Greetings.
Ill introduce myself. I am Leam Smith, Councilman of the Solar Runners and Commander of the Flagship Avant. A Colony Ship. We of the Runners are a peaceful group of Zoners which seeks to explore the far edges of Sirius, and further if we could. This Transmission is in the hope of making the job of defense easier. I hope i can gain your aid in an issue with the defense systems of one of our vessels. The Avant is the ship in question.

We have taken notice to your weaponry, a very interesting design indeed. I would like to request permission for the use of 18 amount total of both Your Battleship Primary Turrets(4) and Battleship Secondary(14) guns for our use. We of course will not use them against yourselves, mainly for research purposes, but we may see about using them practically as well.
These are to be fitted to the flagship itself due to the weapon systems being out of date and need replaced. The dated weaponry currently fitted is unable to defend the ship adequately and our other assets.
This vessel is primarily tasked with defending our interests and as a forward base of operations which we station from during expeditions. Of course we were happy to defend GMG vessels and your stations and will continue to so with the addition of these weapons making the job easier, as said, we don't intend to use them against the GMG or its Allies.

Thank you for your time.

Avant out.
