I just received new information. I'm afraid you won't need to search for her any longer. We're currently discussion how to deal with the current situation. As for now, the contract is stalled. I will inform you once I have more news.

As you wish. I'll keep my eyes on this communique for the next while though in case you find yourself in need of a detective again.
I would love saying "It was a pleasure doing business with you" right now. I'll save that for another occasion when it fits better, however. Considering this was the shortest contract I've had so far.
Yours sincerely, Knight Captain Voigt
The Forlorn Hope
I think I might have a job for the Forlorn Hope. Don't worry, the contract is stable this time. I would like the Forlorn Hope to scout Rheinland for me. I need a complete map of both jump gates and jump hole connections. It is not a secret the Corsairs somehow manage to get from the Omicrons into Rheinland. I want to know from where they do that, as I only know the Sigma-15 connection from Rheinland to Omicron Rho. The Forlorn Hope will receive a payment of 50.000.000 Credits for a detailed map of jump holes and jump gates, their locations, best routes and an activity analysis of both Rheinland's lawful and unlawful groups. The jump holes don't mean much if they are heavilfy defended by certain groups, if you understand what I mean. The point of jump holes is using them to be unseen.

It was only a matter of time when we hear from you again, Red, wasn't it? It's good to see that you have apparently found another job for us, indeed.
Rheinland has its own troubles at the moment, at least from what I heard. The inhumane gas attack on Alster, and the anew germination of the Bundschuh movement are all currently fumbling around with the House. You can't call me surprised that has caught your attention as well.
We will see what we will be able to spare to do the mapping jobs. Currently, we have other operations going on as well in different regions, which could cause a slight delay if things turn out unfortunate. However, I can assure you that we will get to the job as quickly as possible.
How would you want to handle the data transfer, by the way? Knowing you, I guess over this or another Neural Net channel will be out of question.
Yours sincerely, Knight Captain Voigt
The Forlorn Hope
one of my agents on Freeport 9 in the Omicron Theta system will approach you at the hangar, should you come. You can hand the data to it.
I didn't hear any news from Rheinland. What happened there? The latest information I got was about a jump hole anomaly in Sigma-13. Can you tell me more?

I am not acquainted with the whole set of facts to tell you what exactly what has happened in Rheinland lately, but I guess I have heard to give you the short version of a probably much larger story.
To cut it short, there has been a gas attack on Alster Shipyard, a Republican Shipping base in the Hamburg system. The Unioners have already claimed the onslaught to be of their machinations, which doesn't surprise me much to be honest. Their radicalism however has done so, as the massacring of hundreds of innocents will further alienate public opinions to the disfavor of their movement.
Additionally, while I was in Rheinland the other day I managed to intercept a public statement concerning the attack on Alster, apparently coming from a new Bundschuh organization trying to become public. All this leads to my assumption that Rheinland will probably face a more troubled future than I suspected, with more unlawful entities on the rise and others strengthening their publicity through brutal attacks.
That is all I know about the matter. About the other matter at hand: as soon as we got the job done you asked us to, I will inform you to send your agent up to Freeport 9.
Yours sincerely, Knight Captain Voigt

Apologies for the delay in message. Of course I am alright, what else would you expect from me? However, a different matter has demanded my full attention lately, thus I wasn't exactly able to take care of this business.
As long as you can guarantee me that you don't intend to do any kind of overly shady business in Rheinland, I will make sure to send out a survey team to map the more relocate locations Rheinland has to offer.
Yours sincerely, Knight Captain Voigt
