Convergence

*Weber's answer did not surprise Piett at all. He smiled lightly at the director and continued*

Jarrow: I ask because I am worried of this threat. Those before you, the former directors of our Intelligence, were also not very well informed due to the lack of knowledge about this specific matter. You see director, Kusari assaulted our sovereign, followed by Gallia - but those are people, humans like us. With them we can handle somehow - the war will end one way or another - but with these aliens? There is no way to bargain with them...

*Piett coughed for a moment and took a deep breath*

Jarrow: The Nomad War that begun at 800 AS burned all the three Houses of Liberty, Kusari and Rheinland. Aside from the destruction the aliens caused to them they've received knowledge and with it they've managed to grow stronger. For good or worst we were untouched by this menace and most people here are satisfied about this fact. But in this way we've been rendered with limited knowledge about the Nomads. During this period planet Sprague contained a secret bretonian laboratory where the xeno-archaeologist Doctor Sinclair committed experiments with alien artifacts. The laboratory and most of the doctor's work was destroyed by rheinland wilde - this we know from witnesses from Freeport 1. My point is - the time has come for us to act while we still can and to follow Sinclair's example to learn more about these aliens and booster our national security.

*Piett pulled a single folder, marked as "Top Secret" from one of the drawers. He placed it on his desk and slowly pushed it towards Weber. He gave a minute for the director to check several of the pages and then he continued*

Jarrow: Planet Lyndhurst. It is a distant barren world far away from prying eyes. As you might be aware the government is using it for weapon tests. It is the perfect spot to rebuild a similar to Sinclair's laboratory deep underground. Porton Down is going to be the name of this future facility like you can see from the schematics. Of course it would be far more bigger and technologically improved than what Sinclair used to have. There the government, through you and your organization, could commit research and experiments on specific artifacts and nomad remains found within Bretonia. This would help us to gain more knowledge about the nomads how to fight, defend and use their weapons against them...or even against Gallia.

*Piett laid down on his chair and crossed his hands*

Jarrow: There is something else. Perhaps you wonder how would we build anything on the planet without getting unwanted attention? The answer is Caernarfon Station. It was build for a reason - to be a fallback point if worst scenario is to happen - and that is no secret. Whoever is asking would receive the truth - we are building bunkers for Her Majesty and the people of New London. You are the first person with whom I share this information. If I have your attention and agreement to participate - then would have to present this to the Government and await their agreement. The Queen will be informed of course - I will do that myself. So, director, what do you think?

*With these words he smiled at Weber and awaited his response*
