Thank you. I trust I can preform some modifications to the vessels? Add some weapons here, remove some weapons and crew there, etc? Money wired.

"You may do whatever you want with the design, including sell it. The only caveat is that we also maintain the right to produce the vessel, but we currently have no intention to sell it. We do not, however, maintain the right to sell production rights again without your express consent."

Understood. Thank you. And the embassy exchange is ok. We merely wish to put it on hold for a little while untill you have resolved your beef with Ankhmet. We wouldn't have our people nuked, now would we?
