We are ... more than willing to accept your offer to attempt an orbital international docking between our nations' spacecraft.

The Hadleigh Aerospatial Design Laboratory has already been assigned the task of designing and producing a connector in the shortest time possible to send it up together with the "Pursuit" station. Given the relative ease of the task, the connector should be ready within less than a week.

Meanwhile, we want to use this chance to propose our nations take another step towards international cooperation by signing one of The Pacts. The Pacts have been introduced by the Commonwealth at the end of last year but have so far seen only limited implementation, and we are seeking to use any chance available to improve relations with other Northern Utopian countries.

Either of the two Astarese staging stations could be used for this docking, or for support of Arwindom's landing efforts. A manned crew launch will be required before either takes place, but Chasz-capable crew ferry spacecraft are kept in launch-ready configuration and can be ready to launch within two weeks. The docking adapter would be attached at the forward port of either station, with the crew ferry serving as tug at the aft port.

The Astarese Parliament is willing to debate the utility of Astarey subscribing to one of the pacts in its next session. Details will follow at the end of the first meeting.

The government of Astarey thanks you.
