Subject: A little request.. Greetings, Grand Admiral, Ms Stone.
I come to you with a request, i trust you are aware of my vessel and my dealings with you in the past. I'm sure you recall the various interactions and operations i participated with in the past. I wish once again for that to be so, however on a different end of Sirius. I trust- No. I know well enough you know about the situation in Bretonia.
She pauses, composing herself
I'll get to the point, recent events have resulted in my vessel Phoenix..inoperable. Let's just say a few of the things we like to destroy put me in a bad spot. So i was forced to retrieve an old Navy vessel from the era of the 41st Task force. It is now used as the host for my AI, Nixie, whom i'm sure you're both acquainted with. My intention is to work with a group known as the Aegis Initiative, in fact we are assisting them currently, to further the cause against the Alien threat.
In fact, i would go as far to say i am actively part of the Initiative at this point. We are currently in the process of researching various leads we have on this end of Sirius. I am intending to start operations with my vessel shortly. But -I lack the equipment on my vessel to effectively deal with these things. The weapon systems are ancient and outdated and i can't rightfully go asking anybody in Liberty. On top of this fact, trying to get systems modern enough for my AI to associate with properly is incredibly difficult in my position.
So i come to you, with this humble request. Specifically i am requesting the following:
*Two (2) Order Battleship Primary Turrets
*Six (6) Order Cruiser Turrets.
I am aware this is a big ask, but it's a cause i deem worth fighting for no matter what it is i need to request. I am unsure of what to offer you in return however i'm sure we can come to some sort of an agreement. I believe destruction of the enemy we both face, should be set as top priority. I am perfectly able and willing to meet with you in a location of your choosing should you wish.
It has been a while since we heard anything from Solar Runners.
It is quite unheard of to see Liberty battlecruisers outside of service from Navy or the LSF, so excuse my doubts but I would rather want to see it with my own eyes when passing a judgement. In addition, we never had any contact with so called "Aegis initiative" and by looks of it, their operations never had interfered with Omicron sector as we know it. More information concerning them and their activities will be required for evaluation, given they had never established contact with us - and none of cells under my command in that part of Sirius bears such or simmilar name.

Grand Admiral,
As for the actions of the Initiative. I can reference a recent event with a vessel identified as Lelantos-1. This is in fact the group leader, Joshua Hunt. You ran into the man in Omicron Mu recently. I'm sure you can see, as i believe from what i was told, you yourself were present in this encounter and hopefully this in itself is evidence of our intentions and actions toward the Nomads themselves. The Initiative are focused on activities in the lower Sirius regions, most notably Coronado for the moment.
My vessel itself is to be purposed for similar activities however i must warn you now, we've had serious problems disabling the Navy identification system due to the system age and design. I can assure you there is no Navy or LSF influence whatsoever. I recall meeting a vessel Aoi Kuneida in Coronado. Forgive me if this is pronounced incorrectly; however i am certain it was associated with the Order overwatch and so, can confirm my presence with the Initiative vessels either Lelantos, Artemis or Hornet.
Unfortunately the transponders associated with my ship still show 'Navy'. We have plans to rectify this however. I can assure you this vessel is in fact used within the Aegis Initiative and i can show her to you if you wish. But i must ask on this basis, you inform your associates the transponder is in fact false. I'm trust the vessel tag 'ANC' in her days of assisting the Order are not forgotten and have absolutely no intention of betrayal of this reputation.

Subject: So.. To the people addressed,
So. I've been pondering whether to bother you any further about this. But my uh. AI has decided to nag me about it regarding some personal..situation with the vessel Kusanagi. I figured i'd open this channel to that vessel and it's associates also - seeing as how there's some unfinished uh, business with that vessel i'm told. After the Core very kindly gate-crashed it - was to be expected i suppose and we took severe damage from the engagement. Thankfully repair assets were able to assist in time, so it's not all bad i suppose. Nixie herself tells me she would like to meet with this vessel again - don't ask me why, i wasn't told the details.
She seemed to sigh, shaking her head at the thought of her AI.
I figured it'd be better to bring a new topic to the table rather than just Re-send this transmission. Speaking of which, I wondered if you have had the time to consider my request. My AI did after all, allow the aforementioned vessel a copy of the Blueprints of Warhammer. - We've had some problems with the Core of late, sniffing around places they shouldn't be and a few conflicts with Corsairs. They seem to be throwing themselves at us and i can't for the life of me figure out why. Some rumor going around that we're some Order 'brainwashed' sleeper agent or something. Yes i know, it's absurd that the Core are as bored or foolish to believe such things. So uh, a prompt situation update would be greatly appreciated before things get -really- messy up here.
So. I eagerly await a reply regarding either of the subjects.
A very, very flustered Ellie appears, cheeks enflammed scarlet
I-Iuh. Uh. I'm Ell- Doctor Ellie Hunter, and the Kusanagi is the vessel I currently base off of. And uh...t...tell Nixie to contact me privately, this is not the best place to conduct such...p...private matters on.
Please give my best to her.
Michael is going to throttle me...
A still flustered and very off balance Ellie seems lost, then just shuts the comm channel off with a mortified expression
For security purposes, this deal unfortunately is postponed until I can meet leader of Aegis and present new information to rest of the Order Overwatch. That is, I am in contact with Joshua Hunt and you will be informed as soon Command decides upon your request.
I figured i'd send a request for a status update on the deal that was proposed. I am aware that you have spoken with Hunt regarding allegiance of myself and Warhammer. I'm curious as to the state of play with the Order and my vessel also in regards to the recent meetings with Hunt and the Initiative. My AI was present for part of the meeting with a vessel identified as Intervention - I'm told you were quite intrigued by it's origin and it's use outside of it's intended military. I figured sending Nixie to act as a defensive measure would be an act of good will toward the Order and further proof of our allegiance with the Aegis Initiative. - I'm fairly certain you yourself know it would have been unwise to reveal Warhammer in a situation like that for security and safety purposes. It's best to attract the least amount of attention possible in such circumstances.
I myself was unfortunately unable to attend due to various circumstances arising and at the time they were of personal importance to me and Nixie - the figure you met on the day of the meeting. Since I've not heard anything back in some time, i therefore request an update on the situation with the equipment request and also what the general stance of my vessel would be with the Order despite the eh. Broken transponder. - We've still not managed to rid the damned identification system from the ship as of yet, however i'll continue to look into it. - Perhaps one of your operatives would be aware of how to disable it?. Just a thought.
Anyway i'll wait for your reply and see where things go from here.
Consider this an eviction notice. While, in good trust we considered working with you on restoration of your battlecruiser with certain alterations to original plan, your boss by name of Joshua Hunt has committed grievous crimes against The Order with full premeditation and knowledge of his actions. Given you are among those who count as his followers, you will be no longer welcomed by us. Therefore, I consider this matter closed.
