Chasing starlight since 829 A.S.

There is quite a bit to read, but the short story is the Maltese Hyperspace Fleet, which I'm sure has a somewhat more official name, is now well aware of our operations in the Tau-23 system. I did try to keep the door open for future research together but we won't know till we ask. So with that in mind is there anything cooking anywhere that they might be interested in fully funding for us? They seemed pretty excited about our hyperspace cartography. But in the same breath they also told us they pull their own surveys. So maybe not as many credits on the horizon as I'm currently daydreaming and drooling over. Either way check out the attached flight recorder and let me know what you think. I'll be busy over here counting my chickens before they hatch.

[05.09.2022 21:25:45] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Uh, ahoy Outcast, er, Crayter
[05.09.2022 21:25:58] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Saludos, Aurora Borealis.
[05.09.2022 21:26:23] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: What do we have here? Another scientist looking for anomalies?
[05.09.2022 21:26:47] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: To a point, we also perform hyperspace surveys on demand as well
[05.09.2022 21:27:05] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Is that how you pay your own operations?
[05.09.2022 21:27:27] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Well that and of course selling the data we have analized on the open market, turns a pretty penny here and there
[05.09.2022 21:27:52] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: But uh, to be more blunt, yesterday it was the Britonians, the day before Kusari Police, now /you/
[05.09.2022 21:28:00] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Did I miss a memo or something about Tau-23?
[05.09.2022 21:28:17] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Well, this is our space, after all.
[05.09.2022 21:28:46] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: And I would never want to claim /anyones/ space, I just, well usually...ah never mind
[05.09.2022 21:29:07] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Good, make sure to continue with that thought.
[05.09.2022 21:29:15] =CR=Splinter: i wont
[05.09.2022 21:29:35] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: What is this? Get out of here, crayterian.
[05.09.2022 21:30:00] A bounty pool worth $36.000 credits for 1 kill has been deposited in your account.
[05.09.2022 21:30:25] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Fine. If you do not want to leave, we will just kill you instead.
[05.09.2022 21:30:32] =CR=Splinter: you are welcome to try
[05.09.2022 21:30:42] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: See, violence isn't always an answer, but it certainly can be a /solution/
[05.09.2022 21:30:46] Death: K'Halaesh was put out of action by Chi-55 (Gun).
[05.09.2022 21:30:59] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Not that I approve, but who's to argue with that cruiser
[05.09.2022 21:31:01] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: You do not even have the firepower to take us down. You are just wasting fuel. *grins*
[05.09.2022 21:31:46] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[05.09.2022 21:32:22] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: In any case, conversation will be ceased for now. Until that crayterian leaves.
[05.09.2022 21:32:41] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: So I'll be honest, its been a number of years since I've seen hide or hair of the Outcasts, how's, er, /things/?
[05.09.2022 21:33:11] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Well, casual talking would not hurt, I suppose...
[05.09.2022 21:33:29] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Hair of the Outcasts?
[05.09.2022 21:33:35] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Care to elaborate on that?
[05.09.2022 21:34:08] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Wordplay, you know, haven't seen a single hair, of them in awhile, then again its been years since I've come to the Tau's
[05.09.2022 21:34:13] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: So what do I know
[05.09.2022 21:34:48] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: We do frequent patrols on the Taus, that's no secret.
[05.09.2022 21:35:04] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: If you have not found us in numbers, we are doing something right, then.
[05.09.2022 21:35:35] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Indeed, uh, looks like your friend is looking for some /attention/
[05.09.2022 21:35:43] L\-MNS-Asuncion: Now back off, Crayterian
[05.09.2022 21:35:54] L\-MNS-Asuncion: Weapons hot. Targeting!
[05.09.2022 21:35:55] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: It is wasting ammo and fuel.
[05.09.2022 21:35:59] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Cute.
[05.09.2022 21:37:29] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Well, he's gone. Out of standard sensors.
[05.09.2022 21:37:40] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Strange little fellow
[05.09.2022 21:38:14] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: In any case, si, zoner. We usually conduct operations around here.
[05.09.2022 21:38:32] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: That has not changed in years.
[05.09.2022 21:38:47] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Good to know, like I said its been /years/ since I've been here, golly, must be almost 5, 6 years now
[05.09.2022 21:38:49] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: We have to keep safe our borders, you know.
[05.09.2022 21:38:59] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Oh can't argue with that
[05.09.2022 21:39:29] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: And what did you do on those years?
[05.09.2022 21:39:48] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Oh worked here or there, did a stint for Ingenuus Research Group, went around the Omegas
[05.09.2022 21:39:58] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Finally linked up with a new Zoner Research Group
[05.09.2022 21:40:03] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Recently founded
[05.09.2022 21:40:16] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: But they, I guess, /we/ are based here in the Tau's
[05.09.2022 21:40:30] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: The opportunity of a lifetime, do I presume?
[05.09.2022 21:40:51] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Thats what all the applications say, but we'll have to wait and see whos lifetime the opportunity is for
[05.09.2022 21:40:56] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: We do not see many groups like that around here. I wonder why... *grins*
[05.09.2022 21:41:27] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: I have seen quite a bit of fighting so far, with any luck we'll be able to maintain, well, at least non shooting
[05.09.2022 21:41:32] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Relations with the local powers
[05.09.2022 21:41:36] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Good thinking. Because there is a reason why you have not been turned into dust, yet.
[05.09.2022 21:42:02] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Remember that this is Outcast space. Some of my brethren would not appreciate your long term visit around here.
[05.09.2022 21:42:10] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Oh, looking to purchase some hyperspace surveys? A word of warning, ours aren't as good as some of the
[05.09.2022 21:42:22] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Military spec'ed ships, but for civilian use are more than adaquit
[05.09.2022 21:42:27] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Fortunately for you, our organization has certain interest on this type of scientific groups.
[05.09.2022 21:42:47] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Oh, yes I know all about staying out of Alpha, the furthest we go is Freeport 10
[05.09.2022 21:43:10] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Si, that's correct.
[05.09.2022 21:43:40] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: We do not want to see visitors with survey equipment on Alpha. That would be most unfortunate, for the interloper.
[05.09.2022 21:44:03] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Like I said, memo clearly said "stay away zones - Omicron Alpha"
[05.09.2022 21:44:06] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: *chuckles*
[05.09.2022 21:44:19] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Here...let's just say that this space is...contested.
[05.09.2022 21:44:19] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: One would hope that should they be invited they might be able to take a looksey around?
[05.09.2022 21:44:41] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: And more flexible on our expectations towards others.
[05.09.2022 21:45:10] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Yes, that would be the exception.
[05.09.2022 21:45:12] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Good to know, after all not everyone is looking to become their own self made plasma storm
[05.09.2022 21:45:55] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: By the way, this is Audaz Alarcon, Alpha Explorer of Malta Hyperspace Starfleet.
[05.09.2022 21:46:17] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Our organization is composed by a sizable amount of Dons and their families.
[05.09.2022 21:46:21] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: A pleasure, I'm Doctor Bandon Wright, and no /not/ that kind of doctor I don't need to see a lump on your back
[05.09.2022 21:46:36] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: And some of our operations include scientific and technological advancement.
[05.09.2022 21:46:51] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: As I have somewhat mentioned earlier.
[05.09.2022 21:47:14] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Good to meet you, Doctor Bandon Wright.
[05.09.2022 21:47:14] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Indeed, everyones pushing the edge of what is known
[05.09.2022 21:47:42] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: What is your specialization, Doctor?
[05.09.2022 21:48:11] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: I have a focus in Hyperspace Cartography, with a focus on Baxter Object formation and potential connection to the jump
[05.09.2022 21:48:29] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Jump Hole network and of course the Daam K'vosh and their nomads
[05.09.2022 21:48:44] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: That's a wide spectrum of study.
[05.09.2022 21:49:10] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: I guess that Hyperspace Cartography is your main job nowadays, no?
[05.09.2022 21:49:28] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Indeed, I do dabble from time to time in my personal research, but if I want to pay the bills
[05.09.2022 21:49:32] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Its surveys all the way
[05.09.2022 21:49:38] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: I see.
[05.09.2022 21:49:44] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Everyone wants to use hyperspace, no one wants to get splattered on the way in
[05.09.2022 21:50:00] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: *grins*
[05.09.2022 21:50:06] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: I get what you mean.
[05.09.2022 21:50:08] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Reasonable prices too, only 10 million per survey and they are good for 30 days at time
[05.09.2022 21:50:27] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: *coughs dryly* not that I'm looking for extra funding or anything like that
[05.09.2022 21:50:55] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Well, that does not sound a crazy amount of credits.
[05.09.2022 21:51:21] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: I bet I could charge more if we had a hyper acurate array, but the cost to value, I just couldn't get the budget approved
[05.09.2022 21:51:26] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: At the time anyways
[05.09.2022 21:52:00] Tip: Are you a new player? Discovery Freelancer is not the easiest game to get your head around. If you have any questions of any kind, do not feel discouraged or embarrassed to ask them on our forum or simply approach other players for help.
[05.09.2022 21:52:30] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: We could use some of your services, eventually.
[05.09.2022 21:52:57] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Well, you know who to call, big or small we can do it all, /except what compliance tells me we can't/
[05.09.2022 21:53:03] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Some of our survey teams get busy from time to time. And we do not hesitate to take other methods of survey -
[05.09.2022 21:53:06] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: I'm assuming the motto is something like that anyways
[05.09.2022 21:53:11] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: - acquisition.
[05.09.2022 21:53:43] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Your designation is unknown to us, to be honest.
[05.09.2022 21:54:03] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: ah, well this designation is now defunct, a former research group I self funded for a number of years
[05.09.2022 21:54:23] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: You'll need to look up the Starlight Research Consortum
[05.09.2022 21:54:44] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: At some point i'll get the FoF tag changed over *chuckles*
[05.09.2022 21:54:59] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Ok, I guess it will not be difficult to find it on the Neural-Net database.
[05.09.2022 21:55:16] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Its pretty new, still have that fresh plastic on the screen
[05.09.2022 21:55:23] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Starlight Research Consortum, quite the name.
[05.09.2022 21:55:37] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: So uh, don't be surprised if it take a day or two to reply, its just me and the boss at the moment
[05.09.2022 21:55:39] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Do you have a base of operations'
[05.09.2022 21:55:56] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: I know doesn't it sound fancy, and yes we do have a base, this one in fact *gestures to the nearby station*
[05.09.2022 21:56:13] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: We've only recently moved in and are still trying to get the place squared away before telling the whole sector
[05.09.2022 21:56:50] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Ikarus. And here we thought that we should demolish that one. *grins*
[05.09.2022 21:57:13] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: I mean, i'm not saying you /shouldn't/ but I know a few whale pilots that might cry at the thought
[05.09.2022 21:57:30] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: And I don't have the right engines to power my array with tears, not today anyways
[05.09.2022 21:57:36] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Well, at least our organization will not attack it; if you want to hear that.
[05.09.2022 21:57:46] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Yet.
[05.09.2022 21:57:52] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: *chuckles*
[05.09.2022 21:58:08] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: We will see how Starlight goes in the future.
[05.09.2022 21:58:14] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: You and me both
[05.09.2022 21:58:24] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: And next time you need a survey you know who to call
[05.09.2022 21:59:03] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Word of advice, make sure to not make deals with those who we despise.
[05.09.2022 21:59:27] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: If we know that some third party operation is being made around this place...
[05.09.2022 21:59:52] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Everyone hates /everyone/ which is why Freeport 10 has done so well all these years
[05.09.2022 22:00:09] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Don't worry we'll keep things nice and tidy, wouldn't want you in to bad of a postition overall
[05.09.2022 22:00:44] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Wise man.
[05.09.2022 22:01:09] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Its almost like I want my head attached to my neck
[05.09.2022 22:01:37] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: I hear I'm a lot prettier that way
[05.09.2022 22:01:54] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: In any case, if you are conducting interesting breakthroughs; let us know. We can open a channel to Starlight.
[05.09.2022 22:02:19] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Indeedy we'll keep that in mind, and of course you know how to call if /I/ can ever help you
[05.09.2022 22:02:53] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Especially if your studies want to focus on our research, of course.
[05.09.2022 22:03:23] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Oh I'm sure we'll find something to get some funding on, you never know what might be the next breakthough
[05.09.2022 22:03:43] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Our priority is the Orange Dream, and we have some of the brightest minds of Malta doing progress on that regard.
[05.09.2022 22:04:00] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: *chuckles* Just don't tell Cryer am I rigth
[05.09.2022 22:04:11] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: *laughs*
[05.09.2022 22:04:33] Death: Raven_Zahadoom was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[05.09.2022 22:04:53] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: It is amusing how they are still alive, after all this time.
[05.09.2022 22:05:06] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: They should have been removed by now.
[05.09.2022 22:05:17] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Buddy, you give me Liberty Government funding and I'll rule the sector with a golden crown of lies
[05.09.2022 22:05:56] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Of course, and I will say clearly, we do not appreciate the type of work that Cryer is doing.
[05.09.2022 22:06:25] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Their alternative is a joke.
[05.09.2022 22:06:25] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Cryer only does whateve they're directed to do, they turned on IMG easy enough, they'll turn on their current masters too
[05.09.2022 22:06:38] Death: GC-Suzuki.Himari was put out of action by Jisatsu-tekina (Missile/Torpedo).
[05.09.2022 22:07:18] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Good for us, I guess. They cannot fight by themselves. They need government support, right?
[05.09.2022 22:07:46] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Several governments I believe, from Bretiona to Liberty, I think even Kusari at this point props them up
[05.09.2022 22:08:29] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: That seems about right, or they wouldn't be on the Sigmas for so long.
[05.09.2022 22:09:00] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: sounds about right
[05.09.2022 22:09:27] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: They have not been completely wiped out due to the different parties on that front.
[05.09.2022 22:09:54] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Not only Kusari forces making sporadic patrols, but also the Corsairs.
[05.09.2022 22:09:56] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Yeah, to many fingers in the cake so to speak
[05.09.2022 22:10:00] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: And, of course, the GMG.
[05.09.2022 22:10:26] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: But, to be honest, it is just a matter of time.
[05.09.2022 22:10:43] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Isn't just a matter of time for all of us
[05.09.2022 22:11:01] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Well, for some more than others.
[05.09.2022 22:11:11] CCG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: *laughs*
[05.09.2022 22:11:33] HS>Destino-Final: Alarcon: Our nation has florished greatly in recent years.

Ikarus repairs are proceeding apace. At present the station is around 85% efficiency. There are still a few things that the crew are working on that have been a major issue since the station was left abandoned for years, but they've got most of the major issues solved.
We're going to be expanding the base shortly after repairs are completed. The standardized model that most stations use is the "Core" model. We're going from a "Core 2" to a "Core 3". This offers expanded crew quarters and more availability for modules to be installed for things such as Hyperspace factories and whatever else we want to do R&D on. The sky is the limit!
We should be back to 100% before the next couple of days are out. After that, we expand! Ever upwards, towards starlight!

I've got a bit of a surprise for you all. We recently made some significant headway on a contracted research project with a few groups which wish to remain anonymous (those with the clearance know who I'm talking about). Well, the payday just came in, and with that large payday, we managed to get ourselves a (used) Nephilim Colony Ship.
In the coming days, weeks, and probably months, we're going to be performing an extensive retrofit on the vessel. It's seen some combat being stationed out in Omicron Delta for several years, but besides that it's simple wear and tear that needs to be overhauled. Additionally, it needs to have it's jump drive coils overhauled or replaced (Dr. Wright, that's where you come in), it's cloaking system is non-existent, and it's docking bays are a mess. It's the hope that Colony Ship Ikarus will eventually replace Ikarus Station and be our main base of operations in Tau-23 with the option to move to any place within Sirius space for further research...however, more on that much later. For your viewing pleasure, see the attached drone footage of the XCS>Ikarus moored at Ikarus Station!
More updates in the coming days, weeks, or even months.

Had another conversation with some of the Outcast folks to the north, specifically the HS tagged vessels. Seems they came across something interesting somewhere nearby. From the sounds of it, an active anomaly. They're going to go back and see if we can be granted access to the telemetry they took to see if we can make heads or tails of what they found.
Things seems to be speeding up in the realm of the anomalies...we may need to pick up the pace on repairs and development. I don't want to get left behind.

Director,
I believe it is in our best interests to reach out to our newfound friends to delve further into their request; with your permission of course. I haven't had an opportunity to work with this particular outcast group; but I am intrigued to see them focused on advanced development of hyperspace technology and research. Additionally, speaking of friends, I would like to also reach out to the Administrator of Freeport 10, nothing to serious, but a friendly hello and maybe an opportunity to get some further information on these, hyperspace Outcasts. Along with anyone else we should know about before we draw their attention or worse yet, their ire.
I will await your reply before starting communications with them on SLRC's behalf.

Subject: Update(s)
Encryption Strength: Impossible
The cloaking systems on the SLRC-XCS>Ikarus have been repaired and we are now able to properly cloak the vessel if needed in the event of an emergency. This is good news and another step towards being able to take the vessel in to dangerous territory for research sorties. The next hurtles concerning the vessel are as follows:
- Repairing or replacing the damaged Jump Drive on-board. We are currently in talks with Canary Wharf Station in Bretonia for a replacement drive and are awaiting feedback on our offer.
- Redesigning the internal power systems to accommodate the power hungry systems required for anomaly scanners. The internal arrays on-board a Nephilim are not suited for the proper install of a scanner such as the ones on a Corvo. Installing them to the power conduits on the SLRC-XCS>Ikarus would be far too risky. The potential for loss of life would be extreme if something were to go awry. We can reach out to Phoenix to see if we can't get some schematics for the Nephilim and see if there is any possibility of rewiring the internals for compatibility. If they're unable to assist, we may simply need to take apart one of the Corvo's on-board Ikarus Station and try to do it ourselves. Our engineers should be able to figure out a way, but I'd rather get the blueprints for a Nephilim first to ensure it's done properly.
- Retrofitting the existing Docking Bay modules from their intended purpose into a factory for assembling Anomaly batteries for the scanners. This will enable us to stay out in deep space far longer without the need for restock.
Once the vessel is able to do all of these things, it will be a platform meant for scientific breakthroughs.
Oh, and Dr. Wright, you're clear to proceed if you were waiting on me to confirm. Sounds like a good idea. Would be nice to meet the neighbors, so to speak. No sense getting off on the wrong foot early.

My initial contact with the Maltese Hyperspace Starfleet was met with success. We have been contracted to perform a full system survey of Tau 61 with a particular focus on Planet Hascosay. I have started preparations for this expedition, and we plan to depart with the Aurora on Monday.
Also, somewhat disturbingly, a Corsair was out and about in Tau-23 earlier toady, I've attached what little we could glean from our short encounter.

Subject: New Anomaly Discovered
Encryption Strength: Impossible
We've retasked one of our Omega-11 research vessels to Vespucci after the discovery of an unusual Baxter Anomaly in system displaying unusual characteristics. The anomaly was discovered during a routine mapping of the system for an unspecified client.
Research on this anomaly will begin forthwith, hopefully with some results as to the reason for it's unusual behavior compared to the other anomalies we've researched both in Tau-23 and Omega-11. It appears to not have the same quantum structure as the anomalies we've researched before. Preliminary scans almost indicate it as a rift in space, commonly known as a "Jump Hole" but any interaction with the anomaly results in inert reactions.
More research is required. SLRC-RV>Blind.Study has been relocated from their tasking researching the Baxter Anomalies in Omega-11 and are being sent to Vespucci to investigate. They have been approved for long term research priority and have been given advance research funding for whatever is required during their stay in system. Additionally, SLRC-HRV>Dreamscape and SLRC-HRV>Quantum.Point are being deployed to replace the previous investigations in Omega-11.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and let me know. I'll be on Ikarus Station for another few days before heading out to the Omicrons for a research investigation of my own in the SLRC-XCS>Ikarus.

Attention All Consortium Members,
It has been a number of days since anyone has had direct contact with Sailas which at first was just troublesome, but now has grown to a wall like barrier which is slowing down our operations and effectiveness. Furthermore as the Director of our organization he could be considered a high value target for ransom. As such effective immediately any and all sightings of the director should be reported on emergency frequencies to your shift supervisor who will then follow a soon to be distributed protocol. Any rumors of the Directors whereabouts should also be reported via your supervisor or team lead.
