Your message has been redirected to me! - the sender - due to a lack of response in an agreeable timeframe from our esteemed Captain. Protocol dictates that I provide a soothing melody while you wait!
While you wait for a reply it would be wise to ask for an opinion - mine! Because if you did I would say that the recipient you are trying to contact is currently unable to respond. He is...indisposed is a very mild word!

It's been too long since I had the privilege to reach my own terminal. The delayed response was for...well, you know why already. The clock's still ticking. The clock is still ticking, but at a slower pace ever since slowed down with travelling in the Sentinels' backyard. But overall I'm still me - which is good.
Don't force yourself with the artifact. It ain't worth it. Straining yourself like that will only create more weaknesses, and neither you or I want that.

I will remain careful with the artifact. I do not wish to lose my own mind - that is why it will have to remain on Malta for now, where I remain strong, rested and healthy.
That being said, I am glad that you are still being yourself. Although my intention stands firm in abstaining from active participation in Sentinel matters, any extended period of your absence would understandably cause a number concerns.
In the realm of discourse, might you possess any interesting updates concerning the Technocrats, the Nomads and their thralls? I must admit - while my occupation with matters here on Malta leaves little room for boredom - I still remain curious about our issues at hand.

How have you been through all these years? I trust you remain true to yourself and that your unwelcome 'guest' has not tightened its grip on you. For my part, I must say that the past few years in Malta have been rather eventful, almost too eventful for my own taste.
Nonetheless, these occurrences, in addition to various family affairs, have provided a convenient excuse to spend more time in Malta and finally learn how to control my artifact safely. My mind rarely grows weary from it, and the acute physical symptoms have largely subsided.
I assume you have been following the recent developments concerning jump holes, gates, and jump drives. What are your thoughts on the matter?
Been a while. Yes, I'm alright. Business has been booming these past years. Some of these jobs warranted me a buckload of credits. I've been enjoying a comfortable life in a luxurious little corner of Manhattan ever since. As for my guest? He's been quiet since the Blackout. Real quiet.
And...yes, I've been following the recent developments. Most of Sirius's connections are in disarray 'cause of it, too. Can't really say much about it seeing as I don't have reliable means of travelling to the place many call "Earhart".
Your artifact, though. I trust you didn't expose yourself to its influence too much, yes?

My jump drive experienced a malfunction and transported me to an unknown region named Earhart. I am unable to determine its exact position, yet my instincts suggest it is not situated within the familiar confines of the Sirius sector. Once the Starfliers have completed the recalibration of the drive, my vessel will be able to take you to this destination — should you find yourself interested.
During my stay, I encountered a figure well known to both of us — the Harbinger. The extent of his involvement in these matters remains unclear. However, it would seem that this Earhart is not tainted by the Nomad presence; their kind is evidently as unwelcome there as our own.
I have devoted some time to studying the artifact. Should there be any cause for concern that has escaped my notice, Caliban?

My offer extends to you as well, should you wish to stretch your wings, assist Malta and perhaps eliminate some corsairs along the way when you will be protecting our affiliates. Considering your skills and our exceptional professional relationship, your reward will be doubled.

Fiorella.
I'll see what I can do. With what I've been hearing things should prove profitable enough. Any confirmed hits on the Corsair forces will be relayed to you.

The credits should have reached you by now, if I am not mistaken. However, I also require the services of Caliban the detective.
I need to understand what Core is aiming for in Omicron Theta. I need to know whether they are in Omicron Theta to just kill Corsairs - or, if there is something more to it.
