Hm...

I understand your request. Callahan was a valued Colonel, or so I hear. I never met her myself. However, I can understand your grief. You lost your sister. The Broadsword you once shared with her is doubtless in use, but I can understand your wanting it.

Unfortunately, Broadswords are quite expensive to create. We'll need to make a replacement for this missing one. They are also highly exclusive. I'm doing this only because of the service Callahan gave us along with her life. You may have this vessel - but only for thirty five million credits and some very specific... parts... that the Legion requires. You see, we lack certain smaller heavy weapons. Sure, we can build large fusion reactors, but we lack the technology to build smaller nuclear weapons both ground-bound and space-borne. As such, we will need five hundred Nuclear Devices delivered for study directly to the Legion stores in... you know. You will contact us at such a time as these devices are to arrive. The Atropos will be ordered to retain them.

I believe these terms are favorable to all involved. Agreed?

-Executive Commander Mori
