My dearest sir,

I am grateful to you for your patience and understanding in this delicate matter. I will halt construction on cargo module #2 immediately, and instruct my suppliers to do the same.

As I said, our shields are active, and that is all we require at the moment.

I would also like to add, that should our organization's base license be approved, we would very much like to discuss added Naval Patrols along the Platinum Corridor from Alberta through to Curacao. More money passes through this corridor now in a single Sirian day than passes through some entire systems in a month.

Such wealth has been attracting some rather, shall we say, "unwelcome" guests. Why only today, it was reported that one of my colleagues was threatened with revealing the precise location of our facilities to all of Sirius, unless 500.000.000 sirian credits was transferred into their account...and they wanted this exorbitant sum in 6 hours no less!

Obviously we will not be extorted, but the threats are increasing everyday. I very much look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter. With all due respect, patrols must be increased, sooner rather than later.

Most respectfully yours,

Captain James Bootsiuv

CEO, Cold Lake Industries
