Nodtviet,

My name is Brandon Wright, I am a reseracher with the Igenuus Research Group. Earlier today I met up with one of your vessels, Core|Grand.Rose.Petal which informed me that you would be the best man to contact with regards to my proposal.

In short I study spacial distortions, better known as "Baxter anomalies". I have it on good authority that one or several of these objects exist within the Omicrons. While I have been able to conduct the majority of my surveys in the safety of my vessel I have found it rather, difficult, to survey certain locations. Namely, Omicron Zeta, Omicron Mu, and Omicron 92. Therefor I propose the following.

The Core will provide my vessel with escorts for three separate mapping missions to each of the named systems. In exchange not only will a monetary bonus be paid out to the escorts the Core itself will also be paid for providing said escorts. Additionally should we find a Baxter Object another bonus will be applied as well.

What do you say?

Mr. Wright,

Under the conditions you have set, The Core would be delighted to provide an escort in your attempt to research this anomalies. However there is one more condition: We would also like access to the research data you obtain from these anomalies, for our own researchers to analyze privately. Our reasons for this is that greater understanding of these anomalies may prove beneficial to The Core.

I await your response.

Guildmaster Nodtviet,

I would be delighted to share the research information gained on the scans of the anomalies, should we find one. I want to make it clear the last time one of these objects was sighted in the omicrons was over 3 years ago.

On a separate note, I would like to extend the offer to you to have a small group of your own scientists join me on my vessel during the expeditions. I'm sure their local knowledge they will prove invaluable in helping my own team chart the area.

My team has already started working on the mission profile, our first expedition will be to the Omicron Zeta system. I'll have the exact mission details soon.

Guildmaster Nodtviet,

Expedition FH-118 will be an intensive scanning of the Omicron Zeta system. Specifically all of the asteroid fields.

Objective 1

---

Entering Omicron Zeta from the Omicron Delta Jumphole the group will first proceed towards grid D-8 in a standard search pattern. Once reaching the edge of the field the group will circle back and move towards grid A-6.

Objective 2

---

Provided that an anomaly isn't encountered the group will then move to the Omicron Rho Jump Hole and then proceed towards grid H-1. Be advised the Omicron Iota Jumphole contains hostile patrols.

Objective 3

---

If nothing again is found the group will then move towards the final, rather touchy objective. Leaving grid H-1 the group will pass over the Omicron Minor Jumphole towards grid B-1. Once reaching the way-point the group will turn towards grid A-4 and pass near the Omicron Mu Jumphole. Finally the group will proceed back towards the Omicron Minor jumphole along the final unsearch section of the field. If nothing unsual is encountered the group will then proceed back towards Freeport 11. Obviously objective 3 is well within unfriendly territory.

---

Once we've returned to Freeport 11 my team will start to analyze the data, a final report of the expedition will then be written up. For your services the guild will be paid in the amount of 80 million credits. Each escort will also be provided a sum of 8 Million credits each.

Rest assured the payments will increase on our next expedition to more unfriendly places.

Mr. Wright,

Wonderful then. We can dispatch some of our scientists to accompany the party on the expedition. We'll ensure that our best will be at hand to provide security.

I'll brief the selected pilots on the mission report. When we have prepared for the expedition, we can arrange  the time and date of the patrol over encrypted protocools.

Guildmaster Nodtviet,

Expedition FH-118 has been completed as per our agreement. However the expedition failed to find the location of a Baxter Object.

Before I get into the bulk of my report I wish to applaud the Core| for its escort services. I felt far safer than I normally do when performing these sort of surveys in deep space.

---

Objective 1 Results: survey of the Chuuk Asteroid Field

The Chuuk Asteroid Field appears to be the remains of a planet, a quick analysis of the debris indicates that these asteroids contain many of the same compounds that are present in Planet Magur.

---

Objective 2 Results: survey of the Pohnpei Asteroid Field

The Pohnpei Asteroid Field comprises of many of the formations typical for the Edge nebula region. There also appears to be alien organisms within these asteroids, but as of yet the economic value of this field is unknown. Additionally towards the Omicron Iota Jump Hole many nomad patrols were encountered. Strangely enough while we were outside of a 10k range of the Jump Hole the patrols appeared to actively ignore us. Further study is required.

---

Objective 3 Results: surevey of the Yap Edge Nebula

This nebula contains nothing of economic or research interest. Given the Orders heavy use of the area further study of this region isn't recommended.

---

While the expedition didn't return any positive results of Baxter Objects I can at least rest easy knowing that this system has been cleared. While before I had thought that the next expedition would be going to Omicron Minor my most recent research indicates that Nomads and these Baxter Objects are somehow tied together. Definitive proof would be required though, which will require a search of the Omicron Iota system. You'll hear from me again soon once the next expedition is set up.
