Guten Tag Heir Trager,

Forgive my brief delay in response to your request. As I am sure you are well aware that requests from outside government entities must be considered and researched carefully. That being said our diplomatic and intelligence departments are in agreement that closer ties with the BDM would be of a significant benefit to our organization at this time.

As you are aware, our main facility in orbit of Planet Tuvalu is restricted to most outside traffic, and is closed except to parties of the highest pedigree. I am certain it goes without saying, but I would be remiss not to at least say it once that we expect BDM's increased presence in the area not to cause any undue burden on our security forces in the area. So far we have managed to operate the facility in a relatively peaceful manner, with the few incidents that have happened dealt with in ways that brought commerce and profit to all parties involved in the end.

I will add the BDM| ship identifier to the docking permissions within the next few hours. You should also expect a communication from our leader Christian Burton, in the near future. He had expressed interest in replying to your request himself, but I had to insist on claiming that honour for myself.

Let me then be the first to welcome you as our newest partner, and hope for a mutually beneficial relationship between our two interests!

Best Regards,

Richard Regan
Senior Trade Officer
Phoenix
