Greetings Mr. Hayes,
This is Captain Tanner of the Spring. I see you picked up our unsigned transmission informing all potentially interested parties so nobody goes chasin' after done deals.
Now, I understand Delta Research Station was successfully auctioned off and is switching ownership. What are AWES plans for the station? Even if Williams' planned extensions don't go through, you should be able to divert Spring's shipments of basic materials into day to day stationkeeping operations.
I'm sure your enterprise will be able to set up mutually beneficial business arrangements with zoners, both our larger heavy industries and us independent free zoners! But I hope AWES will be transparent about their intentions for the station and keeps the general zoner public well-informed. You're awfully close to a Freeport, almost an extension of it.
