I hope this message finds you well. I am Lawrence Preston, and I represent several individuals, entities, and trusts throughout Sirius in my capacity with the Division. With the recent calm that has generally fallen over the sector and the attempted assimilation of the Gauls, we find ourselves lacking resources you may be able to provide. The Division formerly had certain agreements with other Sisters that, for a time, proved worthwhile in our efforts to keep certain cogs and wheels greased, so to speak, and I have been authorized by my clients to propose a renewal of those efforts, which would be out of the Division’s expertise.

On behalf of its clients, the Division would offer consideration up to $25,000,000 for information gathered from any native and foreign corporate vessel within Kusari and its surrounding systems; we would expect such to include transcripts containing target identities, commonly used routes, cargo scan information, destinations, and any information concerning a target’s associated corporate entity you may be so inclined to extract. Of course, information on military, intelligence, and political activity may be significantly more valuable, and compensation would be increased appropriately. Once information gathering as to a particular target is complete, the Gen’an would, of course, be free to deal with said target in whatever manner it sees fit. We would also require advanced notice of any terrorist activities that may affect the Division’s currently limited assets in Kusari. The Division does not oppose or support every possible event across the sector but merely seeks to be aware of them. All of the above shall be subject to a particular level of discretion by the Cell.

I will keep my personal communication lines aboard the Judgment open at your convenience should you wish to discuss further.

Yours,

Lawrence Preston, Esquire

Astute questions command respect. While I certainly hope to dispell concerns you may have, I'm afraid I may not be able to do so entirely for reasons beyond my personal control. The Division has a long history of corporate nonsense that, I suspect, would fail to satisfy your interest. I, however, have a limited role focused on discrete asset management and legal advising. I ask few questions of my clients while existing solely answer theirs. As you can imagine, and indeed as you suggest, some assets are rarer than they may have been previously. We find ourselves well-stationed with some and lacking others. Times of conflict and migration are typically predictable from our standpoint, but such is unintuitively not so during times of relative calm.

Let me assure you, neither I nor my clients are concerned with involving ourselves in long-standing political disputes. What may come may come. Perhaps stated more appropriately, what may come should come. On behalf of my clients, however, I would simply like to be in an appropriate position to "insure" what needs to be "insured" if and when circumstances necessitate.

Your final question is perhaps the most revealing. The short answer is unknown to me, and it is also outside of my representation with the Division. Indeed, the same question could be asked of the Gen'an as its agents will, of course, learn the same information. How the Gen'an chooses to use it, however, is of no interest, and I would not presume to demand entitlement to it. In its simplest form, we are both obtaining access to the same...details. The only difference being a small movement of credits between accounts.

In your favor, I may add.

Yours,

Lawrence Preston, Esquire

It appears ghosts are abundant in these times whether based on inaccurate assumptions or pre-existing biases. That being said, I understand things change, and old relationships are not longer favored for whatever reason. A shame, but if the Ge'nan choose not to share their personal operations, then we can simply remove it from the proposal. I do not seek to undermine your devotion to your members.

However, if you have no interest in renewing our previous agreement with your predecessors, then my apologies for taking so much of your time.

Yours,

Lawrence Preston, Esquire

Certainly no offense intended. We all have our necessary due diligence, but for trust to be earned, it must be provided opportunity. The Division's offer remains without the necessity of the Cell sharing its own operational prerogatives, so feel free to take whatever time may be necessary to discuss.

And you are, of course, always welcome on the Judgment should our paths cross.

Yours,

Lawrence Preston, Esquire

We are the Independent Neuralnet Division, a former branch of Interspace Commerce. The Division found its home somewhat lacking in the past. In it's simplest terms, my part in the Division is to manage the financial resources of a certain clientele that seek to make specific investments with different individuals and entities anonymously. In my representation, discretion is paramount, and I expect the same of my clients and our partners though never the two shall meet. The Gen'an has caught the interest of some, and thus I have reached out to you on their behalf.

Please consider me to be your primary contact for successful interdiction and information-gathering activities, and consider this channel open to your Sisters as well for the distribution of funds. Should any particular source of information be more appropriately discussed in person, the Summary Judgment is open to you at your convenience. Best of luck to you and your Sisters, Matriarch, and I look forward to renewing an old relationship with new partners.

Welcome to the Division.

Yours,

Lawrence Preston, Esquire
