I am Silver Sparrow, acting as a scientific envoy within the Technocracy. On behalf of my esteemed colleagues, I am reaching out to formally request acquisition of one Grendel-class vessel.
This request arises from a pressing operational need: the intensifying instability and threat vectors within our region have placed significant strain upon our existing logistical flotilla. To ensure continued efficiency, security, and resilience in our operations, the addition of a Grendel-class platform is now a matter of strategic urgency.
We trust in the shared understanding of our objectives and await your favorable response.

"Ja, Ja... I think this might work considering we've got enough from the salvage fields to start doing exports. People seem to be wanting these left and right but I'm not surprised since everyone likes to take a shipment under the nose of the Imps and other rats these days.
"First, we require a payment upfront of USC$150,000 to cover the costs of labour and the hiring of the teams during to fabricate, assemble and certify the Grendel class frigate fit for deployment. These are demanding vessels and by your objectives they require just a bit more quality assurance. A cock that crows too early gets a twisted neck, ja? Send it under this channel here.
"Next one on our list is optional if you be willing to help us improve what we can on our Grendel shield systems to support our smuggling wings. Our Grendel's face more troubles with environmental hazards than law enforcement these days; I'm fixing volatile gas remnants off the skin of our ships than anything else. If we're going to make things easier for the runners going through the Omegas and Sigmas then I have to find a way to deal with those explosive pockets of nebula ga- 'Herr Aaron, Danzig will be back soon, you can work on the fuel lines later... Ja, Ja, you must not run after two hares at the same time, I want that coolant system done over again first.'
"You... Techno-volk have a way with ship systems alright, caused a bunch of my lot to learn the hard way looking at the power matrix systems on those Valkyries you requested a refurbishment on, so they thought you might have some ideas to help us that way. Saverne's engineers union would be happy if you could give us any pointers and my repair crew would be happy if you could supply maintenance manuals and they can see about making sure this armoured vault is fit for your purpose."
"Ja, Ja, we also take more credits too instead if that is an issue, trust begets trust, its better than credits. Thank you, Ja, ja. Bye."

Deputy Dockmaster, Saverne, Cologne "Please reschedule your vessel's hanger slot at least 24 hours before work is to happen, availability is limited for as we need to remain open for emergencies. Maintenances manuals for generic systems can be found on the OOS archives."
Thank you for your timely response. Proof of funds being transferred will be uploaded to the designated neural net link you provided.
Regarding your second request, I have forwarded your message to the appropriate parties in the hope that they can provide the information you need. Furthermore, they will ensure that the Grendel is delivered to the correct individuals.

"Guten tag Frau Sparrow, apologies that this took some time to assemble the vessel but we and a few other interested parties in the Platform wanted to ensure you had a vessel worthwhile of telling others about Saverne's attention to detail... Ja, Ja?"
"She is ready, we had a team that knew what they were doing with those special parts but its not something they're looking forward to working on again, so I hope I know what you're doing with maintenance... They don't call me Kaput for nothing, usually I can work without special tools but... Nein, this isn't it for me.
"This is sly... But I suppose you could always say no since I alone am satisfied with my dockyard team's work to allow this export. Seems like the Paramilitary have one last job to request from you while you're taking delivery, they're asking for you to pick up a batch of supplies they're loading right now in the ship as we spe-- "Nein! Don't scratch the paintwork when you load those damn things! She hasn't even been space bound you brutes! Ehem... Entschuldigung... I put a lot of work on that ship. But the location is far, they said you're used to this but what nutcase is going this deep in the Omicrons?!
"Just be careful, Ja? Apparently what they're sending to their 'distant acquaintances' is of explosive nature and is supposed to be used against their foes, so try not let it take damage in the hold... I trust my armour to handle outside threats, not inside ones."

Deputy Dockmaster, Saverne, Cologne "Please do not take dockyard tools back to your quarters, there is a public maintenance office to register tools out for personal use, and an emergency repair team if the requirement is critical & immediate."
