Esteemed Doctor Holiday,

Recently I have been reviewing our archives and found an over two years old file concerning certain business arrangement between you and our organization, represented back then by Professor Brutus Clay. As far as I know Ms Elektra King was to send a team of our technicians to help you in improvement of the replicator. Since the report was partially corrupted, just out of curiosity, I would like to ask you about the outcome of this enterprise.

However, this is not the only reason of my communique. In your transmission dated two years back you sounded like you were always looking for a way to improve medical capabilities of the famous Med Force One. It is possible that I might have something of interest for you. Ever since we started experimenting with new mental conditioning techniques based on use of neural amplifiers coupled with modified hypnotainment bands of our design, we have learned a lot about influencing and modifying one's mental state. While this technology can be utilized to inflict abominable damage to the subject's psyche, I have no doubts that it can also be used as a powerful treatment method for numerous mental illnesses, ranging from simple personality disorders to severe neurogenic dysfunctions. I offer you access to half a dozen Aurora Chairs, as we call them, as well as support of a small team of our technicians and access to our research database on this subject.

You must be wondering what is my motivation behind this offer? An educated person such as yourself should have no illusions that the Lane Hackers are a charity organization. Furthermore, from the purely academic viewpoint, you might even despise me and what I do. Out of respect for your work, I will not be selling you a story that even though I am a Lane Hacker, I am still a scientist. Make no mistake, I expect full access to the results of the trial tests performed by your personnel. And let there be no misunderstanding here, what we will use this knowledge for will not always be to your liking.

Are you pragmatic enough to take up on my offer?

Kind regards,
Nicole Hunter

Kallisti, Professor,

It is an honor to hear from you. I will start by saying yes, I'm always looking for ways to improve medical services for Med Force Enterprises, Canaria Medical and for other places I provide service.
This device has greatly improved the life quality and saved the lives of countless Zoners and yes, even others that it has been used to treat. My team has since improved upon it to where it is a multi-purpose device being able to perform deep tissue scans, diagnosis and has been improved upon it's original purpose, refurbishing the deep tissue scars and burns to victims of fire and explosions to the point where not physical scars remain. I do, however, keep it limited in it's number of available units. I kind of enjoy keeping a limited market on it.

You have my curiosity on these Aurora chairs that you speak of. You say I can use them to help those with mental illness. I would find these devices of great interest. Six units would be about right. One per Med Force ship, one at Canaria Medical, one here on Shasta and one for a place to be determined later. I would like to meet with you to learn more about them and finalize a transaction.

Professor, I respect that you're a scientist which is why I think we can mutually benefit each other. If it is access to results of my work that you seek then I don't have a problem with that. Do let me know if there is anything else I can provide your organization.

Lastly, if the device I have been using now for some time is an indicator of how good Lane Hacker technology is, I think I stand to benefit a great deal from this.
I await your response.

Many thanks,
Dr. John Henry Holliday

Kallisti Doctor Holiday,

I propose meeting on Planet Baja's orbit in Coronado at your earliest convenience. I have a ship ready for this task. Meanwhile, I am sending you copy of a standard interrogation report to analyse possibilities of the Aurora Chair. The basic premise is that the patient should be given a strong chemical inhibitor to achieve a state of external sensory deprivation, while the modified hypnotainment band coupled with our neural amplifiers is serving as a non-invasive interface directly providing the patient's cortex with chosen images and sensations generated by our software. I must admit that even though we have devoted a lot of effort to improve our virtual reality programming, while being hooked to Aurora Chair, one can still sense superficiality of the felt experiences. To overcome this obstacle we tend to use weak psychoactive drugs in order to increase patient's susceptibility to suggestion. I think that from this brief introduction it should be obvious that possibilities of use of this equipment are limitless, from the most basic treatments of phobias through gradual increasing of the fear factor in the controlled virtual environment with the possibility to suppress unwanted emotional reactions, to much more complicated scenarios. The key ingredients here are the completely controlled virtual environment and ability to suppress or incite basic emotional reactions and sensory experiences directly on the spinal core level. The thing is that besides typical academic knowledge on psychiatry and behavioural conditioning we are complete dilettantes in this field. That is why we would like to see how professionals in the field can utilize our tools - that is you.

Should you have any more questions, I will try to answer them when we meet.

Kind regards,
Nicole Hunter

I found your report to be most interesting to say the least. I found the points about the Rheinland military presence in Liberty to be of interest. Although it was only once and quite a long time back, I had two Rheinland agents in U-boat gunships come into Baffin asking a lot of questions. They wouldn't leave until they were.....escorted out by a cruiser and fighter/bomber wing. I haven't had a problem since and oddly enough, Nomads were in their questioning. At the time, I had only started researching Nomads.

Professor, I may have more information on Alice DeFrance if you need it. I'll dig through my files. I have some DNA samples from the late Aurelia DeFrance and one of Joseph but no others for now. I can send those to you if you need them.

I do find this chair very intriguing. I have used halo tainment bands on patients needing outpatient surgery as an alternative to anesthesia with great success so I can only imagine how much better the chair will be.

I'm in the middle of some work right now so once finished, I will make my way out to Baja. I will send you a message when I'm able to get out.

With thanks,
Dr. John Henry Holliday

Kallisti Doctor Holiday,

While this data is no longer news to anybody, as the alliance between Liberty and Bretonia is in full effect for months, any information that could fill the gaps in dossier of our princess' and other high profile actors of this drama will be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Nicole Hunter

Dear Mr Holiday,

I am afraid that the time window for this operation has expired. Our Equivocator has returned to base and the resources we reserved for this enterprise have been directed elsewhere.

Kind regards,
Nicole Hunter

Kallisti, Professor,

I apologize for missing the time gap. I do think positively when I say that I have little doubt that our paths will cross again. In fact, I'd like to work with you and your research teams.

As to the Alliance between Liberty and Bretonia, I'll keep my eyes open and filter what I may find to you. I'm pretty well connected throughout Sirius so I'll "keep my ears open."
