Frau Hawken
Indeed. Much water has flowed under the bridge since our last conversation. However, I'm not interested in the reasons behind it, Ich just hope, that you will not dissapear without any trace again. Closer to the point.
First of all, let me introduce myself. Ich bien Stefan Morgenstern, Oberster Arbeiter of Die Alster Union. Unfortunately, the other part of our high command can not answer your request, including those people who have already spoken to you. Therefore, I was appointed to answer you by other members of the high command. I hope that this will not interfere with our business and it doesn't cause any problems.
I want to assure you, that we can sell everything from xeno relics to a couple of battleships via black market, so I don't see any problem there. We have our own channels, which erase the name of origin quite qualitatively, so be sure that no one will know that you have extracted these artifacts. However, there are a lot of other points to discuss.
We would like to get more information about these artifacts, preferably scientific reports or something like that. We have our own experts on artifacts, which will make a conclusion about the best way to sell them. However, the question isn't in quality.
We are much more concerned about delivery. You said that you are going to deliver them to us on your own. To be honest, I can hardly imagine it, given how your faction supports the feds. I think that it will be better if we do it ourselves, but then the question is whether such an offer is beneficial for us, because, as already said, this is connected with problems for us.
Unfortunately, you gave too little information so that we could make a decision. Please, give more information about how you are going to organize delivery and also about the quality of artifacts.
Godspeed.
Fur Rheinland,
Stefan Morgenstern, Oberster Arbeiter, der Alster Union

Greetings Stefan Morgenstern,
Our scientists have diagnosed that the Artifacts are indeed of alien origin. There is also an indication that this Planet has had previous visitors - that of the infected Rheinlanders under Chancellor Niemann's regime. We're sitting on more than just fancy trinkets here: we're sitting on pieces of history. This planet meant something during the Nomad War, something important, and The Core is going to find out what.
We'd be interested in discreetly peddling these wares into all possible markets. And that is where you come in. For the time being, until we finalise things, we would like to give you a sample of what we're offering. I suggest we meet in Omega-55 to make an exchange of these goods. Perhaps near Kreutzwald Depot? I'll leave the arrangement of a time to you.
At the moment, unfortunately, all lines are occupied, your message will be processed as soon as a member of staff has time.
Please wait...

Miss Hawken,
I would like to excuse for our silence, we had some... problems with our personal. My name is Alise von Ravensberg and from now on I will represent the Alster Union in talks with The Core. Mister Morgenstern is at the moment not in the condition to answer and so I took it, as a member of the now leading body of the Union, onto myself to send you a reply.
We certainly have interest in these artifacts, that those are from this specific time period will certainly make for a good bargaining chip with certain collectors. You propose a meeting at Kreutzwald? If you give me a day and time, I will make sure to attend it.
Kind regards,
The Countess of Ravensberg;
Mistress of the Hamburg Cell;

Miss Hawken,
If I recall correctly then all The Core bases have an automated algorithm that targets Unioner vessels, despite that I can agree to this and come there.
Now the important bit is when, do you want to exchange this details on a more private channel?
Kind regards,
