"To the Drone Representative: This is Constable-Unknown, Overseer of the Gateway One Starbase. We thank you for showing a good interest in our open laboratories, however we are more than capable of defending our own station from internal and external assaults. "
"However, we will look into your offer of an alliance, see what your League can offer for the Collective, and, as a show of good faith, we will give you Upgraded access to the Open Labs and a small discount for Data Transmissions, should you ever require our facilities to do so. "
"Upgraded access includes the option to protect your work from other factions - should you feel unsafe about the results. Keep in mind, however, that this does not prevent /us/ from seeing your research, and we still hold the right to use the research for our own commitments, should we see the need to do so. We /Will/ protect your data, however."
