Nobody probably cared to tell your college that you do not just ''contact the Rogues''. It is like calling a frat party and expecting that the drunk who picks up the call happens to be the owner of the house.
My name is Andrew Mort, though you can call me whatever you want for all I care. I am sure you are not interested in our titles of rank and hierarchy, but you can just regard me as the man tugging the most strings within the Rogues at this point in time. For you that is a good thing, because my boys out there are going to provide you and me with the tech you so desire.
As far as what I want in return, I will offer you the same little deal I had with one of your many predecessors over the last eight years. As you no doubt know, the Rogues in Liberty are not known for their high grade equipment. Armor plating is makeshift and our scanners are better at microwaving our holo-dinners than picking up potential enemies and cargo.
However the APM and anyone else in the Nomad Worlds...well, military-grade armor, shield generators and other ship peripherals are something you expect
as a minimum. Tell you what, we provide you with the items you are looking for and in return, I get to deck out my more skilled boys with that sort of gear.
That alone would be beneficial for you as well, considering the danger of fighting those things and the survivability such an upgrade would bring.
