Greetings sir. I've been informed that I should invite you to the expedition to the
Omegas through IMG's R&E channel. The expedition will be mounted on 25. of
March 819 A.S., but if you are very eager to do it it can be mounted today after
ten hours from when this transmission will be sent to you. Due to extreme
sensitivity of this expedition, I'm expecting a reply within 12 hours with all the
information about you, your previous work, field of expertise, resources at your
disposal and most suitable time when you'd like the expedition to be mounted.

If you unfortunately fail to respond in this time frame, I'll be forced to hire a
team of experts and mount the expedition myself together with the escort I'll be
in the need of.

I'm eagerly awaiting your response. Arin out.

Guten Tag. Expedition? Count me in. I'm glad to help you in your scientific expedition. My field of interest is Astronomy and nanotechnology along with . My previous work wasn't easy: Expedition to distant parts of Sirius Sector.... Hot places I'd say...but have great potential.

Resources.

Nice bird for any kind of expedition. I've spend a lot of time to improve it. With ist's scanners you can be sure that we won't miss anything important
