TO: Admiral Michael Golanski CC: Order Overwatch

[AlphaWolf215]

He stands on the bridge of the battlecruiser, wires trailing everywhere, but not a crew member in sight. Pieces of equipment discarded, broken on the floors.

Greetings Admiral, and by extension the Overwatch,

he wipes away the remaining glint of a tear from his eye, holding his whisky glass in his other hand

Admiral Golanski, as we discussed in space, here is the transmission as you requested, and to Order Overwatch, so you may make an informed decision into my request. My request, for the Overwatch, is to acquire a Nomad Power-cell from you. As i explained to the Admiral, who was wonderfully patient with my request, and i still cannot stress my apologies for taking up your extremely valuable time, myself and my brother are conducting some research into the power output of ships, any vessels we can get our hands on, and maximizing that, be it replacing the power core, rebuilding a more efficient engine system etcetera, etcetera. We wished to conduct some research on the Power cell, to see what exactly we could extract from it in terms of power to engines and weapon systems.

he takes a sip from the glass, before continuing

I explained to the Admiral that, whilst in a previous "job", i had passed through your home system, be it very briefly, and not something i am in any way proud of. Upon passing through, we picked up the battleship Thebes on scanners, and very quick scans of the vessel showed it not to be an Osiris class, but to also have engine/power problems. This was none of my concern at the time, but it seemed that far off project, that dream ship to work on, something me and my brother are always searching or, always longing for.

he takes another sip, giving himself a moment to think

I also mentioned that we would be acquiring a Nephilim class colony ship. We will be converting it, to be a mobile laboratory for us to work in in our research, and for us to do something that we love, a ship repair service. a job from a lifetime ago, but still our most favorite thing we can possibly do. Most research would be carried out on this vessel, unless you object of course, so that any problems can be locked down, keeping general Order agents, scientists, and myself and my brother, absolutely safe.

One last piece of information for you, before you adjourn to make a decision. All initial research and discoveries that are made will be shared solely with you, for the work in fixing the Thebes battleship.

I hope this makes clear to you why we wish to acquire such an artifact, and i hope you agree to allow us, but in the meantime Overwatch, i bid you farewell.

Good day.

In current state of The Order, we gather all available to us power cells to ourselves... for our other projects. However we can discuss your request for rights of ownership for artifact of this class among Overwatch. Considering your assistance to Order forces in Omicron 74 star system, this request is likely to be viewed in much friendly light.

You will be notified about progress or whether we have any relevant questions to you in due time. Meanwhile we will see each other in the battlefield.

Golanski out.

Admiral Golanski and the Order Overwatch.

I do hope this hasn't fallen to the bottom of your paperwork pile, I understand how busy you must be, but we are eager to get to work, and to help you in your dilemma with the Battleship Thebes. I will hopefully be headed your way soon enough, so if you have no objection, I will take some scans to begin my "thought experiments" regarding this work. Then I can begin implementing it upon your approval. If I require more thorough blueprints, I won't hesitate to ask you for them, but until your approval, I hope you have a safe evening, and that you take the fight directly to the nomads, in a fight I am more than certain you are winning, tactically as well as phisically.

Commander Davids, Order Taskforce One Four One,
speaking on behalf of Order Overwatch.

Admiral Golanski is currently unavailable and has left me ...some...paperwork.
And your request is part of that. So, sorry for the delay.

We appreciate your offer, though in mein personell view, I find it rather alarming,
that the perimeter defense around Thebes was not as heavy as I thought.
Seems like I have to yell at some guards for this.

Whatever, you were apparently able to obtain information that actually should
not have passed the normal order ranks, but unless the Admiral declares you
and your crew as ein security problem, I will not take any...necessary steps.

Coming back to your request, the Overwatch approves the installing of one
nomad power cell aboard your colony ship. Though for security reasons
we'd like you to stay in orbit of the planet Nebet, and not Akabat.
We cannot estimate the results when the power cell will be installed upon
your ship so should anytinng go wrong during the tests with the power cell,
the losses will be minimal.

He looks up, almost surprised, but joy fills his face

Commander Enrico Davids of Order Task Force 141,

he lowers his head in respect

I thank you for your generosity in granting my request. We will begin our hunt for a power cell, and prise it from the grasp of a dead nomad, the only good one in my opinion.

I do have one additional thing to ask however, perhaps I forgot to mention it in my past messages to you, but I would also request the allowance a few samples of nomad gunboat and battleship class remains. If at all possible, I would ask this on top of the allowance of 10 fighter class remains. Again, the wait is no bother. It allowed me time to finalise security checks on the Ares, which I am happy to say have passed the set tests successfully. In any case, I will once more await your decision, as you are an ally i cannot afford to "annoy". An ally I would much rather assist. I hope what I say is clear, but until the next time,

Councilman Joseph Wolf,

this second request baffles me ein bit. What is the reason for the need of nomad remains?
Right now I don't see any connection between them and the installing of the
nomad powercell aboard your colony ship. At least none that is related to the Thebes.

Nun, can you perhaps explain in detail what your plans with them are?

Commander Enrico Davids,

he nods his head in deep respect

I can understand your confusion on my request, as it is true I have been a little vague about this. As you, I am sure, are aware, the power cell has so far proved volatile upon connection to our technology. It is my understanding, whilst limited, that the remains may posses the secret to unlocking the integration with our technology.

As to the power cell, I had not originally intended it for integration with my ship, just to gain one for testing and research purposes. Whilst I may link it in temporarily, to test the output whilst run through existing and upgraded systems, I did not intend to replace my current power cell, but with this research, in hopefully making integration safer, to then aid you with the Thebes. Again. Worry not. What I know of Thebes goes no further than me, and if you so request, it will be destroyed.

In any case,

Councilman Joseph Wolf,
