My dearest Commander Wicks,

A most regrettable incident, indeed.

First and foremost, beyond any material loss, the navy should be aware that there were 200 employees on that station at the time of it's destruction. Are we just looking the other way as the Liberty Authorities MURDER 200 innocent Libertonians?

I expect a full investigation into this matter, with criminal charges brought against those responsible.


Now, the "incurred loss" as you so eloquently put it, was to the tune of 500,000,000 sirian credits. Days of shipments had to be coordinated to bring our shields online. The amount of credits stored in our safe alone was 180,000,000. This tragedy will also delay our operations at least a month, which only means more money lost.

My accountants have estimated the entire material loss to be on the order of 1.5 billion sirian credits.

We assumed that we were quite safe from the perils of space, as only a battle fleet would be able to compromise our shields. Who would have thought that the only battle fleet we should have feared was our own militaries'?

You think this injustice can be remedied by offering my firm a coupon for one month's free rent?

To this I say No sir!

Cold Lake Industries is prepared to take this matter to the highest court in the land. My legal team is preparing a lawsuit as we speak. We're seeking the full 1.5 Billion Sirian Credits, if it goes to court.

However, all of this can be remedied by depositing 250,000,000 sirian credits on my main transport [~]Esus, so that my operation may resume unabated.

I hope we can continue to work together to come to an amicable agreement for all parties involved.

Most Respectfully Yours

James Bootsiuv

CEO, Cold Lake Industries
