*A Big figure stands in frame, adjusting his tie as if made uncomfortable by it.*
Good Evening Miss Wolfe. This is Rear Admiral Lower Half Romeo Darkbeat, officially representing the Liberty Navy 46th Strike Force.
It has come to my attention that your organization had some... *he half-smiles*energetic feedback last time we jarheads tried to hire someone to help us with science.
Now you probably don't know me yet as I'm a recent addition to the 46th High Command but I've been given a rather sensitive role in the Strike Force, and that role was to be supported by our R&D division that is being a bit delayed despite the efforts of *He looks at some papers as to check if he's sharing classified information or not* Oh yeah, you already know, Admiral Van Leer.
So far your agents and my soldiers have had all kinds of interactions from mild camarederie to your guys laughing as my guys were being shot at 4 v 1 by Rogues, but I must admit I might not have the whole story. I don't think I have to make it perfectly clear that we are not only allies, but in the theatre of war *he raises his closed right fist* be plain old naval warfare in open space or *he raises the his open left hand* the kind of secret war you are probably waging all around Sirius, combined arms and coordination are KEY to victory and for the survival of DEMOCRACY...
*He lowers both hands and his tone*
Sorry, I forgot I wasn't taling to my recruits for a sec. Anyways, my intention with this proposal is that we iron out any potential issues between our organizations, share important intel that is relevant to both of us and that we might get your help specifically in recon technology.
In return we can offer camaraderie, access to a few friendships we made along the way and the support of some beefier guns against our enemies. Like we used to say back in old Earth, "Ex Scientia, Tridens". Through Knowledge, Sea Power. That means power to protect the taxpayer in space too, I hope.
To be clear, I don't have the power to out-spy you nor do I plan to. I'm talking the Recon and Intel that happens before orders are shouted from capital ship bridges and Heavy Mortars are fired. Specifically, we were working on a way for our RECOIL light fighters to be operated safely from inside "the wire" of our heavier ships, instead of putting our brave soldiers' lives in the thin hulls that the Liberator-class can provide.
In any case, despite your capability or willingness to help on that specific project, I'm here offering my good faith and the chance to visit us at Salt Lake to discuss further details whenever possible. Your operative Jiraki is familiar with both me and the coordinates.
We have a great cook and don't worry *he points to himself in a very "Dad" way* I'll eat first so you know it's not poisoned.
I hope we can figure this out soon,
This is Admiral Darkbeat, out.

Greetings Admiral
First of all, I am well aware of who you are, I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I didn't.
Now on to business, I am not 100% sure of what you are requesting from us if I am to be honest. Do you require our intel or our tech? The former can be agreed on fairly easily. What we would require in return is military support and firepower. As you may or may not know, we are spooks, not soldiers. (Well a few of military experience, including myself) It is in our directorate to not get caught with our pants down so to speak. We do what we can to defend Liberty and her borders, but with the help of the Navy, we can achieve this much more efficiently.
So to summarize, I just need clarification on what you are asking and in return you give us your mighty firepower. That is all.....
Julia Wolfe,
Director of Intelligence Liberty Intelligence Agency

*The Admiral is standing in what appears to be the bridge of an Overlord-Class Dreadnought. This time, he's wearing a plain dark blue shirt instead of his uniform*
Afternoon Miss Wolfe. Silly me, I should have imagined you would already know who I am, with your operative Sanjo Jiraki in constant contact with us.
It's also goo to know that you mean to talk business, and I apologize for my confusing rethoric earlier, as I needed to cover my bases here. Now we got the formalities out of the way...
My plan is simple
*As he speaks, blueprints and specifications of several 46th capital ships, including the "Ulysses" Overlord, the "Lemon" Atlantis Carrier and the "Montpelier" Interdictor are shown on screen*
We can offer the support of not only the thirtheen turrets of the LNS-Ulysses plus the help from the rest of 46th Admiralty AND their Capital Ships, but also the support of gunboats, cruisers and Battlecruisers since I heard that apart from your mobile base, you don't seem to own much big hardware. We are also very invested in the Nu Border, with a full bomber wing stationed there.
*A Navmap of Omicron Nu, appears, with spec sheets of 3 Waran Bombers next to an arrow pointing to the Oregon Surveyor. The video feed then returns to the Admiral*
As I mentioned before, my division is responsible for the Recon and Intel of the 46th, hence the name RECOIL, and we are planning on making the work of our operators safer and more streamlined, so I envisioned that since your organization is much more science-prone than mine, we'd ask you for cooperation that could benefit both. I already have reports that the Liberator-Class Light Fighter is permorming wonders in scout work, being that fast and nimble, but I'm also worried about it's hull not being enough to protect them in the frontiers where it's work is needed.
So my request is for cooperation between our two organizations do develop and implement a way to operate those liberators remotely, therefore making sure we protect the lives, and info, held inside them.
I also noticed you ignored my offer to visit us for lunch and discuss details in person. Maybe a sparring session spikes your interest more? I know you have a busy schedule but I'd like to know our friends face to face. Or you can send Sanjo as liaison if you want.
Hope to hear soon from you, This is Romeo, out.

Greetings Admiral
Very interesting proposal, remote piloting of light fighters.... That would save many lives, especially when deep space and uncharted regions. As for your offer for dinner, I would have to decline and send Director Jiraki in my stead, he can take it from here. While I do love science and studying, I do not have the time to actually enter a science lab, let alone run one. I will open this channel to Jiraki and keep this comm line active. Keep me informed of your progress. That is all...

Good day, Darkbeat. Yes, that is an option, having drone light fighters could be incredibly helpful for the RECOIL project and for us at the LIA. I see some issues that we need to work out, but its viable. You might need Gammu AI assets, and we might need to outsource to GRG or a neutral science group, but it can be done. When can I head to Salt Lake?

*The Admiral is in a Gym, dressing rtraining robes, in what appears to be West Point Military Academy. There is a slew of apprendices sitting on the mat, with Jiu Jutsu gis that have the 46th logo on them.
He tries to keep a serious professional look but it's clear that he is excited*
Morning, spyboy.
It's good to know that you're down to business. You heard your boss, I hope. Let's work on this... wait, hold on one second... Guys, I need to take this one, be right back.
*He stands up, bowing to his students and leaving the mat. He then proceeds to an empty room*
Okay I'm not in a place where I can talk openly and loud as I'm used to but I got your idea. Don't worry, I always get comms with headphones on, no need to go hunting the boys in West Point, they heard nothing.
*The Admiral sits down*
Now, where exactly do you recommend we get those... "assets"? Also brief me on what the GRG could help with. I'm scheduled for a meeting at Salt Lake tonight from 19:00 to 20:00 ST, so either before or after that is fine by me.
Either that or we can meet where on that... dark place I showed you a few days ago. That's where my little operation is located.
Anyway, let me know and let's meet. Bring coffee.
This is Romeo, out.
