"My scientists are soldiers, Minamida. I'll agree to sending only scientists, but this is a military base, with military operations. We are military personnel.
I believe the facilities on location should be more than adequate, though we'll have to bring in some of our own proprietary equipment. You're welcome to examine that to make sure it won't harm any of your systems, and you can have access to any and all results we obtain.
If you or one of your students need to be present during any investigations and experiments, that is acceptable. We will not run back and forth to you in some office to ask for permission, but it's fine to work with you in a joint operation in your facility. You run your facility; you can revoke our access to your equipment if you are concerned, at any point, with our methods.
Sending transportation to pick is up is a waste of everyone's time, but if you're that concerned about optics, it will be acceptable.
We will continue to operate under the same procedures set in place four years ago, when the subject was first discovered. I trust that will be acceptable, as it ended up with the decision to send the 70-N to you in the first place."
