Good day, Mr. Zavala.

I am Minister Burns, head of the Republican Provisional Assembly's Mining Corps and financial advisor to our Chancellor.

There have been numerous independent traders bringing iridium into Dublin from the remote Omicrons, with some concerning accounts of the situation surrounding Freeport Nine. This situation is not wholly clear to us, and I would appreciate if you could offer some insight into it.

The Omicrons are too remote for us to take advantage of your offer to purchase iridium reliably, though the Free Dublin Shipping Company ships have been known to make the trip before. Still, if your company operates an iridium refinery, I would appreciate knowing more about it as well.

However, I see no reason to deny your request, as the Assembly is always looking for pilots willing to enter Dublin past the blockade, and iridium is useful for Foyle Shipyard's manufacturing processes. Submit your request to Connacht Depot for processing - it is our auxiliary gold refining facility.

Godspeed,
Matthew Jamie Burns
