decrypting communications ... DONE Good evening We've not had the pleasure of meeting in person as of yet, but I hope this changes in the near future. I am aware that your relationship with the Order is not as cordial as it once was, but I am hoping I can turn to you for technical assistance in the near future. The Khonsu has been deployed on a long-term mission in the borderworlds, and a significant amount of work we will be doing is reliant on accurate, and long range sensor data. Our ship was rushed out of Carthage to make room for wounded warships from the sieges, and we've had to perform a significant amount of work that'd typically be done in drydock out in the field. As such we have not had access to the typical diagnostic equipment. We're hoping you'd be willing to send a ship with reasonably powerful sensors out to meet us so we may ensure that our sensors and imaging systems have been properly calibrated. I would like to propose we each conduct deep scans of the local Baxter anomaly in the Sigma-15 system, by cross referencing our results we can finish tuning our more sensitive instruments using your data, then make adjustments as needed. We've just taken on a full cargo hold of supplies and materials, and our docking bay shall be accessible for your smaller craft as needed while we're in the region. I'd be gracious for your technical assistance in the matter, if you're willing and prepared to assist. If so, my ship's communication contact codes are embedded in this commband, and you can respond using them. Until then, we're remaining out of sight in the local nebula.
