[Message Begins]

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Joseph Garcia of the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army. Having just taking part in an expedition to Pennsylvania I have been confronted with the realities of life in that area.

It is my desire to conduct anti-piracy operations in the sector in order to secure it for both the Zoners as well as any civilian miners operating in the area. Their plight and their reception of our presence further reinforced my desire to conduct this operation.

I am requesting that you allow my "Storm" Gunboat the "Revolt" as well as the gunboat "Trinidad" access to Bethlehem station for repairs and refueling so that we may patrol the Helium clouds where the bulk of the pirate threat lurks. You have my assurance that the Revolt and Trinidad will never engage Military or Police forces while basing out of your station and will only fire on these forces in self-defense and will cease fire if they are no longer a threat to us.

I look forward to your reply and hope that you recognize that the elimination of the pirate threat is of the utmost priority.
