Incoming encrypted transmission from Gran Canaria to SCRA HQ:

I am captain Elias Elonen of the Zoner advanced train "Reckless Abandon". I have been tasked to establish a shorter and safer commerce route for the export of our deuterium and the export of plutonium to Lancarote Base.

I have deduced that I would save considerable time by flying through your system, Omega-52. I do hereby request permission for passage through Omega-52. My intention is to fly from jumphole to jumphole - with no deviations. My ship will not be docking with any facilities in your system.

I respectfully await your reply.

Elonen out.

All seems okay so far, pilot, but first we need to know where your cargo is headed. We don't want nuclear fuel reaching our enemies, as you must understand.

I await your confirmation.

Ares out.
