Director Erzie's sudden disappearance might be related to Vonclouds appearance at Freeport 11. We got into it outside of 11 earlier last week and he made it plain to me that he was deeply troubled by our defensive actions around Corinth and made it sound as if he was planning on taking our research center from us. Here I'll include a bit of the conversation.
[03.12.2017 16:38:49] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: Commodus you need to move your ship away from the Freeport
[03.12.2017 16:38:50] IRG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Commodus, land or clear the NFZ, you cannot be this dumb
[03.12.2017 16:39:07] 2017-12-03 16:39:05 SMT Traffic control alert: COMMODUS has requested to dock
[03.12.2017 16:39:10] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: God Damnit, can you just not be hostile with everything you do
[03.12.2017 16:39:23] Order|CV-Inquisitor: Mark: Rho? Why the hell would we go there?
[03.12.2017 16:39:27] IRG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Well maybe if there was a real freeport administrator who was taking care of the station
[03.12.2017 16:39:38] Harbourship.NewDawn: It says that this is the fastest way to reach Omicron Mu.
[03.12.2017 16:39:40] Order|CV-Selket: Mark: I can offer to take that position *Laughs*
[03.12.2017 16:39:45] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: Right, that is enough, if you have issues, go
[03.12.2017 16:40:06] IRG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Go where Von? Wingspan still hasn't settled the issues with Cornith
[03.12.2017 16:40:13] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: We have an Administrator shes doing her best to try and deal with alot of Diplomatic Mines
[03.12.2017 16:40:25] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: I dont care, im fed up with the IRG and their attitude in general
[03.12.2017 16:40:30] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: All the time you are just making things worse
[03.12.2017 16:40:58] IRG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Really? Its a damn shame that the CoF is dependent on IRG for capital ship support
[03.12.2017 16:41:13] IRG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: And of course you don't care, Wingspan doesn't care, no one cares
[03.12.2017 16:41:16] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: How delusional
[03.12.2017 16:41:18] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: no i dont
[03.12.2017 16:41:31] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: Im inches from telling the IRG to do one quite frankly
[03.12.2017 16:41:46] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: Id rather have stable relations then your Capital shios
[03.12.2017 16:41:46] IRG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: Oh really, what are you going to do, place a vote that we'll override?
[03.12.2017 16:41:54] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: Who said it would be a vote
[03.12.2017 16:42:06] IRG|Aurora.Borealis: Brad: You certainly can't kick us out, we have enough administrators on our side
[03.12.2017 16:42:11] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: You think so?
[03.12.2017 16:42:21] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: you dont even have control of Corinth anymore
[03.12.2017 16:42:27] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: your not AS valuable as you think
[03.12.2017 16:42:48] {CoF}-The.Kaldra: Von: in fact, the IRG have been more of a thorn in our side then anything else
Now it might be a bit early for me to break out the tinfoil, but I would start with him before we go about accusing half the sector of kidnapping. After all who else would possess the necessary codes to override Freeport 11's security net without a trace?
The Gryphon departed Ames late this afternoon with Gold Crew, the engineer team assigned to the Unity Project. We proceeded to jump to the Omicron Delta system, we then moved toFreeport 11. After which Gold Crew and their equipment were transferred to the Freeport. When re-fueling was completed we returned to Ames with a sampling of Iridium for the boys down in the lab.
While I understand that my sabbatical was unplanned I wanted to inform you that I have returned to Bethlehem to restaff the Aurora. In the short term in addition to my staffing issues I'm going to be running a full shakedown of the Aurora seeing as she hasn't moved in the better part of three months. Besides the news that I've caught wind of down at the bar are there any other pressing issues that need to be addressed?

Brandon Wright,
Good to know you're seeing to making sure the dust mites stay away from the better side of our group. As for other pressing matters, we've actually had a sustainable level of success with our operations as of late, and fortunately, I don't have any tasks to assign, nor would I like to. I believe all of us are self-motivated enough in our ways to find a particular fancy where we can push the limit and progress mankind further. If you need anything from me, just let me know.

Dr. Chandler has enlisted my help on a hyperspace project he has in the works. A Hyperspace Drone Swarm to be more exact. While the main research done body has been completed and fitted with the necessary jump devices we are lacking in a power source that can maintain the hyperspace field for the necessary amount of time. I was hoping to get your permission to have the Production Manager at Ames tool a set of Power Cells that will fit into the chassis of the drone for the continuation of his research.

Brandon Wright,
Certainly, I'm sure you are familiar with the rules concerning those things. I'll have a set pre-approved for your use. They'll be ready for you when you arrive.
Best of luck.

This is Martin Lawrence, new member of this organisation. As not too long ago I've acquired a new ship, a R1-Series, P-"Lich" Edge Worlds Very Heavy Fighter, I'd like to request clearance to Corinth Research Station to apply some modifications to my vessel.

Martin Lawrence,
You need not introduce yourself, nor be formal about addressing anyone on the board. "Doctor Erzie" is perfectly fine. As you learn to stretch your legs, and learn the ropes as it were, feel free to take on any project you wish. We have several delivery contracts open if you find yourself with some free time, and if you'd prefer to focus on fighter engineering, such as on the vessel you suggested, simply document your discoveries in our lab section. You're free to do as you wish, just let me know what kind of madness you attempt before you attempt it. Just don't put Ingenuus power cells on every hardpoint, and you should be fine. I'll have Corinth prepared for your arrival.
Best of luck.

Martin Lawrence,
That set of supplies should be relatively easy to obtain. I'll delegate a team to deliver what you require, and I will inform you when we have everything in place.
Best of luck.
