Good day,

I contact you today in regards to a conversation I had just a couple of days ago within the Cortez System. A Rheinland operative along with myself discussed the possibility of presenting myself to the private institute known as the Ravenholm Polytechnic College. I was told to contact the University Of New Berlin, as you work along side said organisation or so I'm lead to assume.


Uploading Audio Files:

BDM|LV-Sleipnir: As an after thought.

BDM|LV-Sleipnir: If your need for a certain commodity is for something non-military related

BDM|LV-Sleipnir: Do give my organization a message. I'm sure we can work something out.

BDM|LV-Sleipnir: Contact the University of New Berlin. There is a private college called the Ravenholm Polytechnic Institute.

I do hope the audio files presented will stand as proof of my contact with your Rheinland operative. As you can hear from my accent, I am Libertonian and I would undoubtedly expect you to be weary of this transmission. I hope my origin does not compromise any business I wish to conduct with the Ravenholm Polytechnic Institute. Mind you, if that was the case, I wouldn't have been asked to contact you now, would I?

I will need to arrange a meeting with the appropriate personnel to escort me to your facility. If you could contact me at your earliest convenience on this channel and arrange a meeting that doesn't conflict with your overwhelming schedule at the University, I will be eternally grateful.

Thank you

Ryan Bishop

Guten abend, Herr Bishop.

I am Professor Diogenes Heinlein, of the Ravenholm Polytechnic Institute of New Berlin, Head of the Department of Research.

SLEIPNIR has informed me that you are a Liberty Security Force agent with the callsign 'Champion.'

As I understand it, you are in need of research materials which may or may not be in the possession of certain labs which operate under the purview of my academic institution, is this correct?

I am afraid that under Article XI of the Protection Act, we are prohibited from contacting members of the armed services and intelligence agencies of houses that are at war with House Rheinland - that is, unless specific conditions are met.

Given that SLEIPNIR has elected to speak to you on this matter, I will give you the benefit of the doubt, and listen to what you have to say.

Who you are, what you want, and why we should trust you, would all be quite pertinent topics to cover.

Until satisfactory answers are given to these questions, I'm afraid that my hands are tied regarding any further interactions between us.

Sincerely,
Diogenes Heinlein, PhD
Department of Research, Ravenholm Polytechnic Institute, Planet New Berlin, New Berlin System

Professor Diogenes Heinlein

I can confirm that I am in need of a certain material that your academic institute "may or may not" have stored within your research facilities. I can also confirm that I am an operative working under the employment of the Liberty Security Force, code named "Champion".

Given any future interaction amongst ourselves is prohibited, allow me to be more concise and elaborate. My name changes quite frequently professor, I'm sure your aware of confidentiality policies that prevent me from stating my name. But you can call me Ryan, since this is the alias I am using.

I am in need of Liquid Cardamine to further my studies on such a rare substance, this however, is a private and personal matter, I would like to keep it that way. The Liberty Security Force is some what detrimental to my research. I can assure you that any information or resource that I might acquire from you, given it is permitted by yourself of course, will be kept secret from Liberty Security Force's personnel and Directorate.

As for trust professor.. I am compromising my position within the Liberty Security Force just by contacting you. In fact, I admittedly make a habit out of doing just that. Right now professor, I am contacting you from a secure location, and I am in the safe and capable hands of The Lane Hackers at current. An organisation you may or may not know of. If you do, then you can empathise for me, as I am clearly going to extreme lengths to ensure that I am well hidden from the lawful forces here within Liberty.

I do hope this proves satisfactory for you professor. I would be quite happy to meet with you in a place your comfortable with, Rheinland Space would be appropriate in fact, for both of us I would imagine. If you wish to know more about the research I am conducting, I am afraid I can only do so in private. I can agree that this is a strange request, given the circumstance. But I can assure you this is strictly business between yourself and I.

I come to you as an independent scientist, as oppose to a representative of the Liberty Security Force. I do hope you can appreciate that.

From one scientist to another, I would very much like to give you the benefit of the doubt. However, there are protocols to be kept for the greater good.

As an institution of science and the pursuit of knowledge, Ravenholm is not in the business of providing highly valuable and potentially dangerous materials to just anyone claiming to be a scientist, nor does it make a habit of providing such materials to the potential benefit of possible enemies of the Rhein.

Before anything is to happen, we will require a full extent of what research will be done on the Liquid Cardamine - to satisfy the ethical and safety concerns of turning over dangerous materials to a self-admitted agent of the LSF - and access to the fruits of the research being done. While you have stated that you would rather keep your research a closely guarded secret, it would be severely negligent of us to exercise any less than the utmost vigilance as far as this nature of research is concerned. Naturally, we would also feel most comfortable if the research is carried out within a laboratory administrated by either my organization, or by my benefactors.

As for your rather... fluid... identity, I suppose we can all appreciate the need for anonymity in this day and age. So long as the research itself is certain to pose no threat to Rheinland, and provides enough of a benefit to us, identity can be overlooked.

If and only if my conditions have been met, will you be permitted to access the material you seek.

Sincerely,

Professor Diogenes Heinlein.


Allow me to begin by briefing you on the research I have conducted thus far. I am in possession of a nomad power cell professor. However, it is not ordinary, ten artifacts are currently orbiting said power cell, scans have suggested a plasma link has been implemented, causing an increase in activity and energy within this power cell. I am hoping, from one scientist to another, to enhance its activity. as I am currently in the initial stages of discovering its primary purpose.

It is suggestive that the power cell may be able to harness energy from a multitude of different things. Initial studies and testing had revealed that cardamine, a substance that is detrimental to life as we know it, stimulated the power cell slightly, causing it too react. However, I only witnessed a glimmer of its potential. I believe liquid cardamine is the key to stimulating the nomad power cell. Although liquid cardamine has a role to play within my research, as do you professor, I would ask that you assist me in my endeavour.

The research I wish to conduct on liquid cardamine is simple, I wish to conduct studies into its natural effect, initially combining liquid cardamine with the power cell to see if it has the capacity to stimulate the power cell into reacting. I also want to look at the molecular structure of said substance and render particular components to enhance the effect liquid cardamine may have on the power cell. It will work as a battery so to speak.

I am quite happy to conduct said research within Rheinland, preferably in a laboratory administered by your organisation. The power cell within my possession at current, will remain in my possession upon completion of our work and throughout the entirety of my time within Rheinland. I wouldn't want to compromise any future research I can conduct on the power cell, simply because it "miraculously disappeared" in the midst of my time in Rheinland. Forgive my apprehension, since I am going to extreme lengths to conceal myself and my research from any prying eyes. I'm sure you can empathize once more for my situation.

Herr Bishop,
You are hereby allocated lab space on BDM|LV-Eir. Due to the rather... risky nature of nomadic power cell research, I'm sure you can understand the dangers of putting stations or even planets in the potential blast radius of an unknown high-energy artifact.

The Eir has been prepared for your arrival, and is holding in Koeln.
Kapitan Johannes Schieffen has orders to ensure that your needs are met, which includes the maintenance of cutting edge Class XIII facilities and support personnel.

A sample of Liquid Cardamine has also been allocated for your use on site.

Sincerely,
Diogenes Heinlein, PhD

Professor Diogenes Heinlein.

It is lovely to hear from you again, I imagine you have been rather busy, I originally assumed you became a victim of an experiment that had gone wrong. Nevertheless, I feel privileged to work along side you and I am grateful that you have allowed me to conduct my research in a laboratory permitted by your organisation.

I am already in Rheinland, safe and well, I will make my way to the Koeln System shortly, I am currently aboard Brandenburg Border Station within the New Berlin System. I have been talking to some of the locals here, to get a feel for what Rheinland is like, Of course I haven't been revealing the reason as to my presence here, that would be silly.

I will inform you as to when I have arrived in the Koeln System aboard the BDM|LV-Eir and I will forward any research conducted to this channel, so that you may share your expertise in this field with me. Your suggestions and ideas will be welcome.

Ryan Bishop
