We have not met before, but one of my colleagues passed on how to get in contact with you. This particular colleague holds you in high esteem, and when someone who respects few people speaks highly of someone it is hard not to listen. I understand you are formerly a member of the Hellfire Legion, yet recently you have fled to the Omicrons to start a new life. The Omicrons are a harsh, desolate place... not the easiest of places to find a new start. Perhaps I may be able to assist you.
I represent a group who are dedicated to safeguarding humanity from a number of threats - among which are those posed by Artificial Intelligences. What were rumours became evident in recent times as they "harvest" an increasing number of humans. These threats, sadly, currently overwhelm us. We lack the tools and the equipment needed to survive and compete. This is where you come into the equation, Ms. Snow. When attempting to compete with these self-adapting machines, we need the very best engineering talent we can find. You are that talent.

Greetings Lady,
It's not been more than 3 hours since I mentioned I am looking for a new job and here I come with two offers already. Before I make my final decision, can you elaborate who are you and group you represent? However, I must admit your offer makes me curious. Machines, harvesting, Engineering, sounds like a job for me. Though, Katherine and talented? I've created and repaired just some huge ships, transports and made some nice stuff... But if you believe I am the right one, so be it. Elaboration first, though.
I am glad to hear a reply from you, Ms. Snow. You are wise to ask questions, it is a promising trait.
The group I am representing acts to protect humanity from artificial intelligence and the threat it poses to our survival. As you may have seen whilst staying in the Omicrons the very real threat the PRIME mainframe poses. Attacks, abductions, corruption of human computing technology. On the other hand, scientific development within human society has been progressing dangerously close to creating the same danger from within.
A specialist taskforce is required to deal with this threat, and considering the political landscape of Sirius at this current time... and (very real) potential for governmental corruption and mis-prioritisation... we have taken it upon ourselves to be this independent unit. We've called ourselves "Sentinels"... a little grandiose for my tastes perhaps. You have already met our founder I believe, a certain Dr.Thorn.
Our mission creates some rather specific challenges, many of which require us to fight technology with technology - given the profile Dr. Thorn provided me, I'm sure you'd relish the opportunity to innovate in such an environment. There is plenty to do, and few others we see as trustworthy and skilled enough to do what needs to be done.
