Franz,
I still can't believe that you sent me off to deal with your Outcast friend while you flirted with that Order pilot. She's never gonna be into you, man. She shot you down at least twice while I was listening, and I'm sure you kept going, even after we were out of comm range. But that's alright, because you did me a favor. I learned a lot from that meeting, and your buddy - "Shadowwalker" - was very informative. I don't know if that's his real name, but that's the ID he was transmitting. I will have to assume you know who I'm talking about.
Anyway, he wanted to apologize for his recent forays into spying on the Unioners. Apparently, he's a very curious fellow, and can't help himself from wanting to listen in on our high-level meetings. In fact, he admitted while we were talking that he listened in on large portions of the protected peace talks that I was privy to while escorting the Arbeitsdirektor the other day. I can't say I'm surprised, as his ship's technology is pretty impressive, but I don't know how the Unioner leadership will feel about the idea of something so critical being spied on by someone who wasn't welcome. I don't even know the proper channels to report that sort of infringement. Should I talk to Stefan, since he's my CO? I could use your advice.
In addition to his apology, he also got around to the reason he wanted to visit you. In exchange for all the intelligence data he has shared recently with the Union, including the information on Harmony's movements in the Omicron systems, their potential alliance with The Core, and their fighting with the Order, he wants something from us. He's looking at a dreadnought engine. He believes the Unioners can design him one that will operate off the ship's power core alone, and requires no other resources. As you know from me talking about my parents, I'm no technical expert, but I thought we didn't share technology? I mean...our tech is our pride, Franz. I don't know if it means anything to you, but the idea of sharing the tech with a Maltese - or anyone, really - seems weird. But, that's what he asked for.
That being said, he was very helpful. That question that you asked me the other day that you didn't know anything about? He had a LOT of information to share about it. I want to talk to you about it too, get your opinions, but it's not safe on any open channel, no matter the encryption. We need to meet in person, so we can discuss it over short-range comms, so there's no risk of an intercept. Send me your patrol schedule, and I'll find out when we next meet up.
Until then, stay safe. Let me know what to do about the Maltese - both his invasion of Unioner operations, as well as his tech request. I'll do whatever I can to help you, my friend.
Stay Safe,
Hunter
