Dear sir or madam,

I'm sending you this message on behalf of Cryer's Research & Development department, as the sovereign legal entity in the Omicrons, to inform you of our interest in a species of space-borne alien organisms local to Omicron Zeta.

According to a sample size brought to us by a field agent, it appears that these organisms have similar biosignatures to the ones found in Baffin. That means we could potentially harness them to make products that help breathing in harsh atmospheres, such as the one on Nauru.

While we're aware that The Core discourage meddling with anything alien or non-human, we do strongly believe the potential of this particular lifeform could be beneficial to Humanity. Therefore, we'd like to ask for your approval to establish a research station in Omicron Zeta for the purpose of storing and studying these organisms. We would also very much appreciate your protection in this hazardous area, as there are several hostile entities with clear intent to sabotage such an installation.

We're eager to learn more about these organisms, and hope to gain your official approval for this project.

Guildmaster Daniels,

The rules you presented perfectly align with our intentions. Cryer will accept these terms.

Due to the dangerous location of the base, I'd like to know whether The Core are able to offer additional protection during the construction period or any future sieges. My gut tells me that certain parties, The Order included, would rather not have a Liberty-based corporation settling down and "stealing" their resources in what they unrightfully consider their own area of influence.

Money is no issue, if that's something you're looking for in return. We really want this project to succeed and we're willing to do whatever it takes.

Guildmaster Daniels,

We've surveyed the area in search of a fitting place to construct the base, and our field operatives have noticed unusual Outcast activity in the area. Particularly near the derelict colony ship, which is the epicenter of the organism cloud in Omicron Zeta. I find it very peculiar that the moment we agree on terms, suddenly there's a spike of Outcast activity in a system where there's recently been little to none.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pointing my finger at anyone. I do suspect, however, that our communications might have leaked. I have to make sure the construction can go through with as little interruptions as possible. Can The Core possibly provide protection against Outcast attacks? I know you're on neutral terms with them, but I need to know what my options are.

Guildmaster Daniels,

I'm using this channel again to inform you that according to a report from our security division, it appears that the Nomads have noticed our construction project and are interested in wiping it clean off the map.

Your assistance in defending our assets from the alien threat would be very much appreciated, as we do not have nearly enough combat ships to defend it on our own.

Guildmaster Daniels,

Establishing an emergency communications channel sounds like a great idea. In hindsight, we should've done that earlier.
Unfortunately, our base in Omicron Zeta has been destroyed, and we'll have to let the winds cool down a bit before we resume our operations there. We were lucky enough to get the chance to evacuate before the assault. A predictable outcome nonetheless.

Let me know whether you'd still like to proceed with the emergency channel.
