Hola.
You've multiple times proven yourself as a valuable asset to any and all Ghost operations. Even more, with other participants within maltese society around as of lately. I know you're with Nacion Maltese, and less if at all with specific squads.
Nevertheless, Razgriz Ghosts request,... I request you to contact me over Corsican secured frequencies, echelon-spread, you have the access code that should once been given to you by Dennis. I'll instruct Kelly to redirect you directly to the Aether, case your signal reaches the Sanctum.
Caution is advised. Trust no one, and even less other maltese pilots if they're not Emilia or Itziar, and Kelly of course.
I'd love to meet with you personally, but I take you'd wish to stay away from Corsicas rather oppressive cardaminic atmosphere.
This is serious.
Make your call in time, quite fast.
You'll find the other option won't be comforting you.
Don't take it as a threat, but there's events in line that need immediate attention.
For power. For Ishmael. For the Ghosts.
Salutes.

Administrator Casta, a pleasure hearing from you again so soon. Was a shame we couldn't actually meet in person due to your busy schedule, but nevertheless, the chance to meet with senora Zito was more than appreciated. Even though I was intending to head toward Bretonia after that visit, I got a call from the Junker I was going to do business with and turns out he couldn't make the deadline, so whether it's just luck or an unexpected yet productive chain of events, I still happen to be in the region, so I got your message right away.
Unnecessary chit-chat aside though, there seems to be a pressing matter you wish to discuss with me, in which case go right ahead. I've made sure this channel's secure and clean on my end, and with Kelly around I doubt we'd have to worry about your end of it much.
Hola.
Sending your transmission from Ishmael by what the record shows. I'd suggest you leave that planet immediately if you, by what your words suggested, wish to partake in further talks with Ghosts, for now. You're surrounded there by the kind of people proclaiming to work for the advance of Nacion, yet they ever and only focus on their own achievements to grant themselves more of what they refer to as power, the influence that roots within maltese economy they undermine by their undelightful wish to rule. Any individual you'll find there may be involved into events, past and coming, that had been and will be the downfall of what once was the might of Nacion Maltese.
I won't doubt your ability to secure a communication, as well as I'll never doubt Kelly for her skills to keep a transmission closed, yet we can't be cautious enough these days, so we'll have to set a personal meeting to covenant the continuity of loyalty.
Going by your last call for Ghosts [RGF - A/Convention], I'm confident in your endeavor to move talks to a more enclosed environment.
Which for now means, you'll attend me on the Aether, Kelly will have you find us.
Know that I'll ask you to take upon a massive burden, which for a time after, will quite demolish your reputation within Nacion Maltese until the whole scenario is done. After, you'll find yourself in a position outside of your imagination right now, starting with first-class citizenship and the fulfillment of that particular deal you once sorted out with previous Administrator Perez. And this will just be the beginning of what you will receive.
For a first, find me a certain Katherine Pennybrooke and remind her to execute what she once agreed upon with Gabriella, including to leave me her answer [RGF - PK/Arrival].
After you've successfully accomplished this, find yourself contacting Kelly to have you taken on your way to the Aether. If possible, you'll take said Katherine right with you.
Preperations are all done. We're going to shape future, my friend.
For power. For Ishmael. For the Ghosts.
Salutes.

Quite an interesting offer, I must say, and a little bit of manhunt, or well... woman-hunt in this particular case, is something I never say no to. On the subject of Malta having a condition right now, worry you not. Fortunately I was already in the process of leaving and just needed to wrap up a few things first, and since I'm already out and on my way to Bretonia, any possible threats no longer need to be of any concern anymore.
One question I need to ask though, is regarding this Katherine persona you mentioned. Generally speaking, when people ask me to bring them someone, they mean either the pod or the head, but I'm assuming that's not the case here and you don't what her that "bad", so the question would be - How much of a "friend" is she, and how much of a, uhh... "nonlethal mistreatment" so to say, would be tolerated when bringing her in? Cause it's just a wild guess, but unless I misinterpreted your description of this person, if she hasn't called back already means she's either in a body-bag somewhere or not so willing to get back in touch.
I'll start my research on this Pennybrooke vessel the moment I hit a solid ground where I can camp for a while and stretch my legs, but won't take action until I've heard back from you, just to be safe and sure in knowing how to approach, so let me know.
Hola.
You may want to enjoy the last hours of making yourself comfortable, as the next weeks if not more you'll eventually spend running to conduct Ghost business.
Don't mistake her neglection of responding as a sign for her unwillingness to cooperate. She's quite preoccupied experiencing the marvels of maltese territory, leaving her lost in thought at times.
As for the, as lovely you called it, nonlethal mistreatment, I'd appreciate not having her in an injured or mentally disordered condition. She'll have a hard time with what's coming to her later on anyways, though, that's what she agreed on. If she refuses, don't force her, but make our position clear that we won't tolerate traitors, and that she won't be welcome around maltese territory should she decide to turn her mind against outlined endeavours. We've got no time playing games.
As a sidenote, try not to have your search spread to the public that much. Best case you keep it entirely to you. Last we right now need are unwanted eyes preying on our actions, so I expect you to live to our name, and be like a ghost.
For power. For Ishmael. For the Ghosts.

Found your little runner. She does like moving around a lot, and so I do hope all the effort I put into tracking her proves to be actually worth it. She's finally settled on that Research Station in Koeln for the time being, and I've rigged her ship with a tracking device so she can't wander off again. Since you wanted me to locate this researcher of yours and did not give me the actual location of this flagship of yours you wanted Pennybrooke delivered to, that means far as we had previously discussed, my job here's done. I can give you access to the tracking signal and you can send a couple of your guys to pick her up.
That said, it brings us to the usual "What next?" point. As a show of good faith, I agreed to get this done before discussing an actual payment, but it was assuming the persona was still in Outcast territory as you had originally claimed, not all the way in the other corner of the sector, so as I said, I do hope whatever you're offering me in return makes the whole chase actually worth my time.
In other words, I'm all ears. Impress me with that "big prize" you had promised.
