TO: Dr. Stephen Callahan
FROM: SCEC CRO Mstislav Belov
RE: Nomadic Research

Doctor Callahan,

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mstislav Belov, I am the Chief Research Officer of SCEC. I believe,, we already had a brief opportunity to negotiate in omicron Delta. For a while, I was away from the position due to injuries. Now that I am returned, I assume back the post of the CRO and act as the official representative of SCEC.

I believe ex officio you are a colleague of mine, a fellow researcher. If so, you must understand that "nomads" present research interest in many fields, including agricultural use of microorganisms like the Kusarians use on their planet Junyo and temporarily occupied planet Kuriles. Nomads are but a mere tool to those smart enough to wield it. And Coalition can boast to have one of the best Academia in the sector. With all due respect to your researchers, Doctor, but we know what we are doing. And for sure it does not involve using bateriological or hybrig weaponry against human populace, Doctor.

This said, I can only suggest carrying our a joint research operation for you to ascertain we bear no ill intentions in the Omicrons and for the humanity overall. We recognise the noble goal of the Order in protecting humanity against the alien threat and wound not like to interfere, but merely to provide assistance if possible. However, we don't see the research over them as something off the limits, as the infections are usually cured by the antidotes made of their own cells.

Keep this in mind, Doctor. This will eventually benefit you, if you are wise to heed the advice.

We are looking forward to hearing from you and hope that our further relations will bring upon only cooperation and understanding.

With respect,
Dr. Mstislav Belov
