To 'Deceiver' Weisen.

Your request has been directed directly from The Order Overwatch to me, as acting commanding officer of The Order intelligence in Western Sirius. If the order will be given, it will be pilots from my squadron that will seek to your safety during this unusual 'trip'. Through, we also have some questions to you.

We know a good deal about remains of Daam K'Vosh scattered about Sirius, as well aware of jumpgates of their design. Now, in general we do not share knowledge or locations of those artifacts - active or not - unless deemed necessary by The Order Overwatch itself for concerns of safety. This means you have had discovered it on your own accord or gained intel from those who already possessed that knowledge. We would like to know more, naturally.

Secondly, what interest holds curiosity of Lane Hackers to this device? Is it your own initiative or directive of your own superiors? Whether you know it or not, with or without armed escort you are putting your life in great danger... especially when alien FTL portals are concerned. Admirals made it clear to question the specific purpose of this endeavor. Our commitment will as you no doubt understand, depend on your intentions.

Finally, it is more of a preparation for my own agents... Concerning what potentially we have to deal with. While understanding between Hackers and IMG is clear enough to us, there is insufficient information available to us concerning how would Colonial Military react to your presence. While improvising is part of skillet required in our line of work, depending entirely on that and luck is a folly we will not commit to. Getting involved into unnecessary combat is not on our agenda here.

I am leaving nothing to chance if I can help it. Do bring help just in case, and so we will mobilize fighter force for our own security. You may say it is redundant, but if something big, bad and ugly emerges from the jumpgate you will start to appreciate additional firepower we can offer almost instantly. Those are Admirality's specific instructions, quite sound considering our past 'adventures' with this and other Daam K'Vosh / Slomon K'Hara objects Sirius-wide.

You may get yourself killed otherwise, or worse. Curiosity killed the cat, so people speak. While hopefully you are not this type to plunge carelessly into a trap for betterment of science, The Order's mission was always of vigilance. Despite object 'behaving' like a jump gate, it is completely alien design, which of you have no experience with. We will make sure nobody does anything we will all regret. I am instructing necessary personnel to converge towards independent worlds between Houses of Liberty and Bretonia.

It may sound restrictive, yet in practice it should be quite easy. It all comes down to proper communication on site and proper assessment of risk involved in your own words. We will meet soon.

I presume meeting can be called complete success. Despite interference from colonial battleship and Mr Rogers (while at it, I get impression you two already met?) you've got the necessary data. Do not worry, Admirals entrust people like me in capacity of commanding those 'potentially problematic' individuals. I just may reconsider your idea about putting him first in a recon party whenever we need one...

Now, unfortunately Mactan opened up due to automatic defenses supposedly recognizing enemies of the Outcasts. If you want to talk further, Invergordon and Barrier Gate Station are viable options. Freeport 4 is just too damn crowded with its position on the trade lane network. I may or not bring Agent Kunieda along, she's dependable wingman in both skill and filter between tongue and brain.

I am not sure where you get your "advice" from but I suppose you are right. Still I will not deny an intelligent conversation. I will accept any location within Liberty as long it is not a host to bigger than usual population of Liberty Rogues. I always feel like my brain cells are committing suicide one by one whenever they are involved. Leiden is quiet installation of yours, not too far from Liberty core systems. Less people to notice me the better, specially that I do not wish to cause unnecessary issues with Outcasts who have no reason to love me any more than rest of The Order... But back to the business.

We thank you for the document, it matches our records with exception of a jumphole in the outer Coronado system. Too unstable to even let probes through, it may as well have dissipated already as far we are aware.

System in question, according to Sirian star charts is Tau 117, codenamed Drake more in line with independent worlds surrounding House of Liberty. Uninhabited by any human beings, our sensor data indicates presence of several gravitational anomalies on erratic orbits around host sun. We have attempted to breach system several times, but infested patrols make it impossible to scan this solar system in detail we are comfortable with.

Candidates for redirection are unlikely to be found in suitable stable range unless Slomon K'Hara will attempt to build another object in or within neighborhood of independent worlds between Liberty and Bretonia (aproximately 10-15 light years radius, compared to standard Terran 5 LY). For your knowledge, there is number of functional jumpgates of this class remaining in deep Omicron space connecting Nomad installations with one another. Faster Than Light travel on distance between Drake and central Omicrons requires... bigger, more powerful gate in simplest terms, despite already terrific power output of what you seen in Coronado. We speak of equivalent of Texan experiment or higher "grade" portal of DK design.

To summarize, potentially affected systems include populated systems like California and Newcastle, the latter being under observation due to vast patches of unexplored nebulas.
