Good day mister Brown.
I was authorized to inform you about the decision the Independent Miners Guild administration made
regarding the weapons request deal.

The proposals were brought before the guild masters and discussed by them. Unfortunately it was decided
against both of them, which means I will have to pay the premium.

The Independent Miners Guild cannot give out their weapons to a military force that easily on grounds that
those weapons might be used against another house in case of war. This might harm our relations with
them. Especially taking a look at the current war against Rheinland, we prefer to keep a neutral stance
towards this.
Restricted approvals might be given out on a case-by-case basis, but I cannot promise that.

As already stated, we are in heavy fights against the Outcasts in the Taus lately and we also have to keep
our other mining grounds safe, therefore we cannot dispatch a larger defence wing to Freeport 4. The
Perihelion should watch over that base, but primary protection can only be granted in a close sphere around
this base, due to the limited forces we have available. We are sorry we cannot provide more defences,
even our convoys were targeted by pirates around there, but we really need to focus on protecting our
major mining sites.

So, please state what this premium for the weapons will be.

Yours respectfully,
Mina Juliana Irrlicht
