This is not a scam, despite all appearances. I spoke to Nathalie some days ago, who mentioned she would be issuing support for the highly confidential project we are beginning to develop. Given the attached comm you provided, this confirms her statement of support, though also raises some flags.

Before I provide any information regarding the project, your comm seems to indicate you are not too familiar with Nathalie? Might I ask who you are, and your background? She would not have sent you to me without good reason, but given your word choice I'd like to inquire a bit to ensure we are on the same page and can move forward.

My apologies then, as I wrongly assumed you and Nathalie were acquaintances. Though given your background, I can see why she reached out to you. Quite impressive to say the least.

I will provide you with some small details to whet your appetite so to speak. Advances are constantly being made to provide technological advances for military and civilian use. New cloaking technologies, jump drives, reactive armor plating, etc. But what about advances on a more biological level? We create armor for protection. Why not bio-engineer skin to react to an impact and cluster cells to protect vital organs? We build machines to lift heavy materials for construction. Why are we not providing these manual laborers the enhanced strength to lift such on their own? Of course these are but examples, but the effort I am leading is to delve into the possibilities for organic advances, which includes cloning of the samples created in our labs and see what can be achieved. I know what was just mentioned is nothing new. But my team has the ability to realize such extravagant theories and ideas, and we are setting up a facility to begin such work as we speak.

Should the above be of interest to you, come to Freeport 11, and I will have someone meet you there to bring you to our facility. I will provide warning though. This effort is strictly confidential and should you accept, you will be provided with information and knowledge I promise you is not found at the University of Cambridge. As such, once at our facility, leaving will be prohibited until our work is complete, in order to ensure the project details does not fall into the wrong hands and our work used in a manner that would have disastrous effects.

I do hope you accept this unique opportunity, though I will not hold a grudge should you refuse.

Please forgive the delay, and the extra week you have spent on Freeport 11. I hope you were treated well, and accommodations provided were up to your liking.

I will be arriving at Freeport 11 tomorrow, and will be ready to bring you aboard to journey towards our destination. I hope all your affairs are in order Prof. Martinez, because I foresee this project taking quite some time. I again am grateful you have agreed to assist us in this ground-breaking work, and once we arrive I believe you will understand the excitement I have to begin.
