President Doe.

Your concerns for privacy are a mutual thought, you are not alone in that regard. Your conditions go without saying, it is something we mutually expect of you too. These types of relations do not go without consequence.

But let us get straight to the point:

I am certain you are no doubt aware of the nature of Dark Matter. Hypercharged matter, volatile enough to decimate vessels and structures. We believe it to be sensible to invest into this manner to manipulate it for a new generation of energy production. However, there are a few obstacles we must overcome before fully committing to such visions. One of these obstacles is the adaption of capital vessels for the purposes of observation, assurance and protection of the project. For the most part, the core elements of the first vessel is set in foundation. Due to some engineering complexities of the aforementioned projects, we are prohibited from moving forward in this vision.

We are willing to compensate your organisation, beginning with 200,000,000 Sirian Credits, up to 800,000,000, for your assistance on these first few projects. If you are interested.
