You should know me as Keeper Revenant, as the universe has come to know and love, including your favourable comrade - Windcaller, and it should come to no surprise that you were expecting to hear from me. Do tell me what you desire.
A fair reminder, this channel is between you and me. Unless you're after something else, that is...
I hope I set it up right. Would be damn awkward otherwise.
Woops, it works and it's recording already. *Israfel clears his throat awkwardly and falls silent for a moment*
So, right, I've heard about you, but rumours at best. Not wading the voids that long. Furthermore, I'm not interested in whatever poorly though out mischief I could do to you.
Well, straight to business, I guess. I know about your interest in cutting-edge technology, Nomad or otherwise, so there's what I want to propose.
I have access to Nomad weapon-tech that I want miniaturized and at my liberal disposal. You have the means to do so and an insatiable scientific appetite. Looks mutually beneficient, doesn't it?
The few extra things I want to ask in order to start working with you... Please, go easy on other Oracles. I know Sajuuk didn't give your people a warm welcome but I might be able to convince him that you aren't our worst ever enemies. Mind that he didn't call you that, it's just a little joke.
Next one: is Eidolon still an Auxesian cruiser? I'd like to send a postcard to its captain. It's from their best friend, so to speak. Can you give me their comm-id? Pretty please? Their friend misses them direly.
Your proposal certainly raises a few brows, I have to ask what you're attempting to achieve here and what you desire to benefit from these weapons?
As for your concerns with the Oracles, no, we do not intend to lay harm to them, nor do we have reason to. Sajuuk - or Windcaller - has shown multiple signs of resentment towards our people, having acted in hostilities previously against our operatives in the Omicrons. Whilst we're willing to... overlook some problem children, they're going to become an issue if they're going to persist on disturbing our operations. Joke, or not, his words mean nothing, but if he continues to act up, we may have to do something about it.
Yes, the Eidolon is still active, and it's my vessel. You're going to have to be a little less ambiguous about this 'best friend' analogy.
I am trying to achieve a research agreement. Surprise. And the key word here is agreement.
There is little a person cannot achieve with a weapon. It's a tool of protection and enforcement, a psychological instrument and, if sufficiently advanced, a kickstart for progress in many unexpected ways. Advancements made to achieve military goals sometimes have an effect on greater population that can be described in words other than disastrous and genocidal. Look at the cloak, once a tool of most obscure entities, now it provides the benefit of stealth to oh so many individuals and groups.
Due to your position, I assume you did your homework well and know even more about military projects turned even more mundane so this example may be not just enough, but excessive.
I told your people that I want not just peace, but advancement. A humble beginning like this will be rather satisfactory.
It is only the beginning, Keeper.
On the topic of Sajuuk, I will do my best to change his mind. I know nothing of my mentor's reasons to be aggressive towards you yet. Of course, I don't want to say I want you to cease using your right of self-defence.
Just in case, as your use of Windcaller seems strange to me, it is not a nickname, it's a rank in our hierarchy which is above the Cultist, and Sajuuk is not the only Windcaller.
Now we come to the most unpleasant part. As you are the captain of Eidolon... *Israfel pauses, lowering his head slightly*
Elune's shine awaits you. Apparently, she didn't like how you treated her and her kin. So much that she decided to wreak havoc in Omicron Kappa in return. She is waiting.
I'm genuinely sorry to finish the message this way, even though this is not my conflict.
It's his rank? Hrm, I was familiar that the Oracles usually employ callsigns. Very well then.
Using death as a means to ensure obedience is a cheap way of issuing emanating threats to the unwilling. Defense, enforcement, perhaps so. Death is a very powerful subject, and should be used sparingly. Whilst I understand your cause, I simply do not know you enough in order to trust you. Convince me otherwise that this tool will not be abused - that I can trust you, and then I will consider your offer. Take into mind that the Nomads do not like their items going into what is perceived as the wrong hands in their view.
As for "Elune". I don't care. Be annoying and harm others, and they'll perish. It's as simple as that. It applies to their annoyance too. They're nothing more than a defective entity with illogical imperatives, at least their elders of the main hive seem to succeed more when it comes to being robust. They're nothing more than an annoying fly and will continue to stay as that. Oh, and, I've caught them within their rampage within Kappa, they didn't get to enact emotional revenge on some poor sod.
I don't think I've ever seen such an emotional Nomad, I'm genuinely surprised it hasn't been exterminated and reprogrammed by them.
I still don't know just how much is allowed to be told to outsiders about our purposes, abilities, hierarchy and traditions. Even considering I barely know anything. I might want to ask my mentor about it, but back to the topic.
So, I guess one doesn't get their fish without some work. Then, I'll contact you about this affair later, when there will be any actions to speak for themselves. Unless you have any ideas in store for people like me. May I hear one? Pretty please with cherry on top? *the only thing the last phrase lacked was "kitten eyes" expression as the eyes in question were under a voidsuit helmet's visor* *it didn't prevent the Oracle from continuing in more serious tone, though*
Hm-m... You know, hearing such things about death is quite surprising in our ruthless sector. Speaks positively of you, however, and I'm not exactly trigger-happy either despite my endearment towards gunboat diplomacy. I also value your advice and I'm aware of the risk of being killed or turned into a dead man walking also known as the Wild. Without risk I will achieve nothing, however.
*young man sighs, looking at the monitor instead of the camera for a moment*
Aaand it looks like my message from Elune is obsolete. Well, collateral damage minimal, she lost despite being an Irra now... I don't know what to think of it all.
She seems really weird to me, too. Whatever might be behind her behaviour remains unknown for me, too. Although... Looks like this might be not something, but someone. I can't really elaborate now because Nomads are confusing as hell and I need more info, so, if there's anything to learn from this all, I might tell you. Unless it'll lead to something disastrous, of course.
I am more concerned by your publicity towards to such topics, as you so openly offered to talk about it without seemingly thinking about the consequnce of such. Perhaps in time we'll be able to talk about this in relative ease and comfort. We'll see, time will only tell. Until then, farewell.

Subject: I don't even
Nice to hear from you again, Keeper.
However, your question hits the spot a bit too hard.
Something went wrong and wasn't really fixed. Neither could we, nor did K'Hara. We're not allies with Vagrants.
You probably understand what this actually entails.
Thinking about it made me want to make some tea. I think I'll do so.
