regulations.
You say this contract "will be more than worthwhile for you." care to elaborate? What exactly are you offering?
Hearing from you this fast is such a pleasant way to wake up today, my dears.
Reviewing the Junker Base laws, I see absolutely no issue in abiding by them. I am simply asking... is it a terrible deal breaker in the event we are attacked, and we happen to deal with the enemy before leaving the 10K No Fire Zone? Sometimes these little encounters end quite fast for one side or the other, whether aggressor or defender. It is simply the chaotic nature of these occurrences.
Yet, onto the more important part:
We are specialized in resource acquisition. This means we can get our hands on almost anything your hearts could wish for. It also means that we can pay you either in service contracts or directly in credits, just as you please.
How about you quote us a lovely price for, let us say, the next 14 days of drydock use after payment is received?

Sparrow,
Of course defending yourself within the 10k No Fire Zone is permitted. Combat in self defense is always permitted in subsection 1B :
1B) No craft is under any protection from the Junkers within the NFZ at any time unless expressly stated by Junkers present. While in space, all pilots and captains are under their own protection. The Junkers claim no liability regarding actions taken by non-Junker parties outside their own stations. A pilot forced into the station's shielding is free to contact the port authority with details of the incident for risk assessment purposes.
Take in mind any damage sustained to our installation will be billed to the guilty party.
I like the sounds of that, I'll tell you what we'll handle the money now and maybe in the future we can give you a call if we need a favor how does that sound? The price tag isn't too stiff, 5 Million Credits to the .:j:.Finance.Department and the dry dock is all yours for 2 weeks. If you need an extension it will be an additional 1 Million per week.
I am so very grateful for your clarification on subsection 1B, my dear. It must have simply slipped my eye while reading.
Yet, business first. I have tasked the wiring of the 5 million credits to your specified neural net account.
In the event that we need an extension, we will happily wire you the additional million per week and send a little notice to keep you informed.
We will, of course, update you on a regular basis.
The recent assessment of our ship's status has led us to calculate that we will need the cozy place at your lovely shipyard just a little bit longer.
Therefore, I have sent the credits for the next 5 weeks directly to your account.
In the delightful event that we do not end up needing all this time, please do not worry about a refund. Consider it a token of our fierce gratitude.
