To the sender of the transmission to which I am replying to (as is evident):

Zakir, if you had suspended an enormous slab of eccles cake on the end of a string I couldn’t be more tempted by your proposal. Revolutionary new jump gate technology that our liberty friends don’t have their hands all over, and at the edge of known space too? Well you can count me in on this one.

However, before I make even the slightest movement I’m going to need some time to get any ship together capable of fitting the required dimensions to carry mid-level research equipment and high-frequency scanners (along with all the extra fuel required just to make it out there) which isn’t actually the size of an apartment building.

Hrm. Let me see what some of my old Gallic friends of Monte Carlo can draw up for me.

As to your stellar positioning, you need only list where you wish to meet for the rendezvous. I’ll be departing Freeport 10 four or five days from now, once I gather all the equipment together. It’ll be good to work together on this one no? Unlike that illusive artefact of yours.

I await your reply as though my life depended upon it. Well, no, not quite.

Nadeau.
