SENDER - Dr. Weiss Hausenberg
SUBJECT - Opportunity
Guten abend,
My name is Weiss Hausenberg, Doctor Weiss Hausenberg from the University of Munich. I am hoping that I have followed the instructions to the letter in order to appropriate this secure contact. Your transmission was brought to my attention by the crew of the ship my mobile lab is currently based on. They say it's signal has been boosted so much that it was practically begging to be answered; so I have come to reply. I am a xeno-archaeologist, with a Ph.D. in the field of biology and bio-medical sciences, things you are not interested in; but under me I have brought along a small team of young, bright-minded students that specialize in those exact fields of Environmental Physics, Astronomy, and Radiology.
Now I know you must have your doubts of our capabilities, but let me assure you with a couple of truth's and facts.
The ship I am currently on is called the I.F.S Arant, a CTE-12400 "Condor" class gunboat. It's interior has been retro-fitted with the latest in scientific survey and research technologies credits can buy. It's cargo bay has also been expanded to include storage room for a dozen survey probes and, due to their wireless nature and the disturbances signal interference brings, a small batch of disposable signal boosters. I trust you with this information because by your message you are one that understands the nature of progress through the gaining of knowledge and hope that you at least consider my offer of assistance.
