I have a rather large and important request to make of you. Ongoing developments within The Technocracy's home territory has seen the re-activation of a number of heavy duty assets in response to heightened aggression from neighboring interlopers. Recent shifts in the anomalies have me exploring every option available, and I come to you now to seek aid with one such option. For a number of reasons, this request has a need for the utmost secrecy.
With the recent formation of Task Force Prometheus and slow but steady arrival of an increasing number of ex-Legion vessels, one ship in particular has fallen back into The Technocracy's hands, which we thought lost in the fall of The Commonwealth. Its recent arrival in subpar condition has opted the remnants to return it to its rightful home.
At this point in time however, we're swamped and our facilities are stretched to capacity. There was a time where Guildmaster Alan Smith provided us with safe access to a secure site within the Taus, for a project of equal magnitude as we first took our steps as a fledgling organized force. A meeting we had in person to discuss the terms of an arrangement at the height of the Gallic war, to covertly transport a vessel to a facility your Guild had happily rented to us. I hope to re-activate a similar offer, and would love to know what facilities are currently available.
Though to clarify: I am not looking to repeat the arrangement we've had in the past. We've grown quite capable of providing ourselves with the necessary equipment and resources to sustain such a vessel, and given Prometheus wishes to redirect its current skeleton crew elsewhere, I am re-activating the Andraste as an asset within Auxo's military force. My people can provide the resources and manpower to oversee the repair and restoration of this Osiris-Class, but I would require an open berth. This asset is crucial in maintaining the security of the Technocracy.
So I hope we can make a deal, and I'm more than happy to adhere to the same level of discretion we maintained in the past.
Your request for assistance has been received, and I understand the urgency and importance of the situation at hand, given the heightened tensions and recent developments in your territory. Unlike in our previous collaboration with the Cincinnati, the Shipyard in Tau-44 will not be able to service the Andraste. However, utilizing Madera is indeed feasible, provided that the ship can make its way into Omega-48, though the increased presence of Corsairs may prove problematic. Unless you know another way into the system, the Andraste would need to pass through Omega-5.
I would also like to inquire about the Andraste, the Osiris-class battleship. Is there a need for us to bring some of the engineers who worked on the Monument-class battleship, given the Osiris’s origin, or does the Technocracy have it covered?
With regards
Albert Schulze, Guildmaster

The path to the Omegas will be a long one indeed, given the Andraste's engines are operating at minimal capacity. We're hoping to conduct some field repairs before departure, but even then it may take a while. It'll be under heavy guard each step of the way, so I am not too worried about security. That being said, it may be prudent for the people at Madera to send a small detachment to meet us in the Omegas when we arrive, and guide us the remainder of the way.
Frankly, I'll take any help I can get in fixing her back up. Those technicians will be incredibly useful in the process as I'd like to avoid spreading my people too thinly across too much bread, so to speak. You'll be paid handsomely for your assistance, as always.
When the field repairs are done and the Andraste departs, I'll contact you with a location to meet.
Glad to hear from you so soon, Keeper. For the escort group in the Omegas, we will have the Cuba meet with the Andraste in Omega-7. I recommend contacting the Red Hessians in case of a Corsair attack during our flight to Madera, as they should have a force stationed at the nearby Ronneburg Base.
To oversee this project, I will be moving with the technicians to Omega-48 to ensure its quality.
With regards
Albert Schulze, Guildmaster

I'm contacting you for a handful of reasons, though primarily to update you on the status of Operation: Ursa Major. The asset in question is on its way through the 55 corridor, though due to a developing problem back home, we've had to temporarily suspend transit operations while we address the situation.
Second, I'm hoping you're open to modifying the original deal. Another casefile came up that seems to have been long overdue in being taken care of. I'm hoping we might be able to include an additional asset - pending the agreement of the captain of the vessel - into these maintenance processions.
And third is the matter at home. I'm wondering if you can have your people keep a close eye on any traffic moving into Inverness. The Crayter Republic and LSF are beginning to apply pressure upon us and the resident Zoners, so any information that could benefit our efforts in disrupting their attempted invasion would be crucial to the continued security of the region.
I apologize for addressing so much in so little time, but as you can imagine time is short. I look forward to your response.
I was wondering about the asset in question. It would be advisable to add additional plating, as the jump hole is located in an extraordinarily volatile outcropping of the Walker Nebula. If you require additional support while crossing the system, the Guild could send some repair ships and pathfinders.
As for any additional ships, Madeira is currently unable to service them as it is operating with a skeleton crew, but the Guild is working on improving the situation. The only reason the Guild can work on the asset is the group of engineers with experience on the Cincinnati.
The last topic you brought up doesn’t surprise me, given how diligently the Traitor Republic has been licking Bretonia’s boots. To think they once fought a whole war against the Crown to keep their independence. With how eager the Crayter military was to blow up a ship with refugees, I will not risk the lives of any Guild members. However, the Palau has confirmed an unusual amount of military traffic heading towards Inverness. With the information you’ve provided, Keeper, about the LSF moving in, I will be issuing an advisory to all Guild members to stay clear of the system for the time being.
I wish you good luck.
With regards
Albert Schulze, Guildmaster

Guildmaster, I appreciate the transparency in response to my additional request.
I know it's unorthodox, but I must implore your consideration on the matter. My home is under threat of invasion at this time, and the associates in question of the aforementioned additional vessels would like to make their case themselves. I'd like to organize a meeting on neutral ground at your earliest convenience, though I cannot guarantee punctuality due to the pending assault.
If you're able to, I will forward coordinates immediately.
