As requested, I have completed my survey of Kusari space and the systems immediately bordering its territory. The mission was largely uneventful, although I can't say I am particularly surprised. The only vessels I encountered were transport ships, who's pilots were not in any mood to stop and chat. All Kusari stellar bodies, nebula, and man made constructs have been catalogued and the updated nav map information had been uploaded to the main neural net.
During the survey, we encountered 3 items of note. While exploring the Unyo Cloud in the Hokkaido system, we came across a wrecked transport, Thomas Morell. It looked to have been destroyed by particle weapons. We managed to salvage 46 Agiera White boxes from its wreckage. The second discovery of greater interest was the wreckage of another vessel, this time deep in the Yurasu Ice Field in the Tottori system. An old Kusari Navl FighterUwajima, also destroyed by particle weapons. We discovered a functional experimental weapon labeled BLUEBLAZE. Our scout craft lacks the facilities needed to properly examine this weapon so we set course for the Livadia Shipyard to place them in secure storage for further analysis. While enroute, we stopped at a friendly base in Tau 53 to refuel. Raw Research Depot. I browsed the commodities they are offering and noticed the have a supply of Azurite gas & Narcrahtite ore available. The cost of the Narcrahtite is rather prohibitive, but I saw fit to report the discovery should we ever have a need for any.

Good day Mr.Crowford,
I must say that I'm very impressed about your report.
You brought in some interesting items ideed which I wish to study myself in the near future.
However, now I must rise the expectation level, and bring on your desk, a much more difficult assignment.
You see, not too long ago, we discovered that Omicron Chi, can be a very resourceful system, in the scientific landscape, so the Genesis would like to establish itself there with an outpost.
Therefore I'd like assign you this: I'd like to see some schematics of a possible installation there.

Attention all Genesis personell,
As you may be aware, we finally managed to develop an alloy resistant enough to deal with the Dark Matter Storms, so that's why we are helping our fellow Zoners in the Alberta system, on Freeport 14 to reinforce it, so they can resist through it.
The Freeport 14 personell, will be sending us as much data on it as possible, so be ready for a massive amount of data coming our way from there, aswell as many transporters coming to aid us in the attempt to fortify the Freeport.
Hopefully, we can make it a safer place to survive the Storm.

Mr Lawrence,
I apologize for the delay in sending this communication, but I wanted to ensure no details were overlooked for this project. I have discussed the project at length with my engineering crew and we've agreed on a model we believe will be best suited to our needs.
Because of the remoteness of the system, coupled with the hostility of the nomad menace, secrecy will be our primary protection. As such I recommend the station be modeled after the old Ithaca Research Station. It's small size will enable it to be well hidden in one of the molecular clouds and will also ensure construction will be significantly faster while being large enough to house GRG's advanced research facilities.
Configuration Features
Ithaca Station Structural Model
Crew Accommodations: 150-300
Major Features
The upper decks will be devoted to the various command and control facilities necessary for station operation as well as all communication equipment.
Mid decks will consist of the landing bays, cargo storage and power generation.
The lower decks will be configured to exclusively house our advanced research facilities. They will be highly modular in nature to better facilitate quick reconfiguration should our research projects change based on new need.
That's the preliminary model for now. Specific interior structural details can be provided at a later time. For the moment we have gathered all necessary supplies to begin constructing the spaceframe. We can begin the work whenever you are ready.

Attention all Genesis personell,
I have received note of an installation that was constructed in Ames' NFZ.
i have personally tried to contact them, but they did not want to respond nor wanted to take off the weapon platforms. So as it poses a threat to our installation, is our duty to take it down.
I have requested assistance to other Zoners aswell, so we can speed the process of dismantling it.

Good day to everyone,
Since the Junkers made their part in our deal, we need to make our part of the deal and start construct the dark matter defensive platings. We need to build 30.000 units of platings.
Here's the necessary commodities needed to build those, attached to this communication.
Greetings.
It has been some time but The Neumann is finally back in populated space form the deep space journey. Now that the pleasantries are aside i wish to make my report on our findings. As we know we departed from Freeport 11 and then headed for deep space. Our journey was long and we encountered some minor issues but nothing we could not handle. We discovered a new jumphole wich took us beyond the edge nebula. We discovered a new star system wich we designated P3X-234. The following is the report of the systems initial survey.
The system is a binary one with an M8 type dwarf and a G2 type main sequence star. The red dwarf we designated P3X-234/Alpha has the following specifications: Luminosity Ib, Color: Red, it has a Temperature of 3000K, Mass: 1.59 x 10e33 kg, Diameter: 8.02 x 10e9 km. The G2 type main sequence was designated: P3X-234/Beta. It has the following specifications: Luminosity: V, Color: Yellow, Temperature: 5000K, Mass: 1.99 x 10e30 kg, Diameter: 1.39 x 10e7 km.
Arround theese stars we found two gas giants that are in orbit. Designated P3X-234/1 and P3X-234/2. P3X-234/1 had three moons orbiting it. We designated them M7G-451, M7G-452, M7G-453.
P3X-234/1:
Diameter: 26 216 km
Mass: 9.89 x 10e24 kg
Temperature: N/A
Terrian: N/A
Escape velocity: 15.42 km/sec
Initial scanns of the planet's atmosphere concluded that it is comprised of hydrogen and helium.
M7G-451 and M7G-452 are extremely small asteroids that consist mostly of nikel and iron. And M7G-452 is on an extremely low orbit and after anylizing it's behaviour we came to the conclusion that it will collide with P3X-234/1.
M7G-453 on the other hand was more interesting to survey. The moon itself is mostly comprised of silicate rock similar to rocky planets and it has large ammount of water on it in the form of a thick lair of Ice. We also suspect form the scans that it has liquid water below said ice wich surrounds the rocky silicate crust. The moon also has a thin atmosphere comprised mainly of molecular oxigen and water vapor.
Diameter: 3 121 km
Mass: 4,80 x 10^22 kg
Temperature: 50K to 125K
Terrian: See above.
Escape Velocity: 2,025 km/sec
Moving on further we later examined P3X-234/2. This gas giant had no moons nor any indication that it ever had one. It's atmosphere consist primarily of hydrogen, helium and methane. And it is the largest planet within this system.
Diameter: 27,992 km
Mass: 15.76 x 10e24 kg
Terrain: N/A
Temperature: N/A
Escape Velocity: 24.78 km/sec
After finishing up the surveys of the planets and their moons. We moved further away from the system's center to an asteroid belt. Preliminary scans showed nothing extraordinary as the asteroids were comprised mostly of rocky silicates with any noteworthy traces of metals being iron and nickel. After sampling multiple rocks however we found high concentration of platinum in one particularly large rock and it's surroundings. Further research required.
The system also contained a small gas cloud. Scans indicated large concentration of explosive gas pockets making surveys difficult but we believe it consists mostly of methane.
Unfortunatly we had to abandon the system when our scanners detected the jumphole is destabilizing. This means that further research within this system is currently not possible.
Down below I attached the system's map as well as the photo from our initial arrival. On the photo unfortunatly you cannot see the asteroid belt nor the nebula.
