"This is Ásgærðr of the Corinth Biotech and Genetics department. Due to recent breakthroughs in our experimentation with genetic and biological manipulation, we have entered a new phase in our research.
The next stages demand high energy experiments in high gravity enviroments.
I have contacted executive madam chair, Elizabeth Tate, - and she suggested moving our research aboard the Leviathan class ship "Persephone" which had temporarily been assigned to a long term mission under command of the Phoenix leadership.
We will require its unique singularity reactor to generate gravitational force fields and the high level of energy to continue our research.
This is currently just a notification of intent - as we still have to disassemble our equipment on Corinth and prepare it to be shipped.
This forward message is meant to give you plenty of time to prepare the ship and crew to a different assignment.
the following authorization code shall prove that this message and order is genuine.
Well, as I knew, this moment will come in someday, but I thought my good old friend Elizabeth back to the bridge of Hyperion, and take the control passwords back. Well then, I hope everything is okay with her, since I always find her as woman of "edge space", not a usual civilian in house space and thought she will get bored of that.
As for you lady Ásgærðr, thanks for informing us. For a long time this ship was the guarding of our lives in the wild place, known as deep Omicrons. And ship still on duty, no matter what defending our Phoenix Spaceport from Nomads raids and time to time seeking for a place which we can call home, without steel shell and life support system...
But still, we're little know about this ship, since all information about it's mechanisms, electronics was deleted in the same time with departure of main Omicroners fleet. So it was a hard time for our engineers, but in the main picture systems looks familiar to Nephilim colony ship, as far i've heard that from them. But some parts are very expensive, such as hull parts and high voltage electricity system and many things more, all of them were produced on our Livadia exclusively.
Just letting you know, ship itself working not that stable as the deep-thought Nephlim colony ship, this it's requre constant technical check. But we will always welcome you at Livadia Shipards, with already experienced personnel which maintain and repaired this ship.
But I've digressed. As I've mention, the Hyperion keep using as guardian of our home station. We have one project ongoing, which probably will able to replace Hyperion, known as Vega. It's old Rheinland batteship from 80-year war, but due it's critical damage, we had to start reconstruction for the zero - only steel skeleton left from the old ship. The work on adjustment ship systems and prepare the personnel is under way, but it can take even longer time, since it's like absolutely new ship for us, and it's can take even more time than expected.
Thus, I would like to hear it from you or Elizabeth, it's a possible to draw the blueprints of the Hyperion? Or probably Elizabeth have them? Due all respect I have towards her, I've ordered to do not copy any ship system to our own computers. Even some Zoner group asked for them, but it's was denied by many reasons, such as problematic past and go on.
So, I hope to expect your answer soon. We have to know it soon as possible, because shipyards are currently busy... Well, as always. So many things should be prepaied, and new extension of Livadia will allow us to speed up it's capabilities of ship construction, and move administrative corps to the Palace. And shipbuilding itself... may take decades in such remote region as Omicron-74.
"I got into contact with ms Tate immedietly and was told that all our knowledge is being stored in the Corinth archives, 19th sublevel, sector 13-C. Blueprints are stored there in a datacrystal.
this is an excerpt of my communiqué:
Quote:"...key parts and programming of nanobots that are required to assemble the chemical components of the alloy used in the construction is encrypted though.
the decryption key is the following sequence
those prints enable Livadia specialists to reverse engineer about 72% of the ship. Reactor and energy systems throughout the ship are still a mystery. That is why the Nephilim is so much larger due to using substitute components.
oh and keep your high energy equipment clear off the reactor, that is what caused the explosion the last time... "
while i am at it - i and my team require you to do the following:
- erase or transfer battle logs and any combat documents from the ships computer. we cannot ensure that such date is totally safe when we depart on a scientific mission
- remove personal belongings - once we depart, it will be hard to send such items to their owners without great expense
- if possible empty the docking bays and laboratories
"according to the plans and the current schedule - launch of the ships new mission was forwarded to ETA of 60 days instead of 90 days.
while i do hope that this slight change of plans does not mess with your groups otherwise busy schedule, i am convinced that it leaves more than sufficient time to wrap things up. It was necessary to shorten the transfer time due to the critical state of some of the experiments that we are forced to conduct at the right time - in the right enviroment
if you require my attention you can contact me at Corfu station for the remaining time till the transfer. I have chosen to administer the affairs from there.
First of all, we're grateful for this decision. This matter is very important for us, since another Leviathan could server good as this one, keep Nomads away from our installations. Although, one ship haven't chances against Nomads swarms, but it'll be great additional to our homeship's fleet.
Data crystal will be transfered to Phoenix Spaceport, it'll be studied by our technicians and scientists. Although, it's question of time, we're planning to occupy what we've loose with the Omicroners, since our family is growing. The Corinth and Sparta. As I remember from good old times, it's great platforms for studying any project, such as this information.
We still don't know where to get alien materials, but I think I got some friends which able to help us.
Also, thanks for informing about time changes. We have to hurry up... The project known as Vega should be finished soon as possible.

"I am afraid to inform you that due to the developement of recent events - the transfer process had to be sped up. Actively immedietly the ship has received a change of command one month early.
Corinth research stance has put pressure on one of my teams and there has been talk of cutting funds. We had a conference with some of our other sponsors who agreed to compensate with their funding provided we would start immedietly.
As of today, the Leviathan has been launched and is en route to its destination to conduct research. Your belongings were transferred to an intermediete account. All staff and crew resides at the last Phoenix docking point at LIvadia Palace.
I must thank the Phoenix for taking good care of the ship. Ship and staff will set up roots in uncharted space to conduct isolated experiments.
