Salutations!
While I may be a new face in the organization, my colleagues have impressed upon me the great regard with which we hold for the Order and its personnel and I am eager to finally speak with you in a diplomatic capacity. Word from the deep Omicrons is sparse these days, however, and I view it as a great pity that we Hackers do not have more frequent contact with our brothers and sisters in arms.
Today it is my hope that we can break that silence and once again cooperate on a mission of great importance to Humanity.
Over the past year the Lane Hackers have grown concerned about the threat posed by the Oracles; that Maltese cult which is shrouded in mystery to most. Of course, our two organizations know the truth behind the mystique. The Oracles represent a renewed threat of Nomad infiltration not only within Libertonian space but to the entirety of Sirius. As such we have conducted a multi-pronged operation to identify and root out the source of this cancer once and for all. Some time ago we were able to interrogate a high-ranking Libertonian Oracle cult member who divulged certain information regarding the structure of the cult and the names and locations of its leading agents. More recently, a small team of Hackers mounted a raid on the home of another Oracle agent on Planet Los Angeles which, though it did not capture the agent in question, revealed a wealth of data about her habits and identity. Thanks to the actions of our illustrious agents, we now have information regarding the movements and disposition of the highest-ranking Oracle agent active in Liberty. She appears to be what you would refer to as a "Hybrid," an inhuman admixture of Nomad and Homo Sapiens DNA, and as such resides in an uncomfortable place beyond our current knowledge.
The Lane Hackers do not, as a matter of course, enter into any operation without proper information and planning beforehand. Therefore we request your cooperation in preparing for the capture and interrogation of this creature. Through this endeavor we hope to obtain information that not only reveals the structure of the Libertonian Oracle cult, but specific information and recorded metadata which can implicate the outsiders who we believe are enabling the cult to function within Liberty. We are willing to share this information with you, in the spirit of brotherhood and cooperation, so that we can work together to permanently bring an end to this insidious Nomad threat.
As for the main target, we are currently tracking the whereabouts of our monstrous demagogue in the vicinity of Malta, an area in which we have significant freedom to operate but which the Order will likely have trouble mobilizing the proper forces. This is why we are mobilizing Lane Hacker forces immediately to engage in the capture of this rogue element; a choice which we hope you will understand is done out of the strictest necessity. Know that our surveillance dragnet is closing in around her more tightly each day, but that we cannot afford to go in unprepared and risk losing such a prize. We hope that your cooperation can enable us to achieve a resounding success in this venture.
To conclude, allow me to outline the most essential aspects of the accord we hope to reach.
We would like all information you have regarding the capabilities of the creatures known as "Hybrids," including, but not limited to, physical, mental, and extrasensory capabilities. In order to safeguard our personnel we must be aware of any possible detail that could allow our target to elude capture, resist interrogation, or incapacitate, defenestrate, or otherwise discombobulate researchers and essential staff. That data is essential to the success of this operation, and we trust that you will allow us access to everything we need.
Related to the prior request, we also wish to retrofit one of our laboratory spaces to contain and interrogate this "Hybrid" in a safe and effective manner. We defer to your knowledge on the Nomad threat in this regard, however, as we have little information on the necessary defensive measures to take when dealing with one of these elusive "Hybrid" creatures. It may be best to conduct negotiations about this separately, as our implementation of the containment plan relies heavily on your Nomad data.
What we are offering is the capture of a "Hybrid" specimen of tremendous authority in the Libertonian hierarchy as well as the Oracle cult itself, snatched from the very maw of her protectors in a region which would otherwise prove a significant logistical challenge to the Order.
We are also offering significant information to aid in the dismantling of the Libertonian Oracles, something which I am certain you have a vested interest in doing. This aid includes all information recovered about the Oracles hierarchy available to us (including information received during the interrogation of the target), information regarding our pursuit of the organization thus far, research data on the "Hybrid" individual, and evidence about the outside forces who have conspired to spread this vile cult in Liberty so that you may take your investigation where we cannot.
We hope you find this offer acceptable, and look forward to further cooperation with our colleagues in the Order.
Thank you for your consideration.
Regards,
Maxwell Tarn
Addendum: I have also been asked to notify the Order High Command that the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee branch of the Bundschuh political movement has cooperated with the illegitimate Libertonian oligarchy and the traitorous Libertonian Navy on multiple occasions. They act, against all reason, to the detriment of the citizens of Liberty and to the great disappointment of the Lane Hackers. Due to their repeated transgressions they are banned from Liberty until further notice.
