Good day, Mr. Shulze.

It is good to hear from you. We are doing well enough, all things considered. Our home is a battlefield, and while I would prefer it was not so, our enemies are not giving us this choice. But we know this system, and that gives us the advantage. At least, Admiral O'Sullivan says so. I am inclined to leave tactics to more martially inclined minds than mine.

Your offer is intriguing, however. We do not currently hold much influence on Sprague itself, but we are interested in changing that. I will inquire with our local agents about securing some appropriate premises planetside. This may take some time - I trust you are alright with that.

Godspeed,
Matthew Jamie Burns
