Good Morning,

My apologies for the extended delay in transmissions over this channel. My name is Ms Blake, elected Commander of Ognissanti and still-employee of Bristol Sales.

You can only imagine our surprise when we received that Samura Heavy Industries was interested in the purchase of one of our main line vessels. The deliberations at the boardrooms in Bering could be heard all the way in California, I'm sure.

As you are currently assigned to the Tau system, it may come as some surprise to you that current standards of conduct between Samura personnel and Bristol operations have not been entirely to the satisfaction of Bristol. Samura aggressiveness in Galileo, especially, has proven to be detrimental to the operations of both companies in Liberty, Kusari, and elsewhere. Furthermore, the Bristol Board has found it to be fiscally irresponsible to sell one of our premier heavy transports to Samura Heavy Industries who, as it is plain to see, outstrips most in production capacity.

As a direct result, Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing refuses the sale of a Bulwark-class Heavy Explorer to Samura Heavy Industries.
