Video signal appears with Raul Golden sighing at this hard to resolve situation, with sad smile on his face.

Well... perhaps 2 billion credits sponsoring to whenever you think needs additional investment, could solve the issue?

Video signal appears with Raul Golden.

A week has passed. Any new information about our request? We wonder why it could be so hard to decide? We make charity devices for free for Liberty forces. We make another charity, for free upgrades benefiting Liberty, including solving your problems with weapon platforms. We even make another charity 2 billion credits, which we have no doubt would make Liberty even stronger.

Could not inventors be allowed for what they improve? Could not we be allowed a feeling to be protected from threats? We invested multiple billion credits in the work that helps Liberty citizens, helping people to obtain high-technology devices for those who have a hard problem getting them for credits or buying them outside of Liberty. Old Liberty Law allowed citizens to use necessary high technologies like cloaks to defend themselves, are we exempt from it? Could not we be allowed a reward for our work and feeling not to be threatened by possible terrorist attacks?

Video signal appears with Raul Golden. He scanned history of communications with Liberty government, it has been half of year since he chased silly dreams to permit something for his company. It is time to give up.

Thank you for your consideration.... or at least I guess not rejecting it from first glance this time. It could be probably ignored though, that's why we had no answers.

Since we are clearly not going to be allowed soon or ever... we withdraw our application for platforms permission.

Best regards, Raul Golden.

Video signal is turned off.

The transmission remained without answer. Nobody was left to respond to it. Only article news and witnesses remain as a history when a year ago personnel of Interstellar Beacon together with its ships tried to open long range hyper drive tunnel for a jump into another Sirius house

Something went wrong. The fatal miscalculation caught the base in a vortex of hyperspace breach, ripping the station apart. Some of the survivors were lucky to be left in still intact air-sealed parts of the station, their rescue was in time by arrived vessels from nearby Philadelphia station.

And even though there are some people survivors, the same can't be said about Interstellar Beacon station, which is now just space debris.

A time has passed, a week, a year... but nothing appeared at the point of destination in Bretonia. The two bustards and ripped parts of the station went missing and were never seen again.
