Good day from the other side of known space,
I am happy to report that Omicron research team has now a permanent lodging on Freeport 11. Mr. Orphelia, the local administrator, was kind enough to arrange for all of our needs - housing, storage, lab space and docking. And all that for a reasonable price of 1 million SC a month. We hope that bodes well for our future cooperation.
Dr. Lynchpin had an interesting deal and a conversation with a Zoner captain, but I will leave to him to inform you on those.
We still have no answer from OSD concerning the alien structure in Newcastle.
All for the moment.
Dr. Vale over and out
