Saludos hermana de Malta,
[[ I'm not even sure if this is the right Neural-Net address... so if not, please disregard this message]]
Its been a long time hasn't it... What was it... 817 I believe? When you provided us the key into the Tarxien main chapel in the Skorba Valley if I remember correctly... The last time I saw you myself anyway, Espinosa tells me you and her flew around a bit here recently.. something about a stray ship that made its way into Omicron Beta. It's because Erika told me of this, that I now think to contact you.
*sigh* I've... I've had my hands full as of late.. running almost half the Cross myself while most of the Cardinals sit idly and enjoy their ill-gotten wealth. Who knew, that the very temple you helped us break into
would be the same place I now work day-to-day. Funny how that works no?
Anyway.. enough reminiscing; Like I said, I've had my hands full. With Erika off doing the work of the Gods down in southern Sirius, I've had to take over a few of her duties... Which now, apparently, includes handling problems... large ones to be precise.
So as to not bore: I need help. Gallia is a constant thorn in our side and I need some work done in order to better prepare the Cross for any and all attacks that oppose the word of the Spirits. If this sounds like something you're interested in doing, contact me back at this address.. my public one is monitored by a few other people and I'd rather keep this between us for now...
Adiós, compañero antes de que los dioses,

My friend, it has been a very long time and yet, your memory still serves you well! How are you? I hope you're well. After my accident a couple of years ago I've only just recently began flying again and to be honest, I've missed it quite a bit. I've been needing to get out and about for a bit. I've spent most of my time recovering in my Mothers Ranch.
I've been wanting to fly with you boys for ages, you don't know how eager I've been to get flying again. Before I accept anything, I'd like to know what more this entails because I don't fancy charging into anything again. I learnt that the hard way.
Anyway, I am very interested in this. Give me the details and I can see what I can do. I look forward to flying with you again.

Saludos hermana de Malta,
You look... different, from when I last saw you. A welcome change, worry not, but different nonetheless. You uh... you look good, is what I'm trying to say.
Regardless: sadly you won't be flying with me personally. Fighter combat was never something I never quite grasped. I'll occasionally take command of one of our transports or hitch a ride from place to place, but that's about all. I mostly stay either on Malta at the Temples, or in Orbit at Valetta in the Cross Command wing.
Now, onto the job itself:
Have you ever taken a close look at the behaviors and movements of an insect? How they move, and perceive their surroundings? Most of them rely less on sight, and more on antennae, "feelers" effectively, to understand their boundaries.
This, is what I need from you. Someone to go get a feel for the landscape of Gallia, and more specifically, Gallia's defenses.
I don't expecting us to be launching any armadas into Gallia anytime soon, but it is always best to know what you're up against. Gather me what information you can on them; How their patrols work, their ranking structure, their ship's information and load outs if possible.
Any little bit of information you can find, would be a major help.. But again, thank you for doing this. You're saving me a world of hassle.
If you ever need any backup, I'll give you access to the Cross Emergency Frequencies. Any and all logs you can obtain should be forwarded to the Command Center in Valetta. I'll attach the Neural-Net address with this message.
I assume you have a vessel of your own, but I'll look around, and see if I can find one open for you to use in the event ya need it. Now head out there and see what you can find... thanks again.
Adiós, compañero antes de que los dioses,

I'm flattered! It's such a shame that i will not be flying with you. We've really got to go flying together soon. I just hope that the pilots that'll be babysitting me aren't jerks! Anyway, i have just set up a connection in Bretonia and this new connection shall help me with my new task. They'll provide me with some intel and I'll be helping them with a few things. It'll also bolster our relationships with the Bretonians. I will carry on reporting intel though this channel, why open another when this is fine? It's secure enough, right?

Saludos hermana de Malta,
The channel has the best encryption the Lane Hackers have provided the people of Malta with, so It should be fine.. provided nobody's getting into my PDA again. You're lucky; not even my Council assigned assistant has this account information.
Regardless, I'm glad to hear you have contacts in Bretonia willing to help. The Brets may be pathetic in an actual fight, but I'll admit, they typically have good Intel... Thats what Espinosa says anyway, what I've seen of the Brets has been pretty solid piloting.
Epsilon-wing is currently station at Cape Wrath, so holler for them if you require assistance. I'm sure you can handle this yourself but y'know... just in case.
If ya need anything else, just ask.
Adiós, compañero antes de que los dioses,

Well, thank god this channel is safe. Talking about the Bretonians, the Judicial Order have asked me to do a bit of work for them in return for intelligence about the Tohoku system. I will give you a read only authentication signature to the secure line located with this link. That is what they have asked me to do and it also shows what i get in return. Unfortunately I haven't had any replies from them yet. I hope to have one soon.
There is one thing that I might need from you. As I come to think of it, my Sabre Class fighter isn't fit for scouting and gathering Intel. I will be in need of a light fighter of some kind. Do you have any that you can give to me? I would really appreciate it.

Saludos hermana de Malta,
Going to Gallia through Bretonia... not bad, not a bad angle. Tohoku is an interesting choice as well... Keep me updated, this could prove fruitful.
Now, on the subject of a new ship, I just had a long talk with one of my logistics capitánes regarding finding you that light scouting craft...
Sadly, we apparently don't have any laying around that weren't already on rotation. Worry not however, a few minutes ago, one of my engineers came in and told me that they could piece one together from some of the spare parts down in the hangar. I gave the green light, so your craft should be ready in a few days. All ya gotta do is head for Valetta's Cross-marked hangar and ask for Capitán Rodriguez; he can point ya in the right direction.
Keep me informed, sounds like you've got a lot to do, so I'll let ya get to it.

I've just been over to the Cross hanger on Valetta and it turns out that they have already finished it! I was quite impressed. It also means that I can carry on with my mission now. I'll be heading out to Tohoku in a bit then to gather what i need, then I'll be of to the Gallic lines. I will report back here when I'm done.
By the way, i really hope this doesn't fall apart. Not like last time where i had my massive accident thanks to a ship you gave me!

Look, I was told the ship was fine, just because it fell apart, dosen't mean you can keep blaming me until the end of time.
A lot of Maltese vessels operate minus a few bolts and welds here and there... just because your engine wasn't actually attached dosen't make it my fault.
