Many salutations to you, I am Keeper Revenant, one of the representing seats in the Technocracy of Auxo.
We are contacting you in light of some information that one of your personnel have noted to us, and we understand your hushed hushed collaboration with the Royalists, as we must too. We feel it would be prudent to formalise communications with your company in light of potential collaboration in the future. We know of your competition with Ageira, and we would like to put our preference to your organisation.
One of our subordinates has mentioned this previously I believe, but there has been a recent dark matter storm surrounding one of our systems, engulfing a now abandoned and damaged 'Super Gate' of sorts. If you're interested in any of the remains, we could attempt to sample parts of it to your organisation for joint analysis. You see; we are rather fascinated by the Dark Matter storms, more so that it is a byproduct of jump technology. The 'Texas incident' was one of the many recorded incidents of such, and these storms will be a plague upon the varying biodiversity upon this sector. I am sure you have heard of the Munich storm?
[20.10.2020 21:42:16] A/)-Lamia.1: The Technocrats, as far as I am aware, is not getting monetary compensation.
[20.10.2020 21:43:03] EFL~Imperatrice: Perhaps EFL can offer something that the Enclave cannot.
[20.10.2020 21:44:16] EFL~Imperatrice: You're providing a service, it feels wrong not to pay you some sort of compensation.
[20.10.2020 21:44:32] A/)-Lamia.1: What is it that the EFL corporation can offer that the Enclave cannot?
[20.10.2020 21:44:57] EFL~Imperatrice: We have infrastructure that the Enclave does not.
[20.10.2020 21:45:36] EFL~Imperatrice: I am unsure as to what you might find useful. But we have a vast industrial powerhouse at our disposal.
[20.10.2020 21:45:52] A/)-Lamia.1: That is indeed true, you are different. But we are unsure what you can or cannot offer.
[20.10.2020 21:46:28] EFL~Imperatrice: Ships, weapons, construction.
[20.10.2020 21:46:38] A/)-Lamia.1: Sounds interesting. We can relay that on.
[20.10.2020 21:46:43] EFL~Imperatrice: Money, if that is something you desire.
[20.10.2020 21:46:59] A/)-Omegon: :: Offer backlogged, will relay at earliest convenience. ::
[20.10.2020 21:47:44] A/)-Lamia.1: Who is to be contacted in lieu of this offer?
[20.10.2020 21:48:11] EFL~Imperatrice: Director Baudelaire would be the one to speak too. She tends to handle anything Enclave related.
[20.10.2020 21:48:35] EFL~Imperatrice: Very few within the company are trusted to know of our operations here.
[20.10.2020 21:48:42] A/)-Lamia.1: Understood. We will make note of it.
I have to admit it comes as somewhat of a surprise to hear from you. I'll be forward and say that I had not heard of you before the report of our liner captain crossed my desk.
You say that dark matter storms are a byproduct of jump technology, I would refute this and say it is a byproduct of Ageira jump technology, No such incidents have occurred as a result of EFL built Jump Gates, nor are there any present dark matter storms currently within Gallia.
Now, you are not the first to approach us offering Ageira's secrets and the last group who came to us didn't amount to much more than a waste of our time. We are happy to pay for any information or technology that can be recovered and brought to us, especially those pertaining to their 'Super Gate' technology. At present we are not particularly interested in commiting any resources to an official operation within a dark matter storm.
If you do find something useful, we can discuss payment.

I am Venator Onyx Statuette, one of the seats in the Technocracy of Auxo Directorate and head of Research and Development section. I am the one who handled the “Super Gate“ survey and analysis, including the investigation of a dark matter storm in Alberta.
I'll give you a brief overview of the survey and I can send I can send you the full document on your request. First of all, the survey itself is separated into two parts: the specification of dark matter storm and Ageira's technology influence on it, and Ageira's “Super Gate” superstructure analysis.
Dark Matter specification and Alberta's dark matter storm
Albeit Alberta system hyperspace jumphole anomaly connection has collapsed several days ago and now system is isolated and unreachable, we have conducted several expeditions into Alberta to conduct our own surveys on dark matter storm in the past and we have big repository of information about system-wide fluctuations, form of dark matter and it's power spectrum.
Majority of natural occurring dark matter “fields” (as a point of reference, we'll use “Smoky Hill Nebula” dark matter field in the system of Kansas.) in the Sirius consists of “hot” dark matter with self-interacting properties which means that those fields are in the state of hydrostatic equilibrium and saturated with neutrinos thus – they are “docile” and have weak fluctuations in theirs structure. This is a reason why they do not expand.
Same can't be said about “man-made” dark matter fields. While some of the “older” fields tend to reach the state of hydrostatic equilibrium and stop expanding, they have less neutrinos comparing to natural clouds and more baryons. This yet to be explained but must promising theory is that Ageira utilizes some kind of barionic “accumulator” to make use of baryogenesis for hyperspace tunneling. Which leads to Alberta phenomena. If you look at the fluctuations map of the system, you can see very distinctive “cold” dark matter flow congregating at the location of Super Gate superstructure and it's leftover jumphole anomaly.
This can be a result of a usage of oversized barionic accumulator that lead to disturbing the hydrostatic equilibrium of a natural dark matter field in the system and this started the chain reaction where neutrinos started to spread out in all directions pulling together all the particle mass, forming the storm which started to spread in the direction of a barion mass to „even out“ the fluctuations. If this theory is right, the Sirian storms should „calm down“ in the span of hundreds or thousand years after the barion-neutrino mass balances itself out and the dark matter spreads out.
Ageira Super Gate
Despite Ageira stripping the superstructure of all equipment and hardware, leaving only bare skeleton of the construction, we can suggest the basic structure from what has been left. Boiling down all the details, main components of Super Gate were: energy coils, tunneling device and tunneling stabilizers. At some moment of time, the overcharging of tunneling device led to creating a stable hyperspace tunnel between this barionic congregation and naturally-occurring jumphole in the system of Kepler which currently has the same problem of destabilizing dark matter field.
From that information we can conclude that Ageira's technology do have a serious drawback which already had led to several incidents and wide-spread technogenic disasters, such as Munich and Nuremberg. I hope you can use this information for your own benefits.
About “payment”. Probably best for both of us that we continue this cooperation and even expand it. Technocracy of Auxo is interested in working with Gallic government and first step of our “official” introduction to Gallia would be with your help. We are planning on getting into the Gallic market with our cutting-edge technology of cyberimplants and cyberprosthesis. We'd like to offer you our a “parenting” of representing company. But this is other matter to talk about.
Give me your feedback on the data I sent you. We would like to hear your thoughts about it.

Bonjour,
I've read through the data that you've sent and I'll be honest, most of it is far beyond my personal understanding of how these things work. I've passed the data onto one of our technical teams and they find themselves intrigued by what you've provided so far. It would seem that Ageira's technology is far from perfect and is overall inferior to our own technology, nevertheless it may provide some insight into our own experiments regarding the range capabilities of a standard jump gate. I'd ask that you pass everything else you may have onto my team and they can hopefully glean some useful data from it.
You say you wish to be introduced to the Gallic Government, at present there is much upheaval within Gallia, following the end of the war and many factors currently remain uncertain and I feel perhaps now is not the best time to be making introductions. I can assure you however that once things have settled down we will be more than happy to put you into contact with someone of import who can provide you with what you need.
As for the final matter, we are open to selling new technology within Gallia, but you have to understand that EFL has a reputation to uphold and our track record for the safety of our products is unrivalled in the sector. To this end any product that would be sold through us within Gallia would have to be examined in detail and pass extensive safety tests to ensure compliance with government guidelines.
I look forward to hearing from you.

This message includes eighty-nine packages of data related to our dark matter research in the plain text. I excluded them from this communication and instead put encryption code at the end to keep the message clean and tidy. The refinement, formatting and other preparation took more time than anticipated and this is my fault.
I can suggest using this data won't be very beneficial in developing of your own technology as it works on different principals but EFL's PR team can use the simple explanation that Ageira's technology is dangerous to promote EFL's agenda in other parts of Sirius. I can imagine that toppling down Ageira's monopoly in Sirius might be very profitable but I am not expert in 'these' kind of numbers. Manipulating dark matter turned out to be a risky endeavour after all.
Anyway.
Technocracy understands current political and socio-economical situation in Gallia and thus we are willing to wait for the situation to stabilize. Meanwhile, Technocracy can provide you with test models of the commercial cybernetics which can be modified and examined by the EFL experts. These are not yet to be used in the Gallia, good thing you mentioned the government and safety standats as we didn't followed those so we should work in tandem to accomplish that. The first batch of all the models planned for Gallic use is already on the line, ready to be retrofitted. I'll await for your response on that matter so we can discuss, where and when the deal will take place. On a side note, I'll be personally accompany this test batch so I can demonstrate the more specific and advanced cybernetic technology that is being used in Technocracy.
