Guten tag officiers of the Buro Der Marineintelligenz,

I am contacting you on behalf of our Vorsitzender Helene Schmidt und Stellvertretender Vorsitzender Ulrich Schweighöfer. Both are very occupied with a lot of paperwork lately. Because of that they asked me to do this delicate work for them. The work given to me involved this case #583923 too. I had to contact our head of security for more information about it on our private communication channels. It has resulted in me sending this delicate transmission towards you. I want to remind you that we want to handle this with the utmost of delicacy as possible!

Let me start with telling you more about this case. It involves an encounter with a member of the Junker Congress, one would say it would be nothing special. That was exactly on my mind too, however this case has proven it differently.

If you see the report evidence here you can see that the junker was talking about a snowglobe, to Krüger Mineralien ships scanning devices it was clear that it had a concealed Nomad origine equipment of some sort. With our lack of intelligence we decided not to destroy it, because we are not aware what kind of consequences it could have in Rheinland space, not to mention in our home of New Berlin. We decided to let the pilot of Kruger|Lambda-06 set his ship on autopilot and evacuate on the other security ship in the convoy. Then to remotely engage the autopilot and the tractor beam so it would be beamed on the ship while being in a safe distance. The Kruger|Lambda-06 escort ship with unidentified device is drifting in space at this moment and from the data telemetry we are receiving we can conclude that nothing is happening on the ship. But then again, we have no experience in this kind of things.

Also I want to be informed of the next course of actions we could or should take with this ship and the device on board? Krüger Mineralien has no intentions with it and is looking to give this hot potato to someone else. Someone who might have more knowledge about these things, I had in mind Buro Der Marineintelligenz, I hope you can help us here?

Mit freundlichen grüßen,
Frederick Schneider

Sehr geehrter Herr Schneider,

I'm sure you wouldn't contact us if it would be one of those usual Xeno artifacts, but your screens seems to prove the opposite. Even i am surprised to see this kind of artifact. Sadly your scans don't tell us something about its current state. Herr Schneider, you said that the Kruger|Lambda-06 and its artifact aboard is drifting in space. Does it mean your vessel is unguarded?!

I'm sorry to say that but you have to go aboard again and follow my instructions until a team of BDM agents will arrive. It could be radioactive, infectious or even worse. So i suggest you beam your "Snowglobe" into a radiation protected container, if this isn't already the case, and tell me what exactly you can see inside. Does it vibrates or glow? Any other characteristics? Also ensure that nobody will have access to it.

What is the current location of this vessel, if i may ask?

From the desk of,

Guten tag Kommissar Oberrat Volker Koch,

The Kruger|Lambda-06 vessel I mentioned is drifting in space but not unprotected and unguarded. We have set up ship on a very safe distance to observe it, just in case of some unusual happenings. As for the unidentified device on board, it was tractored within ships cargo bay which which is built to contain most of known radiations to mankind. But then again, this thing is probably not made by any man. In any case the ship is well protected it self and can survive even the most dangerous of Omega radiation systems, so whatever is happening inside, if anything is happening at all, is staying inside.

As for the specific characteristics of the unidentified device, we didn’t really went into detail with it. Frankly said, we speeded up the process of getting rid of it, because we feared of what it might do.

Now, about the part of retrieving it, we can provide you with the ship’s control device which will enable you to pilot it from long distances. You can take over this device on Essen Station, ask for Stefan Gerhold. He will hand it over to you. If you are willing to retrieve it the ship’s current location can be found on this device. Its is currently showing this map. For previously specified reason Krüger personnel is not willing to go back to that vessel, I hope you can understand me.

If there are any more questions you need me to answer, I’ll be available at this frequency.

Mit freundlichen grüßen,
Frederick Schneider
