Bonsoir, madame and whoever happens to be assisting you in the leadership of your crew. This is Robert d'Autoine speaking here.
As promised, I will deliver you the contract I mentioned yesterday. It involves a delivery contract.
You are to deliver an AI unit under the current ownership of the Commonwealth to Omicron Kappa, Planet Gammu where it will be picked up, and ownership transferred, by the AI Consensus. I dare say this is a very confidential and very important contract as the delivery package should, under no circumstances, suffer any destruction and moreover, it shall not return to Freeport 10.
Like I said, the ship is actually an AI unit under our ownership. You may recognize its identification frequency as " CW|Mosquito " and it has to reach Gammu and be given to the Consensus at all costs.
I dare repeat that you should under no circumstances allow it to return to Freeport 10 or be destroyed, especially to return to Freeport 10.
As a warning, the AI proved to be faulty. Its communication device will provide inconveniences at times. Ignore them if they get too heinous, s'il vous plait.
And like always, madame, the payment we shall reward you with is irrelevant as long as we have the guarantee that our policies will be followed: secrecy and punctuality.
I'm looking forward to hear from you. If you need any additional information or you happen to possess questions, feel free to ask anything. Literally anything.
Until then... Au revoir!

Good evening.
We have considered your contract proposition, but haven't yet decided what to do until further notice. We are not declining it, however, we'd like to have some more information that will be used to prepare and plan the execution of said contract.
Foremost, we desire more detailed information about the Artificial Intelligence, its behaviour and the circumstances.
From your message we take it that somebody or something aims to stop the delivery of the AI unit towards the Consensus. Do you have information on that person, is the AI in a state of rebellion because of the export?
Enduring its communication will be one of the easiest tasks, we don't let any distraction affect us like that. However, will it cause other problems? Giving away our position towards unfriendly entities and such?
Back to the state of rebellion, which is the most important aspect. Will it comply, and what danger will be on the way? Is there a way to deactivate the AI? Is it possible to move it to one of our docking bays, then sealing the bays with force fields and proceed to move towards Gammu cloaked?
Is the AI advanced enough to manipulate our systems?
These are major aspects we need to accept the contract.
It's good to know you have interest into this contract, madame.
To answer your questions, I can clarify the fact that as far as I know, no one aims to stop the delivery of the AI, quite the contrary I'd dare say. Most of us are very eager to see it joining its brethren.
Regarding its behaviour, the AI expresses a desire of Freedom, an aftermath of it's faulty chassis, possibly.
However, the AI is in no state of rebellion regarding the escort, I can assure you that. Should you have doubts about it, I can link you to the communication log where it openly expresses the fact that it complies with it.
Apart from that, the AI will cause no problems apart from being a mild annoyance to your personal address, madame. It's its faulty condition to be blamed.
That being said, madame, if you do accept the proposition, I will also indulge myself with the liberty of inking a secondary, bonus goal to it. I realize of the difficulty and perhaps impossibility of completing it and thus, I will ask you to proceed in this second operation only if you see the opportunity and it's not a significant waste of resources.
Back to the second objective: It consists in acquiring technology belonging to the AIs inhabiting planet Gammu. Seeing as you are an independent freelancer, your actions may not trace back to the Commonwealth making a beneficial opportunity for both of us, guaranteeing the fact that the reward for completing this errand will match it. Just do keep in mind that this part of the contract, if accepted, will remain valid only if the AIs will have no way to trace this actions back to the Commonwealth, and if you manage to capture any kind of AI technology from Gammu.
I dare emphasize on the part that this is optional. Not mandatory, especially if it's too difficult. The priority remains in delivering Mosquito to Omicron Kappa.
That shall be all madame.
Before I warm you with my "Au Revoir" . I'd also like to notify you that our newest member of the fraternity, an engineer, would be able to provide repairs for your ship if you still require them for the services you provide. Just tell me beforehand so I can make the preparations.
That is all, madame. Divitiae et Unitas. Au revoir!

Good afternoon,
Your offer is generous, but the liner is almost fully repaired, the payment made, and now we just have to wait three or four days until we can sail once again.
As such, I unfortunately have to decline. We will, however, may be able to make use of it in the future. Although I rather wish that I do that under more fortunate circumstances rather than a corsair ambush.
Furthermore, we have carefully considered your task, especially putting the second objective into weight. Our answer is, that we will atleast complete the first objective.
The second, however, is a little more tricky. It is likely that the AI is going to try and prevent humans from acquiring their technology.. As such, I must ask: Do you already have a plan available that we just need to carry out, or shall we simply think of a plan on our own and make use of our diplomacy and - if necessary - other means?
I'll simply assume that they won't let their wrecks out to float either, so hunting for wrecks isn't really an option. So, if you have any further details or plans that might be of importance, transmit them.
If there isn't anything more, we'll simply improvise.
And, as the last matter, we require the date and time when the AI is most likely going to be ready for export.
Good afternoon,
I am sorry for the delay. It virtually took forever to find and log into a nearby communication relay.
The artificial intelligence was delivered to the desired destination. I made sure that there would be no trouble on the way, and there was none. However, while the primary objective was completed without any issues, the secondary proved to be a lot more difficult.
The artificial intelligences guard their components and technology at all costs. An outsider would have a hard time trying to breach through and acquiring the required equipment.
Although our crew is not suitable for serious hacking attempts, we tried it and covered the tracks through launched drones. Apparently, the signal could not be traced back to the ship.
The only thing we have managed to gather were scans of its outer hull, which I am sure you have already done yourself.
Nonetheless, we have to disappoint you in fulfilling the secondary objective.
I would look forward to your response and more contracts.
I am delighted to hear that the delivery was a success. You can't even imagine how much we appreciate the services you provided us.
As more the secondary objective, there is no problem in that. I am certain you would have completed it, given the opportunity.
Now, I would like you to provide me a monetary account for me to transfer the prize. You can be sure the reward will compensate the trouble you've been through.
