Good afternoon Ms Raichert,

My name is August Molitor, Director for the Financial Department at Akutan Production Facility, and I will be handling this message.

I’m glad to hear that the Mailand has proven itself to your demanding and doubtless extensive practical testing. Considering the Bulwark’s reputation, I have no doubts that it would have had the capacity to pass such a thing, though a part of me feels that the events of that ‘great alien beast’ must have stretched the design to its limits. Bristol and Kress, after all, do not have such an extensive knowledge on those issues. If you would be willing, I’m sure our Engineering Department would be glad to have the data in the goals of improving our designs.

The issues of confidentiality are not concerning for the Bristol Board. So long as ALG uses the vessel in compliance with applicable House Laws, we see no problem there.

We currently do not have any hulls for immediate sale available, but can begin production immediately. The price of the Bulwark-class Heavy Explorer still stands at 15.000.000 cr. Once we have completed the vessel and performed all necessary testing, we will be willing to accept payment.

Be advised that the Superstructure Systems market is currently prohibitive towards construction. As such, lead times towards the production of the vessel may be greater than normal. I hope this will pose no problem towards ALG.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

V/R
MOLITOR, AUGUST
DIRECTOR, AKUTAN FINANCIAL DEPT
