Greetings, IRG, Discordians, Omicroni, Livadia shipyard representatives.


This is a matter of significant security and interest to Die Reichsarbeitergesellshaft der Alster.

In the past, we have been wary, but otherwise unprovocative towards one another. This may yet change, for the better. The Confederation of Freeports has been largely accommodating to our objectives regarding our requests over abridged NFZ laws within the Bering system - for our own part, we have done what we can to protect the populace of that heavily contested system from molestation.

We have an intellectual request.

As you know, we are against the steady encroachment of the Synth monopoly over the Sirian systems. We believe, to our utmost concern, that our age-old allies in the LWB are on the brink of institutional collapse - Synth’s stranglehold over Stuttgart is nearly complete, despite the best of efforts, and the initialisation of war between various elements of the Volksrevolution looks set to break the LWB asunder. This presents a serious blow to the cause of anti-monopolism, and we are already doing what we can to contain the oncoming fall.


This is where you come in.


For years, you have provided us with food and provisions from your own biomes. Whilst we accept that Synth has been a major contributor to their provision, there remains domes, such as the Sylvania dome in Freeport 10, which remain largely enriched with non-Synthetic produce. You are, in essence, our first port of call for engendering a domestic agroculture to replace the loss of our LWB provisioners.


In short, we would like to enquire over the viability of obtaining no less than three pressurised geodesic domes, for the purpose of mounting on space stations or ships, mimicking that of Freeport 10’s own biosites and those adorning your other Freeports, mobile or static? These domes must be resistant to meteoric, ballistic, and neutronic damage, as we intend to use them as test articles for our own in-space arcology programs. There is an ever-growing number of refugees to be provisioned for, after all. The New Berlin star is not long for this cosmos - eventually, all Rheinlanders will have to learn to adapt to food grown in the darkness of space.

We are prepared to compensate you, considerably, for services rendered. Obviously, this is a matter we wish to be discreet over. We are prepared to pay in credits, however, we are ship manufacturers by blood, and will happily exchange quality engineering for quality engineering.

We wish to hear your thoughts, and your respective offers.

Contract request: X3 Reinforced Bio dome modules.



Offered payment: Credits or Hardware.

Thank you for your time, representatives.


Freedom, over everything.

Regards,
Armin Jansen.
First contact representative and Diplomat-in-Chief of der Alster Union, Pacifica Base, Bering.
