Robert Jokinen stood up once again in response, flicking through his tablet for the needed information. "With regards to the chain of authority, Zongongia is willing to operate under either of the proposed frameworks, be it a joint enterprise between specific nations, or within the framework of LIDUN. We will therefore defer to other interested parties regarding the making of such a decision. We do believe that it would be best to establish a system of alternating command on board the station through citizens of participating states, to ensure no one state develops a clear monopoly on the position."

"On the matter of budget," he continued, "we will be able to contribute similar amounts to the Maximusians; however we would also be constrained by this limitation. The project, therefore, will only be able to go ahead if there is a sufficient quantity of interested parties. Establishing the station under a LIDUN framework, however, may also give us other avenues for budgetary allocations. Something to consider when debating the previous matter."

Jokinen pushed his glasses up his nose and took a drink of water before continuing. "As for mission parameters; we still have numerous groups vying for funding in Zongongia. However, we would like to second the Maximusian desire for research into zero-G habitation and applications thereof; so we would not have any concerns regarding the Maximusian priorities. I would invite any other interested parties to share their thoughts."
