Dear Sir,

Guten tag mein herr! It is wonderful to see someone working on, shall we say, new innovations in the field of high velocity projection. I must admit, das Militar der Republik Rheinland takes a great interest in minds of a... high caliber. It is clear to us that you have one of these gifted minds, not to mention a most wonderful toy on display beside it.

Before we delve any further and make offers of a promissory or otherwise monetary nature, we would like to get a feel for the capabilities of your intuitive powers. I this case, we would like to find out just a little bit more about your toy.

• What are the exact dementions of your creation?
  
• Can it function in a zero-gee environment/vacuum?
  
• How much power does it require to fire?
  
• Can It be scaled up/down?
  
• How fragile is it and can it be reinforced with armor?
  

Depending on the answers to these questions, we may have a very interesting offer to talk to you about.

With the hope for a brighter future,

Rheinland Military Mid-command Officer, Hauptfeldwebel Hans Putzkammer.
