Dear Prof. Dr. Samson,

We will have a discussion with the other members of my organization whether and how much we are willing to invest, but I believe you can expect at least something.

Coming back to the topic of hiring us. It's good to hear you handle your diplomatic relations yourself instead of letting yourself lead by the CoF. As far as we heard, problems are brooding in Omicron Delta again, the Core seems to become interestingly active again. I hope that as long as you stay more or less independent, you'll be able to stay out of that drama - especially since we might be able to frighten off some baddies, but we won't be able to handle the entirety of Core aces.

Protecting you against terrorists on the other hand would be a very doable thing, but as with the matter of donations, I want to discuss it with my fellows as well before strucking a final deal. I'm sure you will understand though that if House officials show hostilities to you and your project, we won't be able to help. A good reputation with all four houses is the main basis for our operations all across Sirius, hence I see us unable to gamble with our good standing.

Yours sincerely,
Knight Captain Elena Voigt
The Forlorn Hope
