I'm unsure who among you is the most technically minded so I am trusting this transmission will get where it needs to go. During our salvage operations we frequently run into the problem of vessels that are structurally sound but are unable to fully take advantage of this due to the amount of crew required to operate these ships. It is my hope that you may be able to utilize your technical knowledge to create appropriate software that is able to significantly cut down on the crew required. With this capability we would more frequently be able to simply repair and move some of the more lightly damaged ships instead of having to transport them in pieces. I would be willing to pay in credits or return the favor in services if desired.
I look forward to a favorable response.

It is good to speak with you again Mr. Blackfriar. Just to again restate, our intentions here are to enable us to operate larger vessels with a reduced crew requirement until they can be returned to a proper shipyard for repair or disassembly, whichever is found to be more beneficial. In the case of ships in combat zones or hazardous regions these vessels would have power restored to engines and moved to a more secure location in system to ensure thorough salvage operation. Because of that it is hard for me to give you a definitive answer regarding the vessels make or manufacturer. Given that each manufacturer is likely to do things in different ways and our own salvage projects are currently focused on certain areas I will at least provide a list of vessels that are currently within our interest.
-Scylla class destroyer
-Hel class cruiser
-Hellhound class gunboat
-Rheinland produced vessels of gunship and larger excluding the Bismarck
-Kusari produced vessels of gunship and larger excluding the Tokugawa
-Tridente class gunship
-Bretonian produced vessels of gunship and larger excluding the Dunkirk and Invincible
-Core produced vessels of gunship and larger excluding the Mako
-Gallic produced vessels of gunship and larger excluding the Valor (I wish we could take one of these apart, believe me.)
I understand this list contains some of the most advanced vessels in Sirius as well as a few of the least advanced. I assume because of this that some of these can be done relatively soon while others might take months or may even be deemed impossible.
Regarding defects, a good part of the list I have given you is quite speculative. In some cases we have yet to even encounter specimens intact enough to be worth salvaging for more than the basic metal. The reason for this project is to prepare for the case where we may be presented with an opportunity to salvage or perhaps even study these ships in detail. I am sure as a man of innovation you can understand my concern over missing such a chance if we are presented with it. Hopefully sooner or later one of the many conflict zones will yield such an opportunity. Ideally when that happens we will already have the software needed to override certain safety features, optimize diagnostics of the ship systems and any other improvements that you feel may be of use.
I understand what I ask is quite monumental in scale and would not hold it against you should you decide to decline. I promise if you choose to accept though that the rewards will be equal to the challenge.

It is good to hear from you Mrs. Felicity, I sadly do not believe I have had the pleasure of dealing with you. You are indeed correct in the assumption that the goal of this project is the development of software capable of easing the burden during large recovery operations. To further clarify, while I do have utmost faith in anyone chosen to represent the Lane Hackers I also understand that such an undertaking will likely require special equipment in order to properly function. I would not ask the impossible.
With that said, how has the progress been so far? Should it help I believe we could feasibly send our salvage teams further abroad in order to locate wreckage that may provide insight into the workings of some of these vessels.
