Greetin's lads,

Apologies, but I must keep this brief. I need any and all research you may have into ta two subjects, or Gallic Artifacts, that Mr. Willson has brought over to Ames. This is critical to ta continuation of ta research I am conducting. Specifically, I need ta know what energy readings you may have encountered when in ta presence of other energy sources, big or small.

I am on ta verge of somethin' big lads, and any help and information would be of great benefit! I'm sure ya understand.

Also, and of less importance, I have a visitor here. A "Jane" here on Ames, and she claims ta be a council member of ta Runners. Anything of note regardin' her I should know about? Besides ta fact that she is a *Cough* Android?

"Sorry to say this sir but Jane has been exiled from the Runners do the actions giving out classified information on matters we were trying to keep locked down and secure. As for the other things, Joe and Gabriel will respond here soon hopefully."

"Ah and yes, Jane has taken the liberty to start threating the Runners with any means she has at her disposal so please do stay on the watch"

Joseph Wolf sits in the captains chair, on the bridge of what clearly is a nephilim class vessel. The ship is eerily quiet, a clear lack of crew on board. The whine of the power core can be heard throughout the ship, and is slightly captured in the transmission

Mr. McCool,

My sincerest apologies to you for the time taken to get this message out to you. It seems i finally know what it feels like to be busy... But i have now made arrangements to keep things in the Runners going smoothly whilst i speak with you.

Down to business then. The Gallic Artefacts, that was Mr. Wilson's research...

he leans forward, tapping away at a computer just behind the camera

And is now accessible to me. Having your brother at the head of all research does wonders for accessing those files.

he flicks through the file on what must be a holo feed in front of him, muttering away "Energy readings.. energy readings" until he stops

It appears Mr. McCool, i have not been kept up to date. This is not pleasing, but not your fault. This runs VERY closely with my own project, something i'm not quite certain i'm allowed to share much on yet, but most basically is the research into power cores and pushing them to their maximum outputs, whilst still being as stable and efficient as is normal. You see what i am saying here. I will also add that such research is, thus, incomplete. It has not met a power-core i have modified yet. I am assuming you have the artifacts, yes? If so, i will bring a vessel down to Ames and we can test it, see the kind of results we get first hand. I think this would be the best solution to completing that research.

If we can do this, then from there, i can give you what research i can, without giving away too much of my own, or other, runner research. My lord, my sister would have my head for that.

As for Jane, if you see her, do me a favour, and but a bullet in that, then push it out of the airlock. She has done enough damage around here, lets not let it continue. Let's close that matter.

In any case Mr. McCool, have a safe time on Ames, make use of the facility, i sure would, and i will be with you soon. In the meantime,

Councilman Joseph Wolf,
Secretary of Fleets and Diplomatic Affairs,
Solar Runners

Wolf appears on the comms again, still sitting on the bridge of a vessel, but the whine of the engines is different here, but more pronounced

Mr. McCool,

He sighs, clearly unimpressed

It appears I have been left out of the loop on more than I imagined. I'll be having a word with my fellow councilmen soon about sharing information... and how I don't appreciate them not speaking to me about things of this magnitude...

I retract my previous statement, please do not shoot Miss Jane, nor push her out of the airlock, but some cold stares on my behalf would do for now. Apparently, without my prior approval, things have been arranged. I appologise for the... confusion. I will move down to you as soon as possible, we are almost ready to leave, i shall see you soon Mr. McCool.

Councilman Joseph Wolf,
Secretary of Fleets and Diplomatic Affairs,

'Ello Runners!

Apologies for not respondin' sooner. Things have been quite busy as of late. But, I finally had a moment to sit down and send a comm out to ya in response.

Mrs. Harper, I appreciate ta warnin'. After I had read yer comm to meh, I politely but firmly requested her ta disembark ta station, under ta guise that more pressing matters required my attention, and that a individual of her "type" made my security personal feel uncomfortable. She left without a fuss thankfully. I do thank ya for ta warnin'.

Mr. Wolf, a pleasure to hear from ya once again. As for ya comin' down yerself, I would be honored to have ya come down and make use of our labs here. I've spent a great deal of time and money upgradin' ta Phoenix labs to be state of ta art, and as such would appreciate more use out of some of ta equipment that is currently collectin' dust, since majority of meh scientists are engaged in a singular project.

Please let meh know when ya intend to come down, and I will ensure you and your team have accommodations prepped and ready for ya.
