I am Colonel Gerard Lefevre, head of logistics of Parisian Revolutionists (PR). We are a Council side-branch, and we operate in Leeds, Bretonia, and the Taus to stop the Gallic war machine. A BPA executive told me you are dealing with the things I'm about to mention.

A PR battlegroup with my lead was patrolling in Tau-29 recently. After a few hours of boring routine flight, we encountered a pirate fighter and freighter heading to [REDACTED] jumphole, and refused to stop even after several warnings. We fired cruise disruptor missiles at the ships, then tried to question them about their intentions and destination, but they immediately responded with hostility. After a minor skirmish, both ships were disabled (my guncam took a direct laser hit, and the electric feedback fried my flight recorder, so no proof is available about this incident); the freighter's hull cracked open and the content flew out into space.

Initial scans showed massive power emanation from the packages; My gunboat was recently modified to handle "sensitive and dangerous" materials, so I pulled the crates into my hold. After we took them back home, and our scientists opened them under isolation, we discovered they contain alien power cells and biomatter.

As I mentioned, we can ship these kind of items safely, though our research lab and base is not yet fitted to handle or store them. I hereby would like to offer them for the BIS for research purposes. The cargo in question is 5 pieces of some kind of "derelict artifact/power node", and wreckage of 5 alien gunships.

We would like you to choose the place of the cargo transfer, as you can evaluate the most secure place more effectively. The time is not yet decided, and it depends on how our security wing is available, because I'd like to take a few escorts with me to provide maximum security.

We do not require any payment, but as you know, we have limited resources on this side of Sirius, so if you offer financial reimbursement in exchange for the cargo, we shall not refuse.

I'm looking forward to your answer.

As I stated, all data about the incident was lost due to that unfortunate shot my vessel took. If I had any intel, I'd gladly share it with you. These materials are far too dangerous for general pirates to handle. I already informed our patrols to double check every suspicious ship in that sector.

Since my previous message, I thought up a possible payment method, but we shall discuss that in person.

Most of our patrol ships are busy at that given time, so I'll meet you alone or with a few fighter escorts. Godspeed until then.
