Senator Cambrist,

I noted that in the business news you have unveiled a new drone idea. I applaud you, Senator, for being a man for the people who is attempting to save lives and increase the ability for planets to defend themselves at a lower cost than would be otherwise possible. I am curious, however, as to how well your drones would do against those produced by Vigilance Technologies. Not the planetary defense drones, of course, but our combat drones. Would you care to engage at some point in a small trial encounter? I would be interested to see the result.

Regards,

Mr. Stark,

I've heard of you, Sir. It seems you have the respect of a number of my colleagues, and while you seem to be a man who enjoys a low profile, I see you have the business sense to appreciate the value of publicity for your company's drone designs. While I have nothing against you and, indeed, while many of my colleagues attest to your character, your drone has been presented or, at any rate, perceived as a competitor to mine, and for as long as mine commands the publicity of its manufacturers and, additionally, of Brentaal and its media market, I am not eager to invite yours to "share the sun," as it were. It would do no favors to my drone, that is, while earning yours quite a lot of publicity by association with mine. I suspect it would establish an impression of false equivalence, an impression we must not leave with the consumer.

While I'm not opposed to a trial of the sort you propose at some point, I must decline the proposal to do so during the roll-out campaign of the Arrowhead-class when our focus is on the promotion of our design. Additionally, I would not want to discredit your design so soon upon its release with a thorough routing at the hands of the Arrowhead-class.

Regards,

Senator Cambrist,

I think I like you. In one message, you've managed to praise my business sense and character, while simultaneously stating the drone design from Vigilance Technologies cannot stand up to the Arrowhead design you've created. Bravo, Senator, bravo indeed for having such a silvered tongue. By all means, I am still open to a little competition at some point in the future. I find it interesting that you are so supremely sure that the Arrowhead will route my design. After all, our drones are meant to serve the similar purpose of planetary defense; or should I say, at least one of my drones does. Either way, I look forward to proving you wrong, or so I hope, Senator.

I am looking forward to seeing the test results of the Arrowhead.

Regards,
