Good day,

Forgive the secrecy concerning my identity, but I cannot risk even the remote chance that someone might hack into this communique and learn that I have contacted you. Suffice it to say that I am, if not a supporter, then at least an advocate of the SCRA.

Now, to come straight to the point, I would like to request the usage of one of your Revolution bombers. I realize you would be loathe to even consider such a request, but please, hear me out. You see, I engaged the services of one of your Captains some time ago to facilitate the destruction of a Slaver. During our admittedly brief conversation, and in the study of certain SCRA communication logs since that incident, I have come to discover that you seem to have even more trouble with Slavers in your occupied space than the rest of Sirius.

Understand that it is my sole purpose to hunt down these foul individuals. That I would use your fine bomber to do so is borne out of a great need for a competent ship capable of operating almost everywhere in Sirius. You see, the vast majority of civilian vessels are grossly underpowered while the vast majority of other ships are extremely limited as to where they can operate. The utilization of a Revolution would solve both these problems nicely. In addition, a Coalition ship would be nigh untraceable by anyone outside of the SCRA, and given my need for secrecy, this is of paramount importance.

I realize there would be an enormous amount of complications to sort through, yet I hope you will not dismiss this request out of hand. Perhaps we could arrange a meeting so that I might speak to...whomever it may concern face-to-face. Name the time and the place, and I shall endeavor to be there, provided I am able to do so without being followed. Otherwise, I will keep this channel open for as long as I dare.

I eagerly await your response.

Comm ID: Ben Warner, Lt Colonel, Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army

"While I am happy to know somebody out there supports the Sirius Coalition's efforts I am very sorry to say that your request has been rejected by the Commissariat and the Premier due to security concerns. However if you want to be less-traceable I would recommend the Roc Class vessel as many organizations use this ship and it's battle-proven.

I apologize if this is not the answer you were looking for, but you must understand we must tend to our own security and safeguard our technologies from possible theft in the case you are killed.

Signed

Lt.Colonel Warner"

Lieutenant Colonel Warner,

While I am disappointed that my request has been refused, I admit I expected nothing different. I understand your needs for security and were I in your position, my response probably would not have differed. Still, no harm in trying.

May I thank you for taking the time to review this request, and may I wish you all the best of luck in your endeavours.

Regards,
A Friend
