To the attention of: Lazurith
Assistant!
With the installation of the workshop nearing its completion, I find myself in dire need to replenishing my working supplies and bringing my tools back to pristine condition. Especially regarding possible operations on cybernetic parts - and thus, on the human body - I can't allow my instruments to be less than of the finest quality and condition!
For this, I require the following items:
5x Xenobiotic Filters - 1000 Credits
To ensure a sterile working environment, it is important not to rely on the air filtration system on Barrier Gate alone. Especially with the gas based byproducts contaminating the air from neighboring workshops and shops, I find myself required to invest in a dedicated filtration system in my workspace. Not exactly cheap. I was checking prices earlier today and apparently these are best procured from the terraforming station in the Hudson system.
1x Uncut Diamond - 700 Credits
The tools I use for my line of work are quite expensive and usually manufactured on demand by corporations like Ageira and Cryer. That is quite unfortunate, as they control the market prices for these very sensible instruments, and off-brand items usually are of questionable quality. In order to avoid giving my hard earned money to morally confused higher-ups at those corporations, or other scammers, I prefer to fully rely on my own set of skills to manufacture my very own set of perfectly tailored tools myself. For a nanodrill, I thus require a diamond, ideally large and raw, to be cut into multiple tips of various shapes. Please acquire one such diamond from the Omega-11 system, ideally.
Maybe one of the local miners can assist you with that.
2x Superconductors - 1000 Credits
Just a material I require in a low metric quantity for robotic maintenance. You can get these from anywhere, although please don't acquire these in Bretonia. They have drastically lowered their quality standards as a result of the destruction of Leeds. People really use any excuse nowadays to justify low quality.
2x Quantum Multiplexors - 1800 Credits
These are required for quantum multiplexoring, which is self-explanatory.
30x Pharmaceuticals - 5000 Credits
As I mentioned, cybernetical surgery is part of my profession. It is a natural reaction of the human body to attempt to expel foreign objects, which includes, and this is annoying but treatable, cybernetical implants and prosthetics. I am afraid that only Cryer provides a reliable solution to this in form of Cybomnicine 820a Penta. I require multiple packages of this medicament as my patients will likely find themselves in a position of dependency, hence the increased quantity. Please acquire these from Syracuse Station, the Cryer HQ, in the Colorado system.
2x Optronics - 1500 Credits
There are many applications for Optronics, and many in terms of cybernetics and robotics. Acquire them anywhere.
10x Nanocapacitors - 3000 Credits
Especially more complex parts in robots and cybernetical implants require a frequent replacement of their nano-level energy transmission lines. To a certain degree, nanites can handle this for an extended period of time, and these Nanocapacitors are an integral ingredient in producing them. I recommend getting these from the shipping station in the orbit of Planet Hamburg.
10x Bio-Neural Processors - 10000 Credits
A few days ago, I joined a group of Bristol Construction vessels on their way to Gallia. It was quite the intriguing detour, which allowed me to gather some valuable information on the now available gallic technological market. One of their more interesting fields of expertise appears to be in the development of biogenic computing technology. This is quite interesting and allows for interesting options in the field of cybernetics. Imagine fully biological cybernetic implants! Not entire unthinkable at this point, although there are a few milestones in the way. Please fly to Chartres Space Colony in Orleanais and get a bunch of them for me for further inspection.
You can deposit the items directly at Barrier Gate Station C for my storage account. The logistical management should deliver the items directly to my workshop upon delivery. The successful completion of the delivery of all listed items will, obviously, result in a generous bonus for you, as well as ensure that I will continue to employ your services for future requisitions.
Should the monetary compensation not suit you, please contact me for further negotiations.
While I am certain you are a busy team, I must urge you to complete the deliveries as soon as possible. My current supplies are limited.

Doc.
I'm sorry for not coming through earlier with your request. Filing paperwork is kind of a pain in my current predicament, but I promised I would do it. So, here goes.
This is a list of all the materials I've gathered around Sirius for the construction of your laboratory in Barrier Gate. I've gone through some lengths to get some of these materials. Some of these lengths I've gone through were downright tedious. Some were unethical. Some were even... sexual, to some degree. But I digress. As per contractual obligation, I've got down eeeeevery little doohickey, thingamabob and thingamajig you asked for.
Let's start with the quest for your uncut diamond(s). [1][2]
Acquiring this was no mean feat. I had to request the help of Caliban when we were wandering around Omega-11 as he started looking for an available mining ship pilot who could assist us in acquiring the samples. The Solarius station's job board bore fruit eventually, as a certain pilot who will remain unmentioned (unless you're particularly anal about this and want to read the log transcript, I will append that too) who worked for Daumann, and he... willingly helped us with the acquisition of freshly baked diamonds straight from the radioactive cesspit of the Von Rohe. Some convincing and lying was needed to get this done. Don't worry, though. You probably ran the test already, but I scrubbed the samples before handing them over. Yeah, I threw in a few more samples for safe measure, in case one of them ever happens to crack for... whatever reason. But we both know that's impossible. After all, Diamond is Unbreakable.
Appending transcript. Just don't make fun of me after you're through with reading this. [3]
Now, for your requested units of Bio-Neural Processors and Xenobiotic Filters. [4]
This one took a little more legwork. And while the filters sold in the bulk supply stores in Hudson were probably a little cheaper on the wallet and far easier to acquire, the one in Chartres just happened to sell both of these materials, saving me further legwork, allowing me to complete the entire supply run in a single day. As for the quality of the product... I'd say it's pretty darn good. They were still sealed when I bought them. These were meant for military-grade use, of all things. But not anymore!
And now, here's the rest of the list for all the less important, more expendable tidbits I acquired throughout Sirius. I will rapid fire through them. [5][6]
Pharmaceuticals - prescription crates DN-K3 from #1 to #5. Acquired from Syracuse, as requested.
Optronics - Acquired from Shinagawa. It's straight from Kishiro's headquarters - you won't find tech this good anywhere else.
Superconductors - purchased from Denver, actually. I had my buddy Lucas from college that went to work at his dad's production line for Lagarde Industries in Crichton. I asked if his factory teams produce superconductors, and he says "hell yeah we do", and I bought a few locally produced units of Superconductors, type MAKRA-AA, the industrial variant. They can withstand up to four thousand degrees of heat, or so I'm told. Dang, knowing friends can sometimes really save you a huge amount of legwork.
Quantum Multiplexors - acquired from Planet Honshu. A skip and a hop, really. I totally lucked out, because the sale near Yoyogi Spaceport was just about to end. I can't say I am a fan of cutting through lines, but... eh. You've got your 'plexors.
Nanocapacitors - purchased from Altona on the orbit of Hamburg, as requested. Not much else to say about this one. They're the bread and butter of the colonies.
Well... there ya go. The whole list. Logged, done and dusted.

Assistant!
I will postpone the debriefing for now, and skip right ahead to the new assignment!
Take scans of five different gallic trane lane rings! - 35000 Credits
I require you to simply move to Gallia and fly around using their trade lanes. Fairly simple, without much risk involved. And, while you're at it, leave the lanes at a convenient point, as far away from starting and ending point. Right in the middle. Then approach the closest lane ring, and take a few scans. It is an absolute requirement to take these scans in Gallia, in the following systems: Provence, Languedoc, Orleanais, Picardy and Champagne. Any trade lane ring will do, but respectively one in each of these systems.
To take adequate scans, please get closer than 100 meters, use the "switch to target" icon in your operating interface and make sure to take guncam images. Taking these scans can take up to minutes, depending on the scanning array your vessel is using.
It is important that you accompany Assistant 15 on this journey to Gallia, as I am quite aware of her negative disposition toward that particular house. Frankly, relatable, don't you agree? However, with the war being over, Gallia is accessible to us sirians, and this should translate to a considerably low risk level to Assistant 15 and you.
This is a two person job. Don't go alone, and don't let her go alone. Should any unplanned event interfere with this assignment, please inform me at your earliest convenience!

Assistant!
I hope your journey to Gallia is enjoyable? While you and Assistant 15 are busy with this assignment, I am taking the liberty to send you the debriefing of the previous assignment!
All delivered items seem to be of acceptable condition and quality. I must say, this, to phrase it in a more colorful way, flirting... with the miner in Omega-11 is an unconventional method, and yet it seemed to be quite effective. Assistant, would it help you to get motivated if I adapted to similar methods when dealing with you? If so, I should tell you that the symmetry of your upper lateral cartilage is quite endearing!
Did this work?
While you think about it, allow me to proceed with the important part of this message!
Considering you have fulfilled all delivery assignments, the total reward adds up to 24000 Credits. While I am not too happy with the delay of the related paperwork, the actual deliveries have arrived fairly early. I assume you simply prefer action instead of bureaucracy. I will add a bonus of 5000 Credits to keep you motivated. I believe this should come in handy in your dealings with Mr. Abrams.
Would you like to tell me more about this business you two are engaged in?
You receive 15 (fifteen) XP! - You have reached Level 3!
Assistant Level 03 - that is quite something, Assistant! Given you haven't had any insight in the Assistant Bonus System before, here are relevant information for you:
Aside from more and more risky assignments, you now also receive a 5% discount on any services provided in my workshop, as well as a coupon for ONE FREE ROBOTIC OR CYBERNETIC MAINTENANCE! Not transferable! I am certain that all three of you can profit fairly well from this. Frankly, I am looking forward to take a closer look either of you!
