[He calls and-- a robot brings in several blueprints for him. Three are of large ships; each already outfitted with their own weapons. It's unclear what uses bullets, beams, particles or whatever-have-you but it's well designed and carefully plotted.
Others have ornate designs of weapons. Some large; that would be poorly fit for humans, with their destructive output. It would seem that they're designed for robots. In fact, they probably wouldn't be a bad fit for a gundam.]
Naturally, we're here to give you the real thing but-- as a welcoming gift, I'd be more than happy to part with these now.
[They do have everything on them that would be technically necessary to help one create them. So it's not a bad start.]
As future allies, you and I, my primary goal is to help you guarantee your victory as well as your friend's safety. [Gosh why is there this ominous pause like he wants you to think about th-- okay moving on.] Likewise I'm hoping that you can do the same for me.
[...Okay admittedly he's not expecting a robot to come in so give him a second to stare at that. He looks it over a bit warily as it brings the blueprints over, but his attention shifts quickly enough when he sees the plans for the ships and weaponry. There were definitely others in Tekkadan that would be able to make more sense of the schematics than he can, but the implication is enough; they at least had the technological know-how to build these.
As he mulls over the plans and the logistics of it all, one phrase manages to catch his attention beyond the rest--
--help you guarantee your victory as well as your friends' safety.
--and he looks up sharply at Oswald with narrowed eyes. He trusts this man as much as he trusts McGillis -- no, maybe actually even less than that, but. They were up against the Arianrhod, and while they had McGillis' resources at their disposal, in the end, Tekkadan was an insect compared to a fleet that size. So if they wanted to win, if they wanted to survive, if they wanted to seize their future, then--
He silently takes one of the blueprints, folds it neatly and tucks it in a pocket. And when he looks up, his visible eye is filled with suspicion, but also with resolve.]
...Alright. What do you want me to do?
[--Then he would use whatever he could. For Tekkadan.]
