Dear merchant Aosen,
We are glad that you accept the offer, I am sure that this will be a bridge to further fruitful agreements.
I am afraid that we are not looking for research partners at this moment. The Djana Centre was just established, and it took considerable time to hammer out all the details with regards to the location, the applicable legislation and the division of work. Right now, we would like to focus on actually improving our military capabilities. However, I shall pass your request on to the Board of Oversight, but I can give no guarantees.
Signed,
Iaat Shigemi,
Field Marshall of the Iaat House Militia and Veolian representative of the Djana Military Research Centre
((OOC: That's nice, but OOC asking won't really get you any further. Convince us IC instead.))
