I am quite pleased with your work and I do believe that you've earned your reward.
You may choose one of of the two stations which lies near the jump hole in Omicron 81 and establish a trading outpost there... should you wish it. I would imagine that having an outpost in the Omicrons would increase your profit margins by a great degree in that area. My only terms are that you refrain from using this outpost when dealing with the Corsairs.
Consider my offer, and send me a message once you have an answer for me.
On behalf of the Independent NeuralNet Department let me say that, to the man, we were taken aback by the enormity of your offer. One which demanded no small measure of consideration and care of approach. We hope that factor is taken into account when we offer our apologies for the delay in response.
The gracious nature of the Outcast Nation is underestimated, we are humbled to be a guest in your home.
With your permission Seguro Refugio would be the location that we feel would be most suiting to our needs. With a measure of retrofitting the station could well serve the personal and commercial needs of those wishing to do business with the Outcasts. It would be our pleasure to administer the same.

[Subject: Seguro Refugio station]
I'm sorry that this message has been delayed, suffice to say that I have had little time to spare the last couple of days.
Now! If you wish to claim Seguro Refugio then so be it. I will order the crew present aboard the station to vent the Cardamine-infused atmosphere and replace it with something a bit more... suitable for the regular human. I must insist that the Maltese quarters aboard the station remain as they are since I believe it is quite a pain to sleep with a breather strapped onto your face...
I would also like to add that the planet next to the station is off limits since it tends to be quite... lethal to vessels because of the rather strong field of radiation which surrounds it... and we have a certain interest in the experiments performed by the Reapers which took place on the surface itself.
Move your men in whenever you are ready and modify the station to better suit your needs.
