From: Melchior Collins To: Finn McCool Encryption: High Subject: Recent events Master McCool. Dr. Collins here. You and I both know that I would not contact you if it was not important so let me get to the point fast, as I wish to make the man on the table survive.
Roughly 16 days ago, Captain Avalon of the Corvo vessel Alpha-701 has arrived with a wounded man to Ames station. He stated that you need to see this because it has stalled his research and not only that, but one of the Zoner warehouses on Manhattan was destroyed with that man being the only survivor. I believe that it is a matter of time before he wakes up. Should you wish to interrogate him and find out more details from Avalon, I recommend that you come to Ames as the captain refuses to report this to me.

Good evening Dr. Collins -
Thank you for bringing this matter t' my attention. While I wouldn't necessarily want t' "interrogate" the man, I indeed would like t' know what happened and the events surrounding the event.
I'll make my way t' Ames promptly, though given the state of affairs out here in the Omicrons, there may be a delay. I'll inform you when I am near.

Good day Dr. Collins -
Apologies for my delay. I've been dealing with some other matters than have come up, but i've finally carved out some time t' address your comm.
I'm nearly at Ames, though was only able t' come myself as majority of my staff are tied up with other projects at the moment. If this does prove t' be bigger than just myself and what I brought with me on my personal snub, then we'll evaluate the situation then and see what assets I can pull here.
So tell me Doctor - what information have you gathered thus far?

Master McCool I wish that the news were better.
The patient has informed me that he was hunting for a contract in that warehouse, meaning that something was going on. I believe that Zoners of liberty might be in danger because of it. Either from the man that caused the explosion or the people that were making a deal there.
I am letting out a recording of my report after talking to him for a bit.

Master McCool. Preparations have been made for your arrival. There is a reserved docking port for you on the station.
The patient has mostly recovered and is able to walk currently.

Good evening Doctor -
Please forgive my absence. I am in fact on Ames currently, though a recent project has tied up my time during the past month, as well as recent events across Sirius have warranted a cease of communication throughout many in the IRG. Luckily that's coming t' a close, and we're resuming normal operations.

Master McCool. We have gathered what we could. First about the memory. We managed to muster up a blurry picture of a person, but were unable to find out who it is. As for the ships going in or out, we have not found anything of worth there.
More to it. Ser Wither, after the medical tests, has shown high combat and "R&D" capability. We have confirmed that he has high knowledge in Cybernetics and Nomadic Warfare. He has also requested to help us in our research and to defend our vessels.
It might not be for us to say, but after some talk AND if you do accept his offer, we thought that the best ship for him would be the Genesis. The ships is currently empty and could use a proper captain, so why not?
But. I will leave that decision to you. Should you approve of this, we will start working on his arm and some new looks.

Good afternoon Doctor -
Thank you providing me more information, even if it is seemingly inconsequential. Anything at this point will help narrowing down what happened.
As t' our patients's request. Quite interesting results from the medical tests. While I am intrigued, I don't want t' bring him into the IRG directly without first determining his mental state, as well as running a thorough background check.
In the meantime though, perhaps you can continue with him, and get him back into shape. Once that is completed, we'll discuss further and see about this "Genesis" vessel that you're recommending for him.
