Honored secretary,

Emily Furukawa, Ionic Incorporated. I am reviewing your plans in the context of a broader array of operations currently ongoing, but our company is naturally willing to do our utmost for the security of the nation. We have discussed and coordinated with the Naval Forces since the start of this animosity with the Republic of Liberty, so your request does not come out of nowhere.
I cannot imagine the construction of such a fort would be a general question of feasibility, details notwithstanding, but I must be realistic about our capacity to provide assistance. Ionic Inc. does not have a true shipping fleet; we ourselves rely to a great degree on outside partners for our logistics, mostly the Gateway subsidiary Caledonia Distributions Ltd., who have proven reliable.

What we certainly can provide however is assistance with the technical side of such an installation, in particular in regards to energy management, shielding, and armaments, including the facilities of stationboard military craft. We have already been working in cooperation in these fields for over two full semesters now, so any personnel we send would need very little additional walk-in, and we can ensure that the station will be the most modern in Sirius in terms of technical specifications.
It's very likely that some of your personnel working on the project is already personally familiar with some of ours from a course at our institute.

I will send my trusted QA head, Yasu Ike, immediately to establish details. She works fast.

Regards,

Emily Furukawa
Chief Executive Officer
Ionic Incorporated
