Subject: Monthly Payment, SBC Ownership Status

Mr Hawthorne,

Universal Shipping Incorporated has just transferred the monthly payment of Sirius Base Construction for March. This is simply a notification message.

Mr Veltman, we acknowledge your vengeful no-dock protocol on Universal Shipping Incorporated. Considering the notoriously inhumane living conditions that you are treating your employees (as already presented before) we would like to inform you that your decision was unneeded as we had already decided to terminate any association with the Deep Space Engineers as any further cooperation with =DSE- would be very negative for our company image.

Subsequently, we would like to ask you which stations the Deep Space Engineers own in order to avoid docking with them. We only know that you control Scrap Palace, which true to its name and your inhumane reputation was a decaying wreck orbiting Planet Houston.

As for your previous message, we did not answer it because you still failed to produce any evidence to support your claims. Quoting President Bell is not evidence of =DSE- ownership over Sirius Base Construction. Universal Shipping will always welcome any new evidence that =DSE- brings forward.

Finally I have some good news for you Mr Veltman. You have requested in the past Mr Josef Tomsovsky to come forward and provide his own testimony. So we contacted him and he confirmed that he will do so.

Thank you.


Nicole Burton
Chief of Staff
Universal Shipping Inc.
