Your name:Teresa Martinez and assorted colleagues Your desired callsign:Doctor Age:As of the submission of this, I am 58 years old, born on the 8th of July 766 A.S. Origin:Planet Crete, grown up on Planet New London Area of skills/expertise/experience:As of the submission of this item, I hold professorship in the fields of biology and engineering at the University of Cambridge. I obtained my tenure four years ago and currently lead the Faculty of Bio-Mechanical Research, which I myself founded. My own areas of research encompass medical applications of nano technology for the widespread use within the human biology to enhance and combat several undesirable biological functions. Projects I am involved in include the refinement of hyperspace travel accuracy in order to allow for personnel travel, which is headed by my colleague Dr. Adrian Wight, and newly, my Faculty has taken up research into technology salvaged from Cultist entities with the aim of maybe furthering our goals. Vessel(s):The.Titanic - The.Pendragon Past Contact with Auxesia:I have sought direct contact with Auxesia a short while ago with the intention of inquiring for valuable information regarding Cultist technology, which currently my Faculty has been entreated with. Subsequently, I was directed here. Why do you wish to help us?:While I cannot state this definitively due to Auxesia's rather striking sense of secrecy to the outside, Auxesia seems to be exceedingly interested in learning the phenomena of our universe, which is something that I can respect quite a bit. As someone who has spent the majority of their life seeking knowledge, it tends to be difficult to find other people who can develop the same kind of excitement about discovery. I think we could benefit from one another in that regard.
There is an upcoming expedition that will involve an archaeological excavation and a general study of a rumored neglected Nomad City. This will be a physical flight into the Omicron regions, while being accompanied by small amounts of other scientists and guards, low numbers are considered due to the exceptional danger levels of the region - travelling in large groups tend to attract hostiles rapidly, this will decrease detection levels but will still remain a possibility of interception. It should be noted that there are other risks other than human aggression such as environmental and psychological dangers. The purpose of this trip is to gather information and to expand the understanding of the Nomads, though it is important that the safety of the team and workers is considered number one.
Understanding the risks of this of this scientific trip to the site, are you interested?

Topic: RE: Expedition
Madame, a pleasure. I have only had to do with Keeper Leviathan yet.
Archeology is, in many fields, a necessary intermediate step to finding one's own results, as it were. I have participated in excavations before, Pygar, Darlington, and I have seen and been (forced to) work in the dig sites of the Corsairs in the past. While my interest in the Nomads has never been quite as high as it maybe should have been, I assume that is due to me not rightly having the means to really look into the subject in a capacity that would not be second-hand. It would be a first for me. Naturally, I am interested.
You mention travelling as a small group. How many are you thinking about? How bulky do you reckon our equipment should be? I assume that, if we are at a stage where we only want to ascertain the existence of the site you mentioned, we will not be bringing anything sizeable.

If you were to accept that invitation, that would make the ship composition of the survey team five vessels. More ships may be commissioned on escort duty, but this is the expected amount. Ship size will not matter too much due to the size of the group, you will be accompanied by one of our larger research platforms during this expedition, should any serious incidents occur, you can moor to the vessel or dock for safety.
