Guten Tag Herr Briggs,

We've met in the Outer Rim systems a while ago. I'm not sure if you remember me, so I'll introduce myself again.
My name is Wolfram Kruppstahl, I'm working for the Rheinland Federal Polizei. Due to my work in Rheinland, I'm already on my way back to Rheinland space. However I'm talking to you as myself, not as an officer of the Polizei. The reason of getting in touch with you is the interesting information of the Outer Rim you told me about. The Nomads, Artificial Intelligences and the whole Outer Rim itself caught my attention. I would be glad to learn more about these systems, since I've seen only a few of them yet. Just out of curiousity, you didn't tell me what Canaan actually is about.

Greetings or shall I say guten tag Mr. Wolfram Kruppstahl! And I do remember you from our last encounter...you were piloting a Humpack, am I right? I must pardon for not introducing myself at the time we met, but I was on the run, so, as you suggested, I'm going to do it now. My name is Briggs O'Harley, I am a zoner scientist and a member of the Canaan Reseach Team. The Canaan Research Team is a zoner group, now independent, but with its roots in the well known Corinth Station, now being a research team that examinates almost all that can be examinated in the omicrons...and by that I mean terraforming, Kappa-AIs, nomads, artifacts, and sometimes we take development projects from annonymus customers.

You have asked me about the Kappa-AIs in your trasnimission and in space. I appreciate your couriosity, so, I'm going to enlighten you. The Kappa-AI and thier superiors, the Primes, are a race of unkown self-sentient and concious machines, and at the same time they are not programed, meaning that they can develop separate personalities and be like a machine thinking like a human, we have an example, the project "Emphaty" or Ethan, as some call it, its a drone type AI that can think like a human and as its name suggests its the the friendliest AI out there. They are located in Omicron Kappa, thats where thier name shoots from.

If you are willing to know about more info about us, the AIs or the systems in the Outer-Rim contact me in space or via private message.

Guten Tag again Herr Briggs,

First of all danke for the quick response. A scientist working in the Outer Rim must be really busy these days I assume.
As already stated, I'm working in Rheinland which doesn't make it easy for me to stay in the Omicrons for a long time.
The way from New Berlin to the Omicrons is long. If there's anything I can transport to Corinth Station which is useful for you, let me know about it.
Keep in mind that my Humpback is the only vessel I may use privately. I'm afraid that its cargo space is restricted.
I'm looking forward to contact you via secured channel or in space as you mentioned.

Greetings again, Mr. Wolfram Kruppstahl. I'm gald that someone from the houses is willing to help us, it doenst happen very often to be honest. Regarding this, ofcourse that I will accept the offer.

We have a project concerning some toxic gases...if you could grab 250 units of deterium and berilyum each alongside 80 energy field equipment kits that would be great. And, just for the sake of having some good drinks on board, can you also bring some of your finnest rheinbier? I would like 10 bottles. It's not necessary, though I will consider that as an act of good will.

If you accept, let me know when shall we setup the commodities pickup.

Guten Tag Herr Briggs,

indeed, I am able to acquire the commodities you mentioned. Some of the goods are only available in other houses. Because of that, it will take some time until I am back.
I will report to you again once the delivery is finished. Hopefully the Polizei does not think I am drinking Rheinbier in cockpit.
