Amy West. Always a pleasure to hear from a familiar face, and with some remarkable news at that.

I had no idea that the Andraste was even among the survivors of the last battle, but seeing it arrive has inspired some ideas. Quite a few, actually. Can you give me a recollection of when you saw it last? I can have a technician pull the black box. I'll also send some medical teams to come down to analyze the crew and see what their condition is. We'll do an analysis and reference the last time we had outfitted it to determine whether we can bring her back up to fighting speed or not.

I'm sure her old Captain would be happy to know his ship has remained tried and true, since leaving The Order.

Oh, and before I forget - I've got an Inquisitor for Prometheus that has cleared its refit process, and it should be readily in your hands soon.

I'm sure we can find ways to benefit each other in our mutual endeavors. The Technocracy specializes in manufacturing high-grade and often hard to come by, sometimes experimental weaponry. Should you need anything in particular, I can have Aether work out the details of getting the manufacturing wing started when their queue is cleared.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm thankful that the Andraste has made her way home at last. Our familiarity with this ship goes back a long time. I only need to find a place to handle the work, so that the Citadel is a bit more freed up from this long list of refits we've got ahead of us. I'll also have my people comb that black box thoroughly while we assess the situation. Moreno and what's left of his crew have made it into the hands of our medical staff. Barely seventy people, and they made it this long on their own? You led a resilient force, even after the end.

Let me know if there's anything else you need.

West,

A thruster assembly isn't out of the question. There could be potential for you to seek out the Independent Miners Guild for getting one. They might even snag a fresh one right out from under Crayter's noses, which'll cut down the time it'll take to get it from anywhere else. The alternative is I bring some back through the Omegas when I ship the Andraste down that way.

In terms of weapons, it depends on the role you're looking to fill. PPACs, Breakers, Blasters, Ion blasters, Maulers, Repeaters. Mass drivers, or energy weapons. Most ordinance these days are pretty standardized and easy to come by. There's more... 'experimental' pieces, which require some hefty data collection, but those we can discuss in person. If any of the above catch your eye, just let me know and I can either check the vaults or put a work order in.

Amy, sorry for the delay. I was away on business.

I can get you in touch with the Guildmaster himself. I've an upcoming operation with some friends in distant places to see to the Andraste. Perhaps you'd like to tag along for the meeting? It may prove to be a beneficial connection in both directions.

I can also put the work order in for some PPACs for the Procyon. Those ordinance batteries you're speaking of are SR-HE Unguided Rocket Batteries. Effective at long range bombardments of enemy capital-class vessels, and close range deterrence against cruiser-class. Difficult to source, but not impossible with a recently strengthening connection in Rheinland. Should you be interested in acquiring some, or the HEQ-C7MZ prototypes, we can make a deal.

In the meantime, I'm hoping you can help me solve a problem. A ship recently turned up flying the identifier 'INS-Tundra' - a Hel-Class cruiser flown by one 'Captain Jack'. Is that name and that vessel on any of your records? It has been making an effort to disrupt relations with the Zoners, and having now spoken to the Administrator of the Freeport and a member of the PLF, I'm certain they're either acting alone or an agitator from the Free Republic. Whatever intel you can or cannot provide will aid in verifying that.

Heh. We were talking about the name last night, and its origins in folk stories. It was very much on the nose and obvious.

Anyway... The operation I'm referring to is far more domestic, and involves the 55 corridor. We've stripped the Andraste down to its bare bones stealth drive for transporting it through the unstable anomaly, and in collaboration with some friends who we're passing on an old deprecated asset to we intend to traverse the connection into the Omegas to link up with the Guild. Our friends have their own meeting on the other side to reach, and we part ways from there.

I can't speak too much as to the nature of the agreement we've had ongoing, but the support the Guild is offering is crucial in seeing that old warbird operational again. The departure of the Erdhenne from our dock will free up a significant amount of space and resources for the rest of our assets, and does away with an underutilized project that took far too much resources to sustain. The familiarity with the Andraste we have from its time in our ranks will be beneficial in propelling this work forward. It's a matter of making it through the corridor safely, and ensuring that anything which picks us up on sensors when we touch Vespucci is kept at bay.

You're welcome to tag along.

As for Frost - you've helped me immensely. I'll have this problem sorted in no time. I've left note with the people at Aergia to reach out with a comprehensive list, and commissioned that turret for you. I'll let you know when it's ready.

Or logistics will. Whoever wins the race to the paperwork, I suppose.
