Miss Greenwell,
It is a pleasure having you in our small organisation. We are slowly growing, and we are very happy that you chose to be part of this organisation.
You do not have to worry at the moment, we an either acquire a new vessel or either build a new one for you.
However at the moment we are spread very thin, as we have projects going on, for the moment a mobile laboratory is not something we can organize, but we can obviously can give you a laboratory on Ames Research Station where you can lead your research and your work.
You'll obviously have the assistance of all the GRG personel of the base, and we'll do our best to aid you where is needed.
If there is anything I can do to help you, don't hesitate to ask me.

Good Day Mr. Lawrence
I'm sorry for the delay I and my team had, this meeting took a wast amount of time. But I'm happy to announce that my team and I finished the project "New Dawn". The product is now able to get into mass production, and the refitting process of the ships will become faster and faster as the days pass.
We hope that you are happy with our product and that it will help us to strengthen our influence.
CEO Martin Lawrence,
Thank you for this public announcement and the responsibility you have tasked me with. I will be leaving shortly from Ames directly for Omega-41. I'm just finishing up the flight plans. I will announce my arrival and have a report in your coms by the morning.
CEO Martin Lawrence,
I come to you with disturbing news. I have to report that upon my arrival at Freeport 5, the station's health is at a critical tipping point. Each and every person aboard this station has been exposed to radiation and are showing minor symptoms. I will request the appropriate aid immediately.
With this I also bring news about the station's integrity and shielding. The station's structure is decaying. Slowly but surely it will fail. More importantly, the shielding aboard has succumbed to extensive radiation damage and will need to be replaced. At its current level, radiation penetration is near if not more 50%.
Defense systems are the least of my concern, however I must mention that with the current shield status - and though weapon systems are still functional they are failing. I will be placing a team of fighters on standby if any issues arise.
Summary:
Station health is at a critical point. -- PRIORITY
Station structure is decaying and needs maintenance. -- SECONDARY
Station shielding is failing, 50% penetration rate from radiation. -- SECONDARY
Station defenses are failing, though functional at this time. -- SECONDARY
CEO Martin Lawrence,
Despite my current situation aboard Freeport 5, You've asked me to send a research vessel to the anomaly in omega-5. Though difficult, and a distraction of my time - I have managed to get a small team of scientists aboard a Civilian Deep Space Explorer, known as the "Spatial" under the name "GRG|Tyche". They know the liability of going into the unknown and are on their way to the anomaly. I've equipped them the best that I can from where I am. Research equipment, mining equipment, food and supplies. I only hope I haven't invested into their graves.. They'll be there soon.
CEO Martin Lawrence,
It was a good while that I lost communication with them.. But thank god they came back.
You will find included with this message Nav Maps. These nav maps have been color coded and recorded by the GRG Tyche.
While not being the first ones there exploring the uncharted system, we came across a resource known as Narcrahtite.
Now, I've never heard of this but supposedly this resource has been discovered before. In fact, according to my team - Corinth Research Station in the Omicron Kappa is paying huge amounts for it. I did some digging and this is what I found on it.
“Following the first attempts to scout out the Uncharted systems, one of the many fields yielded an unusual find by the prospectors in search for minable resources. "Narcrahtite" being the temporary name given to the crystalline formations found in some of the larger rocky debris near the "center" of the system were not only quickly marked as highly valuable, but also - after the first spectrometer readings came in - a mystery.
The material was described as "artificial" in nature, unlike the asteroid belt it was found in. The material is also highly delicate and the current excavation technology is not adapt enough yet to yield the best results as the mining lasers often end up damaging the delicate material beyond salvage.„
What do you know about this sir? Should I send a team immediately to acquire a larger quantity?

Mr. Mortar,
I know the current situation of Freeport 5, but this came something as expected.
All logistic vessels in the area will be assigned ASAP to be extracting and transporting Narcrahtite. Delivery point will be Freeport 5 and the Armored Transport units will be delivering them to Ames Research Station ASAP.
Hopefully we can also improve Freeport 5's status and to take care of his inhabitants.
CEO Martin Lawrence,
I hope the holidays have been good to you and your family, but work never ends for us! I'm here to inform you of FP5's current status. Med Force
I've reached out to Med Force, and received a response from Med Force Two. No relief effort has reached the open dock I've left open for them - at this current time. Hopefully they or whom ever is to help aid our situation will be here soon.
Stations Integrity
As I stated in my first report, the stations structure is decaying and shielding against the radiation is failing. - For that, I've mandated a station wide emergency - despite health issues, for all hands that can hold a tool, or use their brain - to repairing these issues. But be assured, I am not working them to their bones. They work on a normal schedule however focused on the station. They are also receiving double the food rations for their efforts as well.
Additionally, I am requesting delivery of the following. -We will be using Iridium to plate the structure.
40,000u Iridium
25,000u Hull Segments
25,000u Reinforced Alloy
5,000u Industrial Materials
10,000u Energy Field Equipment
10,000u Magnetic Superconductors
10,000u Fusion Diodes
Narcrahtite
It's been difficult to accommodate the large quantities of Narcrahtite, with it taking up almost all the available space in hanger 1 - secured in their containers. But it's mystery is absolutely fascinating and alluring. I hope we can find out how it was created and what its potential uses could be.
Best wishes to you and your family on this day. The crew aboard were given 16 hours off for this day, though with some complaint they understand our needs.
An additional request - Discussion with my team has concluded and with the suggestion from Med Force, I would like to implement a rotation of crew member's from Freeport 5 to Ames Research Station on a quarterly rotation.

Mr. Mortar,
We are impressed with your work.
Freeport 5 in a way is not in a very good position, and hopefully we manage to adjust it to our best possibilities.
Your project list and your necessities for the outpost therefore have been approved, effect immediate.
If you need anything else, we will aid in all ways possible.
On the other hand, and this interests you Mr. Mortar as well,
One of our pilots, apparently ended up in the Gallic Sector. At the moment he's scouting what he can, and gathering all the information possible,included, a "friend" of his apparently donated a vessel to the Genesis, and it'll be dropped off to Freeport 5.
Mr. Mortar, you can send the vessel to Ames, so we take care of it here.
He sent us the logs of his vessel.
[26.12.2019 15:20:48] Grandid_Holmes: Evening Crete, Im here under my own power today just trying to see why this area is such a hotspot.
[26.12.2019 15:21:39] GRG|Crete: ?:Indipendent Corsair? Uh that's a new one.

[26.12.2019 15:23:14] GRG|Crete: ?:I really don't know how you are. But uh, your kind is very...let's call it impulsive.
[26.12.2019 15:23:56] Grandid_Holmes: Braindead as i call them, They react then wonder why they are floating in space. Lower intelligence is what i would consider.
[26.12.2019 15:24:40] GRG|Crete: ?:I didn't know Corsair received an eduction. After all...the rumors of what happens on Crete are spread everywhere.
[26.12.2019 15:25:26] Grandid_Holmes: I stay away from crete, Enclave have tutored me some so i work to improve my intelligence.
[26.12.2019 15:26:09] GRG|Crete: ?:Enclave. Another faction with more weapons that brain cells.
[26.12.2019 15:26:22] Grandid_Holmes: But they have a higher education than crete.
[26.12.2019 15:26:43] Grandid_Holmes: That planet is collapsing on its self.
[26.12.2019 15:26:44] GRG|Crete: ?:Well, to commit genocide is not that hard you know.
[26.12.2019 15:27:20] GRG|Crete: ?:I had a flashback when I saw what happened to Leeds.
[26.12.2019 15:27:47] Grandid_Holmes: Poor souls on that planet, One thing i can never discuss. never needed to happen
[26.12.2019 15:28:30] GRG|Crete: ?:Well it wasn't the first time to happen. And I think it won't be the last.
[26.12.2019 15:28:36] Grandid_Holmes: I hear the zoners have a research station in the omicrons. Do you believe they will accept me as a student?
[26.12.2019 15:28:58] GRG|Crete: ?:Specify of what.
[26.12.2019 15:29:17] Grandid_Holmes: As i do not originate from the corsairs yet a lone freelancer who ended up in this ship
[26.12.2019 15:29:36] Grandid_Holmes: Im looking to study anything.
[26.12.2019 15:29:41] GRG|Crete: ?:So a Freelancer in a Corsair ship.
[26.12.2019 15:29:56] GRG|Crete: ?:That's cute.
[26.12.2019 15:30:13] Grandid_Holmes: Indeed, but it seems my path has gone different then what i wanted
[26.12.2019 15:30:34] Grandid_Holmes: And leaving these creatures requires me to escape their grasp
[26.12.2019 15:30:40] GRG|Crete: ?:Well, why would we trust you in the first place?
[26.12.2019 15:30:55] GRG|Crete: ?:You claim to be somebody. But your ID says another thing.
[26.12.2019 15:31:17] Grandid_Holmes: Branded for life with that until i can get free of their grasp.
[26.12.2019 15:31:30] Grandid_Holmes: I wish to change.
[26.12.2019 15:32:05] GRG|Crete: ?epends in what way. We don't like Corsairs. We already have enough troubles on our head.
[26.12.2019 15:32:22] GRG|Crete: ?:Why would we trust somebody like you?
[26.12.2019 15:32:30] Grandid_Holmes: I plan on removing all corsair markings, i plan to become a man of intelligence
[26.12.2019 15:32:54] GRG|Crete: ?:And after that?
[26.12.2019 15:33:34] Grandid_Holmes: Hands are currently occupied this ship has been giving me troubles. Its not used to being run by a man with intelligence
[26.12.2019 15:33:51] GRG|Crete: ?:My question was another.
[26.12.2019 15:34:08] Grandid_Holmes: Here i will return clear of these markings if you will let me leave to brittany
[26.12.2019 15:34:35] GRG|Crete: ?:Brittany? What the hell is that now?
[26.12.2019 15:34:47] Grandid_Holmes: That is where my funds are settling currently
[26.12.2019 15:35:04] GRG|Crete: ?:Now, this is interesting.
[26.12.2019 15:35:11] Grandid_Holmes: i travel
[26.12.2019 15:35:17] Grandid_Holmes: If they accept me i go there
[26.12.2019 15:35:28] GRG|Crete: ?:Show me this Braitany or how the hell is called.
[26.12.2019 15:35:38] Grandid_Holmes: Sure follow me

[26.12.2019 15:37:35] GRG|Crete: ?:What cruiser?
[26.12.2019 15:38:00] Grandid_Holmes: This cruiser here is inactive almost like it was void of people
[26.12.2019 15:38:24] GRG|Crete: ?:Whose cruiser is this, if you know?
[26.12.2019 15:38:25] Grandid_Holmes: Would you like to continue with me or stay here?
[26.12.2019 15:38:37] Grandid_Holmes: Readings say.....Enclave

[26.12.2019 15:40:51] Grandid_Holmes: Mine are outdated sadly
[26.12.2019 15:40:56] GRG|Crete: ?:I was sent to scout. But I didn't think this far.
[26.12.2019 15:40:59] Grandid_Holmes: Enabling cruise
[26.12.2019 15:41:16] Grandid_Holmes: Can you see the battleship?
[26.12.2019 15:41:32] GRG|Crete: ?:What Battleship?
[26.12.2019 15:41:43] Grandid_Holmes: One sec it should be visible

[26.12.2019 15:43:08] Grandid_Holmes: The outpost usually has some people in the bar who like to talk
[26.12.2019 15:43:34] GRG|Crete: ?:Uh I'll wait for you in the hangar.
[26.12.2019 15:43:41] Grandid_Holmes: i will meet you back out here once i clear my markings
[26.12.2019 15:45:32] Grandid_Holmes: This place is filled with gallic treasure from the war you see
[26.12.2019 15:45:51] GRG|Crete: ?:What treasure?

[26.12.2019 15:47:30] GRG|Crete: ?:Also, question. What are you going to do with your old ship.
[26.12.2019 15:48:02] Grandid_Holmes: They like to research here so i traded ship for ship. I can ask them to send you the results once they have finished
[26.12.2019 15:48:55] GRG|Crete: ?:I thought we could have made a deal for it. You see, Genesis loves to study new vessels.
[26.12.2019 15:49:19] Grandid_Holmes: I can arrange to have it delievered to you.
[26.12.2019 15:49:29] GRG|Crete: ?:That's something I like.
[26.12.2019 15:49:40] Grandid_Holmes: Let me send the request
[26.12.2019 15:49:41] GRG|Crete: ?:How much would you like for it.
[26.12.2019 15:49:52] Grandid_Holmes: No charge im free now
[26.12.2019 15:50:11] GRG|Crete: ?:Are you sure?
[26.12.2019 15:50:51] Grandid_Holmes: Attention cordes outpost. Requesting ship labeled research be sent to the GRG point of research. Credits will be sent.
[26.12.2019 15:51:19] GRG|Crete: ?:Omega-41 is good.
[26.12.2019 15:51:24] GRG|Crete: ?:Freeport 5.
[26.12.2019 15:52:12] Grandid_Holmes: Cordes Outpost :Brittany System: Request accepted sending to Omega-41 Freeport 5. Cost charged and recieved.
[26.12.2019 15:52:38] GRG|Crete: ?:That was generous of you.
[26.12.2019 15:52:40] Grandid_Holmes: Nice people here
[26.12.2019 15:52:46] GRG|Crete: ?:Shall we continue?
[26.12.2019 15:53:09] Grandid_Holmes: Im unsure of anywhere besides these locations, I have not gone far here
[26.12.2019 15:53:30] GRG|Crete: ?:Well you were right. People here talk.
[26.12.2019 15:53:55] Grandid_Holmes: Have you seen the updated weapons platforms?
[26.12.2019 15:54:01] GRG|Crete: ?:So in my short stay, I managed to get somebody to talk.
[26.12.2019 15:54:02] Grandid_Holmes: They have made them better
[26.12.2019 15:54:13] GRG|Crete: ?:No I did not.
[26.12.2019 15:54:33] Grandid_Holmes: Round, Able to notice more targets
[26.12.2019 15:54:45] Grandid_Holmes: Less blind spots
[26.12.2019 15:54:58] GRG|Crete: ?:Cute, but I've seen better.
[26.12.2019 15:55:08] Grandid_Holmes: really?
[26.12.2019 15:55:18] GRG|Crete: ?:Yes.
[26.12.2019 15:55:29] Grandid_Holmes: where if i may ask?
[26.12.2019 15:55:44] GRG|Crete: ?:Newly built bases.
[26.12.2019 15:55:57] Grandid_Holmes: Dont see many around these parts
[26.12.2019 15:56:04] Grandid_Holmes: So im unaware of them
[26.12.2019 15:56:15] GRG|Crete: ?:Yeah, I know.
[26.12.2019 15:56:34] GRG|Crete: ?:Anyway, the guy said there should be a JumpHole somewhere in the Minefield.
[26.12.2019 15:56:45] Grandid_Holmes: Scary, But lets give it a try
[26.12.2019 15:57:00] GRG|Crete: ?:It's our best shot.
[26.12.2019 15:57:14] GRG|Crete: ?:Here.
[26.12.2019 15:57:32] GRG|Crete: ?:Let's see where it goes.
[26.12.2019 15:57:57] Grandid_Holmes: Oh lord. Where are we now?
[26.12.2019 15:58:08] GRG|Crete: ?:That's a good question.
[26.12.2019 15:58:14] GRG|Crete: ?:Minefield, again.
[26.12.2019 15:58:27] Grandid_Holmes: Did he say how to get out of this?
[26.12.2019 15:58:43] GRG|Crete: ?:I think the bastard "forgot".
[26.12.2019 15:58:56] Grandid_Holmes: Found it
[26.12.2019 15:59:07] Grandid_Holmes: Looks like a fight happened here
[26.12.2019 15:59:13] GRG|Crete: ?:A big one aswell.
[26.12.2019 15:59:31] GRG|Crete: ?:Shall we do a recon?
[26.12.2019 15:59:46] Grandid_Holmes: Lets make route to the Battleship
[26.12.2019 16:00:03] Grandid_Holmes: Get info first
[26.12.2019 16:00:05] GRG|Crete: ?:Hold on.
[26.12.2019 16:00:13] GRG|Crete: ?:Look.
[26.12.2019 16:00:38] Grandid_Holmes: Oh my
[26.12.2019 16:01:03] Grandid_Holmes: Black box reads a cruiser remains
[26.12.2019 16:01:23] GRG|Crete: ?:No, it's bigger.
[26.12.2019 16:02:10] Grandid_Holmes: Should we ask the battleship, this might be a restricted zzone
[26.12.2019 16:02:16] GRG|Crete: ?:This is something worth studying.
[26.12.2019 16:03:04] GRG|Crete: ?:Let's see where the hell we are.
[26.12.2019 16:03:51] Grandid_Holmes: My ship is in need of repairs i hit a mine
[26.12.2019 16:04:03] GRG|Crete: ?:We can dock here, I think.
