Good afternoon,

I would regret to inform you that due to Liberty Navy demands for Avionic Systems and Interior Systems, which are expected to extend late into this month at minimum, we currently do not foresee the ship construction market stabilizing for some time. As this is prohibitive towards the construction of a Bulwark-class Heavy Explorer, we do not feel this is a satisfactory agreement.

Furthermore, as the immediate acquisition of 20 T-493-VHF "Benzaiten" fighters is not within my purview before any testing of the vessel can be made by my own pilots in Galileo - the conditions of which are different to those in the Sigmas. In total, I do not feel that this request is to the benefit of Bristol C&M.

I do, however, appreciate the needs of GMG in this engagement against an unknown capital ship within the Sigmas. As such, I would make this counter-offer. For one T-493-VHF "Benzaiten" class fighter, Bristol C&M would pay the standard fee, an additional fee of 20% to cover the costs of transportation, and would be willing to transport 43.000 units of Deuterium to Yakushima Station. This would free up your escorts and transports for more pressing needs.

I hope this is acceptable to you, and I look forward to hearing back from you.
