Jay Stevens,
I've authorized the viewing of the following document for you, and as you may quickly notice, a number of rather obtuse groups. I'd advise you deal with Volgograd Industrial with due caution, as they may not agree or reason with you purely on backgrounds. Since they are a mutual party, you may explain your business with them specifically, that you're filling the requirements in this contract. Should they fail to reason with you and hinder you as explained in the contract, they can be dismissed from the project forcefully. They've been civil to our cause, and it's good business, so if you can reason and avoid them, do so. If they make petty demands, I can extend a 5 million credit cargo insurance policy to your shipments on the ordeal. This will hopefully mitigate the risks of going to the Edge Worlds, and reimburse you of any lost funds to pirates or otherwise. Just send us evidence to support a valid claim, and we will compensate you.

Other than that, you have the shipment requirements listed there. Such a colossal project requires many of us to shirk our differences for a time - call it opportunity risk and cost, but we should be seeing a profitable exchange in the future. On that note, I'd like to discuss the potential future of this project. The purpose of this Colony Ship is to create a hub for research operations in the Zurich system. There is a significant Gallic presence in the area, but there isn't significant claim from the Rheinland or Gallic governments. Should we succeed, we would like to produce your trademarked synth paste and gel on board - even if at a small scale. We're willing to contract members of your organization to work directly on-board if you prefer a more information secure method of production, but I'll leave that decision up to you. With the star in the intended system being ideal for standard agriculture, this may be an ideal place to construct more permanent residences, and with its inter-connectivity between two regions, a suitable place for a Freeport. Our long-term goals, if sufficiently supported, would be to build such a Freeport that would further employ your Synth Foods Biodome™ technology, but this is a very long-term goal.

Hopefully we can work together to facilitate this future.

Oh, and another thing, the authorization code for this contract is also valid for another one - document attached. Feel free to contribute to that one as well.

Best of luck,

Dr. James Erzie
