Prezado Sr. Kruger, Sr.ª Riehl,

I would recommend to you, Senhora Riehl, that you re-check the good Senhora Flora’s status as a member of the Gaians. I have it on good authority that she still is. Of course, I know that such people can be difficult to gain the truth from, and that her lack of forthcoming is by no means a demonstration of your own truthworthiness.

And so, you ask me to help you in getting the drive system for a Bulwark, for a Gaian. My superiors would no doubt look poorly on this - the Gaians attack Bristol ships for simply doing their common business, in New London, in Newcastle, in Manchester. They attack Bristol ships in Vespucci, too, on the seldom times we fly there. This is the main concern for the Bristol Board, not that the sale may yet be traced to Bristol, but that those radicals who would fly the ship we would help rebuild would use it against us. I think you understand the concern, no?

I think, I would need certain guarantees from this Senhora Flora, before moving forward in this project. As I understand it, she holds a certain sway in that movement, her words hold a certain amount of weight. The terms are simple - the Gaians will not attack Bristol vessels, not while we do our business in Bretonia, not while we do our business in the former worlds of the Commonwealth.

Deliver that, Senhor Kruger, and we’ll get on to the price of this drive system.

Até a próxima.
