To: Pantalião Vascoguoncellos, Bristol C&M From: Friedrich Kruger, Unioner Diplomatic Ambassador Subject: Clarification – Bulwark Drive Module Request
Senhor Vascoguoncellos,
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate a direct question, and I will answer it just as directly.
The Bulwark in question is not being commissioned by the Union for Unioner service. This request is made on behalf of Flora, as discussed previously between your people and Gunda Riehl. I believe that context should already be familiar on your end.
To be precise, we are not seeking a full refit package, nor an entire vessel’s worth of machinery.
What we require is a single Bulwark-class drive module port or starboard suitable for integration into an existing propulsion assembly. One unit only. No more, no less.
The vessel itself is a Heavy Explorer that has seen hard years and harder routes. This is a matter of replacement and continuity, not expansion or new construction. The Union’s role here is logistical and protective, nothing beyond that.
There is, however, an additional consideration that may be of interest to Bristol.
Routing this component through Unioner hands offers Bristol a degree of discretion. Our involvement provides a layer of separation that allows your firm to fulfill an existing industrial obligation without drawing unnecessary attention or speculation about renewed external relationships. In short, it keeps your books clean, your reputation intact, and your delivery unquestioned.
We will, as stated before, provide full escort and cover for the shipment from departure to handover.
If this clarification satisfies your concerns, we are prepared to proceed immediately on timelines, pricing, and handling requirements.
I await your response.
Mit Respekt, Friedrich Kruger
