The Council of Zoners

Good day, and fair tidings to all of you. I hope this transmission finds you well and at peace.

From my understanding, peace is indeed in the best interests of Zoners everywhere, is it not? And as the Council, you protect those interests, correct? As you may have realized, not everyone has peace on their minds when dealing with the Zoners. Why, just the other day, I met someone who told me how he'd love to get his hands around your necks!

The Hellfire Legion is not, however, a peaceable organization. We are military men; we fight for what is right. I'm sure even you understand that you sometimes have to fight to defend your homes, correct?

Now, on the my point. The Hellfire Legion is most interested in an exchange of technology with the Zoners. You see, we had noticed you have access to a kind of remote detonation weapon called a "flak turret", which is of a technology we have no access to. Quite simply, we want two of them. In return, we're willing to part with some of our own technology. The Legion has access to high-grade military weaponry that may be useful in defending your Freeports. We are willing to trade twelve "Hellflurry" class Tachyon cannons, ten H4-Z "Brimstone" class gunboat cannons, eight H4-Y "Burningfirst" class cruiser cannons, six UB3-R-H4-X "Hailstorm" class battleship cannons, or four H4-X "Firelance" class battleship cannon for a pair for this piece of technology. Obviously, our own weaponry would be immensely useful in defending your homes and stations, and one weapon is hardly a great price to pay for it.

Please, by all means, let me know what you think.

-Executive Commander Mori
