Timothy Cryer, Chairman and CEO of Cryer Pharmaceuticals;

As you insist on cutting to the chase, so will I.

Personally, I am in favour of what you propose. I will put it through Admiral Hale and the other members of the Liberty Navy High Command to see if they agree with me. I can't guarantee anything, so I may become the bearer of bad news, so to speak. Lets hope not.

There may be one large problem with transporting the drug legally and openly, however. As you may or may not know, we have a sizable number of naval, security force and police personnel who somehow manage to get away with not doing anything which could be construed as useful. Of significance, many of them will not be updated on changes to the law to allow exceptions, so you may find problems with lawful forces despite you having our leave to ship your requested cargo. And of course, they wont believe you when you try to reason with them most of the time. As such, if the rest of the Liberty Navy High Command accept your proposal, you may find it neccessary to keep your guard raised whilst in possession of said cargo within our borders.

I am also regretful to say, but military scanner blocking technology is not for public use. It's abuse, perhaps from being salvaged from a ship that you lose, could lead to untracked or much harder to track shipments of any manner of illegal goods into and out of Liberty. Not to mention, the risk of a duplication of our technology, however slim, is an unacceptable risk to take. I hope you understand.

We will come to a decision soon.
