FROM: Lucien Sarti TO:Principal Alfredo Orsini, Principal Pierre Alard, Grand Admiral Michal Golanski Subject: A joint opportunity Bonjour,
===The beginning of the message is written in an unbreakable Corsican code that appears as simply random pleasantries between Corsicans in their native language for those not-initiated:===
Don't think I need to introduce myself. I'll get straight to business.
The Order. They hunt aliens. They also hunt The Outcasts the Sirian aliens are apparently entangled with. They also have some other Sirian enemies. Juicy enemies. On even a juicier bounty board and judging by some of their fancy ships they can pay.
I am talking hundreds of potential millions in profit for The Corse, ability to send initiates to gain experience to all sorts of far flung places of Sirius for great profit, to then bring them home and destroy those who oppose us easily. And that's besides the point that they can help us fuck up the Outcasts with information on them and cardamine we might not dream of acquiring ourselves otherwise, point us to hidden places we can hit our Drug rivals where it really hurts, instead of just repelling their little dealers on our borders.
We will be just one step closer to eradicating cardamine and making Nox reign supreme in all Sirius.
The small little thing they ask for in return? Docking rights and "hospitality" to The Order operatives in Gallia, whatever that means.
Then they will be ready to do business not just with me but with your entire organization! Look - I don't give a single damn about them. Heck - some aliens? I've hunted some of them down already, they don't seem so tough or dangerous. Except the human tech fuckers we met in Baffin that is. But this is something we shouldn't be passing on.
===Normal Sirian begins===
I believe it would be prudent to allow our Order friends that fight to protect humanity access to our bases oui? We must do all we can to protect Gallia from alien influence! I can say these women and men certainly know what they are doing when hunting down the alien menace, and what greater cause can be there than to help them in their quest?
They even promised to pay us for taking down their enemies - Aliens, various Sirians and even the Outcasts! But what is money in the light of doing what is morally right - I recommend you grant them their request. I have included their Principal into this communique

Salute, Order bosses,
Gallia - and the Taus by extension, are rather close to the Omicrons. Lorraine and Provence are under attack by the Outcast scum, but also by Nomads. I searched one of our reports from more than a month ago, and it reported a Nomad warship that appeared - and was subsequently engaged and destroyed by Gallic forces, including us, and a squadron of Order vessel.
The joint force successfully destroyed the menace.
However.
The Nomad menace is still very well present, and despite the end of the Nomad War, I can do nothing else than agree with you and your operations against the Nemicu Cumunu.
As proposed, the Unione Corse will make their facilities available for your forces, with necessary amenities provided, and we will have the opportunity to start talking business with you, whether hunting alongside with you, or commercial ones - as an organization like ours, we still need to get the ammunition and other resources to our pilots.
Warning! This part of the received message seems corrupted, or is encrypted. Attenzione! Sta parte di u messagiu ricevutu pare currotta, o hè criptata. ...Missaghju decifratu...
Message displayed entirely in a sort of Corsican dialect. Similarly looking to the Corsican grammar and syntax, but is full of cryptonyms and buzzwords, undecipherable to the unknowledgeable.
Monsieur Sarti, si, you are right. Once again you're perspicacious. They will obviously propose mountains of cash against the Nomad. I doubt all their operations can cover the entirety of Sirius, especially since they're in conflict with a sort of corporation called the Core. This obviously divide their manpower and overall projection forces -- well, it's not really any of your concern, si? Anyway, merci for this, hopefully we will be get in contact. They'll help them, we'll help them.

Repeling Nomad menace in the Gallia
Good afternoon, honorable Unione Corse, my name is William Edward Storgen and I represent Order Overwatch in Omicrons.
Don't ask me how and why we couldn't receive your transmission - we are trying to re-establish the communication relay to cut off communication problems. Or, perhaps, something blocked you from us.
The Order is grateful for letting us land to re-fuel, repair our ships, and resting our agents. We are going to send the Charlie squadron to quickly respond to the Nomads threat in the Gallia space. I assure you, our men and women won't harm Gallic citizens or Unione Corse people unless because of Nomad worship. If you feel a need in knowledge about Nomads, we can meet and talk in more detail.
With regards,
Commodore William Storgen

Saluti,
Much has changed since last time we spoke. The Unione Corse has grown in power greatly, we now control Marseille, and have joined an esteemed and powerful Corsican family Les Capes Noires under a joint banner. Needless to say, we can provide you with many things on Gallic soil and are a very powerful ally to have.
One thing that we have established is the Splusione Squadron. Gallia agrees that the Outcasts, Cardamine and the aliens you mentioned are connected to them are of grave threat to all our people and Sirians alike - our squadron has been established to assist various worthy Sirians outside of Gallia, deep in Sirius away from our bases of operation.
Principal Alfredo Orsini will negotiate the details, but for me personally, since we will be offering you our hospitality, I would ask you for the little favour of helping the Unione Corse to take the fight to the Outcast and the Aliens, assist Sirians and make the vile abominations forget about Gallia altogether. For that as you imagine we need resources, and as mentioned previously having our operatives gain them through your bounty board would allow us to assist you wherever you desire and strike the aformentioned factions with great precision, instead of just trying to passively repel them from our territory.
Thank you for your consideration, I am sure the Principal will be responsing to you shortly as well.

Saluti Commodore Storgen.
You should also be aware and respectful of your boundaries. We are barely aware of what your organization is about, with public information being our main source; this includes the fact that you act as a sort of, intelligence agency: in short, know that your vessels will be observed with both benevolence and suspicion.
The administrators of our bases will leave the details to your Charlie squadron. I also need not to explain that we will NOT allow any kangaroo courts against our members under the pretense that they are under Nomad influence or worship, as you put it.
For starters, what can be considered as a first payment for the use of our facilities would be even more detailed information about the Nomads, of course. The records here are either deleted, false, or classified. Our knowledge comes from first-hand observations. We would be eager to know more through your organization.
Exchange of information will be the first step toward what I hope, great and fruitful cooperation between our two organizations.

Brief story about Nomads
Greetings, Mr. Salutini. Your request is enough reasonable and I am glad to share important facts about biomechanical creatures which have been created by Daam K'Vosh - an ancient race that existed millions of years ago before mankind could even appear. The race vanished without traces of disaster or devastating war with other races, but they left Nomads - soulless guardians who could protect Daam K'Vosh's lands from the external menace.
About 30 years ago Rheinland sent an expedition to explore uncharted territory in deep Omicrons, but they found something that, as we presume, could awake Nomads from a deep sleep and Sirius was swallowed into the global mess we call the First Nomad War.
You might think Nomads are good creatures, but they went too far in their protection aspiration. They used infected Rheinlanders to start the war against other Sirian houses, mostly Kusari. Liberty democracy has been turned into a dictatorship, Bretonia was in complete perplexity.
Once Houses got weaken, Nomads started their invasion into defenceless Sirius and committed genocide against humanity, but humans in 801 A.S., 27 years ago, managed to strike into their home system and repel the Nomads invasion. Nomads have been defeated and driven beyond the Sirius sector. But, as you can see, it was only temporary success and our enemy raises head once again.
Basic facts about Nomads:
- They can control humans by capturing them and seeding incubi - a little parasite that lives inside a human and call them The Wild. Infectees 'think' this is so-called "enlightening". Once you hear this word in your society - be careful. Nomads have chosen politicians, high ranked officers, heads of states as their targets to infect.
- They rarely attack publicly. Nomads lack the numbers to attack humanity openly and mostly use infected or brainwashed people for their actions. The Order, Zoners, The Core and various other factions and nations keep Nomads isolated from Sirius. Though, The Core tries to flush us out and destabilizes our barrier.
- Some Nomads can manipulate minds and sent visions to control or distract people from true Nomads goals.
I guess this will be enough for understanding the situation. However, if you have more questions - don't be afraid to ask.
With regards,
Commodore William Storgen
