To: Cerberus, From: The Council

[Thyrzul]

Bonjour mesdames et mesieurs,

Je suis Capitaine Pierre LaFlamme Du Conseil et I contact your organization on behalf of The Council to further strenghten the cooperatif relations between our organizations. I vaguely remember our last meeting on Curacao but I still recall hearing about the existence of some alien creatures hostile to mankind, named Nomads. If I remember well, you have way more knowledge about them as well as more opportunities to make direct contact with them than anybody else within the sector. We would like to request some help regarding these creatures.

Neither recently, nor so long ago The Council started the building of a modular base, intended to house both our Trade and Supply et our Technology and Advance Divisions. Stores et storages can be found on it as well as science laboratories et engineering bays. As Docteur Lavoisier told me (not too much in details, I'm not that good at science), one of the T&AD's planned project would be the examination of these so called Nomads, their features, that common mind thing, and so on. The doc mentioned xenobiological, chemical and dieu knows what kind of tests and experiments they would be eager to do if they would be able to aquire some samples. I haven't seen a man being this excited about something other than... uhmm... you know.

To sum it up, we would like to request supplies of small amounts of Nomad remains. What we would offer in exchange is a direct access to the modular base, which would also mean direct access to our stores on the station we plan to fill with fine cryocubes smuggled straight from Gallia. I think our dealers would gladly sell you some for a fair price.

If you are interested, answer me in this channel and we may discuss the details later. Until then, au revoir.

Sincerement,
Capitaine Pierre LaFlamme Du Conseil
Ambassadeur Du Conseil

Hola .

I'm Lieutenant Clara Maldoran and i got autorized by the Cerberus High Command to reply to your Request .
First of all it's good to hear from you again and I'm sure we can get this request workin' .

But hunting Nomads is dangerous they have advanced Technology and more Firepower than our Ships you probably heard about Toledo . So if we bring you these Nomads we want something in exchange . Of course Cryocubes are more than usefull but we are looking for something other that we currently need more than Cryocubes .

We have currently an Eye on the Gallic Technology and we request in exchange for the Nomads an Taureau class Assault Transport . I know that you have acces to these kind of Ships . We have the acces to the Nomads and the Resources to hunt them and you have the Ships we want so i think we could arange an deal that is more than worthed for both Groups .

I'm awaiting your Answer .

For Humanity !

Bonjour mademoiselle,

Oui, I am aware of the Nomads' technological advantages as well as what happened with Toledo, again my deepest condolences for those who you lost there. But considering the vast distance between the Omicrons et us, we have like no chance to encounter them, whether would we be prepared for such occurrence or not. That is the main reason behind asking your help on this matter.

About the requested vessel, I have to admit you have a quite good sense of decency regarding ships as this piece of Gallic technology is a unique gem of it's line. It's agility, armor and armament makes it useful at passing enemy lines. No doubt it is widely used and well favored amongst the pilots of The Council. I'm sure we can find a spare one to fulfill your needs. You will love it.

On an other note, Docteur Lavoisier contacted me about this matter, informing me that currently the base has limited capabilities at storing nomad remains. According to what he told me, the station has 100 greater, 200 medium sized and 500 small storage tanks for various sized nomad organs to be kept in them.

Sincerement,
Capitaine Pierre LaFlamme Du Conseil

Bonjour Capitaine, my name is Lieutenant Colonel Dan Beckz and I am currently second in command of Cerberus. Firstly I wish to express how pleased I am that The Council decided to contact us for this request. It's good to know we have some what of a reputation.

Now to business - We will have little trouble acquiring what your organization requests, however it would be irresponsible of us not to warn you of the dangers. With this in mind I am afraid I must insist a Cerberus scientist to accompany the Nomad tissue once it arrives. Said scientist, along with an assistant, will remain with the Nomads in your care for a minimum of two weeks. This is in the interest of your own safety and I am sure you can recognize this.

As for our payment, a fine ship indeed, we have been interested in a Taureau class Assault Transport for quite some time. In fact if we had one this deal would be a whole lot simpler. Perhaps we can arrange for its acquisition before we get the tissues, so as to smooth-en the operation? Lastly please will you be so kind as to send us a detailed request of exactly what you want, for example: 3 simple Nomad remains; 2 superior Nomad remains etc.

May our organizations continue working towards a better humanity. Oh and Capitaine, we will deny these talk ever happened if asked about them, I hope you will do the same.

Bonjour Lieutenant Colonel Beckz,

With all our thanks we appreciate your gesture of sending scientists of the Cerberus to accompany the alien material. They are welcome amongst us and will experience our warmest hospitality during their stay. Again, merci beacoup your caring, et I hope this will also enrich both of our organizations with shared ideas and thoughts from our scientists.

To specify our deal, I would like to explain the thoughts of The Council High Command about it a bit more thoroughly. What we intend to offer is access to Roussillon system as well as to the modular station Le Grande Stockage Fromage in it. This station stores the smuggled cryocubes, which will be puchasable possibly for a 5.000 SC per crate price. This station will also be the one requiring the Nomad material, willing to buy fragments of remains (// Nomad Fighter Remains) for 45.000 SC, smaller organs (// Nomad Minor Brains) for 75.000 SC each et will pay around 200.000 SC for the biggest pieces of samples (// Nomad Major Brains). Et above this all, as you requested, we are willing to sell you a Taureau-class Gallic Assault Transport, purchasable from a vendor aboard the CLN Pamiers, which stations itself not far from said modular base. However these terms are open for discussion if any of the listed offers does not fit your ideas.

Last but not least, you don't have to worry, this deal happens between us, concern of nobody else, will know nobody else about it.

Sincerement,
Capitaine Pierre LaFlamme Du Conseil
Ambassadeur Du Conseil
