<It is requested to take part in convention at Corsica Sanctum with a representative of the former Samarran Raiders, namely the individual known as Jared Nomak we will contact in time to make an appearance.
Its assistance may or not be required on various tasks. Razgriz Ghost in return offer a selective variety of options to any of your demands.
It is asked to contact Administration Office leaving frequencies to address it within an enclosed environment by Administrator Casta herself.>

Sender:Omer Darche, . Recipient:Kelly-087, Fantômes de Razgriz. Topic:---. Kelly,
Through video, audio, and text logs I've come to know who you are. I'm Darche, and shall be the representative of our mutual friend.
From what I could find, we have been in contact with the Ghosts' in the past. I'm not too sure of the exact status of the relation between it and you, though if I'm chosen to go to this little meet and greet of yours I'm sure it will fill me in. Before anything is decided though, I'm going to have to ask questions. We don't really have the resources to have the main craft bus me over there, and my own vessel is light on travel. You will need to explain the subject of this meeting, what is demanded, and what is offered. Bar telling us that, there isn't really any point for us going out there. I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but that's the policy I'm to follow.
As for frequencies, I have two lines. I'm currently using a relay in Omicron Delta, which you now have by proxy. The other is out in occupied Gallic space, ping the Edinburgh system around Perth Station. I'm using a Royal Navy box for Neural Net communication, so make sure to tweak your systems for that. I'll be looking for a reply.
<Zero-Eighty-Seven, Kelly. We are authorized by Ghost Administration to further execute communication with you.>
Subject Darche, O. is confirmed as substition for the entity referred to as Vatan.>
<You are taken to convention by assigned squadron either on maltese ships or yours escorted to destination point.
Attendance is required on Echelon leading way to conversion of mankind within the boundaries of intented development by the Human Evolution Project.
Demand is your unquestioned, unrestricted cooperation and involvement into military grade tier-One research to maintain insight and assistance in overwatch of highly fluctuating processes.>
<It evades our reason we have to outline requested information on the returning outcome for the entity you are the substitution to as intelligence on the subject is already part of what is termed Mindshare. Have yourself filled in by it.>
<For power. For Ishmael. For the Ghosts.

Request denied.
We do not act under the "authority" or "guidance" of others. We cannot agree to unquestioned assistance in any matter, and will not act as some puppet for you. We do not know of this Human Evolution Project, nor understand purpose of all this. On the topic of the mindshare, as you call it. I'm not gifted with the seed. You also seem to lack knowledge on how it works at all which is sad to hear. The node I serve doesn't have the energy to waste on trivial things such as this.
Come forward with a better demand if you wish this conversation to continue.
'Hoy. Excuse my [our] intrusion but it seems I [we] am [are] needed here as you will not get far with Kelly. You both share a similar attitude, you know. Some sort of understanding in a conversation does miracles, contrary to the genuine belief of the Razgriz' soldiers. They call me [us] Avril, former Legionary extraordinaire and quite good at that, I [we] might add. I [we] am [are] basically Corsicas resident processing unit, in some way. Actually Sarah is, but we are quite one entity since several years now [Eight-One-Nine]. I [we] understand you got questions and do want your attendance backed up by a valid reason, so I [we] though I [we] will get around to you getting you the picture. But first I [we] have to excuse for Kelly again as she tends to assume that people are on the same level of knowledge as she is, which usually is not the case and therefore leads to major misunderstandings.
With your unquestioned cooperation and unrestricted involvement is rather ment that you are asked to contribute as a transmedium to the entity they call Vatan. Which leads us to the point that we ask you to tag it along, if possible. Its abilities or insight into processes might really be needed. With having you as sort of compiler around, I [we] think this actually might work.
Now where to start with the H-E-P. The Human Evolution Project as part of the Echelon endeavour Gabriella set incentive for and 'Stefania built the working basis to. It is ment to bring mankind towards the next step of human evolution by first conveying the mind to connect with a virtuality and later to communize with a network of such individuals.
Basically like me [us], just many more of me [us], together. But this is just the first action taken on a long run to what finally is expected the outcome. From what I [we] know, the final goal is to transform the human mind in a way actual influence by a Keeper is a mere matter of a flick. As far as I [we] have the information, and I [we] have all the information, project Echelon as a whole is to connect as many people as possible with each other. Keeper influence can then be done from within the shadows, unseen and away from any public eye. It is literally creating a working machinery for them. A machinery working on its own and regulating itself but when the need arises, it will stand as a united front to fight for whatever it is that they might be needed to fight for. Without any questioning.
This is really intriguing, to say at least.
Anje could explain that really well but I [we] heard she was not seen for a while now. Nevertheless, call me [us] back. I [we] will handle you from now on.
Kisses,

Not going to lie, it was getting annoying trying to talk to that other one. I can do the Lights, but heavily manufactured speech? Not easy.
So I'm going to put this in simple man's speech to make sure I got this correct. You basically want to make a mechanical or virtual synapse system much like that used by the seeded, or as the Vatan uses. Now that is something that we can't help with. Their technology is far beyond that of mechanical means, and to try and merge the two would be a useless effort. They have better versions than what any Human can try to make.
And here begs a question. Even if we do decide to help you, why should we? What do we get out of it? The advancement of humanity isn't our goal or even a subject that is considered. The current governing body in Maltese space is already doing more than enough for our needs. The best we can do is send a shell to you as an adviser, but input into your process is not guaranteed. We aren't a charity service, they work entirely different than Humans. You want something, you best give something of greater or equal value.
'Hoy again. Do not make me [us] want sending Kelly to deal with you again. I [we] got actual work to do, you know?
However, now that I [we] am [are] already communicating with you, let us continue this rather nice exchange of thoughts we had before, shall we? Lovely. Now where have we stopped our conversation? Looks like the Mindshare changed its mind over the course of the last year and had forgotten to send us the memo. Because what you state does not sound like what is within the video/audio-logs on Corsica. I [we] find it rather exhilarating that they still believe we humans cannot actually achieve something of their magnificence but that surely is within the eye of those observing to behold. Well, that was not said quite right, they behold and observe, like, all the time. It is mainly what they do. Sitting back relaxing all day watching time and space float by and pass. I [we] space out. So back to topic.
As Kelly stated you are given a shopping-card for whatever it is you desire. Or like she said, -a selective variety of options to any of your demands-. That really sounds an awful lot manufactured, you had nailed it quite properly.
But as it would cost me [us] all day to list the choices you have, just tell me what you want and I [we] will get around to it. You can also just send something else over to our place and we will make use of that then. We still could use you as compiler, so feel free to be invited.
Anything else? Hm, if what the Cross does for Nacion is well enough for them then we really have separated in our definition what the Maltese have to become to endure the next centuries. But I [we] will leave that decision up to you, not going into that argument. I [we] will see you around.
Kisses,

Ours took it "Avril Parker"-named wanted a formal conversation about the possibilities of a give-and-take situation. Ours does not care for your idle humanistic threats, hostile social cues, or questioning of the Lights, a subject Yours could never hope to understand. Nothing Ours uses is a toy we can throw your way and Ours are not a tool for a human cast, regardless of whatever mechanical systems Yours uses. Discard desire, adopt requirement. Yours must do that if you wish this to continue.
'Hoy to the new one. Having a formal conversation with me [us] is something I [we] rarely get people wanting to have with me [us] , mostly because this usually is not quite possible. Nevertheless I [we] shall try.
It would be really kind of you to let me [us] know who I [we] am [are] are dealing with now. Do I [we] maybe have the honour to speak to the entity they have listed as Vatan in the archives or are you just one other substitution I [we] am [are] to work with for the fact that direct communication eventually is not what I [we] can expect? You see, I [we] am [are] into numbers and that but it is not a very sincere conversation when you got one party hiding their mediator.
On a more unrelated note do I [we] find it quite amusing to have you come at me [us] with threats, cues and questioning given that the previous guy I [we] have spoken to was not really exempt from just that, and so are you it seems. But we will not let that get between us, right?
I [we] do understand quite anything remotely logical but there always is some topic I [we] might not have looked into yet. So I [we] would be exceptionally interested in anything you have to share that was not on my [our] list so far. You should try it, maybe I [we] am [are] in for a surprise.
Adopting requirement is said ecstasizing to the point you had me [us] question if I [we] am [are] not talking to Kelly. Speaking of her, what she offered is what the Razgriz' have to offer. Maybe the research on enhanced potency of Liquid by interlinking deeper with the human nervous system catches your interest, maybe you want to see about the methods and technology to adapt it for areal effect and diffusion on a particle level. The possibilities of the variety you can choose from are endless. I [we] do not know and sure will not presume to know what you might want or desire. But I [we] can assure you that if you have a special need or request, we will get what you require. We do not know any boundaries and there is nothing known to mankind we cannot achieve or get in possession of.
You will have to let me [us] know what we can possibly offer in exchange. I [we] cannot read your mind. Yet.
Kisses,

Yours speaks to the label made for us by human concept. The name of the exiled castle belonging to a long forgotten directeur.
Statements made by Yours is of interest. Regardless of outcome and without restriction, Ours offers a shell to attend and absorb knowledge of the Maltese "experimentation". Ours supports none of your actions, though with observance that opinion may change. As Ours offer nothing but presence currently, Ours shall demand nothing but insight in "Razgriz"-named operations. Ours offer advice in the sake of "Razgriz" understanding. If Yours offers an unlimited demand to us again, you ask for the Void.
